    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Remove the sending unit from the fuel tank. It probably has a ton of corrosion on the sliding contact. Usually GM tank sending units only last ten years tops before acting up. I just replace them.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I bought the "King Pin Spring" eliminator kit too. Just haven't installed it yet. I think most of the "Death Wobbles" come from this defective part.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Now that is real nice and very clean looking !!! Did you make the plate yourself or did you have it made ? If you had it made, how much did they charge you and are they willing to make more ?

    Night Owl patrol help needed on light swap question

    It should work fine. The LED's might not work properly though. Depends on the LED's.

    M35A2 no throttle

    You need to make sure the "plunger sleeve pin" is fitting in the "plunger sleeve slot" . See the attached picture.

    spicer 3053a top cover questions.

    If you fill it to the top it will leak out the front shaft. There is no seal there. Fill it to the top of the fill plug only.

    what cordless tool are you using to get your lug nuts off

    The new Milwaukee High Torque is far superior to any tool out there. I own two of them and really like having the ability to bust free really stuck bolts up to 3/4" ! It can take off some of my Deuce lug nuts too. Really don't like using it for that since it really is not designed for that kind...

    M35a2 Intake Manifold Bad Casting Or Rusted Out

    The water manifold is aluminum so that is not rust. Just a bit of corrosion. If your really concerned you can take it off and sand-blast it. Then paint the inside with a good Aluminum primer and high gloss paint. There are several "freeze plugs" on this manifold. So this would be a good time to...

    DIY camper box construction- what sizes/wall thickness steel or alu have you used?

    The buses here use "Sikaflex" and rivets to hold on the aluminum panels. The stuff works great ! If the metal is clean, the bond you get is tremendous.

    Bombardier MLVW , anyone know these beasts ?

    Sad to say your right about that ! My best friend is planning to move to either Idaho or Montana. He say he cannot take all the crap laws and taxes from Seattle and this state in general. I totally agree but I have so much invested into this place (blood, sweat, and tears) that I just cannot...

    Bombardier MLVW , anyone know these beasts ?

    I like that ! Maybe that is what I should tell them here. It's just a big pick-up truck ! A really big pick-up truck !

    Steel Soldiers migration 12/9/19

    Having that ability to look up old pictures and documents I had already up-loaded really saved time. Especially when helping someone who has the same old problems. Also many of those pictures I posted where the only ones I had, since my hard-drive crashed two years ago. Yes I know I should have...

    Does that mean all our archived pictures and documents are gone ?

    Another potentially stupid question

    Diesel Dominator, a "sequential shifter" is used on race transmissions. The deuce is not a race car nor is it's transmission anything close to a race transmission. This Spicer transmission is a 1950's design and was originally shifted by "Double-Clutching" . That is a very slow process, not a...

    Just like the rest of us, a little exercise goes a long way for preventive maintenance .

    Galvanized Deuce Wheels

    Got the last two wheels welded up today. A little touch-up with the sander to get rid of the welding splatter and now this Monday they will go back to the sand-blasters to get the welds blasted. Don't want any welding slag underneath the Galvanizing.

    Galvanized Deuce Wheels

    That's a great tool catalog ! To bad you can no longer get those tire tools. I see where the military got the idea to use the Ken Tool "Powerench" .
