Hooking up a 24 to 12 volt conveter and wandering if both systems can share chassis ground?
Would like to ground 12 volt lights and stuff to chassis instead of running seperate ground wires.
Got my filtering system finished and just ran 100 miles on 50/50 mix of diesel and WMO, tranny fluid, gas, etc.
Truck ran like striped ape, better than it ever had before!
I had previousely adjusted fuel screw to give good boost and EGT so this mixture of alternative fuels was a surprise...
Finally got up the nerve to install my pyrometer.
Dropped turbo down to keep metal shavings out. Drilled aft side of manifold right before turbo turn down in casting. New gaskets and back together.
Using older Stewart & Warner gage that does not require external electricity and K-type sensor...
Had a fun and oily weekend where I changed out all the gear oils and here are findings. Truck had full PCMS by Army about 500 miles ago. Truck has 20,000 miles on it. I drained oil through a clean old t-shirt to catch any trash for inspection.
Axles: All three had like new oil, no metal...
Hello from a fellow Arkansan!
When your ready for that Duece you may find a good one on GL out of Camp Robinson, Ar or Red River, Tx. Both close to home for you.
Several other Arkansas guys on here to help and chat with.
Closing the hood on Deuce and it got away from me and slammed shut last foot or so.
This caused the hood latch to fly back into radiator and poke pinhole leak.
While fixing the damage I found that it had been been damaged once before in same spot and soldered up.
I'm going to make a...
Air compressor belt tension is set by screwing outer pully half in and out while holding the inner half still. I rigged up a tool that worked but took several hours of work though!aua
If you bring your truck to south Arkansas I'll work on it, but (always a but!) the price is subject to...

I am back in line again waiting on EUC.
Started this thread on first truck that timed out with EUC.
Current EUC is at 30 days.
Funny thing on first try was that I received a letter from Battle Creek saying I had been reviewed for EUC about 5 days after GL refunded my money.
HA! Make you go...
No promises from GL
Previewing a M109 with ladder, asked if ladder went with truck? Reply was that he could not promise that because the GL stuff was used as spare parts depot by local Army units!
GL rep. at Camp Robinson, AR. told me that the soldiers have free reign to come and take any...
My lost winning bid was on a truck and trailer at Hooks, TX.
After 60 days GL cancelled sale on me.
At 92 days I got the EUC letter in mail from Battle Creek, just a little too late!
I am watching for more Dueces to come up for auction in Hooks or Little Rock.
Better luck next...
Battle Creek sucks!
I checked my GL Invoice and it now says VOID/CANCELLED

I remember that truck back when I previewed all of them at RRAD on Event 4663.
That truck and another parked right beside it (missing driveshaft) were both Air Force trucks. See big blue instruction plate on dash.
I ended up winning the M35A2 w/winch parked right in front of yours.
I went...
I hope to be there but don't have my truck out of the GL bunch yet. Waiting on Battle Creek office. But now that I know that some of you local guys will be there, I just have to so I can meet you in person.

Won a M35A2 w/winch and M105
