I was in the process of doing my deuce bobb job and ran into some front axle issues. Thanks to Banshee365, FrodoBagggins, and Recovry4x4 I decided to take advantage of bearable 70 degree temperature in the Texas Hill Country and "get er done". I had taken everything apart and cleaned all the...
I broke off the fitting (see attached) between the rubber primary filter hose and the I.P. I was able to get the piece out of the I.P. using a "easy out" but I cannot find a replacement fitting anywhere. I found the part (6VBTXB) in the 20P TM' but not details. Can anyone give me the thread...
I purchased a DMC AF8 crimper and searched threads to find the best "turret" to used with Packard connectors. Does anyone know the best turret number for the job?
I have been trying to find information in the TM's on servicing my front axle u-joints (see attachment). My hubs had some oil and water and I have serviced or replaced everything else but need to do the u-joints. Any pointers?
I have download all the TM's I think I will need to work on my deuce. But, are we going to suspend the "refer to the TM's" comments until the resources section gets back on line?
I started my front axle service using Banshee365's PDF and everything went south in a hurry. I drained the differential and oil was the consistency of pancake batter. It was not brown so I am not sure about water. Once I removed the wheel hub I knew I was in trouble. There was oil contaminated...
I am painting my deuce with a base coat of Rapco 383 green and have brown and black in spray cans from Rapco for the camo pattern. I made my first attempt at doing a freehand section of black over the green today and did a real crappy job. I tried to be real careful but there is a serious...
I purchased a Master Cylinder rebuild kit for a 1964 Jeep CJ5 and began to rebuild my trailer M/C today. The kit matches up item for item with the parts removed except for one rubber washer. Please check my photo's and let me know if anyone can identify what it is and where it goes in the M/C/...
I began the overhaul of my 10K winch today and came across a part I cannot identify. The TM shows it in the illustration but it is not referenced. I is a hinge of some type and mine is somewhat bend with a small hole in the hinge plate. It may be broken off but I am not sure. What is it and is...
I thought I saw a Step X Step thread for the rear axle that is similar to Banshee's for the front axle. I have searched but came up empty. Is my memory gone or can someone point me in the right direction?
I have decided to overhaul my 10K winch and have found numerous sources for winch seal kits and brake bands but I have not found a source for gaskets. Does anyone know of a source for the gaskets needed for such a project or do you always reuse the existing ones. The only other option I can...
If any members live near the San Antonio, TX area, you may want to check out this deal on Craiglist. It is a large wheel dolly capable of handling up to 1500 lbs. I called the guy and he will sell it for $125 but it is just too big for my shop. Maybe someone else can benefit. I have seent...
I am installing secondary spin-ons on my deuce. I have changed filters before and have bleed the system per the 20 TM. My question is does anyone have a tip on the best way to keep the fuel from splashing all over when bleeding from the petcock (No. 11 in the 20TM)?
I have been trying to submit the info needed to get an SR97 for my M101A2 to GL but they are saying I do not have the correct info. Bottom line, my trailer's data plate did not show a manufacturers name and only has a 4 digit serial number. They way they cannot process my request without a VIN...
I just received two new universal glad hands from George at White Owl truck parts. Do the same glad hands that are used at the rear air lines, the same ones that are on the trailer air lines? I am not sure whether there is a difference in the two.
I have read just under one million posts about deuce boots and many different opinions. Since these post are sometimes dated, I would like to know what the most popular boot choice is today. I am getting ready to follow "Step x Step" on my front axle and need to make a boot choice. I do not...
I moved the my wiring harness in the process of shortening my frame. I started to reinstall it today and realized I am not sure how to remount the trailer receptacle. The is nothing indicating which side is "up" The only unique mark on the receptacle is a small slit on the round metal sleave...
