Some don't have a vent line, but rather a springloaded one way vent identical to the ones on the axle housings.

How hard would it be on the engine to deliberately run it on 5 cylinders for an extended period like that?

How hot is the fuel when it comes through IP? What pressure? If low enough pressure, I wonder if you could get away with cutting out the bad section and bridge it with flexible tubing and hose clamps....

I've got a spare, scrap aluminum computer heatsink we can use if you think it'll absorb enough heat without melting...

Looking good.

What filters are those? What micron rating? I'm kind of going back and forth on whether to go with a filter setup or shell out for a centrifuge.

10 to 12 mpg? How? Strapped down to a flatbed trailer?

If all else fails, you know there are people who make reproduction data plates for these trucks in this country. They'll put whatever numbers you want on it.

And that's kind of the problem. In most places, just about everyone is violating some kind of local ordinance whether they know it or not. Not a problem so long as you don't have neighbors who want to rat you out. Unfortunately, this often means not having any neighbors at all. Most human...

I wonder if we could put a fitting or something on it to apply regulated pressure to the system with your air compressor. that way we could visually inspect the lines to see if there's any slow leaks while it's all exposed like this.

Have you tried talking to them? See what their gripe is. See if you can live with whatever it is they want from you as an accomodation. If you can, do it. If you can't, well... then I guess we'll be waiting for the updates with pics. From what little you've posted about them, they don't...

Could you even turn up the fuel high enough to get the deuce to go that fast without ventilating the side of your engine block?

Cheaper to just buy two commercial truck batts at 70 apiece.

Are you sure they weren't the older Korean war era deuce? That had an automatic transmission. Or did the Canadians refit M35s with automatic transmissions?

Got a spare switch lying around? I'd swap that out as an easy thing to check. eta: Oh yeah, the big grounding strap isn't the only ground you need to worry about. I'm not looking at my truck right now, but there is another ground wire for the lights that goes to either the fender or something...

Bummer. Into how many pieces had they whacked them? Yeah, I'd love to have one for mounting a 1919 or something to, but even if it's non-fuctional as a gun ring, so long as it's sole duty is to prevent driver compression in the event of inverted operation, I'll be happy. I'm hoping a cheap...

Ok, so they've got to get mutilated before being sold as scrap right? So who's buying the scrap that has the rings in them? I'm not opposed to careful rewelding and grinding to get something that at least provides some rollover protection.

Hah, I actually said that the other day, that I wanted to trade a deuce for an M37. I'm pretty far from you. I'd definitely want to wait until the weather cools off a bit. But a buddy of mine lives near Hite that I haven't seen in awhile...

From what I gather, this thread is full of people who are interested in devising a way to minimize the risk of being crushed by their 14k pound vehicle. Who is your theoretical lawyer going to sue in his class action lawsuit? Who is then going to require that you have your deuce outfitted with...

Good lord you people wear your feelings on your shirtsleeves. Anyhoo, not talking about this because of what some lawyer might read is pretty dumb. Who is the lawyer going to sue? AM General? It's a big freakin truck with a soft top. Well, duh. Of course you're not going to fare well...
