The inside of the boot on the drivers side keeps coming loose. The boot looks good and I have cleaned both the boot and axel but it keeps coming loose. How tight should the clamp be? I did not want to over tighten it however I don’t want to keep having to put it back on.

I tried to adjust the front brakes. When you turn the wheel it will spin and then one of the shoes will grab. Drove it and drum was getting very hot. I pulled the hub to check the brake shoes. Shoes look ok but the bearings are not the same. Are both front bearing the same? One of the...

What is the process to adjust the brakes? I can’t find the manual and searching posts I am unable to locate anything.

My brakes are possessed. When I start the truck with no air the brake peddle will go almost to the floor. The truck has some brakes but little. When the air builds up the brakes seam ok, however sometimes the peddle will go soft and sometime it will get hard, almost to the point of not being...

I put 2 new Firestone Hawk 9.00 20’s on the front of my deuce. I drove it about 3000 miles with the tires and noticed a cupping wear pattern on the tread. Both sides of the tire seamed to wear about the same. Also both tires seamed to have the same wear pattern. What is the cause? Bad...

Started mounting the 15.5/80 20’s. I got the front two on. Wow what a difference. I had to build rims. I was able to get one tire mounted on the stock rim. It took a lot of hammering and work. Pinched tube so I had to dismount it and start all over. I took a stock rim and cut three inches...

Ok I heve read posts where the stock rims are used with wider tires. Some say yes and some say no. I know the 15.5's and 395's list a 10" or 11" rim to mount. Who is running the tires on stock rims and how are they working? Is there any sidewall issues when running the narrower rim?

Going with super singles on the deuce. What width rims. I know the 395’s came on a 10” wide rim but what would be wrong with putting them on the stock width rim. Other than a little sidewall bulge what would be wrong with using the stock rims.

What is the average price for an air pack rebuild kit and who has them. I am having break problems off and on and I am sure the air pack needs rebuilding from the posts I have read.

Anybody know what the average price is for a Ferret. I know I have to state, the vehicle and not the animal. It is complete but in need of restoration. It was said to have been running when parked about 10 years ago.

67 M35A2. When I got the truck it would start right up. I have put around 3000+ miles on it. It would turn over 4 or 5 times and go. Now you have to crank for 10-15 seconds or more before it will fire. Changed the filters, bled air. Top bleeder will pump fuel 3-4' in the air. Fuel is mixed...

Are there any hubs that will swap on rockwell 2.5 ton axels to go from 6 to 10?

1st – 4th not much noise. When I go to 5th and accelerate there is a lot of gear whine noise. When I changed the fluid there was not an odd amount of metal in the oil but have not checked in the last 1,500 miles. Is this normal or do I have a bearing going out.

For thoes that have done a bobbed truck or might be planning a project. What would be best for a bobbed truck. 11.00 20's, 395 20s or 16.00 20's. ??? will the 395's or 14.00's mount on stock rims. I have the 16.00 20's but I know it will need some suspension work and I think the motor will...

Someone needs to buy these and sell of one by one. I don't need 125,000lbs of cabs but would take one. http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=1003551&convertTo=USD

Slow speed and idel it will stay around 180 or less. Road speed of 50-55 temp climes to 200-210. Any ideas. Have not roded the rad yet but looks like the water is cerulating good.

I was driving, 60 mile trip. At the end the brakes locked down. I was able to get home but were dragging real bad. Air would come out of the service hook up on the rear when I opened the valve. What is causing this and how to fix.

Well I scored a hard top that is fixable. Rough but would work. I went to put it on and it is about 6” too wide on each side of the cab. The tag inside showed 2 ½ and 5 ton however it does not fit the deuce. Put it on anyway to see. When I drove down the road it was much cooler. The sides...

Ok I have a 1967 deuce. The cab measures 70 at the back 63 at the windshield. I found a hard top that has a tag inside that says 2 1/2 ton 5 ton enclosure. The hard top measures 82 back and 75 windshield. What is going on here?

Has anyone used mineral oil as a fuel in the deuce. I have a line on used mineral oil. The oil was used in transformers and is changed out. Think it would work?
