Hopefully someone will know the proper paint. I could use the codes/colors for this 1988 BV206 that was delivered to the Norwegian Defense Forces in December of 1988. Thinking of going black and white instead. Any thoughts out there?

Thanks a bunch for the heads up on that one. Won't be using anything mechanical to clean that area up. Will be ordering parts soon and will post more pic on reassembly. Phil

Look what ONE improperly torqued head bolt can do. One head bolt on cylinder #6 on my Cummins 250 (M818) was very loose. I found this out by first a tell tale sign of moisture dripping out of the engine breather tube, then oil in the water and water in the oil. Measured the temp on each...

Joe, I live up in Franktown which is Douglas County. To get a regular tag its the same here for diesel emissions. But one of the clerks suggested that I get an Historic Truck/Tractor plate for my deuce which does not require an emissions test. The plate has a picture of an older Peterbilt...

Enjoy. 20 rigs today.

John, no I didn't. I'll be sure to check that next time. Are you coming up for the parade?? Phil

My deuce gets 10-11 mpg unloaded. My M818 Cummins 250 gets about 6 by itself, maybe 4 mpg pulling this trailer (M971).

RE: New transmission, transfercase, brakelite switch vent sy yeh good point. Keep the gear oil and the brake fluid on their own circuits. Thanks

Replaced the individual constantly plugging vents on my M818 with a system consisting of 1/4' outside diameter plastic tubing and some 1/4 x 1/8" brass fittings. My individual seemed to be plugged no how many times I cleaned them. The transmission and transfer case seals were both seeping gear...

Works good. Lasts long time. The sizes on this thing are 3/16, 1/4, 5/16 and 3/8".

Here is a picture of the square socket tool I use to remove the rear 1/4 " pipe plug on the airpacks of both my 5 ton M818 and my Deuce. The one where you can add some air tool oil to keep things lubricated in there. I got this at Home Depot in the plumbing dept. Both trucks' plugs were...

That is one truck that every bit of time put in to it will be well worth it. Can't wait to see it finished!!

Thanks DaveP, are those the 9" offset ones?

Does anyone know if the Betts 9 inch offset mudflap hangars, part number B69 can be mounted on the M818 side frame rails and give enough clearance behind the rear drive axle tires?? Has anyone mounted any other aftermarket mudflap hangers without mounting some sort of frame extensions on a...
