It's rather easy to just put the wire on and make a small hole (1/2") for the plug that comes with the charger. I have one like it but no slave connector.

Scar59...If you don't find one that you want to go with, Rochester Indiana is far away but the guy that did mine is excellent on the Allison....and I bought him a $600 book with all the details. If whoever you chose does not have the right manual....walk away. That's a nice clean holding...

Safety.... I about gave my right thumb to my deuce project but God let me keep it a while longer (both thumb and deuce project). We are dealing with a lot of weight and mass in motion tends to stay in motion unless a body part is there to stop it. Don't do that.

Please add some in-process photo's. The roof rack sounds a lot like something I had planned, but I have about 32" behind the cab also (after adding M105 bed). Hope all goes smoothly for you.

I'm with Gimpyrobb, probably a shear pin on the gear. My word of wisdom....don't drop it on your foot. You can probably take the end cover off with it still mounted to see if there is a pin sheared.

The trunion being removed. The side plate slipped and tried to take my thumb off. Don't think I broke anything but it bled a lot. All seems okay. A deuce seems small until lifting parts. Next is plating the frame. The rear mount is partly on the new plate and partly on the old...

My suggestion is to plug CTIS or remove it entirely. There are way too many places for something to mess up as the air passage goes through bearings, under it....x6. Imagine holding air pressure in all wheel bearings....it's bound to fail. Clean and repaint the rims. Get new Orings and put...

I'm using an M105A2 bed on the back of my M35A3 4x4 and have two different dimensions for the center of the wheel well to the back of the bed (not including gate). I have 53" in one place and 50" in another. I have not picked up the 105 yet to go measure it myself. Can someone please...

I'm a bit confused, are you talking about a cab extension off the back of the cab?

I added a shock mount outside of the spring for nearly verticle action and close to the wheel with plenty of clearance, especially when hubs reversed and dish out. The stud is my my cut off unbolt and 3/4x1.0 sleaze.

I don't know about this sleeper idea....I am not really liking the one here; www.easternsurplus.net/GalleryDetails/435/M35A3-2-12-ton-Cargo-Truck I think it looks better with the 5 ton www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Mtk2-17GxY&index=16&t=0s&list=PLaJlpHroCvpSm1xwSt0dU1fe3-vkvbLCM

That is about 3" of travel, right? Having 3 leafs of 12 taken out, I don't think I've reduced the capacity more than 25%, if that. I would think a 6,000+ payload to have about the same amount of travel. Then 4000# on the bags, so should do 10K or so. Seems that will pull a nice size...

Valve timing comes to mind (but I don't have one, mine is Cat)....is there a way to check it? Have you done a compression test?

Thanks Yarz and M715, I went searching and Grendel replied that the ride quality would be improved with a 10-15 degree angle off vertical to the back. The bag takes care of heavier loading then. My whole purpose in doing the spring and bag was to improve the ride quality. I took out 3 leafs...

I got this from a member who was part of threads that came up on "shackle angle". He said; "Want a better ride? Go more shackle angle, since you have the bags for towing. 10-15 degrees is ideal." Plugging those numbers into the triangle calculator, using 105 degree, the length becomes...

Most articles that deal with shackle angle are for off-road and a lot are working with jeeps that have front shackles. Also, many (dealing with rear suspensions) have the fixed end higher than the end that the shackle is mounted on. Ours is a straight frame. In general, if the motion of the...

I'm going for extra lights on the rear, (maybe flashers) being one of the slowest vehicles on the road. If you use a bit of Flotrol the brush and roller works really well. With the 1101/2 there are a LOT of corners and hard to get places that spray can reach, where a brush and roller can't...

I need a bit of info that my thread has not generated. I'm about to mount the springs and frame mounts from the M105 trailer on the deuce 4x4 project and need to know the angle for the rear shackles. The springs are 47" center of pin to center of pin with no load (not on) and I estimate with...

TOBASH....you are going to have to break down and buy a can of green paint.
