    A3 to A2 Bearing Conversion

    That flat drain cap clinto is using won't survive much abuse. He needs a sch. 40 domed cap. I have whacked mine very hard. Hasn't broke.

    Top end oiling

    That would be awesome. No rush. Just whenever you get the chance.

    Top end oiling

    I need to get my hands on a set of new style head gaskets. I have an idea brewing but I need a pattern to work from.

    Bearing roar

    I have a bearing screaming in mine. At some point next year I'm going to tear into it. It's ear shattering in the cab. I have a muffler which makes the bearing/gear noise all the more obvious/painful.

    HMMWV or A3 seat on a A2 Spring Driver base

    I have 2 m35a3 drivers seats and suspension bases in my truck. Looooove them. Actually the seats are hmmwv seats on A3 bases. Best I can tell a3 seats and hmmwv seats are identical. The hmmwv seats bolted right to the a3 bases.

    HMMWV's for sale, no longer maybe, it happened

    Once I saw the prices these things sold for I couldn't help but to laugh so hard I about passed out from lack of oxygen.

    Top end oiling

    I could see oil starvation of the rockers causing the engine to burn a little oil but I dunno about blow by.

    Top end oiling

    1/4" should be fine. Though I wonder what benefit doing this mod would gain you. I don't remember top end lubrication being an issue with these engines. I don't see how more lubrication would be a problem.

    AM/FM Radio + Speakers Installation Questions

    For what your wanting to do I highly suggest a second 12v alternater. Also, you should look into installing a muffler.

    MRAP wheels, Goodyear MVT tires, Beadlock or runflats?

    Your bead lock should be about 8" wide for a 10" wheel and 9" for an 11" wheel. If your wheels and tires came mounted chances are you have run flats already in them.

    Top end oiling

    Study the oil gallery diagram and make note of which rockers got fed less oil. It would be interesting if 2 engines had the same pattern of oil flow....or not.

    Deuce Power steering question

    There's a lot of guys who have deuces around you. Maybe one of them will offer assistance. I'd be more than happy to help if I wasn't at the furthest point in the state away from you.

    You don't like valve chatter?

    You need to add some caster to your front end.

    Fuel Issues - No Start

    Now I see what you mean.

    Fuel Issues - No Start

    How would that help? Engine oil will just wash it away. The side of the control rod that sticks is exposed to fuel. So again grease will just dissolve.

    Deuce Lock out Hubs WIW

    Mile marker selectro hubs used to be cheap. Now they are getting around 6 to 800 dollars for them. At that price I'd much rather have a set of ouverson hubs. A friend of mine has the selectro hubs on his truck. He's not a fan. The turn dial to engage them can rotate if you get in a rut and...

    Sticky shutoff, really frustrating

    Be aware all that kroil is mixing with the engine oil. I doubt it will hurt anything. Unless you emptied an entire can in there. Then I suggest changing the oil.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Ditto.
