When the head gasket blows on an LDT 465 1D, where does it usually let go? Between cylinders? Or into the water jacket? I know Westech had a leaker, and others have too. I am just curious where the failures occurred. If everyone who has had one or seen one blow would chime in, I would...

I picked up the engine I bought from GL Anniston Alabama today. It was listed as a Hercules LD 465-1. When I opened the can, I had an LDT 465-1D. The motor was made by White in 1986. No rebuild tags, so it should be all original. Everything is there but the clutch and the generator pulley. The...

All Berg Supply, in Fayetteville NC has quite a selection of used 900x20 and 1100x20 NDT's. $20 to $25 each, 75% or better tread. Call Chip at 910-485-8800. I am making a run up there next week to get some 1100's, I need 7, Lloyd (popop) wants 8. I will be dragging a trailer behind the little...

All This post may need to be somewhere else, the moderators can decide. I visited the paint facility at MCLB Albany the other day. I was doing a little consulting work on the armor line, where they are doing the HUMMV armor kits for Iraq. I got to tour the place, Ye Gods!! at the MV's...

All I know the cabs are identical on the old M-123, M-35, and M-52 series, so the tops all interchange. Are they the same on the M-813 5 ton trucks? The reason I am asking is there are a bunch of canvas tops for the 5 ton M-813 on GL, A4 condition, and I was looking at bidding the lot. Nice...

All Look on E-Bay Motors under "Military Vehicles" There is a deuce cab and front clip, with doors and hardtop (no dent!). Looks good, only bringing $25 at the moment. If it wasn't at the far end of the country from me, I would be on it like a duck on a June Bug!

All Anyone needs some front flanges desplined, send them on to me. I cut 4 hubs today, takes about 1/2 hr each. I am using a 1" carbide insert boring bar and opening them up from 1 5/8" to 1 7/8". I don't have to remove the expansion plugs on the outboard side, I set an indicator and bore to...

A seller "kcgonzo" has quite a few M-35 and M-54 parts on E-Bay right now. Brake shoes, fuel injection pump for a LDT 465 ($75 current bid), lights, air packs for 2.5's and 5 tonners, etc. The items look good, and his feedback is decent. Prices are currently reasonable to me. Anyone on the list...

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, Deuceaholics.... I will be visiting Shirleys Military Surplus late next week. They are located in Barnesville Ga., about 15 miles down 19/41 South of Griffin. I talked to the owner the other day and he told me there were around 100 trucks on his yard, about 30 are...

I am going to build a deuce towbar, and I have a couple of questions for those who have a military setup: 1) How long is the bar? 2) What is the size of the mounting point on the truck?

All Anyone know of an inexpensive LDT 465 somewhere within a couple of hundred miles from Atlanta? I am in the process of dragging in a deuce with a rather large viewport through the block. The rest of the engine is there, and it was running not too long ago. I could use one with a bad turbo...

All I had a death in the family and was in Fla. attending a funeral the first part of the week. My favorite great aunt (96 yrs old) who taught me to weld with a cutting torch and a coat hanger when I was 12! What a gal! All of you that requested deuce CD's, I mailed 3 today. Of course, I...

Dudes and Dudettes I have got a great field trip coming up in a couple of weeks! One of my equipment suppliers has installed several 2K paint mix systems at the Marine Corps Logistics base in Albany Ga. Seems there are some problems with the pumps they use to mix CARC, problems that will...

All I have a line on (2) 1944 GMC CCKW's that a fellow wants to sell. I am not really interested for myself, but I told him I would try to find new homes for them. I have not seen them, but one is supposed to be fairly complete except rear body, the other a good parts truck. I am going to see...

All I was looking through the M35A3 manuals, and they call for 14.50x20 Michelin Radials for the supersingles. I had been under the impression that the deuce used 11x20's for that application. Question: If you choose to run the 14.50x20's, where do you get the wheels? 2nd: Will they fit the...

Go look at this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=80765&item=4516601201&rd=1 It is a pole setter? One of the specialty trucks. Maybe, just maybe, a tad overpriced. But, who am I to know? Regards To All Rober Miller

All Which is the best variant of the 465, from the standpoints of power vs. reliability? I am sure the turbo versions make more power, and better fuel economy, but I am concerned with reliability. Comments? Regards Robert

All I am looking for some basic transfer case information. Does the t-case have a rear wheel drive only position? I see mention of removing the front drive flanges for road trips, I assumed it was to reduce the drag of the front diff. Now, after looking through the operators manual, I am...
