I did the biggest bonehead maneuver today- I left my engine running for 2 hours! Oops, forgot to turn it off after spooling the turbo down and my idiot coworkers didn't have the courtesy to let me know, they thought it was supposed to be running <img src="emoticons/icon_smilie_bitchin.gif"...

I saw one of the specialized head bolt tool,s on eBay- are they worth getting, are they hard to find etc.? I made on just like that for my Ducati head bolts by bending a cheap wrench, but am worried that really wouldn't work on the deuce- what do they need to be torqued to?

ahh! so that's why the fronts didn't leak any fluid out. Lucky my rear seals are OK for the time being though <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif" alt="Big Smile">

oh believe, I could care less what they think, as there are motorhomes up and down the street. Problem is in the lease they wouldn't let me park it there. <img src="emoticons/icon_smilie_bitchin.gif" alt="Bitchin"> little do they know I'm going to slide it in under their noses in a month or...

well, it was nice being able to store my deuce at my place, but alas we are moving and the new neighbors won't approve of my truck <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_angry.gif" alt="Angry"> looks like I need to find a storage, which greatly inconveniences me more than anything, no more hopping into...

both the airshift and sprag transfer equipped trucks use the same front differential setup- where the axle ends have splines that connect to a splined shaft. Since you won't be using desplined front flanges you won't need to worry, but the front splined flange fits perfectly on the rear...

the problem with the deuce is that it's two rear differentials are locked together, which is why you want to remove the interaxle shaft ideally, but that's easier said than done. The basic rule of a differential is that it is designed to allow one wheel to spin faster than the other when...

I was flipping through the local equipment trader and saw a decent price on some new 1100 20 tractor tires- very directional industrial farm tires. Would these theoretically work on the deuce? What would the traction on the street be like? The only drawbacks I see are they are not DOT...

no kidding? is it really that simple? What does the set screw do? I'll have to check that out!

cool! will that work in my truck since it was converted to straight diesel?

hey all, well, I just got my 3/4 impact and 3/8 air line in anticipation for another flat tire <img src="emoticons/icon_smilie_bitchin.gif" alt="Bitchin"> no, just kidding, but I did get them. So my question is whether the air system on the deuce can get these lugnuts off? My 1/2" impact had...

"Lovingly hand crafted by good-old-boy artisans in the Carolinas " <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_rotfl.gif" alt="ROTFL"> I like it except for the bed choice, it doesn't flow well. A bed from a M715 or Gladiator pickup probably would have worked better, or just cut the stock one in half and...

a 1/2" socket and long breaker bar will work OK. BUT, these things are coated in 40 years of road grime. It's a LONG job on the driveshaft, I attempted it but quit after 10 minutes. My front shaft took an hour. It's a matter of undoing 8 bolts and nuts, but they're hard to get to, especially...

so, needless to say I am unimpressed with my horn, and I've already had to use it a handful of times. It's loud, but WAY too high pitched. I want something that sounds more like a semi horn, or even a train horn. I attempted to "modify" my horn with what little I had- I put an echo chamber...

oh no, they definitely don't compare in the looks department to the deuce. The deuce to me, and even the M37 are THE quintessential military trucks. When I think, MV, I think big wide fenders, slightly sloping hood, slat grill, canvas top. These look like U-HAUL vans/Ford F-600 utility trucks...

will do, just ordered the unit today. I'm going to try to work up the stock handle to operate BOTH parking brakes. Should work, right? And also eliminate the hassle of two handles and trying to find a spot to mount a new one without drilling <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif"...

they had one out at the Toys for Tots drive and MAN, was that thing a beast. I'm not a big fan of the latest military toys cause they're just too high tech for me, but I would have loved to hop over the ropes and climb up in there and drive off! This thing was towering a good 12 feet, a true...

man, I guess I've just been lucky, the only time I've spent under there was taking off my driveshaft and troubleshooting my brake light switch. Well, and draining the tanks if that counts <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve"> Gotten almost 2,000 extremely fun and mostly...

is that a CA requirement only? I contacted our DMV CDL office and asked since the GVW is under 26k if I could tow a trailer under 10k GVW without the combo requirement and they said yes, since that would be the same as a RV type trailer, as long as it wasn't commercial? <img...

nice! thanks Stefos <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_cool.gif" alt="Cool">
