One of the freeze plugs is missing on the top-engine side of my compressor. Pics Attached. Need to drive my Deuce tomorrow and was wondering if I should wait till I get a new freeze plug before I drive it? The compressor still pressurizes the system good and the air buzzer stays off all day...
How about using the Wal Mart brand SUPERTECH 80W-90 GL-5 Gear Lubricant for the diffs, tranny and transfer case? Amongst other things, on the bottle is written, "Protects against rust, foam, high temperature and corrosion of copper or bronze bushings." Sounds like this GL-5 is designed for...
Thank You for the info General. I called Napa and Carquest. They crossed the FD-3087 number you gave me. Their part numbers and prices where I live are as follows:
NAPA 4419 $37
Carquest EW4419 $56
I can get the wheel cylinder for around $25 at one of the aftermarket military part houses.
Hey Guys,
I called one of the military aftermarket parts companies asking for the NAPA part number for the deuce wheel cylinder. Part number given was 4419. I checked the bendix site and came up with the following aftermarket part numbers. Not sure if they are correct though because there...
If I get my M109A3 in time, I'll be there. Just one question though. Is there enough height clearance on most of the trails at Richloam to clear an M109A3?
Hi, if I don't manage to get the brakes fixed (pedal goes to the floor) before my EUC clears (hopefully before the GA Rally), I will need to have the truck transported. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Sorry to hear that happened to you Ray! It was good that you weren't far from home. I'll make sure to check the pump on my M109A3. What percentage of WMO and gas did you run this past weekend?

Hi Ozzy. I'll probably wait about a month then contact DLA to see if there's anything I can do to assist in expediting the paperwork. There's some good info at this link about that.

I drove Ray's Deuce yesterday. Thanks for letting me drive your Deuce Ray! My son and I are hooked on these trucks now! There's no turning back. Very nice truck Ray, nice job on the exhaust! The truck ran great and my son Tyler had a great time both riding in the truck and standing in the...
Nice try Recovry4x4! I'll keep these tires! They are practically new. This is the first M109A3 I've seen without the NDT's (at least in the couple of weeks I've been looking). Yes, it was a GL purchase. I'm waiting on my paperwork to clear and getting the brakes fixed before I drive it home...
