I love driving my Deuce - except in the rain, my cab leaks like a sieve. I think I'd stay dryer in the rain with the top off and windshield folded down! I have all the usual gaps between the windshields and windshield frame, and the side windows and window frames. I plan on installing new...

Ernie - DON'T bypass the FDC, there is no need to do so unless it is leaking fuel into the engine oil. Leave it connected in case you need to run fuel other than straight #2 diesel. Like in Northern Minnesota, when you need to run #1 diesel in the winter to keep your fuel from gelling. The FDC...

RE: YES,There IS (maybe) a Deuce Spin On Filter Adapter I got all the dimensions off the Baldwin site, all were either 4-11/16" or 4-21/32" in diameter, a difference which don't amount to a pee hole in the snow as far as I am concerned. The must have some pretty sophisticated measuring...

Well, my airpack has a one piece drawn body and rear, no drain plug. The only part bolted together is the front end. I have a yellow sticker on my glovebox door which states "Notice - This Vehicle Equipped With The Latest TARCOM Approved Airpak Assy". Of course, it was rebuilt at Tooele in 1989...

I can use an EMPTY gauge panel, no gauges or other parts except the Dzus fasteners and maybe one gauge light, if you want to part it out.

Well don't get too excited just yet. I'm still trying to find out if the OB1313 adapter is an exact fit, or just a close fit. If is a close fit, chances are some minor machining of the adapter bushing will make it work. Then there is the problem of finding an anti drain back filter. IMHO, the...

ah1955 - I've done a bit of searching on the Baldwin web site (I like Baldwin filters too). From what I've found, the OB1303 adapter will accept Baldwin fitler #s B95, B95-MPG, B96, B96-MPG, B105, B196, B196-MPG and B205. Can you find out if any of these filters are anti drain back filters so...

Electric wipers! Criminey, what are you guys thinking of? The military has used air wipers for about 80 years now and I've never heard a single complaint about them (except the wiper blades suck, but that is easy to remedy)! Whats next? A fully insulated, sound proofed cab? Power steering? Air...

Very nice looking truck! Vinyl cover (but you need to hook up the bungee cord to the rearmost tie-down hook), hardtop, I assume troop seats, cargo tie downs inside the bed, paint doesn't even look too bad. The photo doesn't show it from the right side, maybe you got lucky and have a personnel...

ah1955 - I guess great minds think alike. I'm surprised no one else has jumped in on this topic yet. There was a lot of discussion a while back about how to mount a spin on filter to the Deuce. Guys were trying how to figure out how to custom machine a fitting to replace the stock cannister rod...

For all of you out there looking to install spin on oil filters on their Deuces, I have found a ray of hope for you! In my quest to find a way to adapt the Amsoil BMK-13 full flow/bypass remote filter kit to my Deuce (posted at...

Sparkylisle, I understand your question. What I don't understand is why bother? The FDC is set up to run perfectly fine to design specifications on #2 diesel as is with the FDC connected. If you bypass the FDC it will not be able to adjust the fuel delivery to compensate if for some reason you...

Cabell - I have been using the dipstick method since I got my Deuce in February. Even calibrated it in gallons, taking into consideration that the truck runs out of fuel with 10 gallons still left in the tank. I guess the military decided to mount the pump pickup about 2" above the bottom of the...

Interesting thought. If I can get the Oliver filter adapters and mate them to the Amsoil remote unit that would work great. I'll have to look into that. Thanks!

If you can only afford one gauge, make it a pyrometer (aka EGT gauge). This is the only add-on gauge that will tell you when you are getting into the range of doing damage to your engine. Expect to spend $125 to $175 for the pyrometer, high temp Inconel thermocouple, and lead wires. The ISSPRO...

If you don't have a 24 V military vehicle, go out there with your 12 volt civvie vehicle and a second, fully charged 12 v battery, the bigger the better, and two sets of HD battery cables. Check the engine oil, then jumper each of the batteries in the Deuce with one of the 12V batteries and try...

Not all coolants are created equal. If you can find an extended life antifreeze marked for heavy duty diesel use with the SCAs included, by all means use it. Do NOT use ELCs designed for gas engines (the red stuff) - it is BAD for diesels. I don't understand the chemistry involved, you would...

I have one half of a yard stick under the seat also. I even calibrated it in gallons and then varnished it so I can get stick the tank and know exactly how much fuel I have left. I did check, clean and recheck the fuel tank ground. I even used an ohmmeter to check the sender, forgot the exact...

Well I am a certiified FF II and paramedic to boot. Just too far from the local FD to be effective.

Fuel Gauge Dagnostic Problem -HELP My fuel gauge has never read properly since I got it from the DRMO. Regardless of how much fuel in the tank, it always measured between 1/2 and full on the gauge, which I know is wrong since I can't afford to fill the tank and generally run between 1/4 and 1/2...
