I stand corrected, the blue & white "Hysterical" plate IS valid for ten years, not 5 as I stated. I hear you on the past registration issue, but "proof of purchase is not proof of ownership"? At least I got out of paying the surity bond! Yes, it was a hassle for a while, especially with not...

$8855 for a DEUCE! Somebody is WAY out of thier mind, unless there was some way to certify that was the ORIGINAL mileage and hours, which I somehow doubt. Jason - with the way GL auction prices are going, it sounds like you got an OK deal!

I think the high prices at SANG are driven by a lot of nuts like us bidding on the very few trucks they have on sale there. Prices in Columbus OH and Ft Riley KS were not too bad, but again you have the cost of getting it home. BTW, one of the regulars on this forum, I think it was Chuck Graham...

I have a minor problem with my speedometer. When I drove it home from the DRMO in March, it worked fine. Speed up, the speedo read higher, slow down, the speedo read lower. Then the truck basically sat in the driveway until last week, when the State finally worked out my licensing and titling...

Bustoff - I just went through the process of buying Deuce at SANG, I'll give you my details & you can go from there. The GL rep at SANG is OK, good person to talk to, but I don't believe that trucks are his strong point so don't expect any more information from him than what is listed in the...

I have downloaded TM 9-2815-204-35, Field & Depot Maint LDS-427-2 Engine; and TM 9-2815-204-34P, Direct & General Suppport Parts & Tools List LDS-427-2 Engine, from the LOGSA website. I could not find TM9 2815-210-35. I tried to upload the two manuals I found to the TM section but could not get...

Bjorn - Thanks!

I bought my Deuce, listed as "Running Contition Unknown" sight unseen through GL. The GL listing pictures showed a decent looking truck, it had troop seats, near new tires (the spare has never been on the ground!), air shift front axle, and 16k miles on the odometer. I bought strictly on my gut...

Bjorn - Interesting thought, a turn signal buzzer. After decades of being accustomed to self canceling directions signals, I have been known to drive for a considerable distance with my turn signal still flashing after making a turn. Which wire did you tap into for your buzzer, and what do you...

I believe the proper ones for a Deuce have a 1" hole for the Deuce shackle pin and a 3/4" hole for smaller vehicles up to 3/4 ton. If you do a search for "towbar" there are lots of posts on the subject. here is a couple that may help...

I solved my problem, it was apparently a bad ground to the steering column. My directional signal switch is fastened to the column with a big radiator hose clamp. I disconnected the wiring harness, removed the switch, wire brushed the grounding contacts on the underside of the switch and the...

Try Gulfway Insurance, I believe they are in Florida, phone #(800) 940-5010 or email gulfway@gte.net. Thier rates seem pretty reasonable and I do not believe they have any restrictions on usage. Gulfway specializes in collector and race car insurance. By way of an example, my insurance...

Fuel leak into the cylinders via the fuel injection system? Highly unlikely. Fuel leak into the cylinders via the manifold heater system? Possible, if the flame heater system is leaking, as Bjorn noted. The more common cause of hydrostatic lock is coolant leaking into the cylinders. The early...

That, and buying from a private party you get to see the truck running and can drive it. Many of the GL auctions are "running condition unknown", when you look at the truck it may have dead or missing batteries and you have no way to start it, so you are buying a pig in a poke. Unless there is...

Yes, the rocker arms do need to be adjusted occasionally, but I don't know of a specific interval. The procedure and specifications are given in TM 9-2320-316-34 which you can find at http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?module=pagesetter&type=file&func=get&tid=1&fid=file&pid=76

The Joe Young solution is far simpler and easier solution that what I was planning, plus it looks like it was original equipment!. I bought a Grote license plate bracket and license plate light at my local auto parts store - both plastic, don't need to worry about rust, just need to paint both...

I noticed an oddity with my directional signals the other day. In order to get it registered, I needed to have a LEO do a vehicle equipment check. He was doing the inspection, checking the front lights & directional signals with the engine running, signals were working fine. He moved to the...

Here's a picture from another thread where you can see the gun ringmount leg going down into the mounting tube by the passenger's door - but I do believe convoy flags are usually mounted in that tube as well ---

Here is the link to Air-O-Matic. I don't have it, most of my driving is rural on-road so it is not much of an issue for me. Given the choice, I'd go with locking hubs BEFORE power steering, improve fuel economy and reduce steering effort at half the cost of Air-O-Matic. Also consider flipping...

You need air pressure to engage the front axle drive. When you flip the air shift front drive switch to "On" position it sends air to the T-case to engage the front drive; it "Off" position the air is bled off to disenegage the front drive. Shifting the T-case between L-N-H is purely...
