Here's a couple of other sources from some previous postings: OTC #1903 for around $19.45 (most Auto Parts stores can order these); at one time David Kelone was selling them for $10. His website is www.militarymules.com, I don't see them listed in the website, I'll send him an email and see if...

According to Joshua Ticknell in "From the Fryer to the Fuel Tank", "Polyethylene cannot withstand temperatures above 140 degrees F (60 degrees C)". Quoted without permission of the author. US Plastic Corp rates thier medium density polyethylene tanks for working temperatures up to 140 degrees F.

Nice, but the hard part of the equation is the "known grade". Bjorn - any links for a dash mounted gradometer/inclinometer? I've seen pics of them but have no idea where to find one. Seems like a neat thing to have, especially for a frequent off-roader. And what engine PRM would you suggest...

I'll keep doing it until I need a wig Actually, you are both right. If you could come up with a remote filter adapter using spin on filters mounted the RIGHT way, threaded side up, then you would have something. Filters that seal properly the first time, don't drip oil all over the engine when...

Great "injunuity" there Joel! What brand of breaker bar do you use? I broke two MTI 18" breaker bars (with about 12" of extension). Finally took my Deuce to a truck shop, they used a 1" impact to get the d**n thing off!

Trango could probably give you his specifics, but I'll shoot from the hip and give you a few points to ponder. First off, what is the safe max operating RPM of the engine you want to install? If for example you pick an engine with a normal operating speed of say 3000-3200 RPM you instantly gain...

Hi Bigmech. Nice to see another MVer that is "kinda almost" a neighbor (well, maybe 200 miles is streching the point a bit, but...". I'll go along with Saturn, Memphis, TNJ Murray for most parts. Check out the filter interchange list at...

How about door/window seals? No 1/2" gaps at the top & rear of the side windows?

Boy, things have been slow on this forum lately! Ran across the following recently and thought it would be some good info. Both are from B100 Supply, the first is a kit B100 is selling to test the quality of your finished Biodiesel. At $5/test I wouldn't want to use it on every batch, but it...

I got a quote from Gulfway for $340/yr; nice thing about them is they don't care how much driving you do. I have State Farm now, $170/yr but you have to TELL them you want "Classic Vehicle" insurance. Haven't got the policy yet so I don't know the fine print on mileage/use restrictions. Both...

The frame VIN (or serial number, in my case) is on the left frame rail just in front of the front axle. See attached pic. The bonds aren't all that expensive. Here in MI it would have cost me $86 for a truck that I paid $2750 to GL. The bond is required only on vehicles valued over $2500, but...

Got an Arctic grill cover for my Deuce (need one here in Western Michigan - gets cold and stays cold a good part of the winter!) and looked at the installation instuctions in the TM section. Only problem, the instuctions go into great detail on installing the attaching hooks (I don't need them...

The tube on the passenger's door was for mounting the MG ring mount, also for mounting convoy flags. Here is a pic from an earlier posting showing the MG ring mount on a deuce in Iraq.

Ken - Is there any way we could get a copy of the MV magazine article scanned and put into the Technical Articles section, or maybe get DD to post his original work there? Is seems like every week there is a new posting from someone trying to figure out the MY of thier Deuce, this would be a...

Jatonka, What are REB kits? I frequently see them mentioned in various posts, but haven't been around here long enough to know what they are. Please explain, thanks!

Eric, I've got to go with Bjorn and Ken on this one. The OP guage on my truck are recieved from the DRMO was giving me all sorts of screwy readings. No oil pressure, normal oil pressure, peg at 120 PSI and stay there. On several occasions, with the truck not running and the accy switch off the...

I'd like to hear more about that CAT starter? Is that as in Caterpillar Tractor? How about some pics of the starter. Was it a bolt in or does it look like it was adapted? Any part numbers on the starter?

Thanks Ryan. I knew the additives in the newer oils were a problem, but did not know the specific reason. Now we all know!

The problem with gear oils in older military trucks is that when these trucks were designed the standard commercial gear oils were identified by the commercial spec GL-1. The military spec MT-1 was based on the then current GL-1 commercial spec. As civillian technology advanced, higher...
