Here's what I did. I'm about 230 miles from where I bought my truck, went there in January to look at a couple they had, liked what I saw, put some bids in but the price got way too high for me. About a week later they listed another truck, "running condition unknown", the pics looked pretty...

Gerhard - The tranny is in the truck and I don't feel like pulling the floor pan and trans top off to count teeth. I thought maybe I could put the trans in 5th, transfer case in neutral, mark the harmonic balancer and trans output flange, then crank the engine over by hand for 100 revs and count...

Jim - try this link, it is what you are looking for: http://steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=2896

Bjorn - I've just got to have one of those boxes, want to monitor low air pressure, turn signal and E-brake engagement, looks exactly like what I've been looking for, along with a dash light to parallel the buzzer!

Bigmike - hang on to your atheletic supporter, it gets worse! You do NOT get a "bill of sale" from GL, after your EUC clears they send you a PDF "Invoice" which you print off by yourself. Mine did not even have the truck serial number listed, the GL rep woudn't sign my copy and blew me...

Put a jamb nut on that adjusting lock nut at the x-fer case end no matter what! I thought my lock nut was holding fine, it wasn't, kept randomly loosening and tightening, drove me crazy until I put a lockwasher and 5/16"-24 jamb nut to lock it in place, now it holds fine! BTW, my cable has...

Lance - Is your trans a 3043 or a 3053? I have an Spicer English built 3053 (not 3053A) trans in my Deuce, it is an OD 5th gear, but seems to be in the .71-.75 OD range, not .79 as in the standard 3053A. I hit approx 60 MPH (actual, as verified by GPS and a chase vehicle) at 2450 RPM with my...

Gerhard, I stand corrected. I was aware that the inner and outer races (cups) are the same and the bearings (cones) were different; I mistakenly assumed the difference was solely because of the different I.D.s of the cones. Hmmm - the inner bearings (larger I.D.) have 30% greater dynamic load...

Guys, I think you are making mountains out of ant hills. First off, the load is not uniformly distributed across a uniform span, it is concentrated at the edges of the span, i.e., the bearings. As long as the wheel offset (C/L of wheel) is somewheres between the bearings each bearing will still...

Those look pretty good, lots of connectors there to play with. I like the splitters too, they can be pretty handy at times. Saturn gets a buck each for connectors and I think two bucks for a splitter. Have you ever run across a 24V in line flasher, similar to what are used for the turn signal...

I had a few original bow corner bolts, they are 1-1/2" long, same as the new ones I bought. The new bolts worked fine on my bows, other than the finish you can't tell them from the original.

Has anyone ever seen/used a fan clutch for a Deuce? Any engine cooling fan is a major source of noise and a power hog as well, that is why most modern vehicles use either a clutching fan or an electric fan behind the radiator. As overcooled as most Deuces are, would it be practical to remove...

I was messing around under the dash of my truck yesterday installing a keyed ignition switch in place of the original accessory switch. I needed a way to connect the new switch to the original wiring. I didn't have any military wiring connectors, and no way was I going to cut and splice into the...

Thanks Gerhard & Jones. I assume then that the reverse idler gear shaft has a flat milled on it and is retained by that funky tab that sticks out on the left side of the countershaft rear bearing cover. I think I'll put a short bolt in the hole to protect the threads, I just hate the thought of...

Question 2, Nature of End User's Business, I put "Personal"; Question 3, Nature of Prinicipal's Business, I put "Hobbiest"; my EUC sailed through. Ditto Chuck's comments on the title companies, I've heard nothing but bad comments on them and the fee for big trucks is pretty steep. I've figured...

Of course, the first thing you could do is take off the J pipe that connects to the middle rear side of the air cylinder and shoot a couple of squirts of air tool oil, CLP or something similar in there. Reconnect the J pipe and drive it around a little bit; it just might need a little...

Ken, Mike - You had the answer! Crawled under the truck today, I could spin the cable adjusting lock nut freely by hand. I adjusted it again, then ran a lock washer and jamb nut down to the adjusting nut and wrenched it up tight. Everything else in the park brake system looks cool and properly...

I needed some bow corner bolts for my Deuce when I intalled my cargo cover. Rather than spending $1.00 each for milsurp I special ordered a box of new 5/16"-18 x 1-1/2" Phillips pan head screws. They are identical to the military ones except they have a bright finish. They cost me about $0.35...

I need four cargo cover tie down hooks like the one in the photo so I can properly tie down a modified LMTV cargo cover on my Deuce. If anyone has some they want to sell or otherwise dispose of, please PM or email me. TIA, Lee

Can anyone identify this valve and tell me what it is worth? It came in a box of misc parts I bought. It is a 3/4" pipe, spring loaded valve and seems to work fine. My best guess is that it is a water outlet valve from a water buffalo, but I'm open to more knowledgable suggestions. In any...
