Ken, I can't agree more, I live for winter. Here where I live in Michigan, we have snow on the ground from early November to mid March. Being near the west coast of MI, we get to enjoy "lake effect" snow. This occurs when the winds come out of the west , which is typical for here. The dry air...

OK, here are three prior threads, three different but similar answers. Your choice! http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=5242 http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=2393...

I like the open windshield - makes a good snow visor!

Duneland, of course. I'll drive the Deuce over when I'm ready to purchase some. Still have to do the 1 liter & HEET experiment, it was scheduled for this weekend, cancelled due to lack of a Dr. Pepper bottle!

Bjorn, you are just awesome. That fuel line is just too much! I would never have thought of doing like that.

Still looking for a source of methanol? Try Torco Racing Fuels, they distribute methanol along with high octane gasoline. Don't know how regional they are but I found three dealers within about a one hour drive of my LZ who carry methanol, two by the gallon, one by 55 gal drums. Price ranged...

Seek, and ye shall receive! A 5 GPM, 24 VDC pump at Surplus Center for $49.95 (If you consider WVO to be a "light lubricating oil"). Will this work for you? http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?UID=2006060317545764&item=2-1264&catname= They also have a 5 GPM, 12 VDC pump for the same price...

We are getting well off Loose Deuces' topic, but I recently put a 3-1/2" dia. Car Chemistry Collector Insert (designed for race/drag strip cars, inserts into the header collector to reduce exhaust noise) in my top stack, it made a significant improvement. I just bought a sound level meter, once...

You may not have a problem. I recall reading that certain gaskets were made with weep channels leading to the outside of the head to allow trapped between the head and block to escape. I don't recall the source for certain, but I think it was a PS magazine article. Perhaps someone like Bjorn...

Squirt truck, it sounds like you have the "new" gaskets. As best I can recall, the newest version had vents and separate fire rings (although I think the first generation gaskets had separate fire rings also). And yes, you do have to retorque after a few hours of operation; one of the TMs also...

Thanks all for the kind words. My Deuce is still "Work in Progress", it is going to be a driver, not a show truck (by my choice,it is VERY solid, mechanically excellent, only minor cosmetic rust, could be made into a great show truck but that is not what I bought it for).

I can trade you some dropside corners and/or bows if it helps. My truck in not a dropside, but I have 8 dropside corners and 3 dropside bows. The dropside parts don't do anything for me except saving me 6 corner bolts on the dropside bows, and I have plenty of corner bolts! Let me know if you...

Heating might help loosen whatever crud is holding the valve to the tank. Propane is not the best, but if it is all you have it won't hurt and might help. You said the valves are brass - so heat the neck of the tank, not the valves, until the VALVE gets as hot as you can get it. Then cool the...

When I installed the quick release drain valves on my Deuce, the old valves were pretty hard to get out. It appears they used some type of sealer which hardened up, not Teflon tape. It took quite a bit of muscle to get the old valves out. One thing I did notice is my QR valves (OE AM General...

I finally got my new (to me) 3 color camo vinyl cargo cover installed! It is not an actual Deuce cover, it is for a LMTV 2 1/2 ton military truck and is about 6"-12" too long for the Deuce. I installed it with the rear if the cover where it should be and pulled the excess cover down over the...

Here is the primary fuel filter info, 1/2 page at a time. While I have spent quite a while posting this info, it has been a very worthwhile learning experience for me, figuring out how to get PDF images into a legible JPG format to post in this forum!

Here it is one more time, I did 1/2 of each page at a time to make them more easily readable. Here is the secondary-final filter info, it won't let me add any more images to this reply so I will do the primary filter in another reply.

Here are full page pictures of the fuel filter installation and instructions. You might have to copy the images to your hard drive as JPG files and then open the copies in Photo Editor to enlarge them enough to read them easily.

You can download 9-2320-361-20, M35A2 Unit Maintenance from the Technical manuals section. It has detailed instructions with illustrations so you can get it right. Paragraph 3-28 covers the primary filter, parts as installed from the bottom up are : washer, spring, washer, gasket, cup (cone...

Dropside bows and bow corners are the same length for both dropside and non dropside beds. The only difference is the pins on the dropside bows and the latches and missing upper weld nuts on the dropside corners. I have (by accident, not by choice) three dropside bows, two non dropside bows, two...
