In both the -209 and -361 series of TMs, the procedure for changing the fuel filters elements is to disconect the fuel lines, remove the fuel filter cannister heads and cannisters from the vehicle as an assembly and then remove the cannisters from the heads and replace the filter elements on a...

Isn't that tube also used for mounting convoy flags?

Any suggestions on what to use for a license plate light for my Deuce? Michigan requires them, so I guess I need to install one. I'm planning on mounting the license plate on the left mudflap, as high up as I can get it and still be legible to the rear (MI only requires one license plate). I'm...

I used "hobbyist" and my EUC went through in about two weeks.

Chuck - The wife didn't have much choice. I had no one else to go with me to pick the truck up, if she didn't go I would have had to leave her car there! SANG is neat, when I picked my Deuce up it was parked next to a M819 (?) wrecker, couple of dump trucks & lots of Deuces there. Don't know if...

Is there any way to check the Clutch Disk/Pressure Plate on a Deuce short of pulling the tranny? My Deuce only has 15k miles since rebuild, so I guess that I am OK, but it would be nice to know BEFORE the disk wears out. Can the disk be checked, or is this just a case of when it starts to slip...

Mike, Rick, Katch1 - I agree, in the early 70s when I drove Deuces for the ARNG, most of the time we started in 2nd gear, but in this truck starting in 1st gear feels like starting in 2nd gear on the old days. Starting this truck moving in 2nd would take WAY too much clutch slip for me to be...

Anyone out there can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I read in one of the -20 or -34 TMs the special tool is only needed for the head bolts which are underneath the rocker arm shaft with the rocker arm shaft installed. I THINK if you remove the rocker arm shaft, you can torque those bolts...

Congrats. Sounds like you got a great deal for a running M275A1, even if it needs some brake work. Brake parts are cheap compared to driveline stuff!

How durable is the Deuce transfer case if shifted "on the go" frequently? My Deuce seems a little cranky starting out in 1st or reverse, it seems to want a little more throttle and clutch slip to get underway than I like. Not a big problem most of the time, except when I'm in a close-in...

Hey Rizzo - How big is that wrecker anyhow? It makes your John Deere Tractor-Loader (in front of the wrecker's front bumper) look TINY!

I also have my exhaust pipe stack rotated about 45 degrees to the rear. Haven't had it out on the road since I moved it, still waiting on my historical plate approval. I did spend some time driving it to compact the soil where I will be building a barn, and it did seem quieter than before...

Excellent - Thanks Ken, thanks Bjorn!

According to TM 9-2320-361-20, the LDT 465-1C/1D engine is 800-850 RPM. However, I have to pull out my throttle control 4-5 clicks in order to get a warm idle speed of 800 RPM. How is the idle speed adjusted? I've searched through all the -209 and -361 series level 20 and 34 manuals and the...

Ditto on the double check with a mechanical oil pressure guage. When I brought my Deuce home the guage was acting screwy, showing low pressure, high oil pressure, sticking etc. With only 15k miles on the engine since rebuild, I suspected oil pressure was NOT the problem. So my first step was to...

My Deuce, which I picked up from the DRMO last month, came with a solargizer installed. The solar panel is glued to the cowl just in front of the windshield. I don't know if it works, nor do I know how to check if it is working. Anyone know how to tell if a Solargizer is working properly? BTW...

Negative, I expected to find all nine digits but all I could see were the last five.

Go to the Interstate battery website & use the dealer locator to find as many dealers in your area as you can. I've seen postings from people who bought Interstate 6TLs running from $79.95 to $170. My nearest dealer wants $100, I'm going to call all the dealers in my area to see who has the best...

Westech - What brand name/color number is the brown paint you got from Menard's?
