1. no I haven't read the entire manual, haven't had the time. However I have read parts of the online pdf manual. But its much harder to sift through a pdf file on the screen then it is an actual paper book. And yes I will get a hard copy/printed paper copy. 2. Nothing like asking around and...

That's true, we were actually just working on it today as the valve was froze up and wouldn't turn. So I took it off, cleaned it out, and soaked it in WD-40, and clamped it in a vise and finally got it to turn with a pair of pliers. After working it a bit, it opens and closes by hand now, but...

Yeah I know they're tube tires, and that was the only one that kept going flat on the recovery trip home. It was sometime during the last 150 miles that the tire valve disappeared, probably pulled inside the rim if I had to guess. I'm going to get two new tires for the front anyway, and I'm...

Yeah, you're right. It should be water proof as that is their business isn't it. I think we're going to do the same thing, look for a boat cover shop and see if they can section ours to length. And yes, ours is a one piece cover. And you're right about just having them to take out a section and...

Now I know what that whatch-a-ma-call-it bracket was for :D Thanks! Good idea of putting a 2nd fuel tank there. I'm thinking of mounting one in the bed, along with a 2nd spare tire... if I find another deuce rim somewhere. Thats not a bad price! Might have to call around here and see if I can...

Hey Guys, It's Me Again... Just thought I would post a few things that we've been doing to the deuce. Yesterday we fabed up a replacement seal for the steering column. And yeah I know some of you might laugh, but I really didn't like the original replacement one's, and the only thing left of...

We don't have any big truck shops near us here unfortunately, as that would be nice for a few things on the deuce. I know it costs a few $'s more for the entire shoe kit from saturn surplus, but it doesn't require a trip out of town. As far as the cable goes, you are probably right, it may just...

Oh, and where did you get the new instrument panel id labels?

Hi, Great Looking setup Darwin! On the Dash Lights, where did you get your colored replacement light covers??? I need some of those as mine were painted over, and they need replacing. Thanks!!!

Yeah it's not a bad truck, just needs some maintenance to get it back up to level. I'll try to make updated posts as we go along. Yeah, never saw that movie... but I do remember the title... just because I thought it sounded pretty dumb.

Yeah I meant to add the M36 after the 5 ton in my OP. I knew it was one of the two, but I wasn't sure if the 5 ton was wider or not. Thanks for the Clarification on what it fits! Sure, I'll send this Cover to you.... ...So long as you have a new 2 1/2 Ton Camo Cover to send me back :D

Thanks SPCWarning! I couldn't find another deuce that was Butterbean Green :D But I like the 3 color camo too.

Hi Everyone! Been studying this site for a while now, reading up on "How To" articles and tons of other information. This is our first MV's and could really use some input and help. We need to get these trucks back up to full condition as we are going to need them soon when we are moving to...

Has anyone compared the noise reduction ability between the Donaldson M070028 & The DynoMax 17224??

They make an insulated floor mat pre-fitted to the deuce? Or is it a mat that must be cut to fit? I had already been thinking in this direction, but it seems that the application of a bed liner or other type substance would have to go down on the metal floor first to prevent any moisture build...

Ok, I'll look for the Gillespie 24087 paint. Could use a little of that anyway in some other places and/or mods. Thanks!

Yeah, I'm going to add a flapper too. That way I don't have to remember the plastic coffee can :D

By the Way, Where did you get High Heat OD Paint?! Thanks!

Ok, now I got it. I'm going to be doing quite a bit of highway driving at times. And like you mentioned, the C-Turbo is loud. So I think this is where I'll start with my "sound deadening" quest and see how much I can do. Thanks!

If I can get a better muffler to fit by leaving the heat shield off, I'll go that route. What muffler do you use? Do you know what is the best muffler by function? Have a part #
