    M38/GPW wannabe!

    Looks like you got your work cut out for you! I'm jealous--I've always wanted an early CJ or an MB to play with. Remember--it doesn't have to be running to be at the rally (of course, this is coming from a member of the GA bunch that has been notably delinquent at the GA rally). If anything...

    What are safe speeds to engage the front axel?

    Now I'm curious... does anyone know where in the TMs (if anywhere) it deals with proper usage of the front axle? Two of us have struck out...

    What are safe speeds to engage the front axel?

    I'm leaving for lunch now, but somebody please post a screenshot of the -10 Operator's Manual where it deals with engaging the front axle, so we can get the official word instead of a bunch of folks's interpretations of the TM. (Even though most of them are mostly correct.)

    What engine?

    Your best bet is to do google image searches for things like "Multifuel" and "LDT 465" or "M35A2 engine" and to also poke around here for pictures of folks's motors in their trucks and do a visual comparison to see which looks most like your engine. Chances are it's just a good ole LDT-465-1C/D....

    100 mile road trip

    As long as it's up in the 30-40 range when running at speed, you're good.

    is all deuces hard to get in second gear

    The only reason to float the gears in a deuce and a half is if you have a transmission with badly worn synchromesh. Even then it is likely better to double-clutch rather than just float.

    Does anyone have a 3d CADD CAD model of the Deuce?

    After classes end, I'll have to see what I can whip up between either Solidworks 2010 or Inventor 2012... this could be a dangerously fun diversion.

    is all deuces hard to get in second gear

    My truck has a pretty close to brand new transmission in it, and it sure is picky about going into second gear. I usually have to slip the clutch a little bit a couple of times before it will go into gear. If I'm planning to start in second, I slip it in to gear right before coming to a stop...

    Deuce smoke video, do I need to turn my fuel down?

    Rarely get above 2200 RPM? Dang! You need to get out on the highway some.

    Deuce smoke video, do I need to turn my fuel down?

    I'm assuming the truck was operating at or above 180° (operating temp) in both of those videos... Based on the second part of the video, your fuel is adjusted to dump a LOT of fuel into the cylinders, based on the copious amounts of black smoke and the fact that you were able to accelerate as...

    How do I get a 6BT Cummins started after it has been sitting for a while?

    The 4bt yahoo group here has the cummins manuals where you can download them in .pdf. They cover both the 4- and 6B series.

    How do I get a 6BT Cummins started after it has been sitting for a while?

    There should be some sort of tag on it. You should also check out 4btswaps.com. They'll have plenty of cummins techs over there.

    Deuce brake problems

    I just poked my nose in the troubleshooting manual, and it looks like you'll get a lot of help out of the brake section. For the Deuce, the Organizational-Level troubleshooting manual is TM9-2320-209-20-2, sections 1 and 2. The brakes are in section 2. You can download these and the...
