    Airpack modification for towing

    You can use the glanhands only when towing a 5-ton that has the front gladhands. Airline goes from service gladhand on towing truck-- airpack on towed truck. No need to plug other end of j-pipe. Dennis

    1970 Deuce restored ,with a 7041 spicer aux gear box

    RE: 1970 Duce restored ,with a 7041 spicer aux gear box How you like the OD box? Does the driveshaft to the first back axle have enough travel for off-road? Looks really nice on the paint.

    Deuce brakes

    Had to remove the plugs off the master cyl to pull it before. But I did something different last time,and didn't have to pull plugs. Darn if I can remember what. And you towed how many trucks with the 109!?

    LONG & SLOW! VA to Ft Drum, NY & Back

    Did the long haul towing a M108 with a deuce. And it was in hilly PA, was down to 10 mph... Glad you made it, the 109 looks really nice.

    RE: Re: RE: cont... I think the truck was a photo lab truck, and this is one of two known. Could be wrong, my memory isn't that good.

    RE: cont... Looks like a really nice truck. Any interior pics? Is this the truck Doyle was talking about, being converted to a camper?

    what would cause this failure of a crank?

    I think the circular marks are from when it broke, and was rubbing against the other part of the crankshaft. The pogo comment was a complete waste of space.

    Brought my M109A3 home today!

    I don't know if all the tach's measure hours at the same rpm. It was printed on the back of mine.

    Brought my M109A3 home today!

    On the hour meter, it is set to measure a hour at 2000 rpm. So if your running 1000 rpm, it counts 1/2 speed. (1 hour 1000rpm=1/2 hour on tach) So really the hour meter is a RPM counter. 2000X60Xnumber of hours on tach is how many times your engine has turned. Dennis

    M35a2 DUMPBED PICS!

    4800!? I've got about 800 in mine, and some on here have one for less. 500 at the junkyard for the hoist/pump/hinge off a grain truck, 220 for the correct PTO, 80 in hoses and fluid. Sure it took a week of work to install it, but looks like I made 4000 that week! :D You can put a double...

    Truck dieing, now won't start

    Don't bother adjusting anything yet. Open the bleeder on the top of the secondary filters and make sure you have fuel coming out. If not, check for clogged filters/intake pump running. I think I had to adjust the low idle setting after turning up the fuel, but wasn't much and didn't keep the...

    Book on Deuce?

    I have David's book on military vehicles. Did he write one specific to the M35/M44 chassis? Just went and refreshed my memory on Doyle's book. Forgot just how much information is there. Would love to see larger/multiple/color photo's of the various trucks.

    Book on Deuce?

    Does that book cover all the variants? M109, m48, m108, and a dozen others. Any modifications or repairs covered? What is in the jeep bible book? Would that format work?

    Book on Deuce?

    What about a book on the Deuce... I'm thinking not so much a tech or history manuel, but combination of both. Or even two books, one a rewritten TM, to make it easier to understand, picks up where the TM's leave off, and have all the information in one book. The other could deal with the...
