    How to detemine year of deuce?

    Correct, the SF97 process is garbage in, garbage out. As has been put on many times before on many different threads.... Registration numbers, while unique to a vehicle, can on very rare occasions be changed. Serial numbers cannot. There is no civilian equivalent to a military...

    How to detemine year of deuce?

    Chuck, You are correct in you assumption on the frames. Contract dates are just that, date of contract, not of build. Others, A registration number is not a VIN nor any part of the VIN. Folks are getting steered into thinking this with the end result being they will title and register...

    CX-10613/G cable needed

    These are in short supply. If you are looking at a supplier, all you really need is the plug that physically attaches to the back of the MX7777. The bezel ring with the 3 prongs inside is cut off anyway so as to allow you to attach the cable to the battery. The wire should be fairly common.

    Why are the GL Deuces from Texas so beat?

    No. Recruits rarely, if ever, get their military drivers license until they get to their first duty assignment. At this point, the vehicles are just getting old and the fact the training units don't have the maintenance support a field unit would have. The base motorpool probably does anyting...
