    M35A3 (M109A4) disappearing air pressure

    Hey all, new M109A4 owner here. I'd like to share a problem I am having with you guys in hopes that I can track down the issue. My air pressure builds normally and pressurizes the CTIS system just fine. When I go to turn my wheel however, the air gauge drops to zero PSI and the buzzer and...

    Two Horns, One Button

    Finally got around to a mod I have wanted to do for a while. A few years ago I installed a Grover truck horn under the heater, worked pretty well but I had it rigged to manual valve with a pull cable that was prone to failure and freeze ups. Well I finally bought a 24V electric solenoid and got...

    Jacking up Deuce front end (from the frame)

    Just about to do my caster adjustment that is needed for the G177 swap but I've hit a bit of a road block. I need to jack the truck up high enough to allow the axle housing to hang so I can remove my spring perches. Problem is I can't seem to find an affordable pair of jack stands big enough...

    I'm going to get in trouble with this thing...

    So a friend gave me this old Fedral PA-20A siren. I have owned them before and they are fun, so I decided to install it in the Deuce. My main use for it is the PA function and music rebroadcast, the one wired to my CB just wasn't cutting it at 25 watts so I think this should do the trick...

    Botched Cargo Cover Repair

    I am so mad right now! aua In the spring I took my cargo cover out of storage only to find that a rodent had chewed a hole through the center of it. While I was angry at the time, the hole was not in the worst spot in the world so I dealt with it all summer. I should note here that I have a 3...

    Quick Blackout circuit question.

    Hey fellas, quick question about the blackout light system. I was demonstrating it for someone the other night and realized I could not get my front markers to turn on. My headlight and tail lights come on fine but could not get my B/O front markers to illuminate. The next day I opened the...

    General Mcgregor's Partial Restoration

    Hey Fellas! Well it's finally time, I start my 'partial restoration' today. My truck is really showing her age and is in dire need of a paint job. I have been researching the Behr paint jobs for the past two years and decided to give it a go. I already picked up my Wagner airless sprayer and...

    Deuce Light Rack Build

    Here's a project I've been wanting to do for a while, I have always wanted additional lighting on the truck and loved the idea of a light bar on the roof. I want something that looks military and will hold up to moderate and occasional off roading. I drew up a concept of the bar, I'll be...

    Deuce Stereo Installation

    Hey Fellas! Thought I would share the progress I'm making on my Stereo install. I am in the process of building a mount for a single DIN sized AM/FM/CD/MP3 player. The mount will also be used to hold either 3 toggle switches or two switches and a 12v plug, haven't decided yet. This will mount...

    A Visit to the Wright Museum

    Hey Fellas! Well if you're in the New England area right now you are probably like me, counting down the days until spring (unless you are one of those people who skis or something!). I'm hoping today to give us another reason to look forward to warmer days, an SS Convoy to the Wright Museum in...

    Strange electrical issue

    Hey fellas! Hoping for some answers on an issue I'm having with my electrical system. The other day I went to start my truck (it had been sitting for about two weeks). Turned on the master switch and got no air buzzer, hit the start button and got nothing. I charged up the batteries (thinking...

    Need to identify this generator

    Hey fellas! For the generator guys (because I'm not terribly familiar with them). I have a friend who recently lost his father, he has been placed with the responsibility of picking through his stuff and asked if I could identify this generator for him. He says his father thought it came from...

    M134 Minigun build.

    Hey fellas! Well it's been nearly 3 years since I bought my M66 ring mount but I still don't have a replica weapon to complete the setup. I have been looking at replicas on epay and other places that do 1:1 builds of famous weapons but holy $$$$!! I can't justify paying $1500 plus for a .50 cal...

    Battery Tray Restoration

    Hey fellas! Well I finally had enough of my rotted battery tray. The batteries were flopping around and the movement caused so much wear on the cable lugs that it started arcing when I went to start it. There wasn't enough material left to hook a ratchet strap or even a bungee cord! So this...

    Death of a Multifuel

    R.I.P My engine... This morning before dawn I was driving South on rte 16 in Rochester NH on my way to work. The truck was running great, I was in the middle lane (the right lane was an on ramp that became it's own lane) going 55 at 2500rpm. It was still very dark outside and the traffic on...

    Mysterious Oil Leak

    Hey Fellas! Well just finished an oil change on my Deuce about a week ago but today was the first time I had a chance to really take her for a ride. After the change I ran her for a bit to check for any leaks as well as drops in oil pressure, there were none that I could see (although it was...
