Started the truck today for the first time in a few months. The compressor is making a bit of a racket. Sounds like belt squeel, but put some dressing on and didnt do anything for it. Little strange to appear from no where. Saw a few posts on tightening it, but wanted to see what else there...

Well its a long story, but last week we went to hop in the truck (after it was just running) and start it up when the starter would just spin, and not engage. Today we tore off the solenoid, checked it out (copper washer specifically), re-installed, and then yanked the whole starter assembly...

So i'm in the boat other confused Deuce owners (newbies) but had some thoughts on what others are doing in the world of 4x4's, wondering about their application to these 6x6's. I was out and about in the Deuce when I did what every responsible owner does and felt my hubs. The right rear...

Anyone with a quad cab out there that has experimented with a soft top from a jeep or CJ? It's a ways down the road for me personally, but doing my homework now.

Hey All, Took the big girl for her first ride down the interstate (slow lane, 45 all the way) and when I parked I figured it would be a good time to check the hubs to see how they felt. 5 cool ones, one very warm (not quite hot) one I found the TM on repacking bearings, but was curious...

I was cruising Amazon looking for some oil pumps for a filtration system I'm trying to piece together, when I came across this: Amazon.com: Spectre Performance 5971 Easy Access Oil Kit: Automotive Looks like its really a good way to get a start, for cheap! I just placed my order... will report...

First month into Deuce ownership and hopefully can contribute something useful! :idea: My oil pressure gauge was riding at 0 when I got it - knew it still had pressure since it made a 100 mile drive here with the previous owner. I traced everything from the sending unit and figured I'd start...

I've seen lots of posts on how these things can be a dog, especially on hills, but mine seems to really lose power around 1800 rpms. "falling on its face" is a bit of an over exaggeration, but it just feels like the torque curve plummets. Is this a natural "power band" on a standard 1970 D...

Hi All, Just one month into Deuce ownership and ready for a repair. I have a pesky air leak behind the dash - enough to hear it hissing at idle. The issue is worse when it has full pressure in the tank - dissipates around 60 PSI - definitely enough for a repair. I haven't identified the...

Hey all, New owner of a deuce. Wanted to get some info on something the previous owner let me in on.... Apparently the ilitaryndid a mass service update to deuces, and installed a different motor in mine specifically in the 90's. Part of this impacted the vehicle by taking away its multifuel...

I went into work one day and first words to a buddy/co-worker were "lets get a deuce and make it our corporate promo rig." His response: "I'm in!" We scoured CraigsList, Ebay, googled for dealers, etc etc, and settled on picking up one from a private seller on Ebay. His offer to drive it...

I just acquired my first Deuce this weekend. Its been a hoot so far, and looking forward to turning some wrenches on it as a project. Part of this is adding a 2nd Alternator for all the 12V goodies. I've researched extensively, and already placed an order with George (TM America) so no...
