First, my quick saab story.... Out of work early, I'm all set to go for a drive to nowhere. I've got about a hundred and twenty mile loop planned out. I seldom get to do stuff like this... I took the top off and everything before I did my pre trip, and the ONLY reason I looked underneath...

I've seen a lot pf pictures of deuces (and five tons) from Viet Nam with highway steer tires on the front instead of NDTs. More on gun trucks, but I suspect that is because I've seen a lot more pictures posted of gun trucks here than "regular" task vehicles. I know why it would make sense...

It seems that my worm brake is getting crazy hot in a very short period of operation... So like any good redneck, I took it all apart... Nothing appears wrong, so then I went to the manual.... According to 9-2320-209-34-2-3 it was not installed correctly before I took it apart. So I put it...

It seems that the mice have chewed a hole in my exhaust pipe...:cry: Or something like that. I need the 45 degree elbow from the turbo outlet. I don't see one online, but I'm sure the big vendors have got them. Before I start calling on Tuesday, does anybody have a good condition one they'd...

So, first off I'm working slowly on making a yellow bridge plate from a subdued one. I painted it with Plasti-Kote School Bus Yellow, on top of the matching and recommended plasti-kote primer. That was four weeks ago today... Today I got back to it. I can touch the pieces just fine. If I...

Well, since my accountant says that I can't have the proper heater for my deuce (yet...) I have decided to install the essentials of an M151 kit. Last summer, the lack of a defroster on cool mornings cost me some seat time. Installation was easy, but my question is about where to steal the...

I seem to have an ongoing issue. When I hit the starter button, it almost always works just as it should. Now and then I get a "click". Not a "clunk" like a starter failure, but a definate "click" out in the engine bay. Trouble is, it's terribly intermittant, and releasing the starter...

So, I'm moving my deuce stuff into the back of the deuce so I'll have a little room in the basement this winter. I was so good. I got out three times to check each time I backed the deuce up to the hill to make sure it was just where I wanted it. But I was taking stuff around the house with...

I've managed to find several posts with tips on how to install the weather strip, but I can't seem to find anything here or in the TM that suggests what direction they are installed. I put them in with the "extra lip" facing out, just as the originals were removed. But they seem very very...

I'm just wondering about a couple of things. There's two bolt holes just in front of the driver's door, I'm wondering what would have attached there. There are no matching ones on the passenger side. There's two holes in the bumper, I'm also wondering what those might be for. There's a data...

I've decided that I'm going to "unlock" one of my rear axles. I've found hubs, but I'm having a hard time finding the double splined axle. Are these in stock somewhere or do I need to have them made. (I did find the dimensions on this site). Are there kits out there from a single supplier?

I searched all over and found others with this issue, but no good solutions besides carrying the radiator to a shop, or cutting the tube and using hose and/or a new tube. It was bad enough that I couldn't push through with a coat hanger wire, and obviously when the coat hanger doesn't work, it...

A couple of quick questions, as I believe that tomorrow will finally be an opportunity for me to tinker a bit with my oil and coolant leaks. First question- at a generous 1/8 inch, maybe 3/16 under the full mark on the dipstick (after sitting for some time) can I squeak all of the oil into a...

When I parked this a week ago, there was only oil... :? Last tuesday(ish) I put the tarps over it and for grins checked the fluids. Coolant was down. No biggie, I just dumped in a couple of gallons, found a loose clamp, blamed it on that, and planned on a flush with more appropriate...

Hello to all. I'm a little new to this whole MV thing, and I can't figure out why, but somehow I've decided that it might be a good idea to have a deuce (more than I'll ever need) or a five ton truck (bigger is better, but again I don't know why). I'm sure some of you can relate. I hope I'm...
