Just purchased a set of steering 419 axles. I have a few questions I'm having a hard time getting any info on. Hoping you guys might be able to help. I've read the stickies and currently I'm going through the threads trying to gather info. Also I've tried Pirate but info and participation...

Im looking to purchase a set of 406 axles for a project. I have sourced the set i want. They don't come with the torque tubes or prop shafts however. I need those to make pinion conversions to use drive shafts similar to U.S. style trucks. Does anyone have a name or location for stated parts...

This being the first post in the 5ton section for me, my first question is about the winch on a 5ton truck. Is it the same as the winch on a deuce with a better shear pin, or is it a completely different assembly? I have had 3 deuces over the years and let them go because it was so much...

Im pulling the winch off the truck I have currently and want to know I get all the pieces that i would need for it to be a wanted item by other members. So far Ive removed winch bumper mount plates bumper extentions drive shaft pto on trans I feel Im forgetting something. Help me please

In all towing Ive done the tow vehicle has had an electric adjustable trailer brake module. This is a very simple design, and easy to use and set up based on load. My deuce has the air brake ports on the back of it for trailers. I did not understand how air brakes worked so i searched out...

Ive finally gotten the donor bus torn down enough to get excited about my deuce repower. 5.9 B series from a 1994 bluebird handy bus. Being as transmission would be the next part in line for forward progress, I need to know pros and cons of options i have. Also mounting availability. 1.)...

Quite a few conversations have been about getting more speed from the deuce, changing the tire size, engine rpm, and safety. The normal speed for all stock trucks seems to be aprox 48 to 52 MPH. This is at a engine speed of 2300RPM. Some people will "push" the engine to 2600RPM for that max at...

Just a couple of basic questions that i would like to ask your expertise about. First off please keep in mind i have never seen any of the military trailers in person. All my questions are based on assumptions i have about things i have read on this site. I believe the best candidate for my...

i want to purchase one of these minus wheels and axles but i am at a loss of what to search for. does it have a name? i know most of the parts names both issued and common, however as a whole i have nothing...

i have finally removed my transmission from my burnt multi and was surprised to see how little surface area the clutch plate actually has. with aprox measurements it has about the same area of my geo metro plate. the pressure plate has far more clamping force so i am only comparing area here...

looking at the 5 ton trucks that people have swapped 16-20s on and wonder how close to each other the tires on the rear actually are. the photos look as if there less than one inch apart. does anyone have an actual measurement? could chains be fitted or is it closer than clearance would...

have almost all the details worked out for my 16-20 conversion on my deuce. at first i was considering swapping the dog bones with that of a 5 ton for proper length. then i was told by multiple members that they are much larger. my brain thought how much larger could they be? well i went to...

I would say between members rides, mv shows and Google 80 percent of the deuces are green camo. The other combos I have seen are solid green or desert tan camo. My question: were any painted a different color factory? I don't know what color but would assume navy boat grey or a blue color...

is there a preferred or standard way to fold my cargo cover when its not in use? i have tried a few different variables on the folding but cannot seem to get it to any small size without the cover seeming like it will rip apart. thanks in advance Joe (with a giant mess of unfolded cargo cover)

i have a curiosity i cant seem to satisfy with google or the forklift. i have read all about the walking beam suspension style and cant find anything closer to what the deuce comes with stock. first is this the correct term for the suspension style? second i can not seem to gather how with no...

most of the larger stuff that is needed such as power plant items and maintenance items have multiple vendors with numerous positive feed back results. smaller and also not often needed items seem to escape my search. does anyone have a vendor or a contact on someone that may have spare parts...

how can i find the actual year of my deuce. i registered it as i wanted but would like to know the actual year of my vehicle

first i would like to ask what these bars are called. i have seen them mentioned as dog bones and also as torque rods which seem a more accurate description of the part. there is one on top and two on bottom of each rear axle coming from the center pivot out. second part is, is the 5 ton...

i have a few searches through threads and a few more in the TM section but no answer yet. does anyone have the listed spec of the compressor output in cfm at a given engine rpm?

while cruising through GL i noticed in bold red letters that some winch trucks are "hydraulic, not engine driven" stated as just that. i understand the basics of the differences but is one preferred over another? i have a pto that comes from the engine through a small drive shaft straight to the...
