So, its been a while since I have posted here, life gets busy and all that fun stuff. For a bit of a recap, I had recently done an engine swap with a "good used takeout" last summer. I had stripped it down to the block and heads and put my external components on it. Long story short, I should...

I was debating whether to post this here or in the electrical section, but decided it was more fitting here. I have had a few issues with my taillights that were quite boggling. my right rear blinker was inop, the brake lights with the headlights were inop, with the brakes on and the left turn...

engine swap it runs! with video! So I have had the misfortune of blowing 3 turbo's in recent history... the first I attributed to turning the fuel up too much when I tried to adjust it without a pyrometer and cooked the poor little guy, it was seven different kinds of toast, gouges from...

On my way to work this morning I was on an uphill pull, nearing the top I shifted from 4th to 5th and within a few seconds heard a screetching bang that lasted all of about a split second, then no more turbo whistle... only turbo clinking, banging, and grinding. aua I pulled over, and shut her...

so, I have snapped my winch cable and have gotten to the point of removing the brass ferrule out of the hook cable end fitting for the winch... unfortunately in removal it became... well... impossible to reuse. That being said, anyone have a source on these? My search both on this site and...

so a few weeks ago, work for us in the airframe structures shop was dead. I knew I needed a new battery box as mine is nearly non existent due to rust. I also needed new steps as I had mangled mine while trying to go rock crawling in the deuce with my offroad club. Our LPO (Leading Petty...

I have been running around for a bit with a nice little noise that can best be described at the time as a carrier bearing going out. I had a friend who runs an offroad shop ride with me trying to help me pinpoint the source of the sound. Nearest we could figure is it was the transfer case. I had...

So a couple weeks ago I was talking to a few coworkers about how the rear suspension worked on the deuce. as we were standing next to the truck I had noticed that my leaf springs were farther away from the frame than they should have been by about a couple inches. I removed the dust cover to...

First off, this info is NOT classified. So, I am on DET, where I am at, what is going on, and what all is there is not of any concern, but I had the opportunity to see F-22's taxiing by then taking off at night. I dont know if anyone has seen the lights on these, but they are insanely trippy...

so, I was on a little road trip and wound up screaming down some old back roads. I got up to too much speed hitting a 25 mph corner a little fast, putting the deuce in a... well.. drift so to speak. After comming out of the corner I realized that the truck was pulling to the side, and the...

So I finally got around to doing an oil change on the deuce and after running it around the block i proceeded to check for leaks... and found one. It is the gasket on top of the canister under the hold down bolt, replacing it will be easy as pie, however I cannot find a part number for said...

I tried the search function, but the search is weak with this one. I just need dimensions for the tailgate steps so I can make a set for my truck.

So before I left for the USS Ronald Reagan for 3 weeks, I drove the deuce around and everything was fine.( I usually drive it at least twice a week) The day after I came home, I took the deuce out for a spin, and noticed a little quirk. The truck runs and drives fine in all situations with no...

I happened upon a surplus store called the foxhole located across I-5 from Madigan ARMY Hospital and happened to ask if they come by MV parts, they mentioned they had cargo covers, and being that I am in need of one for the deuce, we went out back to look at them. They had several for trailers...

so I drove all over washington today picking up waste motor oil and such, and after the trip was over I came to a few realizations.... 1st - My arms are painfully sore, power steering would be a great upgrade 2nd - I now know what the term "deuce butt" really means 3rd - The deuce didnt seem...

So I was surfing the net, trying to see what performance adders for diesels could be adapted to the multifuel, (I was originally thinking along the lines of an intercooler) when I started to ponder the possibility of making headers and came upon this site...

I was wondering if anyone other me got or is going to get their christmas tree with their deuce and a half. It was also an excuse to get my wife into it, apparently she doesnt think it is as much of a fun vehicle as I do.

And I see a neighbor (a little old lady) walking down her driveway and over to me. I was thinking "here we go..." and to my surprised, she just came out to tell me how cool she thought the truck was. She started asking me all about it, and didnt even ask the usual "what are you gonna use it...

after the rush of purchasing my first mv (the deuce) It is now time to start my first project. I noticed right away that there was a lot that I wanted to do. I have decided that my first project will be the bed. The truck only came with one troop seat, since I have that as a template, I will...

so I noticed oil on my frame in the passenger side front axle area and after investigation I found this...
