    Droop screw doesn't want to turn

    Do I just need to use my man-hands or is that screw suppose to turn somewhat easily? I used right much pressure to try to turn it either way but I didn't know if I'd break a zizwheel or a kanibling pin or some such thing inside there so I left it alone. It runs better up hills since I turned up...

    Horn Tone(s)

    Generally when I push the horn button I get a loud squeal, if I push harder I'll get the louder deeper sound. Sometime's it seems like it depends on the location of where I push the button but my thought is the button is only sending an electrical signal to the solenoid and has nothing to do...

    Loose Nuts & Bolts

    Does the Deuce suffer from the same malady as the Harley? When I first brought it home (Deuce 1/2) there were leaks here and there that I found was nothing more than nuts/bolts that needed torquing, some were quite loose. Since tightening everything up (I thought) there is not a drop of anything...

    New Paint, what are your thoughts?

    Painted Jules Tuesday and finished it up yesterday with wheel painting. It was as shown in the first pic a 3 color camo but I'm just not sure there was a lot of that in '65. In any case it needed some touch up work and I wasn't going to be able to match the colors without doing the whole thing...

    Turn signal indicator lamp/alarm

    Several years ago I bought an LED light for the turn signal indicator that had an audible alarm built in to it. Can anybody tell me where I can get one now? I've searched every way I know how through these forums and every parts dealer I can think of that I've ever used .

    Drilling the manifold

    Is there something I should know before I drill the hole for the egt thermocouple? I think I've read every post here but small things worry me. I know the engine should be running, is idle ok or up the rpm? My thermocouple is a 1/4". Does it really matter or should I wait and get a 1/8"...

    EGT Thermocouple Size

    I have searched but not finding what I want. Can someone tell me what is the correct size for the thermocouple? I just received my gauge, etc from Hewitt and they sent a straight "K", 1/4" 2-3" exha. Perhaps I'm over thinking this and it's why I can't readily find the answer but for one it...

    2 battery system question

    I'm not familiar with the 2 battery setup and/or a generator and I realize it's not some magical or complicated thing, but can something in the system drain one battery and not the other? I ask because I have one new battery (both are interstate blem's and relatively new) that lost all charge...

    Hard starting on this cold 60 deg day

    Rhetorical rant Thought I would drive "Jules" (When I was thinking of a name for my truck a friend said "that is such a bad mother *****r", think Pulp Fiction)..... but I digress, thought I would drive Jules to the big box hardware store. When I went to warm him up I didn't think it was going to...

    Gap between window and cab

    The windows don't seal up very well at all when the doors are closed. Is this just the "nature of the beast", is there something I can adjust? I thought maybe new window seals on the cab (The rubber is hard but it looks like it's all there) and/or the seals along where the window slides itself...

    Heater Diverter Difference

    i jumped over here to the M151 site to ask you guys a question I've been unable to find the answer to myself. Are the above diverters used together or are they for different applications? I have the blower/core assembly and I have recently ordered the diverter pictured on the left but I really...

    Obvious differences between engines

    Is there some obvious way I can tell which engine is in my deuce (LDT-465-1c, LDT-1d or LDS) without taking it apart? I've searched several posts about the differences but I'm looking for something like "The canibler pin in the encabulator is truncated on the 1C and not on the 1D". I've read...

    M151 Mutt heater in a Deuce

    I've been contemplating a hot water heater for my Deuce and am thinking I'll go with it mostly for the defrost capability (thanks to the several posts about it) and it just so happens I have a M151 Mutt heater that's been laying around for several years. I've been searching half the day for a...

    Looking for a part, don't know what it's called

    The headlights are attached to a plate. This plate is attached to the truck by 6 studs that attach by nuts to the front of this plate and on the rear to the support. The center of these studs are rubber to cushion the headlights from vibration (I suppose). The rubber has sheared off on all of...

    What do you have your air pressure set at?

    I have been researching air pressure threads for various reasons and have noticed wide differences in pressures people have their govenor set at, anywhere between 80-120 psi. Is it personal preference or is that just the way you bought it and never had any reason to change it or like me...

    Air leak under dash

    I have been searching for the last hour and I know it's been asked a dozen times but it seems there has been no "final" answer (or more likely I missed it). All I found in the TM's were exploded views but nothing about how all this is supposed to work. First I guess I should say this is a 65...

    AVM hub install.....flange bolt question

    I searched but found nothing. I understand the wheel lug nuts are left and right threaded. Are the flange bolts all right threads or left and right also? I did a test on one of the bolts yesterday and bent my 1/2" break bar, wondering if I was turning it the wrong way. My hubs arrived today, I'm...

    What is this lever underneath the dash?

    I just finished looking at the TM for "complete diagram with description of all components" and, well it's not complete. Just what is this lever (no, not the window crank) and does it operate something I need to know about? It toggles up and down like it oughta do something.

    New to M35A2, first purchase

    Looking at this 67 AMG and if all goes well and it's as I was lead to believe, I'll be driving it the 350 miles Sunday to get it back home. I've been assured it's in excellent condition and has been on a 2-3 hour road trip just recently to a military vehicle show. If there are any pros and/or...
