    Whats up with my deuce's wipers ?

    Yeah, the air wipers are a PITA that's a deuce fact. How far open can lift the windshield with those electric wipers. The motors are actually quiet simple to take apart and clean.

    I took time to work on the 1957 Utica Bend today...

    Kind of neat I think, I have not see a deuce shop truck. At 18,300 she's got 4,000 more pounds of steel than a M35A2 W/W. I want a M925 so bad and all the 900 series chatter is not helping.

    Loud Bang between 1st gear and Reverse

    Check the shaft between the transmission and the transfer(2:18).

    Oh oh, black fluid on the driveway

    That would be an easy how to video to make "how to check the axle oil" or I could combo "how to check the axle, transfer case, and transmission oil". Here is a video showing how to check the brake fluid.

    Oh oh, black fluid on the driveway

    That's one heck of a mess. Based on the fact you said it was gear oil you have an axle leak. Need to replace the seals, inspect/pack the bearings, clean your spring vent, and refill with gear oil. I say check the brake fuild to confirm, then clean the spring vent and get it to your shop. Man...

    Compressor going bad?

    Sounds fine to me....if your still worried replace the belt, clean the inlet filter, and replace the air governor. Go around to the fittings and use some pipe dope to seal things up. I had a similiar concern but after running the piss out of the truck yesterday my air compressor sounds great.

    What Plates on a Deuce in GA

    I see guys with regular plates all the time. However, I have a weighted plated of 26,000. Cobb County DMV would not let me have anything else. They said it was a cargo truck. Plate was cheap though $40. Oh and they has a officer come out to verify my vin.

    Zipper -vs- 1pc Knuckle Boot

    I agree, this is very sound advice. You would be wise to follow it. Deuce axle boots = PITA.

    coolant leak behind waterpump, seemingly ?

    I say overkill fix it. Pull the radiator, replace all the hoses, all the belts, and the thermostat. That's what I did on my truck.

    Rear Hub Removed- A Few Questions

    Looks good to me. Make sure you clean the axle vent or that gear between the seal and hub will blow past the seal or out the axle flange. Oh and adjust the brakes while you have the wheels off.

    new deuce owner and leaky brakes

    Yes, you should be concerned if it's brake fluid you could kill yourself and that would suck. So is it brake fluid or gear oil?

    Painting an Air Force Deuce

    Three color camo CARC for two reasons. 1. Looks good 2. Helps camouflage the truck from the neighbors and code enforcement from space (I am not joking they claimed they had images).

    air compressor

    Yes, the air system on the M35A2 can be used to inflate tires and run tools. Here is a video highlighting how this can be done. Best of luck
