Heat is good, but if you have the hammer-type impact screwdriver used to remove and install motorcycle case screws, pull off the adaptor and it should be 1/2 inch drive. Try it next with a 2 lb hammer. Heat the area around the plug ( not on the winch which is aluminum ) , and it should come...

I just want to thank all for the "list" and experience. I've added quite a bit to my P/U list due to this post. I'm probably going to do this only once. I'll try and get it right the first time. From GL's pictures, and a report from dueceman51,( he saw my truck while working as a mechanic for...

From experience, when you slam brakes on that hard, you jolt or shock the drive train. I once broke a '48 Ford coupes transmission main shaft in half doing what you did. You may have damaged the clutch disc. If the greasing of your throwout bearing doesn't quiet it down, start looking at the...

Plastic cans don't rust. I've discovered that there are alot of steel GI or aftermarket cans laying around that people don't want. The stupid rubber seal is the main reason. The metal cans fit your GI holders on: MB, GPW, M37, M38, M38A1, M35 a2's ETC. A guy gave me 3 cans!!!! All I wanted...

If you have air, try some quick blasts into the drain hole of the block to see if you can open it up. A rubber tipped blower or extended blower might work. Hope you can get the crap to come out. John

Gold Nugget Surplus did have them. I ordered 10. Ask for Joe! ;)

Thanks for the two leads. I'm looking for the rubbers for real GI metal 5 gallon cans. I was thinking of trying the military parts houses next anyway, but thought I'd ask. Tractor inner tube rubber is not compatable with gasoline or diesel. You need neoprene. I have the ruberized cork, but the...

Don't forget that once your dipstick is straight, you must insert it at the correct angle or you will have problems and mis-comfort. You might cuss a little but try again until you get it right! You got to check her oil before you proceed! I had to laugh on this one also. Thanks for the good...

Where can you get the GI 5 gallon filler cap and donkey %^&* rubbers or neoprene gasket seals??????? I've typed in everything I can think of to find and buy some new rubbers. I found some narrow ones that don't cover the vent hole. _______ NO GOOD. 2 1/4 ID, 3 1/2 OD . Any suppliers or parts...

From what I've seen lately, GSA, GL, dealers, private owners, rough not running 500.00-1000. rough running, 700.00-2000.00, good shape running, 1200.00-8500.00. Winch seems to add 1000.00, Hardtop, add 1000.00, This is what I've seen from either auction results or asking prices. The end actual...

A couple of thoughts: If you constrict a diesel too much, the EGT's will get too hot under very hard working conditions like pulling a big load on a trailer up a hill. You need to install a pyrometer in the exhaust manifold if you haul alot. Get it over 1250 degrees and the oil in the turbo from...

Congrats, shipping 600 miles, probably at least 700.00, I hope they didn't cut your wiring harness when they removed the light switch, been there, Great price, In the end, you're going to like it!!!

I'm waiting to see if they got my EUC and drivers license I sent AM today and go from there. Hey ksm715, if it's 60 days, good chance you can stop by and see it when you go to Custer-----look me up. PM me for contact info. The dice has been rolled and we'll see what luck I have getting the...

I feel so much better after a couple of highballs! Patience is why you save money here. Impatience is why guys that buy multiple units make the difference in money. Time is money. I know from experience that if you take your brain out and put it on a shelf, -----and put it back in after the...

I won my deuce, and am glad to join the frat., but-----I get a sick feeling when they come right out and say that first timers wait 60 days to get approval after paying and submitting your EUC. Any late comments on how long they took to do yours? Are they better or should I put my brain on the...

My deuce auction ends tomorrow, and I plan on getting it! I already have a wrecker lined up once the EUC is done etc. I most likely could drive it home, but they want proof of insurance and don't want you working on your truck to get it running on base. If you haul it off base and get it ready...

Thanks for all comments guys! I have a Dodge Cummins pickup with the 5.9 12 valve and am familiar with how a diesel is tuned and turned up. The D type turbo is more common than the C ?????? How do you tell the two apart other than the sound????? I too am new here, but not to military vehicles...

You both got there for Easter, but who got the best fuel economy????? John

Grease under grass! Ole in North Dakota would say---"Uff Dah" I Tink we stuk!!!!!! 13,900 pounds stuck. Looks like you were very close to spun down to the axle housings. When you get there, you got a problem!:cookoo: John

The cool sound of a c turbo is great, a D turbo is quieter. I read it is bigger. Correct? Which one gives the better power and fuel mileage??? I do have to admit if you like the smell of diesel exhaust ( I do) the whine or whistle is mighty cool. Is it hard to swap a D for a C whistler...
