By the way, I had the luberfiner fuel filter that came with the deuce filter "kit" that one of the members sells, but it did not look like it would self center on the canister bolt, and that's the main reason I reused the old one. I also ordered a wix 24770 base and 33405 spin on filter so I...
I sneaked home early from work today to change the primary fuel filter on my deuce. I had replaced both secondaries Sunday, and then proceeded to run my batteries down trying to start it.
I pulled the primary canister off, and was greeted by the brass "cone" setting on top of the filter like a...
I pulled my trailer in home just before dark today. Very nice, clean, and dent and rust free trailer. My Tahoe pulled it like it wasnt even there, except for when I hit a bump and the tailgate would flop- that would make a horrible noise. Couldn't close the tailgate cause the racks were in back...
OK. No boiling oil, synthetic or otherwise for me this time...I searched and found nothing. Someone will probably point out 15 threads now on this topic....
I am considering removing the plating between the front and rear door posts just inside the door. It seems that removing this would...
Ok, I'm new to deuces, but not to brakes. The reason I am posting here is because I am not interested in the redundant military system. I'm looking for a safe modern design that will not maybe be original, but will be safe. I've read the other posts, and the best one ended with the suggestion...
Maybe this has been beat to death already, maybe not. I see master cylinders for sale with one line port and with two line ports, so I assume the dual port cylinder is for dual circuits-front and rear. While I'm bobbing the deuce I may as well go ahead and do this too. Is my assumption...
Yeah, I'll definitely go easy on the fuel, and will install a pyrometer before I move it. It definitely has more than the .150" of thread sticking out of the doubled nuts right now, and like I said, it's safety wired so I assume left the military that way. It's a white engine. Are they more...
Hey all. Before anyone lights me up for not searching first-I HAVE!
I have a LD-465 non-turbo deuce, and I want to read the engine TM. I'm going to assume that I will be told its the same as some other one, but the ones I have looked at all say turbocharged on the cover. Specifically, my ip is...
I purchased a m105 trailer in Indy and need it brought home to rosebud Missouri or at least to st Louis. It will pull fine but as you know you will need magnetic lights and a pintle hitch to pull it. Would like to get it home in the next week or two. Thanks!
Cutting out excess steel around door openings
I saw a truck that had the steel removed inside the doorframe, you know, the stuff that trips you getting in and out when you wear a size 14 shoe. I wondered if this is pretty common? How many of you have removed it?
So for now, I'm shopping for the following to get the truck ready to be all it can be...
M105 trailer
New canvas cab top
A3 or 5 ton steering wheel
Tires- not sure which ones yet, but probably radials in the 42 to 44" range
I appreciate the guidance, and yes I could lose a few pounds, but I'm...
Thanks guys! As far as searching and reading, I've been doing a lot of that. I just want to make it perform at its best intended level without hurting it. Love the truck. Can't wait to cut it down, so now the search for a m105 trailer is on. Also looking for some 42" tires that are not not...
I just got my m35a2 home Sunday. Good running good driving truck. I am very capable mechanically, but still have questions since it is new to me. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
1). My truck is a non-turbo. Do I still have to be concerned about egt?
2). I have bypassed the fdc...
