I was wondering, has anyone tried installing a new cam shaft in their multi fuel engine? Should be able to increase horse power and lower the exhaust gas temperature (if the valve timing were correct). I would love to have another 30-40 hp but it seems that the engine would be flirting with...

Try explaining that logic at a weigh in station with a 5 ton load of firewood. I dare you.

I have been jumping through all of the DMV'S hoops for the last 4 months. Having just gone through all of this I am positive that antique insurance is needed and that if you have an accident with any cargo in your truck that your policy will be void. They will refuse to pay your claim. I still...

If you regester your truck in Pa. as an antique you have to send the dmv a copy of your ANTIQUE insurance policy with your title. Your ANTIQUE insurance policy will spell out very clearly that no cargo means NO cargo. If you stop for icecream, you better eat it standing on the sidewalk. Your...

I am new to the military truck hobby so I don't know many people who have them. If I did know someone who was going to cup up an incredible machine especially an old one, I would do my best to talk him out of it. To me taking a deuce and turning it into an oversized pickup truck is like taking...

For $1,500 I would buy it and keep it the way it is and buy the multi fuel truck later.

I dont know if this will help or not but I didn't regester my 2 1/2 ton as an antique. My truck is registered as a station wagon (SW) and there is no gcvw listed on the registration. I do have a comercial insurance policy with Allstate. I have to get the truck inspected every 6 months. I had...

I am going to change the transfer case fluid and clean the vent and hope for the best. Thanks everyone for you input.

Yeah, I was just throwing that out there. I don't know much about how it works. If everything worked I think that should rule out a clogged line. I could take it out for a drive again and try to replicate the problem and try to find the source of the stink. I have only owned the truck for...

I just drained the air tanks, nothing but water. What would happen if there was water in the differential and the gears on top were hot for some reason. When the axle was engaged could the water find its way to the top and flash to steam causing the sudden burst of gear oil stink to escape the vent?

I looked everywhere and can't find a leak.

Looks like I spelled that wrong. It's tappet. It's the cover behind the fuel filters. It's about 6" x 14" long. I noticed that the mounting screws were all loose. I tightened them and it still leaked. When I renoved the cover I found that the gasket was rough, stiff and brittle.

The hill is only about 8-10 degrees. It was muddy from the recent rain.

I took my Deuce out for a drive today. When I got home I wanted to park in the side yard to make some room for visitors later on today. As I headed up the hill in the yard I started to loose traction. I came to a complete stop, flipped the lever to turn on the front axle, put the trans in first...

Just this Monday I fixed a simular problem with my m35a2. I had two oil leaks. One was the rear oil filter seal and the other was the tapit cover gasket. I removed the oil filter and seal, cleaned everything and flipped the seal over and reinstalled everything. Next I removed the tapit cover...

16 is the power from the light switch to the dimmer switch.

I would recommend getting a meter with an audible tone for checking continuity. When you hook up your leads, if there is a short, the buzzer will sound. Just start wiggling hires until the buzzer stops and you should have found your short. Unless there's two shorts, then you will have to rely on...

Don't forget it could be the indicator light.

I replaced my parking brake and the universal joints since I had the drive shaft out.
