    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    Perhaps it's not a fuel delivery or fuel pressure problem, if fuel pressure can pop off the injectors for it to run, it should start, in theory, but have you pulled the injectors to check the spray patterns? I ask this, because the deuce will start with a non working in tank pump, the IP and HH...

    Oil Leak Around Oil Filter

    You can try the black adhesive permatex to see if that solves the problem, but I would only apply a small bead all the way around the very outer edge of the filter base so none of it makes it under the adapter. If a piece came loose, that could clog something and make a small issue into a big issue.

    December 2023 MV of the Month Nomination Thread!

    No not at all, but I will need the addresses of the competitors so I can mail a care package, I got a good deal on some cool Korean surplus stuff 🤷😉

    M35a2 Super Singles Difference & Installation

    It's best to flip them around and have dish out or air them up before installation if you want dish in. I'm pretty sure you'll have to flip the hubs if you run dish out so the rears are in line with the front unless you don't care about that. All of mine are dish out and while it may not look...

    M109 rebirth into M48A2

    That makes sense, as you're correct about the duty cycle. I know as long as the winch isn't working too hard, usually you can push the envelope on th duty cycle, I have seen it quite a bit on the Harbor Freight Apex winches and those darn things just keep pulling, so I imagine a high quality one...

    M109 rebirth into M48A2

    As far as the winch goes, the stock winch is plenty sufficient with a snatch block or two and a cable or rope in good condition, but from what I've read on other threads, the line speed will be different. The stock winch is a pita to use by yourself, but if ease of use is what you want, it's...

    Any modified parking brake

    Definitely want to keep the truck in neutral when parked, not to mention if you ever forget that it's in gear and hit that start button, the starter will make the truck roll and could hit something you didn't intend too. I know that first hand as I done that years and years ago when I was green...

    Bobbed M35 turn signal and hazard issues

    Glad you got it fixed! It's nice when it's a simple part swap or a "simple" fix.

    Halloween MV dress up

    No, I got a new job and couldn't get the time off. I'm coming 100% for sure next year tho. Then she'll have new head gaskets, some new tires, brakes serviced, axles and wheel bearings will be done too. This way I can drive her on down for a good long relaxing vacation, lol.

    Finally got me a deuce!

    "I hope it doesn't give me to much grief if / when I remove it. I will get a 2nd pair of hands to help out. Let it fall on his fingers 😅" Now that's using your noggin!

    ID request for broken component

    Since the parts has been narrowed down, when it comes to installation of that part and other various things on the deuce, I highly recommend to go on YouTube and find the channel "Tactical Repair." He has tons of videos including one about the speedo on the T-case. Very helpful information and...

    Finally got me a deuce!

    My alternator failed on me three times on my old deuce. Had it rebuilt twice from the same shop, first it was the regulator then the brushes. When it failed for the third time I just replaced it with a 24v AC Remey and had a local shop fab up a bracket for me, didn't have anymore issues with it...

    Must Have's for New Deuce?

    Yes, that's what I was shown and told by numerous deuce owners. Even though mine all passed that test, I still had one that popped off but luckily it came off towards the mount. While I was able to get away driving back home with it like that, I needed a puller to get it back on and it was not...

    Must Have's for New Deuce?

    One thing I'd check for sure are the dog bone bushings. Bad bushings can lead to a more unstable ride and can allow the dog bones to pop off when the axles articulate. That's one plus side to a bobbed deuce, no dog bone bushings to worry about. To replace a full set on the deuce is about...

    New M54A2 owner

    I bought one of these style wrenches from Sears back when I did mine. It fits but I also had my oil filters out, all my injectors and lines were pulled, so I didn't have much of anything in the way and I just put a pipe on it for leverage. You could go this route or you can bend/cut/weld your...
