I'm glad you posted that video of a Deuce C turbo on a CUCV. Gives me hope I may hear that familiar whistle again someday as I still have one of those!

Rustystud, I'll have to disagree with you slightly on "Maxican" parking brakes. A few years ago on the way to Ft. Stewart, a Soldier somehow thought it would be a good idea to set the parking brake on an M1078 LMTV going 55 mph. down the road. It immediately locked the rear axle and nearly...

One other reason to vote for my truck. If you notice, Papabear and Wreckerman893 both voted for it and they never agree on anything. It's just that nice a truck!!!

Note to all, include pictures of your kids with your trucks!! Sure seems to be helping my chances as there are some very nice vehicles in the running this month. If that's what it takes to get the votes, please enjoy!!! My kids will likely grow into owning some of this stuff. At least I can...

Martin, Your description is perfectly correct when describing the sprag transfer case found in the M39 and M809 series trucks. The original poster has an M939 series truck which does have a transfer that operates similarly to a deuce, direct engagement when air pressure is applied. R/S, Joseph

Most people on here call them "dogbones". They are an item that should be inspected for cracking of the rubber on a regular basis. It is somewhat uncommon to hear of issues of them on a 5 ton but you can find issues with them fairly regularly in the Deuce forum. Same basic suspension design...

I want to come but some unforeseen circumstances have sidelined my trip. I'll party with my Florida Friends in October at Durhamtown!! I really hate that I'm not able to make it. It's a scheduling issue that came up last minute and I've got to place the family that lives on these few acres...

Basically same truck and trailer, lunette ring flipped down. Trailer was slightly nose down on a bone stock M1028 but not that bad. I'll have to recreate the scene in daylight for a better view.

Thanks to member Al Harvey, I purchased a set of uprights at the GA Rally this past year. I finally saved up enough for a cover. Now I just need to touch up paint slightly and get some rubber bungee straps to hold the rear outriggers in the stowed position. Getting there slowly but surely!

Now that I'm home from training with the National Guard, it's time to Campaign. I've only had this truck since October but it's what I really wanted for quite some time. It made it's first 180 mile trip to the GA Military Vehicle Rally this last go around days after I brought it home. It then...

I've run into this problem on my A0. I sprayed some PB Blaster into the line that goes into the governor. I had to pull the compressor head off and clean all of the carbon out that I had loosened and was causing everything to not seat.

You certainly know how to barter!!! How about a spot to sleep?

I'm sure it can be made to whistle. Best bet sound wise would be to find a Deuce with a C Turbo and install a muffler. It silences the bark but none of the whine and it's one of the things I miss about owning a Deuce.

Let's go General Non-Sense!!!!

http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Portable-Outdoor-Wireless-Speaker/dp/B00Y1D6ISK I use one of these. Fits very well next to the shifter and is Bluetooth capable. I stream music to it from my phone using IHeart Radio. It also has a built in FM tuner but it's not as loud in that mode. The engine...

I'm close friends with the members you mentioned. I'm pulling for my own truck though!!! Whose truck in the running has been shipboard and stored in Norway? Silence follows!!! Whose trucks are on original rubber? From 1985, factory fresh from the day it came off the line? Sure, I've had to...

Nearly killed the batteries starting mine this morning in 20 degree weather. Operator error. With all the flooding that went on a few weeks ago, I became concerned someone might want to take it home so I flipped the emergency shut-off valve on the top of the PT pump to the "Off" position...

The truck as designed will handle whatever you put into the bed. As designed means good tires and good thoroughly checked brakes. Most Deuces have a single circuit air boosted hydraulically actuated brake system. As far as moving the load, it'll be fine but perhaps slow. Luckily, the...

I live down in Georgia where we don't have issues like that. I do recall reading around on here about some trucks of that vintage having alcohol kits installed upstream of the air compressor inlet to help alleviate that sort of problem. I'd try to locate one of those or attempt to install an...

Quick rule of thumb without looking closely at the sidewalls. If you can fit your fist between the rear tires, 14's. If you can't slide a finger between the rear tires, 16's.
