    How to register a modified 5-ton in TX?

    Louisiana is even easier than that. If memory serves me right I paid $15 for lifetime registration of my M35A2 with no inspection required.

    UPFINN's Deuce Build

    Both times I removed the fuel pump assembly completely. First time was to replace the rubber discharge line and put double clamps on it, and the second time was to replace the factory pump lines with a SS siphon for the Cummins 12valve. If you want it done right I would remove it completely. A...

    UPFINN's Deuce Build

    I eliminated the wet fuel tank issue by coating the top and bottom of the fuel tank gasket with Permatex The RIGHT stuff. Smear the coating on both sides, bolt the pump down, and smear a bead around the pump flange. No leaks.

    Youtube Video Series - How to bob a M931A2 (or not!)

    I'm not sure if Marcus is on this forum or not, but below are links to a series of Youtube videos on bobbing a M931A2. I am not affiliated with anybody shown in the videos. I simply found these videos on Youtube and thought it would be entertaining and possibly educational for a select few...

    fuel shutoff solenoid on the cummins 8.3

    Although I've never looked at a Cummins 8.3L engine up close the fuel shutoff solenoid should be very similar (if not exactly the same) as the Cummins 5.9L 12-valve engine that I have. Attached is a photo of how I converted my fuel shutoff to a manual setup with the standard deuce shut down...

    What happens when you mix an M-818 with ideas peppered with too much testosterone?

    I would like to know about the PTO also. Is it a Chelsea unit on the xfer case? What are the specs on it (model number)?

    class 3 hitch

    Not sure who's picture I "borrowed" off the internet, but in the first picture below it looks like somebody had an aftermarket deuce hitch that failed. So to keep that from happening to me I wanted a custom hitch built to my specs. Although it isn't designated with a class rating I like my...

    Stripped wheel stud or bad hub?

    Crazy question but did you tighten the lugs in the correct direction on the ones that are spinning? In my haste of building my bobber I loosened a few lug nuts the wrong direction with my geared lug wrench and I stripped the threads. Just checking. The paint was so thick on the stud that I...

    Which torque multiplier ?

    Choose the one on the right. $99 shipped. I've had it for a few years with no issues. I use a torque wrench for putting the lug nuts back on. http://lugwrench.biz/buy.htm

    HanksDeuce: 8" Lift, Bobbed, External Cage, A/C and more Project!

    In typical fashion I go against the norm to be different I guess. :) When I tried painting the deuce myself with Behr latex I ended up with a contaminated paint job thanks to my helper. Too late to fix it by the time we caught it. I ran out of steam and just let the green Behr fade into a...

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    Would a replacement engine be any cheaper? I sold mine for $800 with the 5 speed behind it. (For reference. Don't not know rebuild part costs.)

    HanksDeuce: 8" Lift, Bobbed, External Cage, A/C and more Project!

    Additional pictures from Garrett on the repaint of my bobbed deuce. Notes: - Changed colors midstream. Now less yellow (starting with pic #13) - Rapco 686 Tan used as color to shoot for - 2 gallons of paint used so far

    HanksDeuce: 8" Lift, Bobbed, External Cage, A/C and more Project!

    Attached are some paint progress pictures from Garrett. Notes: - Garrett ran out of red alkyd primer so he started using gray - First round of tan top coat was too yellow (pics 8, 9, 10) - Second round of tan looks much better (next post after this one)

    New to me Mystery Oshkosh

    Here's a nice Oshkosh picture page. The picture shown for the 1953 snow blower looks a lot like your truck. http://oldcarandtruckpictures.com/Oshkosh/

    Deuce hub socket

    If you are careful with a dremel you could cut a small sliver in the nut to relieve the friction that's got you. Be careful not to nick the spindle threads or the outer bearing. I've done the same to get a lug nut off a stripped wheel stud.

    Deuce hub socket

    In a pinch you can use a large pair of channel locks. Tightening would be a bit inadequate for a torque reading though.
