    where to buy sprag

    Seems like I paid $50 each plus shipping, but do keep in mind it was a couple of years ago so the price may have changed.

    where to buy sprag

    Although it's been a couple of years, I purchased a pair of brand new sprags 2520-00-513-5811 (at a great price) from Steel Soldiers member NDT. You can replace the sprags without removing the transfer case, just the front driveshaft output cover.

    Get rid of that biodiesel, for new MV buys

    A friend of mine purchased two deuces from Ft. Sill about a year ago. Both truck's tanks were almost full but had a couple gallons of the stickiest reddish/brown sludge I'd ever seen in the bottom of them. We drained the tanks and the only thing that would dissolve the remaining sludge that was...

    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    Yep, three relays with 24v coils, like Sierra117 (do an E-Bay search for "24v relay", look for something like this: GPS GSM GPRS car tracker car alarm accessory Relay 24V | eBay A little searching will find you ones in the USA). Trigger the relays with the 24v left and right stop/turn plus...

    converting 24v truck to 12v trailer

    Here's a link to the ones I've been building, they are very similar to the one Sierra117 made: Civi Trailer Lights The problem with running trailer brakes off a voltage converter isn't the power required to fully engage them, about 6 or so amps per axle, but the surge current when they are...

    Cutting frame on a bob

    Those measurements work well with a Curt 15530 hitch. The picture shows a truck with that hitch installed. The receiver sticks out a fair bit from the back edge of the mount, so it's pretty close to even with the end of the bumperettes.

    Injector tip coking

    You're not running it hard enough. I don't recall which TM it's in, but it stated that the official method to de-coke a Deuce was to load it to capacity and run it for 100 miles at full power. AKA an "Italian Tune Up". I'll see if I can find it again.

    GL-1 Gear Oil Alternative

    Stuart, I double checked what i thought I knew, and you are right! Attached is a viscosity chart. Smokewagon66, I've got the manufactures documentation regarding the transfer case (it's posted here in the thread) and their recommendation for SAE50, but don't have any docs for the...
