Ha! Drive her over to the junk yard, park and get out. On the drive home she'll be the quietest she has ever been!

I simply used a heavy duty rubber-covered push-button switch (starter switch) from a tractor supply store, drilled a hole through the cross member in line with the rod and mounted the switch so that the rod will press the push button when in reverse. Has worked flawlessly since 2009! No cover...

So your pedal is firm and has about 3 1/4 in of travel, stopping well above the floor? I'd say that is good and in line with tightly adjusted brakes. Is your complaint that the pedal sits high off the floor to start with? Have you oiled your air pack lately? A bit of air tool oil through the hex...

Here are some threads that might help: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?76883-Instruction-manual-for-using-the-CTIS https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?88040-manual-ctis https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?33133-Need-to-disable-M35A3-CTIS

I think the first decision needs to be whether you wish to build a functional CTIS or whether you disconnect and plug it in a manner that lets you verify air pressures conventionally and leave it at that. CTIS can be an expensive proposition to maintain in working order. People here have done both.

Yes, Aaron made a square pod with room for alarm lights. I am just using a standard round gauge pod that clamps to the steering column. It's green so it belongs there.

Any updates, Golddigger? Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

The 2in gauges are a little small. WESTACH makes a dual EGT and boost gauge. Mounted in a pod on the steering column, in line of sight, and painted green, it looks like something that *could* be stock. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Would you mind posting pics of the suspension? I have never seen the 108 one, so it would be really interesting!

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?67703-What-did-you-do-to-your-deuce-this-week/page744 Post #7439 I had the rear end jacked up by the frame, axles hanging free. It was easy to pivot the spring pack out of the way.

This here forum thinks it was the Detroit 6-53: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?119838-Deuce-with-6v92T-Detroit-and-transmission The 6-53N (which apparently is used in military configuration) has 5.2 litre displacement, is 39 inches long, 40 inches wide, 43 inches high and weighs...

And there went another half hour of productive work time, reading a thread instead, thanks to SETOYOTA!

I am happy to wait for the beta testing etc. and would be interested in a pair after that!

I'd love to find an M108. I have a soft spot for these little cranes. Good luck with the restauration!.

The "bolt" you are pointing to is one of the studs and nuts for the exhaust manifold. It is oily likely because oil from higher up is dripping on it. Likely from the valve cover gasket or from the head gasket. My rebuilt LDS also seeps here and there and I used a lot of care with seals and...

I see that I might not have described my location well... On the passenger side, at the very rear of the engine block is a pipe plug, just above the starter. Rusty's location might be easier to access. I had the engine out!

I suppose the ballistic nylon is more abrasion and tear resistant than the silicone rubber that is currently being used? Probably a bit thinner, too, maybe makes it easier to clamp. I am happy with the boots I have right now, but :beer: Does ballistic nylon do ok with oil and grease? If that...

I can tell you that for the parts cost of a rebuild (and that is with re-using the pistons) I could *almost* have bought one of the new-in-crate military rebuilt multifuels that someone was selling on eBay for about 3 Grand. I did not magnaflux anything and I did replace the heads. New rings...

The engines would need to be set up as identically as possible before making a comparison. FDC bypassed = fuel turned up. Fuel settings alone have a huge impact on how peppy the truck feels, and some impact on actual performance. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk
