67 MPH, that's motoring on a bit, Could a 'back draft' have been the cause of an object, albeit small been thus projected at the window?

This is exactly what I would do for the temporary fix. Cut it, Fit a tight (fit) good quality hose over both the ends, clamp them, and your good to go. As rusty said, do the proper fix when you have it home.

He mentioned 10 foot inside the bed. And what a fantastic stance that truck has now. Great job.

(fuming!) What in HECK are you possibly even thinking of here?: For crying out loud, SAFETY, and then safety, is the paramount consideration. NOT "can I drive with a bolt/screw in the tires"!??. Can I do this that or the other, ALL dangerous. Change your tires and tubes. or replace the wheels...

If you mean pictures, Yes absolutely fine, and very nice pictures as well. thank you for posting, and welcome to the site and hobby. You sure have a lovely addition to start up in the hobby.

Could have been for a stabilizer type absorber to prevent wheel shimmy or similar?

We sure would like that overdrive modification. Is there. in fact, a better spaced ratio gearbox for the deuce, and the m54 5 ton trucks, anyone?

Could be expensive, as you could have them 'metal sprayed' if there is an engineering firm near that would undertake the task. However, first check if the inner bore of the bearings have "spun" and worn, then just the shaft might clean up. When cleaned up they only need to be a good tight 'Push...

Roger that! I should have mentioned that point as well. Yep, get some super singles on and enjoy a better cruise and economy.

That looked fun, I like the singles, on your m34. We pulled a sled like that "out of the ring" much to the amazement of the crowd, in my M54A2 camper. Never did try the deuce though I think it would fare less as it runs on 1200x20. singled out.

Was that the fast idle device or screw you refer to as the 'choke', as diesel engines do not have a choke.

Welcome to the site and hobby. Looking out for the pictures when you post them.

That screw should not be there!, maybe someone left it in, And in not removing it tried to stop the leak (in tube and tire) with foam. Otherwise foam filled tires are usually used on plant and machinery.

It was a good weight lifting exercise, not too mucky in our experience, and completed in a day. As mentioned use the nuts, and a copper drift is also a useful tool.

Welcome to the site, hobby, friendships, and events to come. That is a nice base truck for you get into the hobby with. And you repair methods are just fine, you will most probably need more of them in the near future. I noticed it seems to have a red side light facing forward?, or is that just...

Thanks for the comment, NO beerz! though as they are Cadets helping the group. Drives, Experience and learning, rewards enough. And what they really appreciate my 'helper' has "adopted" the M45 530C fire truck. Loves it..And knows how to use it and it's functions. (he should, he FIXED! most of...

That's the way we do them. And every 5 years the in tank pump filter screen is checked as well.They usually need a clean, and some have dropped the shims. Put them back and center pop the surround to stay them in.

Working through the trucks to service them etc. for upcoming events. Especially War and Peace Revival 2016. July. Well the 5 tons are ready, now it was the turn of the deuces. My two were worked through, oils changed, brakes adjusted. checks carried out. Belts etc. Then the turn of a friends...

Come Saturday, changed the engine oil, and added molyslip, greased all round, checked axles gear box and transfer case, and added molyslip. Checked the belts. tire pressures and spare. This IS major work for me..HA! but the lad 'kicks in' (bennym45) and completes the tasks with supervision. (and...

And (hopefully) keeping lots of tools ready for some heavy duty brake cleaning and servicing after the event.
