Nobody?

I'd find a place that does boat covers or truck tarps and have them fix it.

Any update to the performance of the Deuce with the kinks ironed out?

Looking at TM9-2320-361-24-1, work package 0036 00-3/4, illustration, item 16 (a bracket that also appears to close off an unused oil port). This appears to be a bracket that also closes off the third suction port of the oil pump that is NOT being used in the LDT, but is used in the LDS. Can...

Wow...air lockers front and back. Nice.

Yes, pics please. There are variations, some full metal, some metal and bakelite (don't like those). The shape does not matter, as long as it has the right thread. You did jumper the brake light switch wires to check that the lights themselves and, by extension, the circuit through the light...

Plenty of heavy stuff to bid on and then carry home on the back of your truck! It is to keep my truck running well, honey!

NAPA has civilian switches that also work if you do not want to wait. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?130915-Air-stop-light-switch-issue&highlight= or metal, if you don't want the white plastic...

I would think that a little time, a pyrometer and setting fuel delivery and droop screws to where they ought to be would fix that!:evil::naner:

This progressed to engine defect/failure. Engine swap time, then rebuild.

You found a good supplier. Well...a set of brake shoes for a 2002-2004 F-150 is 50 bucks. They seem small beside a deuce brake shoe. "Pricey" is relative, I would say. You have a truck with 6 brake drums, so... :-) You can save a bit of coin by rebuilding the wheel cylinders (kits available)...

You are further ahead than me... I would only touch the IP to bypass the FDC and adjust droop screw and fuel delivery. I would replace the oil supply and oil return hoses for the IP. Otherwise, I'd leave it alone, unless there are issues.

Yes, I think that is correct. What I tried to say is that without any other axle or suspension parts being faulty, there is about one to one and a half inches of lateral movement.

The trunnion bearing is one to check (and grease, while you are at it) - lateral play or lateral shift can originate there. My experience on my truck that has serviceable dog bones and good trunnion bearings is that in a tight turn there is about 1 - 11/2 inches lateral difference between the...

Negative. They don't - despite some 400 updates, compared to the original.

Bad ground would be on the top of my list.

I am not aware of any dual circuit M36 trucks. There is a nice looking M36 for sale in the classifieds...with a parts truck, if you want it.....

I remember agonizing over this when I was looking for mine. This time round, I would just look for a mechanically healthy, rust-free Deuce, preferably SteelSoldier-owned, that is well maintained and not abused with deep-water fording, mud bogs and the like. Unless your plan is to to a complete...
