    Here is an early photo, after the 1,200 gal fuel tank had been lifted off. I'll post more.... No bumper markings, only the hood and doors.

    Deuce Non-Start

    Yes, it can easily be pulled. The Arrow and marked tooth must line up as shown in image below before the head can be pulled up. Note: Do not turn the engine over after head is pulled, that would upset the timing. Replace the plug in the head as soon as possible to reduce chances of dirt entry.

    WTB Deuce Alternator

    I have a surplus one, probably the 3002AD or AE (the tag is roughed up), but it has the fan on the pulley side. I don't know if it's a good one or not, but I guess I can let it go. The mounting ears are good. How much is it worth to you Mark? Shipping weight is 35lb.

    Deuce Starter Button

    The start button operates the starter relay, which in turns energizes the solenoid. The current carried by the start button contacts is about 1/4 amp with an inrush of several times that, just about any momentary contact switch will do the job. Like Jake suggests, the start button is probably...

    Personnel Heater Question

    Maybe the date of the TM has something to do with it, the illustration comes from the July 1972 TM 9-2320-260-20.....

    Heater--what could be done with it?

    Re: RE: Heater--what could be done with it? Hmmm..the 8x8 has two heaters, one is installed vertically and one horizontally. I have seen something about an "equalizer tube" on some control valves, which may have something to do with the mounting position...something else to investigate..... :?

    Forty Below Zero Deuce

    Hi Ernie, do you have any further info on the type of insulation used? It's virtually impossible to find an arctic kit for the 8x8, so I'm using odd parts to make up for missing pieces. I have some yellowish liner from an M923 battery box, but I think it's more for absorbing electrolyte spills.....

    Looking to put

    My '68 M49A2C fuel tanker came from Camp Lejeune, NC with 4-color camo and numbers as described above. I'll dig up some photos from its first arrival home in 1995, meanwhile, here is an image of the hood and door stenciling now, same as original except there was a "frame" around the door number...

    Heater--what could be done with it?

    I would think that with the proper accessories, heat any vehicle. I have a similar, if not the same (30,000 BTU) unit, in my 8x8 and love it. What's the part number?

    Deuce on 16-20 ifa tires

    Luis, how old are your tires, I get a lot of grader, backhoe and tractor type hits when searching for those numbers? Generally, not for highway use......then again, the 16-20 tires on my 8x8 are not DOT approved either.

    Personnel Heater Question

    David, I have to ask, which truck and what does the TM show? The duct work is usually on the crew compartment side of the firewall for easy control. Where are you driving?

    Deuce 24 volt accessories power supply

    Good grief, that's big! You know that each slave connector is rated 245 amps, right? :-)

    Deuce 24 volt accessories power supply

    Right, it's a "self issued" 35Watt 24 to 12 volt linear regulator, built from scrap parts. It is difficult to build them economically in small quantities, so if anybody wanted one, I'd have to charge $35 or so, it is fully encapsualted. The input can vary from about 14 to 30 volts with a...

    Deuce 24 volt accessories power supply

    The feed to the horn circuit breaker comes from the battery. I have several additional circuit breakers added from that same feed for some features, like the headlight by pass switch. For the intercom and a point of load, 24 to 12 volt power supply (for the CB and a fuel temp gauge), I use the...

    What size/brand are these tires?

    What about the Goodyear G177 tires used by the military?
