If you are really interested in exporting your trucks, you can start by going to the following URL DSP-5 Export License Application Requirements - Export Rules The State Dept handles export licenses for military equipment. Export licenses for other types of equipment are handled by the Export...
You are most likely correct in that the compressor is OK. As wsucougarx mentioned, it sounds like you are looking at one of the air tanks. Are you certain that the bleed valve isn't stuck in the open position? Also, since it sounds like you are new to Deuces, have you been bleeding the air...
Smart thinking! I know you guys in Oklahoma really got hit. We're getting ready for about 7 - 9 inches of snow tonight. I plan to play in the snow with the Deuce tomorrow if the forecast is correct.
This was a lot faster than my last EUC, so I can't complain much. Of course I bought a pig in a poke so to speak, not having inspected the GenSet. I couldn't find a manual in the Resources. I believe the manual is TO 35C2-3-499-1. Does anyone out there have one or know where I can get one?
I just won a Wisconsin Robin 3 KW Gen Set at Fort Bragg on January 22. My EUC was just issued today - 7 day wait. I plan to pick it up sometime next week. I didn't inspect it, but it looks good in the GL photo, so I hope I got lucky. Now I need a manual. I hope there is one in Resources, but I...
I as wondering if anyone here got either of the two M35A3 W/Ws at Warner Robbins? The auctions closed yesterday. They both looked very good and I seriously considered bidding on one of them.
I ran into a guy once that had the same problem of the Xfer case jumping out of high range. I don't know what caused his problem, but I do know that the Xfer case was dissasembled and deemed to be unrepairable economically. He put in another case and his problem was solved.
When I start my MEP-003A, the voltmeter always initially shows in the green for 10 - 15 seconds and then falls down into the yellow. It then slowly creeps back up into the green as the batteries are charged over a period of time. I don't know if this is normal or not, but my charging system...
If you have a hot-water heater installed, make sure that it is turned off since it is powered separately from the master. The wiring diagram for a Deuce is very simple and it is very easy to troubleshoot. What everyone else has said is true. You should not have problems leaving your Deuce for...
Nice score! When I picked up my MEP-003A at Ft Jackson, I checked the oil. It also had a good bit of fuel. I put new batteries in the unit and decided to simply hit the starter and make sure the engine would turn. over To my surprise, it turned over about one revolution and started right up...
I use the Amex card and since it requires to be paid in full each month, there is no limit, only GLs limit. I've bid on a lot of GL auctions and have never had a problem.
I just replaced mine two weeks ago. My speedometer was always jerking up and down, especially at low speeds. Physically, my old cable sheath looked good before removing it. Once I removed the old one, it was obvious that the cable should have been replaced years ago. The replacement was very...
When in the Army, all our engines looked like that when they weren't washed if they had been driven in the dirt. There is always an oil film on an engine that dust adheres to.
I agree with everyone about the prolonged idling. Diesels will wet stack if they are not running hot enough and idling will cause this. Mine will actually throw gunk out of the stack when I rev it up if it has been idling a long time. As far as the oil level, if you check the level one minute...
Georgia passed the first title law in the early 60s and the first model years where titles were issued was 1963. Titles are optional in GA from 1963 - 1985 model years. 1986 and newer require titles in GA. The explanation can be seen at MVD | Is a Title Required for My Vehicle? .
