    All this for a freeze plug?!

    Us civilians can use Cooltrak to check for acidity and freeze point...find it on line, about $8.00 for 50 strips.

    M923A2 came home with me today!

    Good going Chris! When I installed the pipeline bed on my deuce, I automatically added a ground strap to the frame with all the extra lights that came with it. It should all be covered in my latest article in MVM, but haven't seen the magazine yet, though...maybe my subscription expired...

    Aberdeen 2007

    After getting back from California with the deuce, I cancelled the insurance and registration of the truck. I'm currently looking for a low cost policy to get it to and from Aberdeen and am not having a lot of luck. I can't add it to my car policy and there seems to be no way around the...

    4 Color MERDC Pattern Needed

    I have the 1990 version downloaded (about 16 MB) and it's the 3-color pattern, which supersided the 1976 version... Don't know what's on this site, it failed to download for me too.

    Deuce starter removal?????????

    This was my work place when the starter motor was replaced last July. Note that the air filter/canister comes off. The starter was lifted up and out in my case (the crane was not used :-)). Also, part of the exhaust right after the turbo.

    Yes Im Posting ANOTHER Filter Thread!!

    At least in Virginia and South, the heater is rarily needed. After 1/2 hour on the road, the firewall gets hot enough to heat the crew compartment (even with my bikini top). It comes in handy for defrosting the windshield, that's about the extent of my usage. If you are running hot, it may also...

    Yes Im Posting ANOTHER Filter Thread!!

    Pete, D-man's single filter assy requires about 18 inches of vertical space with clearance to change it and all. You should have space for a bypass filter on the flat forward of the heater. It won't help time-to-oil pressure, but it will improve oil filtration and will not upset the original...

    Front mini light kit lights

    Some images of the marker lights. They are wired to the front composite light assy. Note the extra separate ground and the use of "star" washers. I'm following through on the XM757 also. Lee, the hydraulic hose may be on overkill at 1,250 psi, but 5 to 10x the rating is pretty normal for mil...

    Yes Im Posting ANOTHER Filter Thread!!

    Matt, I didn't add any oil, the required volume should be about the same as before, although it will show a bit lower on the dip stick with the new filter staying filled up. I'll check it tomorrow, but don't plan on adding any even if the level is a little below normal. Kenny, I may have two...

    Yes Im Posting ANOTHER Filter Thread!!

    It would mean a lot of work just to gain 2 seconds or so in time to oil pressure. The filter is almost touching the fender as it sits now. The main reason for this test is to demonstrate improvement in filtration. I'm also monitoring the pressure drop across the filter. I'll keep it installed...

    Front mini light kit lights

    Hmmm..didn't know there was a kit for those lights, I put a turn signal light in that spot also.

    How full is full

    Fill to 1/2 inch of filler plug, plus or minus. The outer wheel bearing seal keep the bearings free of gear oil.

    Fuel heated heater controls

    Thanks again Mark, the pump came with the 8x8 and is the kind that makes the "clack, clack, clack" sound. :-) It is mounted on a bracket on the inside of the frame near the fuel tanks, used it to prime the fuel filters when test firing the LDS465-2 back in November (can hardly believe its been 5...
