Re: Airpack rebuild One important thing to remember is to install the U-cup seals with the "cup" facing the higher pressure. DOT 3 has been good to me for a decade at least. :-)

Found a better use for the space on the old heater bracket....the M151 heater fits perfectly (a departing gift from Leonard Jones last Fall), just had to turn the motor over and the intake duct will have to be extended some. :-)

I feel the need to explain that my deuce is very much a test bed for a number of ideas and projects and D-man's filter installation may not look ideal. I installed it for easy access and vertically to handle it full of oil and it's not a permanent installation. I have sent in a sample of the...

On the camera issue, I always open the battery case when it's not used, seem to make the batts last longer.

I'm ready for the hose connections and the "low rider" canisters, shouldn't take long to finish. Installed the differential pressure gauge while I was in the neighborhood.

Installed the differential oil pressure gauge this afternoon. Couldn't get the plug out for the "After Filter" oil pressure, so I compromised and picked up the "After Cooler" pressure instead. The gauge now shows the pressure drop across the two oil filters and the oil cooler combined. I'll...

Progress report (if D-man wrote this, it would be 15 paragraphs long. :-)). 1) No space below along the frame, especially with a winch drive shaft installed. 2) No space on the firewall.... 3) Heater has to go. 4) Used heater shelf to support a custom made bracket This is where I am at the...

80% better huh...that agrees with Clinto's post. I'll try it, may reduce tire wear too. I have extra front hubs and can simply replace a rear hub with one of them.

RE: Re: RE: BRAKE LIGHT Thanks BC, look at women for example. :-) Good rant ACE, just try to flash your head lights while driving with the push button switch, don't think there is an easy way. With the 3-lever switch you flick the lower lever from dim to park and back (no locking action). Like...

Whichever one you free up, the driving axle will see a big increase in tire wear on that axle. There are several advantages to freeing up the rears but you will need front wheel drive from time to time to make it over little obstacles like curbs, wet grass, slick pavement etc and for that reason...

RE: Re: RE: BRAKE LIGHT Checked two plastic housings and only one of the mounting screws serves as a ground. There is a 50-50 chance of having a bad ground if one of the screws is loose or not properly grounded to the vehicle. So it would make sense to advise that both mounting screws are tight...

Well, it's not hooked up, the linkage is not present. I got answers on this on the pershingmissile group forum and nobody had the retarder operational (this is from people who drove these trucks for years in Germany). Engine braking can cause loss of control on slippery pavement, but is...

Re: RE: BRAKE LIGHT I think Cabell actually meant dielectric grease as in non-conductive. The grease helps prevent corrosion, the metal to metal contact still results from the pressure and twisting action of the components. Using a conductive grease could cause all kinds of problems, bridging...

Aervoe 997B (24084), semi gloss OD.

Desert camo "by the book". Sand, Field Drab and Earth Yellow.

Yorkgulch2, if it helps, send them to my email addy (super_deuce@hotmail.com) and I can post them. The M656 has the swimming feature, which made it my first choice. Both have major componets made of aluminum and rust should be non-existant. They have lots of unique design features. If you get...

There are lots of acessories needed to hook one up including controls, so the value varies accordingly, perhaps from $35 to $250 .

"...usual locked rears" could simply mean that the tandem axles are coupled without a differential (as usual). Is there a separate control on the dash for locking the diffs? I agree with Kenny on the front wheel drive.

Reflective tape was specified for some vehicles (June 1969 TM).

Thanks Cabell, I'm not worried now. :-) Wouldn't want people to think that the clean air deuce bellowed smoke and there are other vehicles besides deuces in the convoy, so if more than one is shown....
