There's a marketplace listing near me for an 800 series wrecker that's, well, I would say parade ready for 70k, been listed 3 years, can't figure out why no one wants it..... 😆. Last December I picked my deuce up for a touch above 8k, hardtop, winch, airshift T case, heat, nice seats, leaking...

25 ftlbs you say? No. These are so tight the words "cheater bar" and "fuel lines" were used in the same sentence...... Still aren't off. At least the leak has more than likely been traced, now I just hope everything comes off without breaking and the head isn't cracked. Appreciate the help

Not recent but I'm pretty sure @Jeepsinker has done both. If you don't want to mess with the trans, either rockwell or our version (cant remember 100% which) has a 4.90:1 swap for the axles, definitely not cheap though.

Tried to upload a pic from the TMs, site said no. TM 9-2320-361-10 page 1-21 says if engine runs rough while using any alternative fuel, add 10-30 percent diesel fuel until it levels off. I thought I read in there that any gasoline was supposed to be mixed 50/50 with diesel but couldn't find...

Google says the A2 and A3 ratios are the same, 6.72:1.

In another life while I was a service manager for a used car dealer, I had to order a transfer case bearing for a Chevy pickup, kid on the phone asked me if it was 2 or 4 wheel drive..... Almost as good as ordering windshield wipers and getting the same question.

I've read people have used 24v Walbro in tank marine pumps with success, a bit pricier than some but still half price of an original pump. I really like simps idea though, hard to foul a pump out if it's not in the constant fouling grossness that is the deuce fuel cell.

That's a nice truck!!! Glad everything went well, or well enough anyway. Now the fun begins, pmcs and wish lists 😆

I have mine titled as a commercial vehicle for personal use, no restrictions and I can pull whatever I want with it (for myself). This however is good news for those who register theirs as HMVs, as the whole one month thing was ridiculous.

I picked mine up from the Manton area, drove 42 to 66, (I don't like 10), 20 to 30 and bam, 4hrs later we were home. Cruised those nice back roads at 48mph, 12ish mpg, and only had to downshift for 2 hills 😆. Hope your trip goes well, the weather stays favorable, and the traffic is light.

Words to live by right there. Can't wait to hear it take off

Look for dents/scratches/marring on the frame near the dent in the driveshaft, I've seen many a bent one from fork lift loading. The off balance driveshaft may have caused the crack as well if it were severely out of balance, but I'd think you'd feel that going down the road. If you could post a...

What model unit is that? I need something like it for the boatyard

So after measuring everything twice over with tapes and scales, all is adjusted properly, pretty sure I'm just an idiot with low transmission oil....... Then after checking, turns out I'm an idiot with too much transmission oil, or so I believe. I did the knuckle test and rather than having a...

Anyone have a guess as to what the rotational travel of the throwout lever is supposed to be? In the picture posted here of the pulled transmission it looks like it sits at rest at 11 o'clock, mine is sitting at rest with all linkages connected at about 12 o'clock, and the complete pedal motion...

Mine are a little..... Creative. I think what you're looking for is in here, unless you have electric wiper motors.

Here she is guys, my first MV, 1969 Kaiser Jeep M35A2 W/W. Heart transplant was done at some point, the original engine replaced with an LDT-465 MFD 2/92 Yes, you really do feel all 4 of those horsepower 😆 Removed a cobbled 12v power supply and began wiring my 24v panel in Got...

I agree, if not this truck, my next one will definitely be done up like this.

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/fuel-storage-and-filtering.217862/ Some good info there https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/waste-oil-filter.209312/ Some pics in there and more info. Filtering is very important, lots of ways to do it. Find what you like is my philosophy.

The green is a bit lighter than I'd like, but all in all for a little rattle can and time, fantastic coverage. We'll see how it looks after clear coat.
