...Thats awfully unspecific for vehicle make..Vehicles: 5 Ton, M35,M35A2, M543/M816/M936, Multi-Fuel Engine.....Are they sure it will fit an LDT-465-1C?
Thanks mini...The reason I asked was because in that thread, the colors looked quite different then the website for Rapco. On Rapco's website, it listed the years the specific colors were used, so wanted some expert input. Here's the website with the list of colors and info:
Rapco Paint...
Ok well Its been a while since Ive been in here so I thought Id put this up here. This is more for the guys who were there and saw or experienced 'Animals' in the flesh.
I was flipping through a thread in the Paint and body work section and came upon this...
Oh, I wasnt really saying its worth 3K...that was more of like an example more or less....kinda like what I would do in that situation.... Im not qualified to consulte on these types of things lol
Im by no means a pro mechanic, or a conisuer with enough rep to really weigh in on this, but if it were me honestly I'd walk away and find another truck. As someone else stated, there are plenty of Deuces out there for that price that are far better off mechanically then this one. This one is a...
Last year I had bought some true MIL-SPEC 383 green CARC paint from this company
Mil-Spec Paint Distributor, 2,000 Stocked Products
Was a little bit more pricey then some other places, but they had great service and selection. One of the owners called me as a service rep to inquire that I...
When you try to put the lever in the first gear, does it grind, or does it just not go into the slot or what? The TMs for your transmission are downloadable here on the main page, just look under "deuce TMs" then you will see the one for the transmissions. All I can think of is to take off the...
I know it will all still spin but w/o the d-line installed, wont that keep the front from being driven by the t-case and just become a free wheeling axle? The reason I took it out in the first place was to reduce wear and tear on the front as I never go offroad or need full time 6X6, plus it...
So if a truck does NOT have the dash switch to engage the FWD, then it is a sprag transfer, and only engages FWD when the wheels spin? Ive often wondered this myself, as my truck does not have the switch, I always thought it was full-time 6X6. If this is not the case, maybe I should re-install...
So does anyone here have any baseline EGT readings for a non turned up motor? I turned up my fuel a while back, and recently installed and EGT and boost gauge, which I should have done before hand, but I didnt think about it. Yesterday I drove the deuce to work and coming back up the hill, the...
Thats fantastic. I wonder how much that cost to do. I know who ever did it might have done it for free or whatever, but I mean what something like that would cost. I bet its in the 10's of thousands. I remember that Kenworth T-200 that had dragons and medieval scenery painted on it front to...
Ok, so I know Im going to get alot of "this thread is worthless without pics" , but I just thought Id share any how. But to be fair, I work in a place where photography/video is STRICTLY forbidden...
I was just outside having a smoke sitting on the driver step of my Deuce, and about...
I drove mine in to work today (47.2 miles one way) and out on the freeway, I passed NO ONE an out of all the trucks that passed me, 4 or 5 of them talked to me on the radio and asked where I got " that grungy old army truck" lol...of course I obliged and told them about GL so they could shop...
Ive heard plenty of strange noises come out of my transmission. Most of them are harmless I think. The one that got me was when it started chirping like a bird at idle in neutral. It was my input shaft bearing letting go lol.
I put an EGT probe in my manifold last weekend. I did not put two in because I dont have two, and I dont think its all THAT necessary. I tapped mine about 2 inches above where the turbo and mani meet, and its in the rear head pipe. I know this is not gonna give me a full accurate EGT reading for...
Poor condor418....2 pages in his thread and only about 3 or 4 of them are actual responses to his questionsrofl. Condor, Id say just stick with what your data plates, TM's and local and state laws say when it comes to GCVWR, bigger isnt always better, they watch the weight most of all but...
