CUCV/LSSV could do it, so could M880/M890. I would call them quasi-MV at best. I drove a CUCV around on my duty shifts when I was in Saudi. It got me where I was going.

You got here before I did. Welcome. :-D

I eventually want to make it switchable so I can have pure diesel in one tank & whatever alt fuel in the other. To start off though, just going to have both feed at the same time.

There must be a way to convert these to a two cylinder brake system. Why scrap when you can convert? Of course, governments are half insane & the other half stupid.

I was thinking of putting a 2nd fuel tank in place of the spare tire mount since I plan to run the 395s and mount the spare in the bed at the front center (hopefully between the troop seats). Has anyone else done that before?

Those look very nice! Congrats!

If you are willing to mention "who I think you bought it from", would you send me a private note with the name? I'm new and would appreciate avoiding bad experiences before they occur.

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this question (I'm still new to forums), but since it is along the general subject, I thought I would ask here. From what I've read, after driving the truck for a while, it should be idled for 5-min to allow the turbo to cool down. That said, when...

Beers after work???

Thanks for the photos. I think I will need to fit something to work from the cab since I'm guessing that opening the side panel on the hood will be a bit tough with the snorkel installed.

So as a near future M35A2 owner, as long as it starts and runs fine when I pick it up & I don't mess with the IP, I should not have to worry any about a runaway? I'm already planning to pick up a CO2 extinguisher to have with me when I drive the truck home (1700mi).

Thanks for the info. Guess I could always carry a 500 pound anchor in the back & have it drop out the back with a long chain & just start grabbing at stuff to stop with. :-D Has anyone ever thought of putting the disc brake on the drive shaft as a backup? I saw that on some big truck years...

If you lose the brakes, can't you just down shift and shut the motor off, letting the engine compression do the braking? I've only been registered on Steel Soldiers 2-days, but this site & everyone here is providing so much valuable information to me as I am getting close to buying my first...

It has been a while since you posted this note. I was wondering, how did the shutoff valve work for you? It seemed like a great idea and I was thinking of doing the same.

Do the super single 2-piece wheels allow you to run tubeless? I've seen videos of the split rim wheels & that they need tubes (and seem a pain in the arse to work with). If possible, I'd like to go tubeless.

Ok, I don't have my Deuce yet and am reading all I can to get prepared both mentally and financially. When you say you lost 5th gear, how do you mean? I'm pretty sure the cog didn't drop out of a slot in the transmission. Were the teeth eaten up by other gears (if you can't find em, grind...

Can the single reservoir brake system be converted to a dual system (yank from an A3)? I didn't see anything about this possible option in the word doc.

Question on fueling Greetings All, this is my first post since registering. First off, glad you got your new deuce home safely and didn't leave engine parts along the road. Hopefully after cleaning the fuel system & filters, your deuce will be just fine. I finally am getting funds to put...
