    Deuce Mudflaps

    I removed my mudflaps to replace the bed, and I really like the rear without them, especially with the singled out hubs. Has anyone else removed them and not re-installed them? I am still re-building the rear, and have to paint, so I haven't put them back on yet. Can't decide whether they...

    How do I bring in a Canadian M101 (M416) from Canada?

    I need to check on a few things under light trailer, so until I know for sure, which I don't, I will concur with the inspection requirement. Looking further into it, It seems that the State wants money for everything, so YES, the trailer needs an inspection. However, I have never looked for...

    How do I bring in a Canadian M101 (M416) from Canada?

    Many of these trailers have come into the US, so it is documented in Customs data bases. Call a freight forwarder like Purolater Courier, they can get it in for you with their paperwork. Then you just have to pick it up at a terminal on the US side. This will be the easiest! As for the...

    Deuce manufacturers

    Like rifles, the manufacturers who get contracts to produce vehicles for the military have to conform and build the product to the specifications set forth by the contract. Usually the contract calls for an excessive overbuild and because it is a military contract it can be quite lucrative for...

    Radiator leak= me dumbfounded

    Yes, my M35A2 does the same thing. I replaced all the hoses, thermostat, and radiator when I first took delivery back in October '08. Flushed the system with fresh water, drained and replaced all the antifreeze. To this day, the coolant is still sitting in the neck, and I still get the slight...

    I have one hot brake drum

    I just recently found the same problem with mine. It is my right rear, rear. There are those adjustment screws, and small cover plates that are on the backing plate. Jack the wheel up, remove the covers on the backing plate. Now rotate the wheel and see if it sticks anyplace. loosen the...

    Looking for a Smaller Deuce Steering Wheel

    I removed mine because it was cracked everywhere. What a PIA! I should have bought the puller from Saturn, but opted not to since I would have only used it once. However with that said, I bought a wheel from saturn, and it appears to be similar to the duece wheel but it is thinner and is...

    M416 Axle Nut size???

    Without taking the grease cap off, and undoing the cotterpins to play with the sizes, can anyone tell me what the socket size of the M416 Axle nuts are? Are deep sockets required? I believe they are the same for the M101 CDN2, and this is what the Canadian manual gives as a size. Anyone...

    Thank You John Tennis, Thank You, Thank You

    Excellent news! I have the Primary, and the Oil Filter kits. They are really great. I just replaced my fuel tank with a like new one that I picked up from a scrap truck, and I got a New Sending unit and Pump as part of the deal. Clean isn't even the word. Like New is more correct. With the...

    Do I really want a heater?

    My truck didn't come with one, and I drove it all winter here in NY this year. As long as I was buttoned up, it didn't bother me, and we had an exceptionally cold winter. I had a concern about the rain last week, since it was chilly, only about 40, but once I got moving and cracked the window...

    Practical uses for a Deuce

    People asked me the same question. "What are you going to do with that?" Now if it was me that someone said to, "I'm buying a military truck." I would have replied, "Very cool, enjoy it. How did you get it?" But that is because I have really great hobbies, and appreciate something different...

    Axle key-way seal wedges...Help!

    Thank you for the information, however I really would rather use the rubberized gasket material, as it will outlast the cork. I hope to only have to do each hub once. Only as needed of course, but once is enough. I'm gong totake wild guess and get the 1/8" as if it is more than this, it's...
