No questions, no deep insights....just having fun driving my truck and gently offroading. The pictures do not show how steep the embankments really are. Yet, the truck is geared so low that it can idle up the grade without stalling in low first. The grade is steep enough for the front bumper...

I searched and sort-of found a few clues, but I am asking your help anyway. 1) airpack is the non-rebuildable style 2) when applying brakes lightly/normally, I could hear air escaping. Stand on the brakes at an intersection and the buzzer comes on. 3) all of a sudden yesterday, the brake pedal...

So I finally mounted my medium tow bar. I looked at the previous threads on the topic and decided to put it onto the front bumper, in pieces, for ease of handling. I used Grade 8 threaded rods in place of two of the shackle bracket bolts and drilled one hole into the bumper support bracket. So...

Last weekend the excellent Merrickville, Ontario car show - for the first time - had MVs on display. I brought my deuce, my friend had his brand-new-to-him M816 and another local collector had brought a couple of M1008s and a mule. The M816 ended up with empty batteries, after having spent the...

I ordered a 5 ton speedometer adapter from a vendor to compensate for my taller tires. Turns out, the two ends (speedometer cable and connection to the transfer case) on my deuce are "male" (male cable ends) , whereas the 5 ton part has a male and a female end. I thought, ok, maybe I can swap...

I flipped the hubs a long time ago and did what seemed logical to do: spin the thimbles all the way onto the lug bolts to re-use the rear lug nuts. Lately, I have been reading that one should not do this, as it can cause the lug bolts to break. So....I need to get 24 front lug nuts and take the...

I looked at the existing threads and got so-so info. 1) removal of the IP is recommended - is this really necessary? 2) Westech offers newly made hoses (have not heard back from him, yet). I'd rather go with new material on this one than with OEM stock of unknown age. Any feedback on his...

What is your opinion on this (a little long winded, but stay with me): It relates to a tandem axle truck (not MV), but you guys know everything!) Cummins ISM 400 (I think) engine, equipped with emergency shutoff (a spring-loaded flap in the air intake that can be triggered to snap shut)...

I am posting this as I am walking outside to take out the speedo and tach from my truck. I am gonna SELL those! They are worth 200 bucks! Speedometer Tachometer Clock Gauge Repair Restoration This gauge set goes well with the $100.000 Deuce from eBay!

I searched for a specific posting....and it is not steelandcanvas' post. There is a good writeup of a complete overhaul of the springer seat, shock and all...and I can't find it. About 2-3 years ago. I KNOW I read it!

Hello, guys! I need a medium towbar taken from 27813 (Black Creek, NC area; near Wilson, off the I95) to 13669 (Ogdensburg, NY) to a commercial address. Any chance?

M35A2C with comms shelter S-280 AND MAN trucks Pima Air and Space Museum, Tucson, AZ. A few days reprieve from Canadian sub-zero temperatures. I was pleased to see that the museum's M35 is not as nice as mine! :lol: Pics of the two MAN trucks are further down!

By chance, I found myself watching this episode and was on the verge of tears! Breaking Point These guys obtained a pristine up-armored M54 with a massive protective cage and first tested what the thing was capable of. That was the fun part. It cut a swath through the forest, snapping and...

Oh, well...it is this time of the year. "Queen Lola" spends the winter in a (heated) former factory hall. It is getting cold here and we'll get snow this week. I do not want to bathe the truck in salt water and so I'll only troll the forum over the winter. I am already missing going for drives!

...because an XL coffee fits into it perfectly, the nut is heavy enough to sit on the flat middle tunnel beside the gearshift and will not budge, even on a rough country highway. :-))

My wife likes riding in my truck and, to keep it that way, I need to make getting in and out a bit easier for her. She has a hard time with the height from the stock step to the door sill and ends up using the top of the battery door as a step, which makes me cringe. Any ideas on a step setup...

Ok, so you have the plastic air wiper motors that many people hate and yours does not work - like mine. If you absolutely need to spend $80-100 on a new one, do not read any further. If you want to see if you can fix yours, here is what you need: philips screw driver flat screw driver...

New brake shoe adjustment difficulty - yes, I read the TM Disclaimer: I have, use and read the pertinent TM and also searched. I replaced, a little while ago, full brakes, all around; cylinders, flex lines, shoes, hardware. I adjusted the brakes exactly as per TM - at least, tried to - and...

Long weekend and getting fed up with having to back up with my 4-ways on. The ideal time to install backup lights. I used 2 spare "lollipop light" brackets and mounted them upside down behind the rear composite lights. For lights I used small fog lights from a tractor supply place and sprayed...

This is the Deuce forum. Relax, I do not want to order an econobox. http://military.kiamotors.com/KM25/Overview.html The grille is....beautiful in the eye of the beholder, but that could be remedied. It appears that it conforms to the standard hood sweep. In a way, it would be so cool to...
