    Did I use the right grease?

    Probably a little too late to ask this now, but I picked up 2 large tubs of this particular grease from NAPA to repack all my bearings, knuckles and CV's. Used about 2.5lbs per knuckle. It was all NAPA had and at $12 a tub it was a good deal....I guess. Anyway, I am pretty sure it will do just...

    The Sorcerer

    If anyone hasn't seen it yet, get it! Great movie, very suspenseful, well made and has lots of M211 action. It's getting to be a rare DVD though, I believe you can get it on Amazon.

    Using a Multifuel turbo on a gas engine

    Just wonderin, has anyone tried using the Multifuel type turbo on another application? I mean, what makes a diesel turbo different from a gas engine turbo? As I understand it, the only things that make them different are air flow ratings. Obviously diesels will use a **** of a lot more air than...

    Conservative max weight ratings

    It seems to me that the Military rated both the Deuce's and 5 ton's very conservatively in the weight category. Even the old 10 ton was in NO way a 10 ton truck. I have heard of them hauling as much as 300 Tons!!! I guess it was a matter of how much the vehicles COULD haul whilst still retaining...

    Diameter of axle boot

    Can anyone here take a measurement of their steering knuckle boots? Specifically where it clamps onto the knuckle. I would like to see if the M35A2 boots will fit onto the earlier GMC knuckles which are quite similar, but use a more complicated setup of seals and garter springs to keep things...

    Gear oil for our GMC's. Yellow metal safe?

    I used to think gear oil was gear oil until I did some reading of my own. It seems that a lot of todays gear oils use detergents that actually eat up the metal parts inside certain gear boxes. The metals at risk being "yellow metals" that many old vehicle gear components contain. Even the M35...

    Can anyone decipher this?

    I was not sure where to post this, but this is the most active section on the forum. Mods, please feel free to move the post to a more appropriate section if need be. After doing some history on my deuce I was found the truck was once marked with the number WTY9AA which translates to it having...

    Using original brake lines

    Provided the steel lines are in good shape with no rust, dents, cracks or other externally visible damage, is there any harm in keeping our trucks original steel brake lines? My truck is a little older than most deuce owners, nearly 58 years old. But it's been an Arizona truck it's entire life...

    Pyle 24V to 12V converter

    Voltage converter installation help I installed this converter in my M211 so I can keep the 455's ignition 12V and the rest of the truck stock 24V. I was told this would work just fine. I have everything wired in, it was super easy. Except for 1 wire which I can't figure out. PSWNV720, Pyle...

    Clearing up axle seal confusion

    There seems to be a lot of confusion on axle seals and what each seals intended purpose is. I thought i'd clear this up for those who are new to these trucks or are currently covered in axle grease at the moment. -The inner axle shaft seal is designed to keep the oil out of the steering...

    My CV joint fell apart!

    So I had the front right axle shaft out on my M211 for a clean and repack job a few days ago. Wrapped it in newspaper to keep it dirt free for the time being. So this morning when I was carrying it to my table I felt the CV joint separate and the ball bearings come loose. Once on my table I...

    Understanding terms

    For those just getting into big vehicles. Can't tell you how often I get people telling me I have "split rims" on my truck and how dangerous they are. Well yeah, they are dangerous. But they aren't split rims. :lol: Stovebolt Tech Tip -- New Wheels for an old truck

    Idea for push button air tank drain

    It would be uber cool! The idea I had started with the pull cable type drain valves that most of us are already using on our deuce's. Then I simply thought about those "push pull" tiny electric solenoids that have small but powerful piston that....push and pulls. I thought, what if I could just...

    Air Pak Rebuild

    Seems these can be very difficult to find for the GMC AIR PAK. Nobody I know of has them. From what I have heard other kits for other AIR PAK's can be used but there is usually 1 or 2 seals that are not compatible. Has anyone recently rebuild theirs and with what?

    A note on Latex "house paints".

    Awhile back I made the decision to paint my 54 GMC deuce with regular old latex house paint from my local home improvement store. I tried both Behr Ultra and Valspar Duramax. Both are exteriors, paint/primer in 1, flat. I had the colors matched using a NOS part off the truck. I painted less than...

    Junk piston

    Does anyone here have a junk or unusable NHC 250 piston laying around? I would love to have one as a desk piece just because they are so darn huge.

    Pictures request

    I know this is a pretty fair favor to ask, but can somebody here take some pictures for me of their GMC's compressor? I need pictures of each line coming off the compressor and what it hooks up to. If someone could even put a note next to each line describing what it is (vent, oil line, water...
