    A/C in the Deuce using TM Americas alternator mounts

    The local NAPA in Warner Robins Ga carries A/C hoses and fittings. They had to order the size 13 female to female fittings though. It took a couple days for them to come in. I was charged $130.00 for the fittings, hose and assembly. Not a bad deal since the local A/C shop told me $300 to do the...

    A/C in the Deuce using TM Americas alternator mounts

    Long about January of this year I got an A/C kit from a fellow steelsoldiers member just north of Vegas and I still lived in San Diego. Well I am finally done with the install in Macon Ga. It just took a little while to get it all in and working. I had the heater in, plumbed, wired and...

    bobber axle question.

    Not to say blocks are good because I'd rather not have the 4 inch blocks under mine, but I've towed combined deuce + trailer loaded to 36,000 lbs from San Diego Ca to Gainesville fl. Prior to that I beet on mine pretty hard in the so cal off road areas. You just have to know it will have axle...

    Nothing special, just a bobber with air ride.

    Great looking ride. Hope to one day have bags under the rear of mine

    Today was a great day

    I had a starter hang up like yours. It took out the #2 wire from the alternator to the starter too. I didn't know it at the time though. So after I put the starter back in I had no charge. The truck would crank and run. Just wouldn't put out voltage. It took a few days to figure that one out. I...

    Today was a great day

    Today my deuce rolled under its own power for the first time in 6 months. After getting the starter rebuilt. Rewiring the charging system. Installing TMAmericas alternator kit. Relocating the primary fuel filter. Installing an SI27 alternator. Replacing all the belts. And installing two new...

    Busted Cam Shaft

    I guess that's why it has so few miles on it. It was just too big

    Busted Cam Shaft

    After a very long delay and a few issues the motor is now running. I put it all together and fired it up for all of 10 minutes. It poured smoke out the exhaust. So I pulled the injectors and sprayed a bunch of PB Blaster down each cylinder. I figured It had a stuck ring on one of the cylinders...

    Cat 3208 swap in a bobbed deuce

    The Spicer 7041 gear ratios are, 2.31 Double Low, 1.21 Low, 1-1 direct, and .83 OD. Unfortunately I have been measuring and have come to the conclusion that a bobbed Deuce doesn't have enough room to run the Cat, Allison, Spicer, and T-case. So now I am going to have to look for another Deuce so...

    Cat 3208 swap in a bobbed deuce

    I'm running a bobbed deuce. And my friend ownes high angle driveline. So driveshafts won't be an issue. I'll take some pictures of the brownie box tonight after work.

    Cat 3208 swap in a bobbed deuce

    I'm not sure what the Allison is but I know it doesn't have overdrive. Although there is a spicer 7014 brownie box behind it. The spicer has 4 gears. Double low, low, 1 to 1, and overdrive. It is a cable shift set up. I'd have to move the transfer case to use it. I am thinking I might try to fit...

    Cat 3208 swap in a bobbed deuce

    So there is nothing wrong with my bobbed Deuce's motor. It has 40,000 miles on it and I put 37,000 of those miles on it. But I've got this cat 3208 with an Allison hooked to it. I want to swap in the Cat. Am I crazy. The cat has 36,000 miles on it. Its a 250 hp version. I tow a lot and daily...

    What is This

    I didn't try to start it. It has 22,000 miles on it according to the current owner and the odometer. Thanks for the model number. I could jump it with my Deuce since the batteries are dead in the wrecker. It has been sitting for a few years. The guy also has an old REO Deuce in about the same...

    What is This

    I was driving around Macon today and found this. Can y'all tell me what it is and if it is worth the $5200.00 asking price. The cable on the crane is broke and the seats are completely rotted down to the bare metal and springs. Thanks.

    Bobbed 5 ton finished on 4th of July

    Good looking ride

    Changed alternator and still no charge

    It was open and I am assuming shorting against the clamp behind the exhaust. I couldn't see it because of the exhaust flex pipe. Once I removed that it was easy to find. But of course I had already pull the harness covering off by that point. I don't know if it was actually grounding out because...

    Changed alternator and still no charge

    Today I cut the wrap off of the wiring harness running down the passenger side of the frame. The harness that has the #2 wire running from the alternator to the starter. I found a spot that was open to the air behind the exhaust flex coupling. I patched the area with liquid tape, rewrapped the...
