    Trans sqweeks and squeels in 5th

    Today I went and drove through a bunch of snow trying to get to my buddies cabin staying in1st, 2nd and 3rd all day. I used the winch a few times. About half wayback down the mountain the trans started to sound a bit off in 3rd. So when I got off the mountain I checked the oil level it was a bit...

    Bobbed daily driver and thanks

    I bought three sets of full hydro steering with pumps rams and orbital valves for a smokin deal the other day so I am going to use one set for this truck. John Fisher has dibs on another set so there is an extra laying around for another project down the road.

    Bobbed daily driver and thanks

    I installed a 4 inch magnaflow. I cut the pipe just below and above the clamp the welded the clamp below the muffler so I can easily remove the muffler if I need to. It is alot quieter now. Still loud but much more tolerable.. I also am using a Ford Aerostar seat. So much more comfortable.

    M105 troop carrier

    I just won this today and am curious about it. I assume it is a troop carrier mod. Are the sides and troop seats easily removable? I can't wait to pick it up.

    Is a Deuce a redneck truck?

    Redneck truck Yep I drive my Bobbed Deuce and a standard Deuce around Lancaster Ca and Edwards Air Force base. I have been called a redneck for many years by the way I dress and act. So I'm not sure if it's the truck that makes me a redneck or me that makes the truck a redneck. When I get to...

    Synthetic oil

    I drained the oil tonight and put in Rotella 15W40. Sounds normal again all the little noises I heard are gone. Glad I didn't drive on the other oil. Although with changing the oil filters twice in three days my wife is looking at me like I've got a third eyeball. It should be really clean for a...

    Synthetic oil

    I haven't gotten around to changing the oil yet. But I will before I drive it again. My buddy has been using it in his F350 PSD For three years now. I understand that the Deuce is a bit different than your new trucks. On those grounds and on the fact that I want my Deuce to live a long and...

    M105 trailer axles uses

    I have a couple of left over M105 trailer axles from previous projects. I have a 1969 Zeiman trailer with a bent axle. I would like to use the M105 axles to replace the Zeiman axles. Do ya'll think the hub extension on the M105 can be redrilled to an 8 lug pattern. The width is almost right...
