How 'bout the oil lines under the IP while you're at it? gimpy is the man for those. BTW, I wanted some...

Yeah, this needs to stop, or we’re gonna lose one or two valuable members. Agree to disagree, learn to walk away, learn to be Ok with being wrong, whatever. Not that big of a deal, but I sure do appreciate all the homework being done. Pretty sure the two (very old) hoses I’ve pulled out of tanks...

7529034 is your number. Other is frame rail part number. I'm rusty on my deciphering but check out these articles. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?162397-Deuce-ID-article-missing!

I did it. Check out my '70 deuce thread in my sig, I think there are pics.

Welcome, good looking truck, and thanks for serving! If you're gonna 6-wheel, air shift. I use mine in the desert a lot. Can't afford to be hoping she grabs. Want it on when I want it and not when I don't.

Betcha not enough CCA, either batts too small or too old. When I got my truck, PO had put two small batts in it. Fully charged, wouldn't start without a jump. I think they need group 31 size, about 1,000 CCA each.

Load test. What does the voltage meter in the truck (or better yet, a meter on the batts themselves) do when you attempt to crank?

In my (vast ;-) ) experience with other vehicles, lockers and larger tires make a huge difference. But skill can negate it. Other thing is you guys are in mud and I’m in the desert...

Man, I'd love to have some big NDTs/NDCCs for my deuce... Ya know what would be really awesome? Some off road ability comparo videos.

At a glance, looks like a new version is up. http://www.militarytrader.com/military-vehicles/dating-deuce-g-742-2-12-ton-cargo-truck-production

How about fuel conditioners that help prolong seal and gasket life?

The deuce that runs so smooth I thought it had a motor swap...

Howdy neighbor.

Yes, It's magnetic. I'm betting blown head gasket. Sounds like mine, plus leaking coolant. Pull the muffler off if it has one. Pull the air cleaner off. Pull the belts off or loosen - process of elimination. Crank it with the fuel off. If it pops, clangs, bangs, chuffs, poofs, anything other...

Cool. Do it. I've been wanting to. Friend had a deuce that had been rebuilt in '91 and hardly used. Ran so smooth you wouldn't think it was a deuce. That's my goal eventually. Cattlerepairman went pretty deep in one I think. Do the LDS upgrades. Piston squirters, intake rockers. There are...

Something is wrong with that sucker.

Y'all come play in the desert! I'll give you a tour of Superstition, guaranteed to have a blast.

Pull one of the injectors out of the engine. With it out, re-connect it to the fuel line. Make sure it is pointed in a safe direction, the pressure can penetrate the skin. Then crank the engine. It should shoot 3-4 feet. The injectors have a tiny hole and a spring holding back the pressure from...

Trial by fire lots of reading and help from jeepsinker. I was determined to get that thing running and I worked on it non stop til I did. Then I was gonna rebuild the whole truck until I stumbled on my nice ‘70 for a song. My only concern in hindsight was galling up the IP, but it did have fuel...
