OK, I've searched this site for "electric passenger seat" in the Deuce forum, and I searched the term "electric" in both the -10 and -20 technical manuals. And I STILL need to ask this question: In some of the dome light threads, people talk of patching into electrical access behind or...

I wasn't sure what forum to put this in; I hope this is the right one. This is not mine, but I met a fellow down in Campbellsville, KY who has this firetruck in his yard. He said it's a 1942 model, said it runs, said he's put money into the engine and brakes. Said he would take $3,000 for it...

Anyone in the Louisville, KY area have a compressor pulley wrench (used to remove / tension the compressor belt) that I could borrow for a day?

Now general cooling system questions (edited) I've got the radiator coming off today (it's draining now) and my plan is to replace the thermostat, of course check the belts and at least tension the compressor belt while I'm in there. I'll probably replace the hoses unless they look like new...

Eight months after winning my deuce on GL, I finally got my plates today. She's finally street-lethal. I mean legal. :D While I was in the clerk's office, a vietnam vet came in and was giving her a good looking-over. He said he was a motorpool mechanic and had worked on them. When all our...

Finally got the bumper and grill primed and re-installed. They were the rustiest parts. There's more to be done with hood and fenders but I wanted to get her reassembled to FINALLY go and get plates!!! I did have to straighten the bumper a little using my arbor press. Turned out great--all...

I realize the operators manual also says to park in Neutral but doesn't say why. Why is this?

So I've had my deuce since December, and still don't have plates so she hasn't left the driveway but I've had her running several times until the heater blows warm air. Never leaked a drop. Last week we had a couple days in the 80's for the first time, and I hadn't run the truck in about 3...

My front bumber is slightly bent--enough that it rubs the fender on the drivers side. The bend is in the "straight" part, so it also is messing up the geometry of the holes (I have the bumper off the truck now for sanding and priming). Could a body shop straighten it out you think? I have...

Was crawling under the deuce today and noticed this threaded hole. Am I missing a plug here? WHOOPS, NEVERMIND. Found the answer in a 4-year-old thread with almost the same title. The answer is no. Sorry.

Some of the Deuces currently on GL at Redstone, and the M109, I had previewed when they were up in Frankfort. Not all of them, but some. If you are interested in a particluar lot, PM me and I'll tell you any notes I have on it. All best, Joe p.s. I'm not going to look up EVERY auction and...

I wonder if anyone would be available in early March to recover an item from GL for me at Norfolk, VA and ship it to me? I'm sure we could figure out some compensation for your time and trouble, be it barter or cash. Small item, UPS shipment needed. Thanks.

Found this while researching WMO, looking for filtering ideas. Guy was fined for using off-road fuel with WMO in his tank. http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/dev/my-free-fuel-cost-me-1000-t240817.html?t=240817 EDIT: I worded that poorly above: he was NOT running off-road diesel. He was...

Okay, drove the deuce home from Frankfort a little over a month ago, and just today got the title. That means I can get plates now. Yay! But, in about a month (at the latest) I need to make a 350-mile round trip to Piqua, OH and back to pick up my ammo trailer. It's being stored at my...

If fiberglass troop seats have been sitting around, possibly for years, in a warped or curved position (not creased or broken) will they come back straight? Maybe in the sun? I don't know how fiberglass behaves.

March 3rd: I'll be driving my deuce from Louisville to Piqua, Ohio (N. of Dayton) and then returning on March 5th early. On the way up I'll be empty and towing nothing; on the way back I'll be towing an empty ammo trailer. If I can haul anything for anyone else along that rather small route...

I have a great M332 ammo trailer that I can't wait to get home and work on (it's being stored at my employer's shop in Ohio until I can pick it up). In looking it over I found some notes inside the box in the front, including an inspection tag from May 2009 stating "Air service line dry...

[LEFT]From the -20 maintenance manual: Can I just re-use the old spacers, or if not, what is a suitable replacement? Tried a search for "oil drain spacer" turned zero results.

I know we've had a lot of people recover trucks from Frankfort lately and Knox lately, and many of them are Kentucky members. I've been looking at Gillespie paint to re-paint mine, and although the paint is reasonable, the HAZMAT and shipping fees are high. The supplier suggests that significant...

At long last got to bring her home today. Drove her home, about 40 miles (no big deal compared to a lot of folks, I know!) Oil pressure stayed right at the middle of the gauge, air pressure stayed in the top 1/3. Actually the air is STILL full hours later...do I need to release it or anything...
