    Howdy and welcome from Northern edge of Colorado. Sounds like a good purchase-like to see pics if possible.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Did you try undoing the front engine block mounts a little? if you can raise the front of the engine just an inch it may be enough. not too hard if you can get a good lift on the engine without mucking up the oil pan. by the way, great job moving radiator out of the way without disconnecting...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    plenty of elbow room too! I suppose a small beverage container and lounge chair would be over the top.

    Hey from Colorado

    howdy, welcome to the site from northern colorado. you might also look to past threads (and current) to see if you can find info as someone else may have already been through what you are asking about. pictures are always helpful to you and others.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Hgun--interesting---as the "parking brake" is actually on the transfer case not the drive wheels. that wheel may not be the problem. next time check the drum brake on the back of the transfer case for heat and smoke. if it is always hard to apply the parking brake it is likely the pads are...

    Connecting Rod Bolts and Head Studs

    I remember going thru this last year when I did my gaskets and resurfaced the heads. I found that the development of the engine design was such that it predated a change in "standard" thread designs. seems about WWII the standard of one single thread type was deleted. guess which one. I have...

    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    Wolffrag86--other than having the petition only exist in cyberspace, is there an option to forward it to the legislature in colorado as well as the director of the colorado department of revenue?

    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    Having been to the DMV in colorado and asking fairly detailed questions as well as following the various bills in our congress, it seems apparent that the big problem is our state director of revenue. She has taken it upon herself to re-interpret the laws that was passed and decided it means no...

    Un-Preserve Multifuel

    While I can understand why someone from present times would not want to describe the fact that all oil drains back to the pan on shut down of the engine as a "design feature", nevertheless, it was, I believe, part of the design of the engine. a lot of harleys for example, currently have this...

    Un-Preserve Multifuel

    If you have never done the board method of cutting off the engine's air intake before, there are a couple things to remember. if you take the mushroom cap off the air cleaner body and block the remaining big hole with a board it may not kill the engine. there is a second hole on the rear of...

    M35A2 power steering options?

    I think KIA, the car manufacturer we see in commercials, makes an "A3" or "A4" version of the deuce that is used in Korea? If so this could be something they use. Perhaps someone converted it from Korean parts. Otherwise, those look like fairly large tires for an A2 deuce so some rubbing...

    WOW!, Today Was a really HAPPY day.

    Congratulations. The good part is well worth the effort it took. To have your "tiny's" be a part of it, no words can describe.

    Lam Son 719--Living & Transporting

    F N A--not sure where its gone but it sure is gone. What I wonder is where did my body go. sometimes my brain still feels like an 18 year old kid. my body never does any more. some memories are so vivid its like it happened yesterday. usually the ones that you half chuckle at, half dang...

    66' M35A2 in-cab heater/ coolant filter install

    Rolling Thunder 19--I assume you close both valves to remove the filter. But have you noticed any draining with your bypass line to the heater core/ filter when you remove the filter? seems like it would need a shutoff to prevent drain back from the water pump connection?

    '71 M35A2 air compressor lubrication

    TAZZJR--I did a head job and replaced all the gaskets. several accessory mounts, the air compressor included, presented some challenges. If you are referring to two of the four large nuts on the compressor mount studs holding it to the mounting flange on the block, you have two options...

    So, after you revived your old thread it made me curious about what happened to the deuce? any backstory?

    Head gasket repair walk through - go to post #31!

    It occurs to me that these might benefit from a group purchase. I have not explored the possibility with ARP or anyone else. But seeing as how pretty much everyone that owns a deuce long term will likely have to do this at some point whether its because of gasket failure, freeze plug failure(...
