Castle Bravo Welcome to the best Deuce site on the net (other MVs too), but you already knew that. I'm out in Buckeye, Az, been playing with MVs for over 30+ years - know enough just to be dangerous! :-) Right now Ca, N.M., and CO are you closest places on GL to find a Deuce. My friend in...

UPDATE 02-16-09 Well, I'm a moron..........it turns out I ran her out of fuel, it cost me $185.00 to figure that out..........but at least I (eventually) figured it out. The money went for a NAPA electric fuel pump, and hoses and clamps. I tried pumping out the tank, but nothing came out, and...

Offroadchev I installed these tires myself, on stock rims. they are a PAIN, but once you figure out how to do it, it isn't THAT bad. So far they are the best thing I've done to the truck. If you install them yourself, I put the rim I am installing the tire on, on top of a spare rim - I covered...

Thanks for the tips, I'll check the motor mount. Wierd stuff that is NEVER addressed in a manual, is usually the kind of problems I always encounter. A broken motor mount crushing the fuel line, sounds like the kind of stuff that fits in that catagory! As to the siphon hose, my wife mentioned...

Yes, I have fuel in the tank, I tried to siphon it out with no joy, but the hose comes out wet for almost 2 1/2 -3 feet. I wonder if there's gas in the diesel so I was going to syphon it out, and put it in my Deuce, but I can't get it to syphon. What in the world!!?? I like the idea of adding...

I need Help! My CUCV has been down for two weeks I cannot get her to start, she ran real rough, and surged, but got me home about 10 miles if I stayed around 30-40 MPH. The next morning she would not start - even with starting fluid - it's okt he glow plugs are broke. (fried years ago) Reading...

STILL NOT RUNNING, LOOKING FOR ANSWERS........ Let me ask a question......IF, those little hoses that run from injector to injector were leaking, would it cause surging/non-starting issues? My only other thought is the fuel is contaminated with either gas or water. I've got fuel to the...

Ranchhopper: I took that valve out and cleaned it out from both ends with brake claner, I got no residue, I also looked down inside the hole it came out of, and it appers clean to me, no dirt, no gasket residue. I also turned the key "ON" and touched the "hot" leads to their prospective...

Fellow MV'rs: Coming home from work Sat, my CUCV started surging, losing-gaining power, and running rough. I barely made it home about 15 miles at around 30-40 MPH, she wouldn't do any faster - had no power. The last time I had a similar problem was on my FIRST engine, when I put gas instead...

I plan on adding the spin on filters at all locations eventually, just for the convienence, like was quoted above, the stock filter cannisters are a PAIN to get re-sealed, been there, apparently going to be there again. :-( I've had the Deuce almost 4 years now, and have done NOTHING to it, due...

Gentlemen: Thanks for the replies, and information, I ordered new filters from Desert Deuce, but they haven't arrived nor have I received notification that my order was accepted.. ...DOH! I may just clean out all my filters, and cannisters and reuse them until the new stuff arrives, as I'm...

Gentlemen: I'm sure somewhere on this site is a list of part numbers that are innerchangable for us civilians, but due to the slow results of my dial-up webtv, I have had no luck n finding it........DOH! So I throw myself at your mercy, and ask if someone can post the pertinent information I...

Canopy2k I hope it was something that easy, it was definitely some kind of connection between the transmission, and the transfer case. I plan on driving her tomorrow, so we'll see if she works, or strands me on the side of the road again. Thanks for that info.

kennyw: Thanks for the responses. UPDATE: 1523 HRS, 12-27-08 I jacked up the rear end, and had the entire vehicle off the ground on jackstands. I started her up she seemed normal until I put her in Reverse or Drive then it made all kinds of hideous noise. I climbed out to see if the rear...

UPDATE: 1245 Hrs, 12-27-08 I was WRONG about the torque converter. I jacked up the front end, and put her on jackstands, got under, and pulled the pan beneath the torque converter. To my surprise everything looked like it did, when I put it together several years ago. :-) And in response to...

Gentlemen: About 4 years ago, I lost the engine, and installed a surplus HUMMV engine, after swapping all the extrnal parts including the CUCV flex plate. I can't remember if I got a new torque converter, or just re-used the original one. But I "think" I got a new one, and it had more than 3...

Gentlemen: This morning on my way to work, everytime I'd take off from a stop, my Blazer made a weird grinding noise upon taking off, but quieted down within a 100 yrds distance or so, until the next stop. I figured it was the rear end, and figured if it let go, I could continue on in front...

MarineTracs Thanks for the reply and dimensions, at least that covers the M37, but I'm ASSuming (oh-oh) that they're the same for the Deuce. MadDawg308 I have those rear lift bars on my Deuce, I'm guessing they are used in conjunction with the front "paperclips" to "hoist" the Deuce aboard a...

Gentlemen: Does anyone have the specs for the material, and dimensions of USMC "paperclips"? I need a set for my Deuce, and for my M37. Thanks in advance for any assistance in dimensions, drawings, are plans. Semper Fi AZDeuce

I'm interested in your wheels, what brand/type are they, how were they made, do they still have the Budd type safety (split) rim, and how wide are they? Curious in AZ Semper Fi AZDeuce
