How do you adjust the air pressure in a deuce? One deuce I have holds about 110-120 PSI & the other only goes up to about 90 PSI. The 90 PSI truck is a pain when I have to use air tools to do anything, because it has to air up 100% to get each lug off/on. But, the other one can take off 2-3...

I have a number of vinyl cab covers that are seperated from the front strip that attaches to the windshield. How have you guys fixed that? Pics? Also.... I have a canvas cab cover that is ripping/has ripped at some seams. How do I fix that? Just sew it up? Or do I glue it & then sew it...

Well.....I made it. Very slooooowy. Just to fill you in, in case you dont know....I bought a M109A3 in Ft Drum, NY (about 475 mies away from me). My "friends" were all jumping at the chance to drive my deuce home & I was going to drive the M109A3 home. BUT, 2 days before I had to leave, they...

Before I get yelled at....I did a search and this was the closest thread I could find ---> http://steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=17082 Now...for my questions.... Both of my "legal" (tagged & insured) deuces appear to not have the front wheels aligned correctly. The...

My engine has looked all oily since I got it. So....when I changed the fuel & oil filters, I soaked everything with engine cleaner, let it work & then washed it off. Dried overnight & then drove around. When I lifted the hood up, the ENTIRE drivers side of the engine & under the hood was...

It is getting cold. My old (25 years) bones dont like it. ;) One of my deuces has a "multifuel heater"....not the hot water kind. The switches under the dash are run/off/start & hi/lo. I turned the truck on, waited for the buzzer to shut up, the turned the switch to start....nothing...

Does the airshift front axles affect speed/power? I have 2 deuces with sprag that would BLOW the others off the road! They go up steep hills in 5th gear & wont drop below 55. NO loss of power when they are driven, and they feel like race trucks. Is this a coincidence? Or does the sprag have...

What are common problems for the CUMMINS NHC-250 engine? I am going to pick up a M818 & XM818 soon, and it would greatly help me if I knew what problems I could face on the way home (450 miles one way). Thanks in advance!
