from mitchell on demand "Remove belts and lower pulley. Remove Harmonic damper with puller. Pry old seal from cover. Drive new seal in with open side towards the engine using a driver (J22102)" I suggest that you can use a deep socket to drive the new seal in. In no case directly...

I stand corrected....I do recall that the inflation was a serious issue and that lowering pressures did improve floatation and overall ability to negotiate very loose soils. This was on a History channel show about the DUKW with Veteran's speaking about the truck and its versatility.

Awww CRAP!!!! I just put 53's on my F111 Everything??????

Does it look like this...if it does, it should be a gasser and is a rolling machine shop. This truck has what is known as Shop set number two which includes a welder along with other machine shop equipment. The weight is right at the top end of what the deuce will handle and it is very heavy...

I was reading a story about the DUKW's hauling supplies up onshore at Iwo and they normally would run the pressures at 7 psi in sand, but the sand was so fine that they had to go down to 5 psi to keep from getting stuck heading up the beach. NDTs are very adaptable depending on how you use...

Lets see...let's say 6 tons of truck, empty, no power steering.... brakes that are adequate but not much more than that...... great big tires...65 MPH....oh, don't let me forget... no roll bar, or other type of protection for the driver and occupants.... Not a good plan if you ask me...

:ditto: RL

If you are lucky it could be one of the tri-equine Multifuel powered Armored Chariot with the optional Knife edge hub spinners.... that would be way cool!!!!!! Be sure to post a video when you fire that baby up and take it for a spin.... Inquiring members are dying to see that thing!!!!!

I had no idea that Carnac had a 747 too!!!!!

The screw holding the lock barrel in is a torx. GM columns are the same pretty much from when the locking column was introduced until the newer style interiors in the late 90's and possibly into the 2000's. Steering wheel puller is a must. A column spring compression tool is handy and...

That switching locomotive would ride a heck of a lot better on rubber tires instead of those old fashioned steel wheels. I would mention that the 395s will pick that engine up a bit and the top end will increase at least 40% over the stock 36" steel wheels. I would swap the turbos out to a...

Is your airpack the old style, as I have one that cannot be rebuilt and have the parts if need be. RL

What is your airpack issue? RL

Seth, if it is possible, I would pull the master and inspect it first. If the corrosion on the bottom of the bore is bad enough you may be better off replacing it. It is a question of how much honing is required. I initially rebuilt my master but found that the rear seal (not the one under...

I agree with Bjorn, and my second set of batteries is not even in or near the battery box and is in my shelter in the back of my truck. RL

The difference I see in CA is that you are not allowed to use a HISTORICAL designation for your truck which would denote a non-commercial, therefore non load hauling use. It would be helpful if there were a national definition of this, but I would prefer that we not get the Federal Govt...

On Jatonka, in the Deuce TM section, there is TM 9-1827C which is a "Lockheed/Wagner" Hydraulic Brakes manual explaining the hydraulic brake system with illustrations of the components within the MC and other portions of the system. While I have not found a specific manual for rebuilding the...

Mine is historical....I have an S280 shelter and figured that 4900 pounds on top of the empty weight would be enough. (13000 for the deuce plus) I wonder sometimes though.... No problem on the LEO...I have several friends who are as well, and I am very grateful for what you do. RL

Agreed on the alternator kit for 12 volts DUG. The cost in that venture is the batteries if you are planning on deep cycling them. They do not come cheap. RL

I understand the principle of the equalizer, and would consider it, except that I use my 12 volt batteries for housekeeping in my shelter and also for communications work. If you run your 24 volt system down too far, you will not be able to start the truck. Further aggravating the situation is...
