    Drop Down Hitch

    It kind of does not matter how you do it. We all take the course through our work as we can, with the tools and abilities and willingness to do the work required. As long as we get done what we want done, that is all that matters. To quote a very respected friend of mine: "It's all Good!" RL

    Drop Down Hitch

    I am not sure where the "Hours drilling holes in my frame" notion has come from. I drilled the 6-1/2" holes in my frame in about 10 minutes. I predrilled the receiver and adapters I had to fab up and had it installed in less than an hour. I have spent untold years drilling steel...

    Drop Down Hitch

    I bolted a class four receiver to the frame rails of my deuce and use a 6 inch drop hitch to tow my comm trailer. I do not worry too much about the 6 inch drop hitch and receiver because I am not planning on hauling anything over about 3500# behind my deuce on this setup. I did use grade 8...

    Avoid mixed fuel fines....

    This discussion smacks of the "Chicken and the Egg" argument. No doubt using any substance in your deuce as fuel that has not had the government's share of the cost added to it is a crime if you are on the highway. As to the percentage I am not sure myself. I prefer to not burn WMO...

    OMG is that brake fluid or gear lube???!!!

    I would clean the brake shoes with brake cleaner and then sand them with 200 grit paper until you see clean material. This is not as drastic a measure as you think it might be. You remove the contaminated material and that is maybe .010 lining. Not much really. I also sand the drums when I...

    Hex Head Plugs

    You can order a hex "socket" for 1/2 drive from any autoparts store and that along with a few other necessities are all required for Deuce maintanence. I borrowed one for the first time I checked my transmission and then went out and bought one so I would not need to do that the next time. Other...

    Deuce from Ft. Drum?

    My truck came from Drum. I had JATONKA haul it home for me. Just as well as there were no brakes that could be counted on. I would suggest you try to network with other MV owners in your area and figure out your strategy BEFORE bidding on a truck. There is no sense winning a truck and finding...

    More Hot Rear Axle Hubs

    Adjusting bearings properly is key to maintaining cool hub temps. Also if a brake shoe, or shoes are dragging, you are guaranteed to have a hot hub. I would add that if you have one axle doing the majority of the braking those hubs will consistently be hotter. It is very easy to adjust your...

    nubi but..axle question

    OK, I will explain, or at least try to.... In the older Deuce and five tons, they used a "sprag" type of transfer case which engaged the front axle if slippage was occuring. Otherwise the front axle was free to operate slightly out of snyc with the rest of the truck which is necessary for ease...

    GILBERT 2010 Update

    I am trying a set of JATONKA AVM Lock out hubs for my first long trip to Gilbert and I also freed up the front rear differential by putting the front splined caps on after removing the axle shafts as well. The truck handles great and I am hoping to maybe pick up a smidge on mileage per gallon...

    New owner questions

    Although this may not have any bearing on your problem, I would offer the following thoughts: 1) What are you using to lubricate your fuel system? The reason I am asking is that with the ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel) your mechanical pump is not getting the lubrication it did with Sulfur...
