If you haven't installed the aluminum heater core, maybe you can return it.

Like they said, the first step is to make sure your service light switch is on. After that check fuses. Then start looking for a bad Service Light switch or broken wires and connectors. A cheap multimeter will make troubleshooting much easier as you follow voltage.

The generator doesn't generate any power unless it is connected to a power consuming device. Just like a battery doesn't start it's chemical reaction that generates a current until you close the circuit. BTW, an old way of checking if your alternator is working is to disconnect the battery...

I am with the others. In icy conditions if you don't have chains, STAY OFF THE ROAD. If you have a life threatening emergency (medical or survival) where you HAVE to go out. Go slow and I mean SLOOOOOW, with a max speed of maybe 5 mph. Plan stops 100 yards ahead, avoid hills and sharp curves...

The Chevy CUCVs are almost 100% the same as the civilian versions with the exception being the starting circuit (CUCV 24vdc). So, if you can read a schematic and are a pretty good electrician/handyman, you could probably get it to work ASSUMING that you can get one that is made for the diesel...

Sounds like you have at least one battery that is almost dead. Start by putting a low amperage charger on each battery yo make sure they are being fully charged and then see if you still have the same problem. If so, take the battery to be tested. Alternators that charge at a 40-80 ampere...

I haven't done it myself, but you can get 24v dc wiper motors for boats fairly cheap to replace the crappy air motors on the deuce.

I am pretty sure that the gasoline and diesel tanks are identical.

I would remove the heater core and immerse it in a CLR solution.

Get some CLR (calcium, rust, lime remover) and soak your core in a 25% solution of it making sure that it is filled with the solution.

Sounds like your glow plug controller card is bad and keeping the GP relay engaged. Bypass the card by installing a momentary ON switch to the GP relay.

30 cents a pound is HIGH. At that price a deuce could bring over $4000 and 5 ton would bring over $6000 just for scrap. And if THAT is the case, I am going into the deuce scrapping business. I'll take out the valuable parts and then scrap the rest.

Not to denigrate the actions of the WWII vets, but the Bronze Star is also known as the "every man's medal" because in 1947 the US Army decided that every man who had earned a Combat Infantryman's Badge during WWII was also entitled to the Bronze Star Medal. So every soldier who saw combat...

Yep. The starting point is the glow plugs. Check resistance of each plug to ground. You should have about 1.2 ohms of resistance on each one. I'll bet that several have failed.

Some have gone so far as to cut the cab and extend it.:smile:

1. They are out there. 2. Bought 2 from another SS member last year for $750 each, but you won't find them for under $1000 now. 2a. Installation: easy. First one took 3 hours, second took 1 1/2. 3. Conventional hydraulic is feasible and several members have done it. It just depends on how...

The military buys Interstate 6TL not because they are so great, but because they are the CHEAPEST!

Go to the Resources at the top of the page and go to the Vehicle Specs page you will get a lot of the specifications. As for manufacturers, all deuces from the mid 50s onward were made at the same factory with different owners and names.

A long plank for a ramp?

Shoot me a PM, I am no more than a few hours from you with a good running deuce engine.
