I had my M105 trailer parked under some oak trees for a while. Shortly after I moved it a branch about twice that size fell off one of the trees and landed right where it was. It also knocked another large branch off when it fell so that could have been bad! I never trusted these trees before...

I took it for a test drive yesterday and I like these wheel cylinders. It takes noticeably less effort on the pedal to stop, but part of that I'm sure is having a better pedal than before. I didn't apply them too hard yet since the interior of the box has a lot of loose stuff that would go...

I did get all mine installed and just used the old pins and everything fit fine. I haven't taken it out on the road yet though because of the usual summer major work to it before the next camping trip. Driving it around the ranch it stops very nicely. The pedal is the best it's ever been with...

That's exactly what I do! Engine sounds happy and fuel economy is better. At 2600 the engine is SCREAMING and MPGs plummet. The way I figure, deuces aren't made to go fast. If I want to go fast I have muscle cars for that.

The military put the air shift piston in backwards on mine and it made all kinds of clanking noise.

Looks like they still might be making the complete engines!

Thanks for the replies! This will work out great with better braking since they're going in my M109A3 that will be pulling a M105a2 trailer which is going to be a heavy setup.

I bought some surplus wheel cylinders on ebay to replace the ones on the 109 that didn't hold up to being rebuilt. They are 2009 AM General production, but the bore is 1.5" instead of the 1 3/8". I compared them and they're the same otherwise. Is this a late model update or perhaps they aren't...

I just had one blow out on my 109. Luckily it was while it was parked at my house, although it was probably going when I was heading back down from the Rocky Mountains since that was my last trip! I rebuilt them last summer. They had a some pitting towards the middle that I didn't think was too...

Thanks! Thanks! That rack will be a big step forward on this project since that's where I'm putting the A/C stuff and battery bank.

There is the vents on the inner fenders and the open areas on the back of them that should allow the heat to blow out from the fan and driving.

Put a heat shield on the turbo!

I posted in this thread before, right after I got my first deuce. Seems so long ago now! Anyways, I had that problem and it did go away within a few miles of driving it. I was pretty smelly in the cab the first time I took it out. My 109 did the same thing and it's done it a few more times since...

Pretty cool! Been looking into those for muscle cars. Never even thought about putting one on a deuce.

It's a civilian 24 volt alternator on brackets made by tm america. I'm going to add a 12 volt alternator later and get rid of the inverter. I'm planning on making it so the alternator can charge the battery bank I'm installing on the box and have it so I can start the truck off that bank if the...

She isn't purdy enough yet but she will be soon :) It's an F6 flatbed truck. I hear ya. You're probably talking about the gun storage. I've definitely thought about that. There's a reason I left out what guns go there and I figured if someone were to ever make it in my truck and was looking...

Just a new alternator, inverter, backup camera and finally made up some brackets to mount the aluminum ladder to the rear of the box. Other vehicle projects have been eating up all my time and money :) I'm planning on doing a bunch to the inside of the box during the winter. Planning on...

It mentions exhibitions. Everywhere I take mine turns into an exhibition:)

It seems deuces must be hard on batteries. Mine are about that old and seem like they are getting weak. I have one from 2006 in my '69 Camaro and it's still going strong! Some go to Walmart to get their batteries and exchange them before the warranty is up.

Mine does it too. I have to hold the throttle to the floor to start it and hold it slightly or it will die. I usually start it and use the hand throttle to set it at 1050RPM where the sweet spot is for minimal rattle. The wire is still on the IP cover so I don't think it was messed with but I...
