rough, loud, bumpy When these trucks traveled a long distance in service, weren't they in groups and had a M1031 contact maintenance support truck and maybe a wrecker with them and other trucks maybe carrying a towbar? I sure wouldn't do what you propose. I make about two 180 to 200 mile round...

Congrats. That looks cool. Thanks for posting the pics. I see it has the air intake extension on it. Do you know what branch of the service it came out of? Just curious.

cool! antenna mount too and I see wooden stakes leaning against the right fender well, used for driving through the hearts of vampires and zombies or maybe just for holding tents in place.

two drain plugs. I used two 5 gallon buckets at the same time to drain the two oil sumps. Pretty cool that those can fit under there no problem without even jacking up the truck. I did not start my truck for about 5 days before the oil filter change, so that made that part easy. I wanted that...

I think you will be surprised to learn that most of your tinkering and maintenance will involve sockets and wrenches that are rather smaller than one would think for this size truck. I get out the half inch drive ratchet to check fluid levels on the axles, etc but many things can be done...

thanks for posting the pics, I too was thinking some sort of 'plate' would be needed on top of the jack to spread the load on the wing. cool pics, nice stuff.

rotating beacon I was just looking at TNJMurray's site and under 'specials' the rotating light set is pictured, but two lights and poles are in the pic, $350. If anybody is interested, I dont know if ya get two lights and poles and all for that price, or just one. I dont need it so I wasnt...

I have the amber rotating beacon on a mast on mine, light comes from two 24 volt aircraft landing lights. I was searching on threads on here about convoy lights and price seems to vary for complete kit, from $150 to $250, not really sure what the market price is right now.

whoopee straps I always have in my daily driver, a 30 ft tow strap, think it handles 18,000 lb load. $25 to $30 at a farm and ranch supply store. I like the way you can 'snatch' the stuck vehicle with those (if you have good strong attachment places). I have pulled full size pickups from...

the journey begins..... Congrats and welcome! You can google on the stuff you have questions about and it usually takes you to a thread on this site. Spend a couple hours here each day or morning or evening and just keep reading and you will learn a whole lot. :beer:

large waves Thanks for posting the pics but I had to look away, that paint scheme really made me seasick.

grandma only drove it once a month to exercises First deuce; i bought, 71 kaiser jeep, originated from NE national guard, appears sat in Toole UT rebuild from 85 to 87 so prolly got a dash gauge change at that time, read 41800 miles when I got it in 2008. Second deuce; i bought 87 am general...

If you have time before you leave, spend about 4 hours each day or nite on this site and just keep reading the threads, and those threads will take you to other threads and you will learn an awful lot about the deuce on this site. I wear headphones for highway trips to block all the noise...

green fuel tax rate, red fuel tax rate Diesel for road use in cars and trucks is dyed green, possibly olive drab green. Off road equipment like a loader or excavator or farm tractor uses red dyed diesel since they are not using the roads and bridges so therefore red dyed stuff is taxed way...

13,000 lbs of fun I just use mine for parades and displays, but I can enjoy just sitting and looking at it for hours. It is a lot of metal and machinery to take care of for one person. I have had a couple vets, and a kid once, ask me, "Is that real?" :beer:

oily stuff tinswoodsman, funny post . Bye the bye, whom amongst us is a multifuel injection pump rebuilder?

a one anna two anna......... the way I does it.... check that trans is in neutral, turn electrical switch thingy on left side of dash to ' on ', press the starter button, give it a little fuel with foot throttle while cranking. Once it starts, I pull out throttle thing on dash a little so...

maybe the diaphram in there is too tight. they have adjusting screws on the back of the horns, you could try adjusting that when your air pressure is up and see if it works. just an idea.

air force dropside w/w myself and another member of the MVCC bought ex air force dueces with dropside and winches. 1987 models.

NAPA filters the NAPA primary fuel filter is 3511 and it comes with the correct gasket. the NAPA secondaries fuel filters are 3512 but you need to also purchase 2 5070 gaskets from them, the ones that come with the 3512 filters do not fit correctly. the NAPA oil filters are 1133.
