    deuce wheel stud

    Thanks man, but yeah I bought the 78:1 ratio one, they were out of the 58:1. I checked the website and all I saw was there new "half back" method of tightening your lugs. I reckon I'll email him and find out for sure.

    24V Digital Pyrometer

    Installed mine right above the turbo manifold, the rear port. Probably about 1 in or so above the top side of the flange. As far as wall thickness, It was close to 1/4in I believe. I just used the 1/8th NPT fitting for mine. Drilled and tapped the hole. Hey your not far from me! What part of...

    1974 M35A2 Mulit 5th gear "knocking" issue

    I did it from the bottom. 2 wrenches, sitting on your heels while trying to tighten something at the top wasn't what I would call easy. Mabey my arms just arn't long enough? I was pissed when I discovered I couldn't get my impact to any of them.

    1974 M35A2 Mulit 5th gear "knocking" issue

    Did you check the short shaft from the trans to transfer? It's a PITA to get to and tighten and they seem really common to be loose causing lots of different noises.

    M939 spare tire davit on M818

    Will any of those style spare tire holders fit a 395/85R20? And does the top part that has the pulley on it swivel by chance? I would like to put one in my M35 but need to mount it facing rearward instead of sideways. Thanks

    recentered FMTV's for deuces

    Gotcha, When I get some extra $$$ I'll just have to plan on flipping the hubs too. What's the difference between these rims and the HEMMT rims that lots of folks get recentered?

    Mine don't track correctly and the air ports on the rear tires are facing in anyway, super singled on origanal rims.

    recentered FMTV's for deuces

    What's the deal with "off road use only"? Just to get you out of the liability? Are they bead locks? Or unsafe for road use? Looks good, wish I had $1200 extra around. Been wanting a rim rim with less backspacing than the original.....Can you run them without flipping the hubs in the rear?

    Random Long Cranking to Start

    Mine's bypassed, I run 75% waste oil. No problems. Get a pyro to fine tune the fuel screw by so it's not too hot.
