    Louisiana to NC and back in the Deuce

    Tentatively leaving here this coming Saturday night and heading over and up to NC to pick up my next project. Got an M211 from CBRmetalworks, so if everything goes alright I will be flat towing it all the way home. He says I'm crazy, I can't disagree.

    Brake fluid in the wrong place

    I've been meaning to take the plug out of the back side of my airpack( long style) to check for water in there for a while now. I'm referring to the small plug on the end of the air cylinder. I didn't get water out, but I did get quite a bit of brake fluid... Now I know where my brake fluid is...

    Injectors: Front Vs. Rear

    I have been noticing my truck losing power little by little over the past couple of months, so i decided that with now over 2000 hours on them it was time to change the injectors or have them rebuilt. The easier option for me was to change them out because I had some low hour ones on hand. I...

    Lost fifth gear today

    Had my first real failure today. Pulled out of the driveway of my friend's house about three miles up the road from my house, shifted 1st- 4th just fine, went into 5th and got about two seconds of pull in that gear and then it neutralled itself out. Tried taking it out of gear and putting it...

    PRC77 no audio from mic or speaker

    So I received the battery adapter from Brooke at PRC68.com yesterday, picked up some good fresh Duracells today and powered up my 77 off of the vehicle mount for the first time today. I am getting zero audio out of either of my H250 handsets ( one of which is brand new) or either of my external...

    Quote for 929 from L.A to Jacksonville Florida

    I have a 929 dumptruck that needs to go to Jacksonville. The guy that it belongs to can't get a reasonable quote for transport. It's only 760 miles thereabouts.

    GRC-160 no power up

    I recently purchased this radio set from Airbornebandsman, and to be fair he did tell me beforehand that the radio did not work. Ive been reading through the TMs and speaking with Carnac about the issue and it seems to me that the problem is in the MT-1029/VRC base. There is supposed to be a...

I will be...

    Aluminum fuel tank

    I was considering installing an aluminum tank that I have here from a five ton by just cutting a hole for the deuce pump and drilling and tapping screw holes, but the filler neck on the tank I have is in the wrong spot. I noticed an aluminum tank on the M35a3 that showed up at the Ponchatoula...

    Fuel pod valve

    I recently picked up a 650 gallon fuel pod and have spent the last two days inside of it cleaning it out with aluminum brite acid wash and a scrub brush. In the process of shimmying myself through the baffle to the front half of the tank I fell into the shutoff valve linkage and broke the cast...

    La. To Hooks Tx and back

    I'm leaving at 5:00 am in the morning to pick up two M105 trailers and four pallets of tires and bring them back here for another member. I am driving the deuce so I can pick up some other small to medium items and bring back to Louisiana if anybody needs.

    Recycled oil

    I'm just curious as to how the big boys clean and recycle their used motor oil before re bottling it. Something tells me that there has got to be some chemical that is added to the UMO to help the carbon particles drop out of suspension other than gasoline and centrifuging it. I'm no chemist...

    Goat dimensions

    Simple easy one for you goat owners here. What are the approximate dimensions of the goat tractor by itself, and of the trailer by itself? Really trying to figure out if the tractor will fit in a deuce bed without the trailer and I couldn't find dimensions for the two separately.

    Four wheel flatbed

    Was looking in some scrap piles at some local shops today and stumbled across a flat top four wheel trailer with rows and rows of tiedown points that fold away into the floor. The two front wheels are steer tires that are steered by the pintle hitch. I noticed that it is a five lug bolt pattern...

    Mep016c belly tank feed

    Finally got my 016c to put out power the other day and was load testing it when I found that it will not feed fuel from the belly tank up to the small tank on the side of the motor. Seems that the pump on the side of the motor will not pump fuel from the belly tank at all. I've tried with tank...

    Tarp cleaning and stave length

    I have three green vinyl cargo covers that came with some deuces I picked up recently, but they were folded up laying in the bed and have some pretty bad rust staining, some spots even are crusty rusty. Not sure about using CLR to clean them as it says it may discolor/ destroy some fabrics. I...

    M936 A2 transfer case problem

    So I put my transfer case in neutral today to engage the pto for the crane on my truck to test everything that runs off of the rear pto. Everything worked fine until I tried to put the truck back into gear. It wants to stay I low gear or neutral. The shift lever was bottoming out on the floor...

    Led tail light problem

    So I picked up a pair of Riverside l.e.d tail lights the other day and got around to installing them today. Now, to date I have only swapped the headlights and the tails out to led. Everything works great except for the blackout functions. The tails not only stay on with the blackout lights, but...
