    Just bought a Deuce...

    [ I did not remove the metal parts on the bottom of the original master cylinder cap when I did the job. Others have said you need to do that but my experience so far it made no difference. I think that fitting is a check valve. It may not let fluid into the master cylinder only lets air out...

    Must Have's for New Deuce?

    I thought the only difference from the 5 ton and 2.5 ton motors were the intake manifold and air inlet ( air filter etc). I got a m109 that has the bigger intake and a turned up ip and that thing flys uphill way better than my M35a2

    Just bought a Deuce...

    That should be a vent line. If it had a resivour it would be mounted in the cab behind the drivers seat. It’s a common failure for these trucks to loose peddle , leaks in the air pac , wheel cylinders , failed break lines. Most common is the wheel cylinder followed by the air pac. Should be dot...

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    I’m just trying to throw some ideas out there. I’ve had trucks sit for months and start with a little extended cranking but fired up. Anything over 600 rpm should fire up. 🤔 And I can’t see the injection system draining back into the tank , the filter shells should hold quite enough fuel to get...

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    Have you pulled the ip head to make sure the button is still attached ? It migh be loose and only staying attached when the rpm’s get up there. I hated pulling that whole assembly off because it wouldn’t start. Turned ou it was the ip head button off and the piston wouldn’t drop all the way down.

    M998 Humvee Running Light, Headlight, and Turn Signal Issue

    I would start by checking for broken wires and bad grounds. Melting the cover 😳 are you sure the correct lamps are in the correct receptacle ? The top lamp should be for turn signal and middle is for parking lights. Bottom is blackout turn. I’m pretty sure.

    Parasitic Draw

    I think before everyone goes off the deep end on this guys poor truck , I’m sure you got a bleeder just killing 1 battery. Without disconnecting any of the battery’s I think you need a current sensing meter to see if there’s a drain. They come in different styles but something like this...

    Wrong dash pad?

    The one I had was more of a burgundy color for seats and dash. That blank should have had a badge for Silverado or something like that. No a mv dash
