That definitely looks like failed inner axle seals and failed boots to me. It's very possible that the bearings are still greased and fine since they are on the other side of the knuckle. Unless you're set on having it towed from here I would definitely pull the drive shaft and the drive flanges...

Are the hubs hot? Sounds like you've had the inner axle seals fail. If you remove the drive flanges and the front drive shaft you could keep going without the front axle spinning.

My knowledge is a bit dated but before all the current price increases it was roughly double the cost of petroleum based diesel. It is made from the same feed stocks as biodiesel but doesn't have the hygroscopic tendencies of the biodiesel. It's a good fuel, but it's not cheap.

Maybe try putting your known good light from the passenger side on the drivers side this time and put the new bulb on the passenger side? If it blows the drivers side again, the problem is in the truck. If it blows the new bulb that you put on the passenger side, you just got a bad batch of bulbs.

Yep, things like that are exactly why we all need to know exactly what the written rules are where we live so we can separate what the rules truly are from what zoning officials wish they were. I only read a few sections of the Fairfield code, not anything from the state of Ohio. As a side...

As mentioned earlier, zoning officials are almost always on a power trip, and see no difference between getting you to comply with the ordinances as written and with their wishes that go a step further. The devil is in the details and you need to be 100% clear on what is and is not in those...

I replaced the left mid axle shaft on my deuce with an old front splined cap for a while. In my case it was an attempt to lessen the amount of tire scrubbing that I saw when making tight turns on pavement. It did seem to do that, not a huge change but it seemed like the black marks on the road...

There is no need to RSVP. Just show up and sign the waiver and pay the entrance fee to get your wrist band. If you're on a quad or bike (or mower!) you need a helmet but that's about it. The trails are supposed to be closed at 10 PM but that is loosely enforced at most, as long as you are...

I would add to that, that when you are putting fuses or circuit breakers in the system, get them as close to where they get power from (+ battery terminal, 12v power converter, etc.) as possible. That way you have less unprotected wiring that could still cause a short without protection from the...

Just keep in mind that if there are any water leaks in the outer shell, spray foam becomes a sponge and rusts the walls from the inside out. My M109A3 had been spray foamed at some point prior to it getting released, and due to a couple roof leaks it had rust everywhere inside the walls. I had...

I'm wondering if that is a windshield washer fluid reservoir. My deuce had nothing mounted there, but mine never had a windshield washer pump or nozzles either.

The two levers are the parking brakes. One for each wheel. Up is released, down / forward is brake applied. Applying air does not release these, they are all mechanical. If yours has two air hoses and an air tank, it will lock the brakes if the emergency line is disconnected from a truck and...

https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/5-ton-power-steering-assist-cylinder-rebuild.138637/ Yes it is pretty straight forward. I used the above thread as a guide. On my truck I was able to disconnect the front of the cylinder first and then the hoses, so I could avoid removing the guard that covers...

As long as the rod going out through the seals isn't damaged or scored, you should be able to restore it with a seal kit. I did it last Fall with a kit from Big Mike's Motorpool / Mike Virilli. Had a heck of a time finding one but he was able to get it. It seems that paint on the rod is one of...

Looking at gringeltaube's truck vs. mine, it looks like the Army got a bit sloppy when putting my mirrors on. There are no reinforcing brackets on the inside of the cowl and the holes definitely aren't level like his. Oh well, as you can tell by the CARC on the bolt heads, it has held the...

Looks like they came from another truck now that you point out the missing bracket. I looked in the TM9-2320-209-20P manual and it doesn't have my style of mirrors in it, so I can't find a part number for that bracket. It would be pretty easy to make them though. It does show the style you have...

The ones you found in the bed look like deuce mirrors to me. I could only find a shot of the driver side. Ignore the wire, that is for my lighted mirrors. The passenger side is curved to go around the exhaust but it mounts the same way. Both use the door hinge pin bolts to hold them on, so if...

You can keep duals with 1100x20 tires. I believe if you use NDT tires they fit without any changes. If you get the 11.00R20 G177 radials, some members have reported that the tread edges would contact the fasteners on the trunion cover during turns, so they changed out to button head fasteners on...

I don't know how similar the 5 ton master cylinder is to the one on a deuce, but this is the same symptom set that I had when crud was blocking the compensating port in the master cylinder in my deuce master cylinder. Check the reservoir and make sure there is no crud in it, especially any...
