I CANT GET A FRONT HUB OFF because the wheel bearing appears stuck on the shaft! Front Drivers side came off fine, but the front passenger side is stuck. The bearing just wont come loose from the support shaft. To my knowledge the bearing is fine, it isnt any hotter than the rest of them...

AIRPAK Lubrication plug removal tool (easy to get) I ran across this thread about an easy to get tool for removing the rear square plug of the Long style Air Packs (in order to lubricate the air pack with air tool oil) and thought it would be worth while posting it on the deuce thread as well...

LIGHT BAR for the Deuce, w/ search light & Solargizer panel Earlier this year I got one of the larger solargizer kits with the 12v & 24v taps from Jeff (JOateyNV) out of the classifieds. I didnt want to put any holes in the top of anything (either my 109 box roof or the hardtop roof) so one...

I wanted to start a thread to both show some new gauges I purchased from Westach and to get some feedback and ideas on a steering column gauge pod/cluster enclosure I am building for the Deuces, may fit the 5 ton as well. Recently I decided to get an EGT/Pyro pyrometer and liked the full...

Well I figured I'd start what I expect to be a mini build thread for my trailer. I purchased 2 lots of MRAP wheels out of redstone this summer (8 wheels total). My plan is 6 for the M109 and 2 for the trailer. I figure it will make everything match, but I also want the trailer to have them...

I need 2 pallets (8 mounted tires/wheels total) moved from Redstone Arsenal to minneapolis minnesota area (55429,55341 area). 3200 lbs total apparently! ***Wreckerman got these out of Redstone for me. Need them shipped from his place to Minnesota now. ... sounds like its 4000 lbs total. Got...

M35A2/M109A3 I've done some searching for the best speeds to get the best mileages but since so many folks are using different tire setups its a little tough to compare. I'm assuming that there might be a "Sweet Spot" in RPM's that would give the best miles per gallon so I wanted to see what...

I replaced the flame heater last week and ever since the truck takes much longer to start that before the "fix". It did sit for 2 days with the return fuel line open and not attached. I expected it to take a while to start on the first start after hooking it all back up. Prior to the...

Well I've been trying to fix this air assist since i got the truck a year ago. Its started leaking pretty bad from one vent on the bottom of the draglink. Anyway I started off with replacing the piston cup inside the ram, removed the frame rail mounted regulator as most folks suggest and...

So I was just working on the 109 today and noticed this thing dripping diesel onto the turbo. I dont know what it does but it looks to be attached to the return diesel line. Its got another small tube going to it as well. This thing says UNIVALVE on it and appears to be leaking from the end (it...

I figured I'd share a source for some replacement parts to the Air-O-Matic system since I had so much trouble finding anyone that had any remaining parts and figured there are others with the same problem. Anyway, I have a leaking piston cup seal in the air o matic ram that I havent been able to...

I need some help trying to figure out why my deuce is still so slow at building oil pressure. I changed the oil and added the Spin on filter kit to replace the canister oil filters. the Filters I put on are the Wix 51458 that have the anit drain back valve. Everyone says this should reduce the...

I went to renew my insurance and wanted to up the value of my duece since I have been pumping money and sweat equity into restoring the truck as well as a modest camper conversion (although most of the work is restoration). Anyway I was told to up the value I needed an appraisal. I've done...

So I've been trying to come up with some ideas for compact,legal safe and comfortable travel seating for a couple people in the van box of my 109 camper conversion so we dont need to take 2 cars when we go somewhere as a family. I finally came up with an idea that would work great since it...

I've got the ever popular M109 camper conversion going on and have a family of 4. It all has been fun to use and worked great except for the fact that we need to take an extra car anywhere we go when the whole family camps as their is only room for 3 in the cab. The extra car is nice in case of...

I'm trying to get some ideas from some other m109 camper guys on where you have mounted your fresh water tank and what sizes you went with. I'm thinking the best spot for my conversion is under the box between the rails somewhere. Anyone else done this, what size tank did you go with...

Hi all, I suspect this is going to be a tough question to get answers to. I purchased a 88 Airforce M109 with the dual circuit brakes earlier this year. Well I knew something was up when the center light (brake warning light) on the instrument cluster had been replaced with a regular gauge...

I figured its time to bleed the brakes on my 88 AF M109A3 which has the dual circuit system. I've only had the truck a few months, the previous owner never bleed them, and not sure when the military last did before that. So far I havent found much info on these dual systems and havent...

Just curious how many of you shut off your deuce or let it run while refueling? If you are supposed to let it idle to cool down for 5 minutes before shutting off it seems like an added pain when refueling (besides the cost of that much fuel). So assuming your truck has a good working parking...

Ive got an 88 m109a3 and am trying to figure out what I've got here? This is the 4 pin power cord plug/receptacle coming off my box. All the other 109 units I've seen have a 2 pin. Does anyone know why & when they changed over to this 4 pin style? I'll probably be converting it all to...
