    Trying to recover some batts with a batteryMINder

    And I really don't know what I'm doing... ok, when I first tested the batts with a voltmeter, one (manufactured in 08) read a little over 9 volt and the other (manufactured in 01) read 0.0 volt. So I connected them in series, made sure they were topped off with RO water, and hooked the charger...

    parking brake...why is this set screw here?

    Well, me and texrdnec were just looking at this latest deuce and there's this set screw coming through a bracket off the transfer case. The screw appears to be holding the top boot of the parking brake drum in the engaged position. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about. At any rate, the...

    Recovery problems.

    So I went to pick up a deuce at fort sam today and it would crank but not start. I put two new commercial batts in that I KNOW work, because I ran them in another deuce the day before. They're fully charged and fresh. The fuel filters are getting fuel. Someone suggested trying to bleed the...

    Texans: how long to get your Former MV plates?

    The lady at the tax office won't let me title my truck until the FMV plates come in. She wants to do it all at the same time, both titling and registering. I was finally able to get her to order some FMV plates (they didn't even have ONE at the office), but she has no clue how long it'll take...

    Those in Texas with former MV tags...

    How often have you been pulled over? Based on the reports of others, registering my deuce as a normal truck would be over $300! For one YEAR! I just think it's outrageous that I should pay 1/5th of the value of the vehicle in taxes every single year. Regardless of how much I drive it! Of...

    How safe to tow a Deuce with another Deuce?

    I got a smoking deal on a Deuce off govliq the other day. $770 with winch. It looks pretty good, but the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor. I didn't see any puddles around any of the tires, so HOPEFULLY it's just something like the system has lost prime or it's just low on DOT 5 or...

    Possible bearing grease leak?

    The only issues I'm AWARE of on the truck is some apparent leaking on one of the rear axle grease bearing thingys. Looks like a little pool of oil resting on the inside of the wheel rim.

    News: USAA will start insuring deuces and other MVs in the fall

    Just got off the phone with USAA's commercial division. The lady told me they've gotten requests from other members with military trucks but their underwriter (progressive) doesn't insure MVs... HOWEVER, at their last meeting, they made a good proposal pointing out that they do insure other...

    How do you drain the air tanks?

    Yes, stupid question, I know, but I couldn't figure it out from the TM and none of the search results really talked about it here. It was hard to tell if the TM diagram was indicating a pitch motion or a yaw motion. I tried twisting the little lever with the spring on the other end (pitch...

    Need some help in the San Antonio area

    Hey guys, I just got my EUC back approved for my deuce. But reading the "great list" thread on the old board has my head swimming. Would one of ya'll be willing to meet me in San Antonio and head over to Fort Sam to check out my truck and help me do the initial "get her running safely"...
