I do the bottle of two-cycle oil also with each fill up. I am not sure if it effects everything but I figure it can't hurt.

I agree with Kad when saying it is not worth it. It is a weak trans. If you want to go through the trouble of getting OD, the 4l80 or e is a bunch better option being that you would have to move a bunch of stuff around for both anyway and getting the actual trans is not the most expensive part...

I am getting around 20 cruising around 54-56 mph. If I go much above 65 it goes into the toilet.

If you are not commuting in it, I don't see it being cost effective to switch to the multi. If you were to do the swap, maybe it would do betting with a different more modern diesel that would out preform the multi and still get better mileage. Sometimes it is hard to find waste oil in a hurry...

Is it bad that I could identify Scott's truck just by a slight view of his tire lugs?

mine has the same dent in the roof. I have a rack a buddy of mine made for me. I am still pondering how to mount it.

I use rubber mats with marine carpet on top. Seems to do pretty good. I am pretty sure I am going to use butyl when I redo the truck this spring.

I ran used atf for a long time. Stuff is like honey for the deuce. I wish I could get more of it around here but I pretty much cleaned the place out.

It is really hard to suggest to anyone to push a deuce to go much fast then 56. If I was to do any of these mods it would be more for getting a reasonable distance from redline when at 50 rather than to go much faster. I put larger wheels (11x 20s) on mine and it makes me much more comfy knowing...

From the layers I found It was originally green, then tan then green again. The last owner before me tried their hand at camo on it... The most prominent one is the V on the roof of the truck on the canopy. You can't see them unless you look at it from an angle and see where it was painted over.

I found the NATO V under a couple layers of paint on my 1009. What are the chances this was a Desert Storm truck? The thought of it makes me want to go tan with the paint job.

I think there is only a 4 or 5 inch difference in total height too so it would only drop the truck about 2 inches. I could be wrong.' -edit- opps I thought you were talking about 11x20s.

Man, this is just making me ache for warmer weather to start tearing mine down this spring. That paint looks really good.

Take a VERY close look at the frame directly next to the steering gear box and look for cracks around the bolt holes. Check each one with a flashlight.

I put G286s on my deuce in a singles config in the back. I really haven't noticed much of a change in milage but it drives a heck of a lot better (like night and day better) and I can cruise at 55 (GPS) with the speedo reading 47. I would do it again in a second.

Is the passenger side center tire backwards?

There are a couple for sale now on armyjeeps.net but they look really rough.

Air over hydraulic if fine because if the air dies you still have break pressure. On a full air system you loose control of the breaks. And Gun is right, I am not sure a dern thing is dot approved on these trucks for 2012. -edit- haha I got sniped

When my brigade went to NTC I am sure it looked something like that. 5 or 6 battalions and my battalion alone had 58 tanks and a freaking pile of fueler Hemmts and other rear vehicles. Prob just someone heading to training. How far is that from 29 stumps?

Oops, repost
