alright, I've been researching non stop about deuces before I pick mine up, but I feel like I'm missing something. Anybody have last minute tips about the deuce, like anything that is different from any other vehicle. Like, I know you shouldn't pump the gas pedal, only use diesel, something...

how do you know if the truck has airshift? The one I'm picking up Friday is a '67, I've seen earlier ones with airshift and later without, so what was the rule on those?

they look pretty interesting http://ch.hayes-lemmerz.com/html/multipiece_military_wheels.html

just seeing if anyone is along Highway 95 between Fruitland, ID and Winnemucca, NV and 80 between Winnemucca and Reno? it's a longshot, but just IN CASE anything happens....... Nah, I better not jinx myself

are the stock split rims modified, or do you use all new rims?

will an 11.00x20 tire fit in the stock spare tire carrier behind the cab step? It looks like a tight fit as it is with the 9x20.....

just trying to gather up everything I might need for my trip back- is there a substitute for the 13/16" budd socket? I can't seem to find one very easily in town. Will a crescent do the trick in a pinch?

can you mount tubeless radial tires on the stock deuce rims? the stock NDT tires are tubed, correct?

rather than single rear wheel my truck the right way before I bring it home (lots of added labor and parts costs I'm more inclined to put off, plus time involved), is it possible, now don't laugh, to just remove the rear outside wheels? Will the truck still run, like there won't be a bunch of...

I was looking at a cross reference chart, and it appears that if the model is a turbo M35A2, than it has to be the LDT-465. Is this correct? there's no danger that the truck I'm looking at could have the 427 motor, right? thanks!

....#186 from Alex, instead I'm getting #380 listed on their site now! www.idahomotorpool.com check it out. Good news is I pick it up in two weeks, can't wait! This one has less options but it fits my budget much better, and sounds like a strong runner. Will keep you posted of course...

this is a question that's been on my mind for some time. Would these trucks benefit from an exhaust or engine brake. I looked at Jacobs' site and they don't have an app listed. How about an exhaust brake?

are any of these necessary on a truck you plan to drive in winter? I know a heated block is a good idea in general, but are there any of these devices to avoid? the pan and dipstick style heaters don't seem like they'd do much on such a large engine. What else is available to heat a block...

if you go here: http://www.collect.com/interest/article.asp?Pub=MV&id=3796 (WARNING- BIG PICTURE) and see this deuce, what rims are those? THey don't look like any I've seen. Were they experimental or are those rings waterproof covers or what? thanks

what's the exact length/pitch of the 8 bolts that hold the front drive flange? I need to know so I know how short to make the bolts for my flanges

are there any drain provisions in the bed, I was at one site with a bunch of pictures and the bed looked like it had standing water in it for like 3 years (and there still was some). There was a big depression one one side and it was pure flaky rust. Is that a common problem on these trucks or...

I know at least one person has done it, or has a truck with it done. I saw the how to article at www.militaryvehiclesmagazine.com, but what is the benefit? I know the multifuels aren't tuned to run on pure diesel, so if they were they could make a lot more power and be more reliable, right...

just curious- when single rear wheeling, do you need any different parts? I was under the impression that you simply take off a hub here, reverse some bolts there and slap on your wheels. Am I being a little naive? I have MVM #79 and it appears that's what was done. But, I mentioned...

In debating whether to switch to 11x20 singles and how many spares to pick up when I get the truck, I just wanted to know if there's any off brand wheels to look out for- are all the 20 inch wheels the same? Like, say in the future I switch back to 9x20 (you never know), will I need new...

so if a deuce winch is rated at 10,000 pounds, can it really pull a deuce out? Does the military underrate everything for safe measure? Or is it intended to rescue other vehicles? I was always told you need a winch rated at twice the vehicle weight to get out of tough situations. what's the...
