My old Deuce, which I sold to a friend, got into a spot of bother today. He was driving it down his road (he lives in the hilly country) - very steep, sharp corners - and it got away from him. I am pretty sure that the truck is mechanically ok except for a battery with a burnt terminal (from...

Yeah, I was thinking about it because I have one and, well, whistler. Would not be after any serious power boost.

I am going to replace the original NDT tires on my '64 M416. I plan to use take-off BFG All-Terrain 285/75r16 tires from my truck. Can I run these tubeless on the stock, original military wheels? If not, will radial inner tubes listed as going up to 235/60r16 be OK? (They are available on...

Yes, the question was prompted by the sudden proliferation of outrageously turbocharged gasoline engines/cars that seem to have appeared overnight. In terms of airflow, a SBC is maybe half the cubes of a multi but the rpms are double. So, maybe the size is within reason? For sure there would be...

Has anyone ever mounted a whistler turbo on a small-block Chevy? (No, I have not been drinking.)

Good Sam was a bust as they said that 'a military vehicle was designed for commercial purposes'. Wow.

Here's the latest: - New rear seal is in, flywheel is on with new bolts, and new pilot bushing installed. - Clutch and tranny should be in by next Friday. - Dude I know is an OTR trucker and he is trying to see if his employer will let him borrow a low boy to drag it back to Texas for me. -...

Some updates on this never ending journey: - Flywheel was able to be cut and is now as smooth as a gigolo's pick-up line. - Dave is not going to be able to get onto the reassembly until next week at best. Forecasting two weeks from tomorrow as a safe bet. - I have a bunch of decent...

It is heartening to see that you have regained your outpatient status. EDIT: The above was in response to someone's rather negative post that seems to have been deleted.

Here's an update. My Haggerty road side assistance plan provided 150 miles of Towing and my friends shop was 147 miles away. Even a blind hog gets a few acorns. A 25-ton wrecker brought the deuce to my friend Dave's shop where we dropped the transmission. The pressure plate was perfect the side...

This is a condensed update as time is still tight. I had the truck towed to my friend Dave's shop which was about a hundred and fifty miles away from where I was stranded. Today we pulled the transmission out and found that the pressure plate did not look bad the disc was totally messed up and...

Here is a Google screenshot. I am about 55 miles south of Jane Lew and 18 miles north of Summerville. It is mile marker 63 on Route 19 I am about 55 miles south of game blue and about 18 miles north of Summersville. It is mile marker 63 on Route 19. Here is a screenshot from Google

Well, that didn't last long. Despite taking it easy the clutch lost all of its adjustment in a hundred or so miles of smooth highway driving. I am not sure if I should attempt to adjust it again. There seems to be something that is causing the clutch to lose its adjustment right away and I am...

a clutch adjustment has me back on the road, at least for now. southbound on I79 in west virginia

I am down with a bad clutch on I79 at exit 96 in West Virginia. Coasted off the interstate onto the shoulder of the exit southbound side. Is there anyone who can help in any way Recommend a shop, someplace I can have it towed tobetransported, whatever

Nah, couple of zip ties and that ain't going anywhere. JK. My Deuce has a 2" receiver mounted below the stock pintle.

That's the reverse of the route I took to go up north. Target is Texas 79.

I actually enjoy night driving. Less traffic and more courtesy. I have good lighting on the rear of the towed vehicle plus a yellow strobe.

Got a tow dolly for the trip:
