    I have a problem with my new Head Lights I installed. I got some of those fancy Heller Globes with the easy change lamps, I got the 70w for heavyduty use. They work good on Bright but on Dim they are way too Dim like there is a bad ground maybe. I cleaned all the Grounds connections I could...

    Shifting Transmission

    How smooth is it supposed to be when you shift the transmission ? Mine is sorta stiff but doesn't grind any gears if you can hit the right slot. My stiffest place is when I try and put the shifter in second gear, the slot just to the right of reverse. Seems to be easier when going to second...

    Tail Gate tip

    This is probably a no brainer but drilling a hole in each corner of the tail gate where the foot brackets are bolted will let the rain water drain out when you leave the tail gate down when it rains. Mine didn't have any drain holes and when I would raise the gate the water would splash...

    Any of you guys have any trouble with those Cab Top Bows coming out of the holes ? The vibrations of driving makes some of mine come out of the holes over the front windshield.

    Bottom Deuce Inspection

    When's the last time you guys inspected the bottom of your deuce ? I thought mine was in great shape until I decided to R & R my e-brake assembly and give it a good going over. I had numerous air lines rubbing on sharp objects and the same with the wiring harness plus the brake lines, I don't...

    Trailer Question

    What would a trailer for the Deuce be worth ? I found one that is maybe fair shape with lots of rust but nothing rusted so bad it cant be used. I dont know what model it is but it looks like a trailer for the 2½ - 5 ton ? no data plates I could see but it has two hand brakes in front and a air...

    Cargo Bows & Cover parts Stowage

    I've seen several trucks where they have their cargo cover gear secured behind the cab some way but havent seen a good clear example. I know it should be in a manual somplace or maybe a home made rig. Who would sell these kits ? I need a better way to strore them on the truck when not in use.

    Wheel & Tire Ballance

    I know most people probably don't worry about trying to balance those military tires, but does those small bag of beads that you put in the tube or tire do any good balancing big truck tires? My Dad put something that looked like a bag of fine powder or dust in his motor home tires, I dont...
