    Shield Deuce

    Then you'll be happy to know I've decided not to paint it. Aren't you the guy that can look up the serials on these? My other 2 were NG trucks, this one came from CA after the movie people were done with it but I'm curious to know where they got it from.

    Shield Deuce

    Maybe it was good mechanically so they just decided to re-gasket? Idk. It doesn't have any leaks anywhere for that matter.

    That's it out in California. I'd like to know what the auction price was.

    Shield Deuce

    I noticed something while taking the stake sides off the bed. There are several holes drilled in the bed. It looks like something was mounted there. They are drilled near the back of the bed. Does anyone have any ideas? It also came with a really nice condition Treibstoff Jerry can. The enamel...

    Shield Deuce

    I learned something on that aspect. I had always thought all A2s had air horns.

    Thanks. But, I was planning on ditching all of that anyway.

    Shield Deuce

    I found one of the shield Deuces. Apparently it was a prop used in a marvel movie/series. I went to look at it a few months ago buy some expenses came up and I decided to pass on it. A week ago the guy called me up with a can't refuse price and now it is my 7th registered vehicle. It's actually...

    I guess it is about time I introduced myself and a couple questions.

    Welcome to the site. Make sure you have a way to change a tire. Hand truck or appliance truck should help lift the tire into position. As for 6 pt sockets, the harbor freight 3\4 or 1" drive impact sockets are affordable and tough.

    M923A2 White smoke issue

    Haven't checked the history but from what I can tell it had a turret mounted which could suggest deployment. Also it had a bottle of window cleaner from a manufacturer in Kuwait.

    M923A2 White smoke issue

    Thanks for the quick reply. All I know is the motor was replaced or rebuild by the military in 2009. (pretty much a crapshoot I know). The pump looks like it has never been removed.

    M923A2 White smoke issue

    I am in the process of buying an M923A2 with an 8.3 in it. Everything looks good except when it starts there is a ton of white smoke (fuel not coolant). This will continue for about 5 minutes and then will start to slowly reduce. Once the motor is warmed up it still has a haze to it but the...

    M923a2 transfer case lever disconnected?

    That makes sense. I knew about the transfer case problem which is why it had crossed my mind that it had been disabled intentionally. I would like to see if it works so I may hook it back up. The only thing that worry's me is the slight chance that there is something mechanically wrong and by...

    M923a2 transfer case lever disconnected?

    I'm looking at an m923a2 to buy and during my inspection I noticed the transfer case lever is missing its pivot pin. Im wondering why they would have disabled it or if the pin just came out on its own somehow. I would appreciate any opinions. Thanks.

    Tire pressure, mpg, ride quality

    The higher pressure in the rear assumes that the truck is fully loaded at 2500 lbs. Its the same reason pickup trucks have higher rear tire pressures. I run the same front and back on the HMMWV. I run lower rear pressure on my pickup unless I'm hauling something.
