We have a 1965 GMC 9500 with a 6-71 in it...I LOVE IT! I don't care if it leaves a half gallon of oil on the ground when we stop, it's awesome!

If you really want to scrap your deuce, I know someone who will gladly take all those unwanted, completely useless, and unsellable parts off of it! :-D. As for convoy lights, I'm just another useless entity to this thread...

This just came to mind....

My steering column was just barely loose right at the dash and it was moving just a hair when I turned sharp. a couple turns on the attachment to the dash, and its as good as new!

Oh yeah, I know it can be fixed, but what I'm trying to say is that it's not one of those noises that I'm too worried about. It's not like a bearing issue or a loose spring hanger. It's more like the body shifting when the frame flexes a little. I've got a day off today, so I'm going to go out...

Eh, I've driven/piloted everything from a 1947 willys jeep, to a 1953 Bell 47. It's not one of those "important" sounds. It's more of a "it's just a normal sound from a 39 year old vehicle" type of thing.

Happens on mine too. Sounds like the frame is creaking a bit, or the steering box is loose. I haven't really paid much attention to it

When we had the filter housing leak on the 3126 it was just a gasket, but the others are right, you need to make sure you know where it is coming from before you start replacing parts. I think it is also common on these engines (i know it is on the 3126) for the rear main seal to leak a little...

Just a guess after looking at pics of a 3116....Turbocharger oil lines? EDIT: I guess either that, or we have had problems on a 3126 with the seal between the filter attachment and the block. We have had to replace that seal twice so far.

Good info guys! Thanks for all the input! I also wanted to ask, can I ground the 12v side of the convertor to the same ground as the 24v system (frame) or do I need to have separate grounds for the 12v system? I think I know the answer to this, but I just want to make sure the gears in my head...

What if I want to charge a 12v car battery with a convertor so I can run my 12v stiff off of a different battery? Do I need to have a some kinda battery charging electronics between the convertor and the battery, or can I just hook the 12v side of the convertor straight to the battery?

12v revisited Ok instead of starting a new thread I just figured I would continue this one. I have a Pyle 24-12v convertor now and I want to hook it up to charge a seperate third battery to run 12v accessories off of...how do I go abouts doing this? Do I need a battery charger between the...

It was a dream come true! A few weeks ago I got a flyer that EAA's B-17 was going to be in Norman, OK, which is only a few hours away, and my brother lives down there. The price was kinda high, but my mom had been asking what I wanted for Christmas, so the lightbulb popped up brightly over my...

Thats awesome!!

I've thought about doing this on several occasions....its so tempting... I used to go through the pizza hut drive through backwards when I had my willys jeep. They thought it was so funny I would usually get a free pepsi out of the deal! I think the deuce would be a little tall to try that...

I've got a coyote painted on the drivers door of my deuce. It was from the South Dakota National Guard. The coyote is their mascot.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! What he said^^

Good job Glen! I had your old deuce idling in the driveway yesterday. Getting ready to go for a spin when an older lady, who I thought was a total stranger, walked up to the house and started asking me about it. Turns out the lady used to cut my hair when I was little! She's had some really...

I don't have any brake issues but just curious; would installing an automatic air dryer help prevent this problem?
