I'm looking to buy a M816 wrecker. Does anyone know of any for sale in western Michigan or northern Ohio or Indiana? TIA, Lee

I'm interested in acquiring a M816 wrecker. GL has a few listed at Ft Indiantown Gap/Anneville PA to be auctioned at the end of February. Is there anyone out there with some knowledge of 800 series trucks or M816s who would do a preview for me? Better yet, does anyone know a truck mechanic at Ft...

I'm wondering what those of you with 5 ton tractors are paying for insurance - particularly those with commercial plates and insurance. Historical registration would be too restrictive for what I have in mind. What GCVW to do register your trucks at and how much is your insurance? One guy I...

I recently purchased a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD LT2 Crew Cab 4x4 pickup with the Duramax Diesel and Allison 6 speed auto trans. A great truck, 365 hp, 660 ft-lbs of torque, this baby can really fly. It is rated to pull a 13,000 lb tag trailer and 13,600 lbs with a gooseneck or fifth...

Does anyone know of a place with a good price on Air-O-Matic Power Steering? APB at M35Products has it for $1800, I thought I saw it someplace for $1200-$1300 but I don't remember where.

Someone on a recent thread recommended the Harbor Freight Earthquake air impact wrenches for Deuce lug nuts & caps. I had an old el cheapo 1/2" impact that I tried using without much success, it just didn't have to power to do the job. I found a few used Earthquakes on Epay, since I already had...

I need a 24V 1 hp 3000-3600 RPM motor to build up a prelubrication system for my Deuce. I have searched the web for dozens of hours with no luck. Does anyone have a source for such a motor? I was able to locate an 8000 RPM motor, but that is way too fast to run any hydraulic pump I can find. I...

Engine Prelubricator Following are some pics Dmetalmiki sent me of the engine prelubricator which came installed on his M62 wrecker. He has a problem posting pics so he sent them to me to post for him. It was first mentioned in the "Check Valve for Oil Filters?" thread in the mods/hot rodding...

I have a LDT465 multifuel with a "C" turbo in my Deuce. Does anyone have (or have an idea how to install) a "Stealth" Muffler on a Deuce? I'm looking for something which would not change the outward appearance of the deuce (no stack mounted mufflers please). I love my Deuce and the "C" turbo...

I have a couple of general questions concerning the air-hydraulic unit used on the Deuce. I have searched the 209 and 361 series -20 through -34P manuals and cannot find much info on the AHU. First, does anyone have an exploded view of the AHU? the -34P TM only shows the AHU as a single part...

There is what appears to me to be a M816 Wrecker bed, crane and winch for sale on Ebay. A rural volunteer fire department in Arkansas acquired what looks like a M816 (or larger) wrecker and are removing the bed, crane and rear winch to install a water tank. Asking price $8995 if anyone is...

I SEVERELY need a new master cylinder for my Deuce. My Deuce has developed a master cylinder leak. Saturn Surplus has new M/Cs for $100, but no rebuild kits, Ted's Trucks N Stuff wants $82.00 for a new M/C. Does anyone have a line on a more reasonably priced new or rebuilt Deuce Master Cylinder...

Does anyone have a junk fuel injector nozzle they can part with? Doesn't make any difference if the nozzles are plugged or not, just as long as it will seal to the cylinder head. I need one to make an adapter for my cylinder balance tester. I'll have to take it apart and pull out all the...

OK, here is the deal. This forum, and the Deuce forum, have had an untold number of rants about the dry start condition on the multifuel engine due to the lame, upside down cannister filters that the original designers decided to put on the engine. There have been many expensive, labor intensive...

OK, who had the source for cheap BFS? I remember seeing a thread where someone was buying it for $30/container (not sure but I think is was per gallon). Anyone sen it any cheaper? My master cylinder is leaking like crazy, I am ordering a new one, but 12+" of snow on the ground, temps ranging...

George, VTCSM37, has some Packard connectors listed on Epay if anyone is interested. They are not mine, I have no connection with George other than being VERY satisfied with several purchases I have made from him...

Anyone have any ideas for an inexpensive comset for a Deuce cab? It doesn't have to be original military, although that would be a good touch if the price were reasonable. I'm just looking for a headset/microphone combination to preserve what is left of my 60 year old hearing, prevent hearing...

I thought I read in a post recently that there are some new (or updated) Deuce manuals on LOGSA. I can't find the original thread, Can someone point me in the right direction - Like maybe the TM numbers for the new/updated manuals?

My Deuce has developed a master cylinder leak. Saturn Surplus has new M/Cs for $100, but no rebuild kits. Does anyone have a line on a Deuce M/C rebuild kit or a reasonably priced Master Cylinder? I can't find anything listed in the Steel Soldiers X-reference list.

I stopped by the local auto parts store today (the same one who actually has Deuce wheel bearings in stock!) to pick up a can of DOT 5 brake fluid to top off my master cylinder. No problem, he trotted out a can of brake fluid labeled DOT 5.1. What a deal, I thought at first. They must have...
