IMPORTANT - NEW RULES BY DoD FOR SALES OF SURPLUS PROPERTY - COMMENTS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY DEC 26th Sorry about not getting this out sooner. I received the email from GL(for once GL is looking out for US) at the end of this message Dec 22 and only got around to reading it closely tonight. The...

There is a brand new NOS ether start kit on Ebay for anyone who might be interested. Not mine, just posted in case someone is looking for one. Search for item # 190064630475 if the link doesn't work. It was at $45 when I posted this...

Take a look at the photo below of my Deuce. Between the morning of Friday, 12/01/06 and the afternoon of Monday, 12/04/06 we received 16" of snow (ask me about "Lake Effect Snow"). I decided to fire up the Deuce and take it for my first ride in the snow. The air temp was about 15F and the...

I just bought a subdueded NOS bridge plate kit. I'd love to install it on my Deuce, but it did not come with any instructions. It came with a couple of bracket and a package of nuts and bolts, do I'm kind of at a loss here. Is there a TM/TA anyplace that describes how to install the bridge plate...

Now that I have your attention, I am actually wondering how exhaust smoke afffects fuel mileage. Here is my situation - when I first brought my Deuce home from the DRMO, the engine was hard starting, had all the balls of a neutered poodle (it would only get up to 2350 RPM in 5th on a level...

I have a similar problem as Banshee365 - The inner clamp on my left steering knuckle boot keeps coming off. When I brought the truck home from the DRMO, I noticed grease coming out from around the inner boot seal. I assumed the boot had a tear, and ordered a new boot and set of clamps from...

I might be parting out a LDT465 or two in the near future. I'd like to get a fair price for my parts without gouging the buyer. What is a fair price for the following parts: a. A good used starter? b. A good used alternator? c. A good used air compressor? d. A good used "D"Turbo e. A good...

I won two Deuce engines from GL in Columbus OH. Is there anyone in the area who could (for a suitable fee, of course) pick them up and store them for a week or two until I can make arrangements to transport them home!

I have an ad in the classified section, but that does not seem to be working, so here it is. I still have some neat Deuce combo wheel lug sockets avaialble CHEAP! These are impact sockets, 3/4" drive, fits both the 1-1/2" hex wheel lug nut and 13/16" square inner wheel cap. Steel Soldiers price...

I bought a couple of LDT465 engines from GL in Columbus OH. I'm planning of taking the Deuce down there to pick them up, but don't look forward to the 800 mile round trip. Is anyone coming up this way in the late Sept - mid Oct time frame who would be interested in picking them up and bring them...

I changed the oil filters on my Deuce today with a fresh set of Baldwin filters. The base gaskets were a perfect fit, but the red fiber washer which goes under the head of the hollow cannister hold down bolt wasn't even close, so I had to reuse the old washers. Filled her up with fresh oil...

Inspired by the pics of Warren's (G744) impeccable gauge panel with the blue high beam lens, I ordered a new blue lens from Saturn. After a considerable amount of work with a screw driver and pliers, I got the lens cover off and screwed the blue lens in place. Really neat, untill I took it for a...

I've been somewhat curious what sort of fuel mileage I'm getting with my Deuce, so I ran a little test. My fuel gauge doesn't work (although I did fix that yesterday with a new fuel gauge), so I had made up a dip stick calibrated in gallons in order to keep track of how much fuel I had in the...

I love driving my Deuce - except in the rain, my cab leaks like a sieve. I think I'd stay dryer in the rain with the top off and windshield folded down! I have all the usual gaps between the windshields and windshield frame, and the side windows and window frames. I plan on installing new...

For all of you out there looking to install spin on oil filters on their Deuces, I have found a ray of hope for you! In my quest to find a way to adapt the Amsoil BMK-13 full flow/bypass remote filter kit to my Deuce (posted at...

My fuel gauge has never read properly since I got it from the DRMO. Regardless of how much fuel in the tank, it always measured between 1/2 and full on the gauge, which I know is wrong since I can't afford to fill the tank and generally run between 1/4 and 1/2 tank of fuel. I tried the...

Does anyone have a place they would recommend to have my engine oil tested? I've found a couple of places on the internet but know nothing about them. Average price seems to be in the $25 range. I'd want the usual trace metals tests plus soot. Maybe silica and pH, but they are not all that...

OK, for all you folks trying to figure out how to replace those sucky upside down cartridge oil filters on your Deuce - Here is some more food for thought. Why not go with a remote spin-off filter mount (note that this extracted from my thread on the FS-2500 remote bypass filter post). Amsoil...

There has been quite a few posts asking about the purpose that tubular mount on the passenger's side door. Often used for mounting convoy flags, is it also used for mounting a 50 cal machine gun ring mount. Here, courtesy of fellow MVer Mike Wee from Hawaii, is a photo of the mount with "Ma...

I've got a front axle knuckle boot that I think needs replacing. Not a serious problem as of yet, the boot is not torn, it just looks like the boot pulled out of the inner clamp. Just to be on the safe side I ordered a new boot, inner and outer clamp from Saturn (thank got for our supporters!)...
