    replacement whistling turbo

    The "C" (whistler) and "D" (quiet) turbos have different part numbers, but they are not, to the best of my knowledge, marked with a part number or any other identification to be able to differentiate between the two, you have to look at them to tell which is which. There are two readily visible...

    RE: mod pristene m35a2 w/w or trade/buy m275 comments?? trad Gotta go with Clinto on this one. Why hack up a pretty cherry truck when there are plenty of cheap project trucks out there?

    Added a resonator to my truck

    ODC - How about a Flowmaster part number, dimensions and price? What are the inlet/outlet fittings (3"ID x 3"OD?)? Baffled or straight through? Did it just "make a difference", or did it "make a BIG difference"?

    Spray paint on CARC

    Brake cleaner or acetone and scrub with one of those kitchen sponges with sponge on one side and a plastic scouring pad on the other side (use the scouring pad side). Acetone on a rag MAY wipe off the spray paint. Unfortunately CARC is designed to absorb contaminants so the paint/markings will...

    "Stealth" Muffler for a Deuce?

    Good memory. I did install a Car Chemistry collector insert in my top stack last fall. Cold weather and my wife's medical problems prevented me from taking any hard measurements with my sound meter. I did see a noticeable decrease in exhaust noise, I'm guessing maybe 5-7 dBa or so, but the truck...

    "Stealth" Muffler for a Deuce?

    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...

    Airpack Questions

    Thanks Bjorn and Boatcarpenter. I suspected something along the lines of a secondary brake apply cylinder with air assist actuated by fluid from the master cylinder. Bjorn - Where did you find the exploded pic of the AHU? Is there an electronic manual somewhere that I can download?

    Airpack Questions

    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...

    Fuel line fittings

    BTW, if you look closely at the compression line (the lower fitting), you can see that the tubing is depressed on either side of the compression ring. This is caused by compression ring compressing the tubing. One of Connie's tips was to use a brass ferrule INSIDE the tubing to take up come of...

    50 year old M52 getting it ready to drive home

    I wrenched for many years at the "Shade Tree Garage", helped to earn my way through college and earned me extra pocket money for a long time thereafter. Got my "basic training" by helping out at the local garage and "on the job training" as I went along. I ALWAYS put a coat of chassis lube or...

    My '70 Kaiser Jeep was rebuilt and repainted at Tooele Army Depot in '89, OD CARC interior and 3 color Camo CARC exterior. Both doors have "CARC 1989" stenciled in black on the inner door panel slightly below the window level.

    Changing tires

    RE: bead breaker Ditto what gimpyrobb says. That works, but make sure you have wraps all around the ring - wrap a turn of chain through each hand hole in the wheel center, then use a grab hook to hold the chain when you get back to the beginning. I used to be a paramedic. We had a run at local...

    M44 headlight doors.. how many different styles are there?

    My 1970 Kaiser Jeep appears to have the same headlight doors as Clinto's. If you look real close, you can see the knock-out for the electric horn below the right headlamp.

    Bumper Numbers ID

    A agree with emmando22, except in my days we had M151s instead of Humvees. I was the HHC clerk, so I drove the Company Commander. Our Mutt had 26 S&T (for 26th Supply and Transport Battalion) on the front right/left rear bumper, and HHC-6 on the left front/right rear bumper. The HHC CO was the...

    Remote Oil Filters...Done.

    Math is right, concept is wrong. .360" ID = .1018 sq in x 4 = .4072 sq in total area for oil flow. The stock Deuce oil cannister bolts have four 3/16" ID holes in each. A 3/16" ID hole = .02758 sq in x 8 (two bolts) = .2206 sq in total area for oil flow, so your bolt has nearly twice the area...
