M816, I had about 4 hours actually working on it. At least half of that was cleaning everything and scraping the grooves. Now that I know what to do I could probably do it in about 1 hour a side.

You remove two nuts and two lower bolts to remove the guard per the TM. You reinstall them and the guard after changing the boot. The two nuts in the back are still there. If you look hard, you can see one at the top of the drop light.

I replaced the steering knuckle boots on the Deuce today and had a couple of observations. First, when I got the truck I noticed the zippers always leaked a bit. Not a problem, it wasn't much so I didn't worry about it. Recently the passenger side zipper blew out so I figured now's the time to...

Also check the free play on the brake pedal. I think it wants to be about 1/2 to 1 inch at the pedal, check the TM to be sure. If there is none, the master cylinder will not release pressure.

No, but if I had an oil well I darn sure would. Filter it well, my wife worked for Chevron as a geologist and says all kinds of stuff comes up in the oil depending on the formation you get it out of.

Alabamafrog, All of us without exception, have at one time or another, done something that was probably not a good idea. Most of us did not post pictures of it on the internet! :whistle: Now, with all that said.... Welcome to the site. Here you will find the answer to every question, (if...

It'a all going to rust and rot out if Chris doesn't drain the hot tub before hitting the road!

Looking good Chris.

Get yourself a copy of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations Pocketbook. There are so many rules and regulations that it will take you weeks to figure it all out. Then you can start over because the book is updated monthly. Everything is regulated and it's all in there. In reality...

Listen A/C, if you are going to drive a black truck to ODDBALL's in the dark and park it near his truck or anywhere in the yard for that matter; you are just asking for it. Quote from ODDBALL"I couldn't figure out why I had to give my truck so much gas to back up" :doh:

I like your mud flap reflectors Ray. I need to get some of those for my M818.

I also have Dot 3 in my Deuce. Cheaper and easier to get. You can find Dot 5 on-line reasonably priced ~ $12 a quart. Try Amazon, you can usually get free shipping for over $25.

You can paint it again :beer:!

Considering the shock loading you can get on a pintle hitch; the ultimate load is going to be 1.5X minimum and is probably 2X or more. Squirt-Truck is right. You will pull the hitch off the back of the truck first.

That's the idea. The coolant won't burn. Oil will not burn well and smoke a lot. Diesel will light right up and burn easily.

Didn't have a camera with me Pete and the cell phone camera doesn't quite cut it. If there were pictures, they would show woods with dirt roads through them. :beer:

Get some of the leaked fluid on a paper towel and put a match to it; see if it burns. That will tell whether it is fuel, oil or coolant.

I flew over the east side of Richloam west to 471 today; basically following center grade road. I didn't see much water at all. The power line road was mostly dry. I looked at some of the smaller side roads to the north and south and they were pretty dry too. I didn't have time to go all the...

Anybody have a couple of shackle mounts with shackles off a Deuce or M818?

If we are slow Sunday I'll fly over and have a look.
