    4" Ram Air Scoop for deuce

    Looks better than it did when I saw it! Man that muffler is huge! At least you got some paint on it now though.

    My first deuce was 550 miles from home. I think m109a2's deuce was around 1000 miles from home. A long distance recovery is mandatory for your first deuce.

    Durability question

    Oh, when you tell them flat, tell the FLAT FLAT. Really emphasize that and tell them you are painting an MV. Also, it sticks best to(you guessed it) 2k primer. You want to prime it and then shoot color just after the primer has flashed off, 15 minutes or so. DO NOT let the primer cure overnight...

    Durability question

    When you order it you have to tell them you want flat, otherwise you will end up with semi- gloss. Flat is perfect as far as the sheen goes, but it is thinner because the additives to flatten it thin it out, so it requires less thinner. I believe xylene is the thinner to use if you need to thin...

    Durability question

    why does nobody listen to me? Diamondkote from your local PPG supplier mixed to your FS paint code is going to be the toughest stuff you can get. it does not fade out in a couple years either. It is epoxy based paint, has a lot of resin in it. This is INDUSTRIAL paint. The shops on Fort Polk...

    Injector disassembly question

    Springs, tips,... Cleaning, and setting pressures... I think. I need to have mine done soon too. I have almost 2000 hours on mine. Service intervals are 1000 hours I believe.

    Injector disassembly question

    No, it won't hurt it. It may evaporate some, just check on it sometimes. You must have the Hornady Hot Tub. That is the same tank I have.

    Sparks under dash

    Get under there and take a look, shouldn't be too hard to find the problem. You are lucky you didn't burn it down.

    Injector disassembly question

    And if you really want it clean, fill the sonic tank with penetrating oil and run it that way.

    Injector disassembly question

    Have you tried soaking them in penetrating oil? And I mean in a penetrating oil bath. Get a gallon of PB blaster from the parts store and fill up a cup with it then drop all the tips in. The ones that aren't stuck will benefit anyway because it will loosen all the carbon/coke that the sonic tank...

    Brakes Deuce what is wrong with this picture

    You are turning them the wrong way. The way you have them there they are adjusted all the way down, and if they are pushing the shoes out, they won't stay.

    M35A2 from Hooks, TX to Daleville, AL

    Bring plenty of tools, and bring 100 mph tape in case the top rips. Also bring extra fuel filters

    M35A2 from Hooks, TX to Daleville, AL

    Out of the five trucks I bought only one had full fluids. One had a bad lower radiator hose, one was missing a fuel filter canister, and two had empty transfer cases and other items low. One was completely drained. None of them had any fuel in them and only one even had any batteries, much less...

    La. To Hooks Tx and back

    I'm leaving at 5:00 am in the morning to pick up two M105 trailers and four pallets of tires and bring them back here for another member. I am driving the deuce so I can pick up some other small to medium items and bring back to Louisiana if anybody needs.

    Recycled oil

    You think that smells bad? Try living downwind from a paper mill. On another note, I have not checked my test group in a couple of days now. Will be gone from very early till very late tomorrow, so will check day after and post an update.

    This can't be good...

    It is probably left over from a previous seal change.
