    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Well today was a good day. I went to pull off the spare tire mount, and found it would be virtually impossible without pulling the air tanks out. The bed is off so I can get to the bolts. NONE of them stripped out, that's gotta be a first. All the air line fittings came off easily too...

    winch

    Most guys on here are GROWN MEN, not just some "dude". Many have served in the military, or have been in this particular hobby for quite some time and have extensive experience and knowledge and are due some respect. Especially when their their title is ADMINISTRATOR, and yours is PRIVATE...

    It's what's under the hood that counts

    I never really cared for Cat engines, they never seemed to be especially powerful or sound all that distinctive. They're reliable, just nothing to get excited about to me. Of course for a deuce, that's a lot of engine. I'd rather have a Cummins personally, just my flavor.

    Budd lug nut question

    I took off the duals to go through the axles and paint, but on one wheel, I was taking the nut off and it stuck on the end of the cap, and then the cap came off, leaving it stuck in the hole in the rim. I'm thinking I might have to cut it off to get it out of the rim. Does anyone know if these...

    Fire Extinguishers in our MVs

    We're not off topic, we're still talking about using extinguishers. Glad to hear you volunteered, you sound like you'd be a good asset.

    Fire Extinguishers in our MVs

    Didn't the neighbor inform you if everyone was out?? Once everyone is out, it's just a house. I'm sure you're more valuable than a building. I still think you should see about volunteering with the FD, sounds like they need more people.

    Fire Extinguishers in our MVs

    First off, it's great that you were able to help your neighbor. But on the flip side, you just about killed yourself in the process. Please don't think a gas mask is a suitable substitute for SCBA. While a gas mask MAY filter out some gases, it WILL NOT make up for the lack of oxygen. That...

    Duda sock filters

    Does anyone here use these? I bought some 4x16" ones (10,1, and 0.5 micron) and the disk they fit on and I'm trying to figure out the best way to use them. For simplicity sake, I'm just plan on using gravity to provide pressure. I'll have a reservoir at the top made from a 4" PVC pipe, that...

    Any suggested improvements on my WMO filter setup before I use it?

    Uh, wouldn't gasoline be on top?? And oil would be in the bottom third would it not? I think you're off on the order of specific gravities. http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/specific-gravity-liquid-fluids-d_294.html

    Fuel leak on line coming out of passenger side filter.

    Take it apart again and make sure there's not a crack in the flare or the nut. And double check that there's not a piece of dirt that's gotten in there. There's also the possibility that it's been stretched out too much to seal.

    I want to get a Deuce.

    We aren't wrong. And you can probably double the price of insurance just for being in NY. And just because you've driven a car a couple of times, it does not by ANY stretch of the imagination mean that you are an experienced driver. You SHOULD NOT be counting on driving a deuce as your first...

    I want to get a Deuce.

    Learn how to drive a car first. Your insurance will cost you more than the truck.

    Jerry Can Strap: What is NSN on old one?

    I don't think I ever remember any can mounts in the military ever having two straps, they always just had the one running through the handle and that's it. I don't ever remember any of the cans ever falling out either, at least with a good strap on the holder.

    deuce tool box removal.

    You also can drill through the head of the bolts with a bit the same size as the threads. Nothing is usually easy to remove when it come to the body bolts and nuts, they're usually rusted unless it's a southwestern truck.

    Mixing WMO & WVO, recommendations?

    I have aquired about 25 gallons of WVO and about 70 of WMO and I'm planning of filtering it to use in an M35A2. I'm still accumulating it as well. I've tried looking up any previous threads on the subject, but really couldn't find any that answered my questions about doing this. First off, I...

    Anybody interested in steps for a deuce?

    They would be shipped from 43061 (Central Ohio). I don't know the weight, but I don't think shipping would be too much. I just may get a batch of the plain ones made and go from there.

    in tank fuel pump plugs

    Those will do Gimp, but let me know if you see a left fender that's available. I just wanted one local (Ohio) so I don't have to pay a fortune in shipping.

    in tank fuel pump plugs

    No, that's exactly it. (thanks Jason) It would be nice if they had them already wired, but that's not a big deal to crimp a couple of ends.

    in tank fuel pump plugs

    Does anyone know if anybody has just the electrical plug end for the in tank pump on the deuce? Mine is pretty ragged, but I just need the plug end, the harness is ok for now.
