    MVs headed to scrap, anyone need any parts?

    I forgot to ask before. Do any of the Deuces have the newer style parking brake lever? I need the two mounting brackets that mount lever assembly to the floor. Thanks Chuck

    MVs headed to scrap, anyone need any parts?

    If the second set of brackets is still available, what's the price for them? I may be interested. The next big question is how much do you think to ship to my location in Dexter, MI 48130. Thanks Chuck

    Legal questions

    Jimbo, I move from TN five years ago. I had just purchased plates for all my vehicles in September and moved in October. I had to get new plates all around. I could not "get by" as I am a LEO. They kind of check these things when you start work. I also have to "set an example". My uncle has...

    Legal questions

    Jimbo, You can probably get away with it but most states require you to get new plates and driver's license within 30 days from taking up residence in the state. The problem comes in when you get stopped and have a Utah DL and Nevada plates. You can probably get by but I don't think you...

    starting advice

    Spicergear is right. All engines that I have worked on have the filter directly after the pump in the oil path. This is why most new oil filters have an anti-drain back valve so that oil will not drain from the filter back into the sump. This gives pressure to the system faster. Deuce filters do...

    need help finding where to get ether canisters

    Armada, I put on a new top and cargo cover. I had to reground the ether injection and put in a longer hose for the windshield washer. The parking brake lever and cable is shot, and the speedometer does not work. The cable and adapter is fine so the problem is in the transfer case. I need...

    need help finding where to get ether canisters

    Disclaimer: I don't want to start a use it or don't use it thread. I can not find a local source for ether canisters for the cold start system on my deuce. Can anyone help with a source or possibly let me know a ball park price? I checked my local truck stop shops and got a "huh what?" reaction...

    Side exit exhaust

    One of our trucks in the army had the side exhaust. It was an m35a2 but I don't think it was turbo. I think all the turbo's had the stack exhaust with no muffler to reduce exhaust temps and save the turbo.

    Help with wiring on Ether Injection.

    Thanks. I knew this thread was out there but could not find it by search. It seems that I just need to connect my mystery wire to ground then the system will be all set. That is assuming I have ether in the canister. I can start it without the ether in the 20s but I did not get a chance to try...

    Help with wiring on Ether Injection.

    I was looking under the hood of my newly acquired Deuce and I noticed that the temperature sending unit for the ether injection has one terminal connected to a wire running toward the firewall. The other has part of a solderless connecter. It looks like this was a broken connector to connect...

    Where to get floor brackets for the new style parking brake?

    Where is the best place to get the two brackets that attach the newer style parking brake hangle to the floor? I have an older style ratchet handle that is worn out. I also need the cable. Is there any good junk yards in my area to check or do any parts suppliers seem to stock off the wall stuff...

    How does one use the new type push button light switch?

    I got one and installed it but I could not get it to work. It allows the turn signals to work all the time and I could only get the service drive to flash then go off. The buttons were orange then I pushed the service drive and then enter and the buttons turned blue then went off. This was at...

    Any problems with tapping one battery for 12v accessories?

    The light I was talking about is a map light from my old patrol car. I will have to check and see if the bulb is available in 24 volt. It is unique in that it is mounted on a flexible metal shaft and it gives of a red light to fit with the tactical theme of the vehicle. I have to have a 12volt...
