    Give me a brake! opinions please (UPDATE)

    Some times the airpack may stick. Have you drained the water from the air tanks? If there is too much water in the air lines the water will cause rust on the inside of the air pack. Some times they won't work, and some times they won't release. If it turns out not to be the master cyl, then you...

    We have one at the museum. I'll look and see what the numbers are for a positive I.D. The bed rolls off of the back and you can drive a vehicle up the bed and then pull it froward and down like a roll back whecker.

    multi-fuel deuce diesels?

    These engines also have a sphere shape in the top of the pistons. So that lighter fuels gasoline, naptha, etc. will puddle in the piston. As the piston travels down on the power stroke the puddle of fuel is sopposed to vaporize and burn. I have this prosess in a TM somewhere, I'll have to dig...

    Sense of fuel level, or lack there-of

    Bjorn you guessed you were getting about 2-3 miles per gallon. On a 8% grade grossing 19000lbs. What speed were you holding? Were you able to hold high gear?

    The Deuce vs. HOA's: How do you guys deal with it?

    Do you have a garage now? Is it possable to lengthen it? Then you could take the top off, lay the windshield down and keep it inside. Or drive it to work every day. Most H.O.A. nazi's troll the streets during the day.

    Converting completely from Sprage....to Air Shift...?

    I just swapped my sprag for a air shift a few months ago. It only took a few hours. As far as the valve goes I picked up a regular flapper valve from truck pro for $9. And i used some 1/4 inch rubber air hose to hook it up. It's one of the best improvements i've made to the truck.

    is it possible to add a pto to a 1983 m35azc which was build

    To add a pto to the T-case you'll need a new T-case from a pipeline truck M-756A2. If your truck doesen't have a winch, then you can install one on the transmission.

    Wheel bearing and seal question

    I just went through my front axle a few months ago. The wheel seal seems to be a military only item. I could'nt find it in my national oil seal book. (fedral mogal) when you see it you'll understand. The I.D. is steel and the O.D. is the rubber. I got mine from boyce equipment. Don't forget the...
