    Little help with some numbers, please!

    The number on the bumper is the turn in document line item number that was your truck. You can confirm this by the turn in paperwork if they left a clpy in the truck as they are supposed to. I am speculating on the hodd but the date is more than likely the date of turn in to DRMO. I can aks...

    got to sell my bobbed Deuce

    If you drive it all the time you can certainly move it with you. We the users are always a little up side down as far as cost is so I vote keep it and take it with you, not that my vote was solicited or actually counts. Good luck to you which ever way you go. On the flip side, you will be...

    Trailer plug disassembly

    You can disassemble it with some elbow grease. I'm not sure but if the cable is long enough perhaps cut off one end with about 8 inches of cable sticking out and save it for an adapter for military truck to civilian trailer. You will be installing another rubber insert and male pins rather...

    Looking for wiring diagram/schematic

    The brake light switch is on the master cylinder if it is the older hydraulic switch...very similar to an older jeep. The 2nd design is an air switch. Locate the plug and remove the plug from the switch and carefully short the wires together while someone watches the brake lights. If they light...

    Head gasket repair walk through - go to post #31!

    Along these similar lines, with the engine out, what do some of you use as an engine stand if you are working on your multi-fuel? I know that there are several styles & brands of actual engine roll over stands available and I purchased an AC Delco stand for my 6.2 out of my CUCV but it was made...

    Does GL issue sf97's with trailers?

    Anything that requires a title and / or registration will receive an SF-97 unless they state specifically in the sale that no title or no SF-97 will be given. A lot of stuff is considered scrap and they should state that. I've seen several trailers requiring EUCs too. jimm1009

    I am going to look at my first Deuce on Sunday......

    #1 rule, take a camera with you on your pre-buy inspection or viewing. A picture can worth many thousands of words when it comes to smal details. Having a Deuce is really great but look at your intended storage, make sure he has a title or will get one BEFORE you give him payment, look at...

    Massively out of balance parking break drum M35A2

    Along this line I wonder if it is worh getting it 9 the drum ) balanced. As an aircraft mechanic I had one owner insisting on having his mains and nose wheels balanced ( on a very small aircraft) so we took them to an automotive shop and they balance them for us. It seems that this could be...

    torque on rear axle nuts.

    As technology changes so does the way of thinking. Attached to my post is the -20 from 1965, the -20-3-2 from May 1981, and the -361-20 from Oct 1991. The oldest and the newest seem to agree in method but the middle one is slightly off-base. The phylosophy of tightening the wheel nut until...

    56 year old vehicle wiring

    When I ordered the harness from Vintage of Maine for my CJ2A in 2006 it came in the original cloth covered loom with a slightly tougher material. There is another vendor (have not used them) (besides Vintage of Maine) advertising in Military Vehicles magazine but I don't have one here at work...
