    muffled the roar

    I wished I had taken a picture of the interior of the muffler before install. It is straight through with a glasspack in the extended portion to absorb some of the noise without impeding flow. There are no changes of exhaust direction through the muffler and it is the same size inside as the...

    muffled the roar

    JATONKA told me he measured a 4 DB difference in his M109 when he installled the same muffler on his deuce. In our conferences, he mentioned that the LDS motor may have a louder exhaust, or at least different in terms of the tone. Even so, I do know that prior to putting the muffler on, it was...

    muffled the roar

    That Blue stack cover is a secret device known only to those who partake of JAVA, a Cup 'o' Joe, or whatever you call it in the morning that starts your day....I hung a weight on it to keep the wind from blowing it off. The truck does anice job of tossing it when it starts. RL

    muffled the roar

    where you can get the muffler The Dynomax #24216 is available from Summit Racing, and Jegs. I had the price they offer matched by a local autoparts store who ordered the muffler in for me. The muffler is a heavy gauge solid metal racing type of muffler which is designed to lower the noise by...

    muffled the roar

    I installed a DYNOMAX 24216 race muffler on my deuce on the advice of our JATONKA and I am extremely pleased with the results. Noise levels are considerably tamed. A deuce will not ever be a "quiet truck" but at least now I can carry on a conversation in the cab at road speed. One nice aspect...

    First Aid Kit and Fire Extingusher

    I carry two Fire Extinguishers and will be carrying at least one first aid kit. One of the extinguishers is CO2 and the other dry chemical. One is on the outside of the cab, rear corner by the driver's door and the other in the cab between the seats. I have an S280 shelter on the back and...

    lockout hub problem

    The hub itself is a very rugged, but fairly simple device. It probably needs to be lubed a bit. Taking it off simplifies that. Did I understand your post correctly, that you only installed one hub in the front? Just curious... RL

    Tow Chains for the Deuce

    Chain is best used as an extension for a winch. Cable is good, but tough on the hands sometimes and harder to coil up and store. If I were in the market for a means of either pulling my duce out or pulling someone else's deuce out I would get a 6" tow strap. 30' at a minimum in length but I...

    Rebuild Wheel Cylinders

    If you are doing a brake adjustment it is almost essential to pull the tires in my opinion. Also you are handling about 400 pounds of tires and hub as opposed to the tires by themselves and the hub by itself. Personally, I would rather handle the separate parts as opposed to finagling a way to...

    Rebuild Wheel Cylinders

    What timing. I am currently in the process of doing a complete replacement of all of my wheel cylinders. I bought new since I could not get the kits and also because I did rebuild one, and decided with dealing with all 6 wheel hub locations, I would replace the rest. I would suggest you get...

    M1008 door window issues

    Here are some pictures of the gasket and vent window assembly. The vent window is so easy to remove. As you can see the outer window gasket/track just pushes into place and the one on the vent window towards the main window snaps in as well. The clip in the dfoor that holds the handle for the...

    M1008 door window issues

    You may be able to use adhesive to reattach the window to the regulator track. The weatherstrip simply presses into the channel of the door where the window rides and is super easy to install. It literally pushes in and snaps into place. If you cannot reattach the glass to the track you can...

    Radiator Cap...the final chapter.

    Overflow tube rottted off My truck's radiator had a few problems when I got it. I obtained the proper solder and flux cleaner at the local welding supply shop and soldered the brackets to the tanks and frame of the radiator where they had been broken off and repaired the joint where the neck is...
