    Need help Identifying this Deuce and a Half

    That would be a M54A2 (Data plate even says 5-ton cargo, so not a Deuce....)

    (Was) on the road, no lights HET

    Truck looks factory-new...! Interesting, you said 2013? I can only imagine that that is a rebuild date, since it is my understanding that they already had the A1 version, by that time.

    65 Kaiser M35A2 project starts

    If 130 was true you should be able to rest your bare hand on the upper radiator tank, for longer than a few seconds. The hood itself was prob hotter than that, if it was sunny and 113 outside...

    Funky steering

    You mean the wear marks on that axle shaft yoke....(?) It happens when the steering knuckle has excessive up-down play. Or if someone used the wrong bolts (too long), where #30 goes.

    Funky steering

    :giggle: ..... kind of, ha-ha. That spindle - as far as what can be seen in the pic - looks OK to me. That stubborn bearing cone could just be stuck there because of a little rust, or much worse, it froze on the spindle, if it spun dry. Let's hope not... Assuming you don't have the right type...

    Funky steering

    No, not when you pull a M35 hub/drum assembly .... The inner bearing cone (3994) will always stay in place until we pull it off of the spindle -usually with very little effort, since this is not a press fit. These trucks use "cup-type" seals, pressed-on and stationary to the spindle, with the...

    M35A3 Rim Restoration and Tire Swap Project (Picture-Heavy)

    Interesting..... I know what MPT stands for, but never heard of "NPT", related to tire bead styles...:? Did you find that in a catalog for tires? ... Or wheels?

    Funky steering

    That's way too much toe in. In my experience, radials on these trucks should run almost parallel. (= close to zero toe-in). Besides that, you want to check your caster angle. 3-4 deg positive is what works best, with radials. From factory, they come with 1-2°, at most.

    Exhaust manifold bolt size?

    If it's a N/A 6.5L (non-turbo) the bolts are Allen-head 12.9-grade M10 x 1.5 x L25mm. The turbo version HMMWV 6.5L takes 10.9 flange hex-head bolts, 10.9 M10 x 1.5. Shorter ones are 45mm long; the longer ones measure 65mm.

    Deuce power steering conversion

    Since I bought these gears "already pulled" I can't tell for sure. Supposedly, FORD F600-800 from the late 70's. Knowing the stamped model number it helps to narrow down the possible application. (see attached chart, below) Depending what model HF54 you have, it either has a fully splined output...

    Water in engine valley (6.5L, no turbo)

    That! (I should have added "from the bottom, only", in my previous post.)

    Water in engine valley (6.5L, no turbo)

    Give it a good blow with compressed air. (After the vacuuming, not before...) Flush and repeat if necessary.
