I believe the main purpose for adding the turbo was to reduce smoke, not add power. Unless you want a turbo, I'd leave it the way it is.

My A3 didn't come with a step like my A2 has. I'm going to add a step to my A3. Whatever is done, safety is paramount. There is a lot of iron out front that can do a lot of damage if you land on it. It is also critical to secure the hood with the latch once opened. A little wind can ruin...

I would start by calling GL and ask what they recommend in a case like this. You can also try to contact the guy on the SF97 and see if he will sign it over to you.

I'm convinced that lower viscosity is the main reason the Allison transmission shifts much more smoothly and quicker with the ATF than the motor oil. I drove my A3 again yesterday and I am amazed at how much better the transmission feels. My transmission is the 1545, which locks up, and the...

You are correct and I should have given you credit! Those valves are working out great for me.

If you suspect coolant in the oil, I would drain it and check. If kept clean, you can put it back in if you don't find any coolant and it isn't due for an oil change. I would clean the engine as thoroughly as you can where the leaking oil is located and then try to locate the source. Try to...

I'm very sorry to hear about your situation. Welcome to the site. If you really must sell your CCKW, you should post it in the Classified Ads.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers. You'll find a lot of good information here. Good luck finding your CUCV. Beware - MVs are an addiction.

You can get the 1-1/4 brass pipe from any good plumbing supply house. They may have to order the pieces you need, but they are readily available., except for one. You will definitely have trouble locating the 1-1/4 X 3/4 X 1-1/4 brass T. Wholesale Supply Group had to special order one for me...

I agree the M715 is a neat vehicle and fairly reliable. The only issues I remember with the M715 from my Army days was a problem with lubrication on the top end of the Tornado engine and overheating problems with the transfer case. I drove one for a while in the early 70s and would love to...

The numbers on my 69 Kaiser dataplate are 32525922 4N21469. I have eight digits on the VIN, same as you, so I believe your VIN is 10872005. I have seven digits in my registration number. You only have six digits listed. The last 66 is obviously correct since you have a 66 model. The rest...

I would be careful using lead shims behind the weight. Lead flows very easily under pressure. When the nut is torqued down, you can get the proper torque setting, but as the lead is squeazed out, the torque setting will relax, possibly causing loss of air at the o-ring seal in that part of...

I'm glad you didn't have an accident, tear up your truck, or something worse! With the Deuce having a single circuit brake system, it is actually quite amazing that more brake failures don't occur. These 40+ year old trucks have a lot of brake components that can fail due to aging hoses...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers. I'm in Hiawassee in North Georgia. You definitely need to make plans to attend the Georgia Rally. I'm partial to Deuces.

I just had another thought. You might want to try removing the belts. It could be that something locked up, such as the pump, alternator, etc. and the squealing you heard was the belt slipping. The smoke you mentioned could have been from the belt slipping and burning, putting out the smoke...

You may not be able to see much through the inspection cover. Assuming you don't, try to turn the crankshaft backwards with a breaker bar. I would also go ahead and drop the pan. You may have spun a bearing.

Don't forget to check out the throwout bearing and pilot bearing.

There are optional double-row seats for deuces and 5-tons that fit in the middle for the purpose of doubling the troop-carrying capacity. I have seen several deuces fitted out that way, but all still with active Army. My daughter works at Fort Gillem in Forest Park, GA and the Army is still...

I've been running one wheel with all CTIS components installed, sans the rock guard. I do have the extra nuts installed that secures the rock guard. I haven't noticed any difference in the way it runs. I capped the hollow lug as well, and screwed valve with bushing into the valve stem to...
