Ok, replaced the brake lines in the rear. Why are they zip tied to the dog bones in the rear. Is this a requirement? Side note pedal stops 2.5" from floor correct?

ca1517 my bad thought it was there's. That what I call a truck. 73m819 I agree very well stated.

Ok.. Made it to the house at 8pm. No problems other than the steady drip of gear oil out of my air switch for the front axle. Check out this thread, hope it helps http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/13769-front-axle-air-switch-again.html

They put all the jeeps up front and most of the deuces in the back. There is a divide between the jeep crowd and the deuces etc. I had a conversation with Clinto about this as well. Seems like the older jeep folks don't understand this group. This was not last minute they previewed the...

If it's 2-3" then I would cut the pipe down and weld the flange back.

I would clean the battery connections, starter connections (pull the battery leads off first),and clean the grounds. Charge batteries then go from there. I had similiar problem because one of my battery terminals was loose.

TM Chapter 8 covers the brakes if you need to replace the airpack it could help. Like page 600 http://old.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?module=pagesetter&type=file&func=get&tid=1&fid=file&pid=13

I would check springs first. I bet one broke. Chapter 8 http://old.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?module=pagesetter&type=file&func=get&tid=1&fid=file&pid=13

I will always like the push to start. Just feels right. The only people that would notice a keyed switch would be another deuce owner. I say make your truck the way you want it.

Did you try lubing the airpack with air tool oil?

Here you go:D last one is mine sitting in drive way "no brakesaua" it was there in spirit. FYI: I saw Clinto get on I-75 South.

Well, every one is leaving had fun.

There is a brake light switch on the air pack. You will have to bleed the brakes though when you replace it. That's were I would go first.

Seems like all the small jeeps are up front. Many of the steelsoldiers are in the back.

I will take photo's tomorrow afternoon.

There was about 20 vehicles. May 10 duece, an old m211, and a nice 5 ton. Good people and I have enjoyed meeting fellow members.

Got my part to fix my deuce brakes this after noon. Hope to roll in on Saturday morning. Clinto, Carnac is watching over your truck and trailer. I don't know any one is going sleep 100ft from the train track it's loud. Hopefully there will be a big crowd this weekend.

Lance How do you flush the gear oil in the winch? Drain, overfill, drain, and then fill to proper level? I saw the tm about adjusting the winch. How do you clean the brake? Remove the cover spray with brake cleaner maybe? I would love for some one to post the correct material to buy. Until...

Air activated engage system for transfer. Just start going through all the old threads there is plenty of stories about sprags failing.
