    I wanted to pick your brains and see if you could help me with what could be a major

    I guarantee you there's a section in the TM on adjusting the parking brake. There are (I think) two adjusting screws/bolts on the parking brake mechanism that you use to adjust it... you don't have to take it apart. I have never done it myself, but I've had the process explained to me, and I've...

    Dist vacume advance.

    With the exception of lines coming off the vacuum pump side of the fuel pump, almost all metal lines going straight to the intake air horn are vent lines... and since the ole '37 was designed to be forded with minimum preparation, there are a LOT of vent lines.

    HOA booted the Deuce

    Ex-post-facto is correct! Here's your legal e-cookie... oops, that's against County Ordnance XYZ BS.

    M35A3 No Winch / Install?

    If I'm not mistaken the A3s used a hydraulic winch. I honestly can't remember though, that may be the M939 series 5-tons.

    She Made It Home

    Glad you made it home safely. A muffler helps a lot. Trust me, you can still hear it, but it doesn't do permanent damage. As for driving in urban areas: PLAN AHEAD.

    Synthetic oil

    Depends on what type of "synthetic" motor oil it is. If it's stuff like Amsoil (the original synthetic motor oil) and such, then it's "true" synthetic, while the quart-bottle-stuff that you see at Advance or Auto Zone or whatever that's name-brand (Valvoline, Pennzoil, etc) that is supposedly...

    out of commission

    think infection-killing thoughts! That stuff's nasty, but everyone I know who's had to deal with it has come out in the end with no more problems.

    Help (SOS) for flyusn99

    Good deal! Glad to hear that you guys are taking care of him and his truck.

    another new guy :)

    I know that the military engine can have the fuel pump and carb swapped for civvy ones no problem, so if you do indeed have a civilian engine block, getting military peripherals on there shouldn't be a problem. The other thing to look at is the distributor. If it is just a standard, round civvy...

    Towing M37 w/M35A2

    The M37 is about 15 feet long while the deuce bed is only 12 feet long. The width isn't a problem, M37 at 6 feet and the deuce bed at about 7.5.

    New member needs Deuce advice

    Before you do anything: Read this wiki article. It will answer most of your questions. Then read the Operator's Manual, which is linked to at the bottom of the article. Deuce - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite Then take pictures and post them here! EDIT: Actually, the wiki...

    Got my deuce :)

    Might I advise driving around the yard and small, local roads before making any road trips? There's a time and a place for making mistakes in the deuce (the yard is the best, from experience), and in traffic is neither of those. Nice truck, I like the 3 color camo that looks like it should be...

    Now lets see your truck in the snow

    3" here in Alpha-tucky. We drove backwards through the system the whole way down I85 from Clemson back to Atlanta. Made it home just as it was getting nasty. Unfortunately no chance to play with the deuce in it. Just some purdy pictures.

    Awesome! I especially love high-quality footage of our trucks!

    Does anyone double-clutch?

    I double clutch from 1st to 2nd in High Range. Aside from that, I only double clutch back down. No reason to for me, because my truck shifts like a dream. Now, if your truck doesn't like to shift (and it's not just bad driving technique), then you may have to double clutch. No two trucks are the...

    Does my deuce sound like it's missimg?

    If you don't already have a muffler (which I presume you don't), get one. It makes it much more bearable, but you can certainly still hear the Multi do it's job!

    Does my deuce sound like it's missimg?

    Sounds like mine does at idle.
