    Cowl panel is rusted out... need some help

    It is a part of the cab, I'm afraid. I suppose you could cut the rusted section out and fab and weld in a new plate... you might loose your vent, though. Otherwise, your either in for a new cab or some serious rust repair. If it makes you feel any better, I've spent the last 3 years putting off...

    1 step forward 2 steps back

    I feel ya. I set out yesterday to do a few simple things on the deuce: replace the oil pressure sender, the oil pressure gauge, the water temp sender, and the air horn. Well, I've got the gauge panel hanging halfway out in the cab, waiting for me to recontort myself in there and plug in the...

    Have you tried a different browser? Maybe try Opera... that sometimes works on sites that FF won't.

    What is this?

    How about the original manifold flame heater? That works better than anything, as far as I'm concerned... but then again I live in GA.

    how to tell sprag or air?

    If I recall correctly, having the front axle engaged does not make much of a difference at all with steering. Make sure your front tires are aired up (I keep mine at 55), and remember you are dragging around two sets of duals behind you. If you have a lever/toggle switch under the dash with an...

    Deuce "M" numbers

    Check the Deuce Wiki, although it may not be in there. I did it for the 5-tons, you can peak in there and see how it's formatted if you want to add it to the deuce wiki.

    What is the best engine they put in a Deuce?

    Patience is key. Take care of your loans first. There will be another one that will pop up when the time is right. Trust me. It will workout. Maybe not as soon as you'd like, but, hey, it's life, after all...

    CUCV in Belgium?

    And there aren't any other ways to get US Surplus vehicles aside from GL? Remember, there have been and still are Army bases in Germany. There are more than a handful of members on here that have CUCVs and live in Germany and that part of Europe...

    limited slip on M35A2?

    Open diffs- the Marines put Detroit lockers in some of their trucks for beach/amphibious landings... but locked diffs would be unfortunate for any sort of on-road driving.

    where to buy cummins glow plug?

    Cool- just making sure because of the "2 1/2 TON TRUCK" in the item description

    where to buy cummins glow plug?

    As long as that's for the Cummins- the Multis use just a sparkplug to ignite the fuel in the intake manifold, not a true glowplug...

    Skidders new LDS Deuce

    It's another Multifuel engine more commonly used in the bigger 5-ton trucks. It is based on the same engine as the LDTs in the Deuce, and is the same size, but has a different block, oil-cooled pistons, and different fuel delivery system that provides much more power. The size similarity makes...

    Wet stacking after startup

    I set my truck at 1000 RPM on the hand throttle and let it sit until it builds up air pressure. This is 300 RPM above what idle is supposed to be, but is not high enough to damage the turbo before it gets fully lubricated. So, yes, the best thing is to high-idle, but not too high.
