Look at the carburetor pictures in the Org.Maintenance manual- that should show pretty much everything that ever dreamt of being hooked up to the carburetor.
Lots of folks on here have such markings stenciled on their vehicles and haven't had any trouble... the important thing is to ALWAYS have insurance and registration with you just in case.
Take a packing peanut or two, and drop one in water, and another in acetone. Then you'll see which solvent you need to use to dissolve the ones remaining in your turbo. I say this because it is nigh on impossible to tell a water-soluble/starch-based peanut from the traditional styrofoam ones...
I'm going to take that as a compliment... for now, at least.
For those who care, I uploaded the pictures we took at the rally here.
If you have some of your own, feel free to email them to me. I'll add them to what I've got there.
I'm pretty sure there are other threads that cover this more in-depth (several folks have swapped the LDS into their deuces), but I'm no good at digging things up.
Basic differences:
Different IP/injectors
Dipstick on opposite side of the pan
Oil-cooled pistons
Different turbocharger
I think...
I'm surrounded by these types of developments (the three immediately surrounding our lot have 500+ homes in no more than 75 acres each...). I've driven through them, but never tried to go park in someone's driveway for fear that I would have no way to turn around and get back to the main drag.
I know that conditions are probably entire different down here in GA, but I just put a tarp over the cab and use ratchet straps to get it nice and taught... keeps all the weather out. If you get a tarp of heavy-enough material, snow shouldn't be a problem. As for the hind-end of the deuce, well...
Very Impressive! At least you know those sleepless nights were worth it. I know the best work I've every done was putting almost an entire Ford tractor back together in one night- and I started at 11 PM...
Very nifty way to haul your Bobcat.
You have to have the plate to bolt in place of the PTO when you remove it, otherwise the transmission lube will just come right out... sell the PTO to someone and get them to send your their PTO cover.
I dunno, Gimp, most of the stuff on the ole 3/4-ton seems to have been designed in the neolithic era... not sure that's compatible with compressed-air wipers.
...not that I don't love my M37, but you gotta admit.
Redpawn- You could also look into switching to 24v electric wipers... losta...
The first place to start is to find someone nearby with a deuce, and go have them give you the run-down and crash-course on deuce care, maintenance, and driving. After that, you'll for sure want one badly, but will be better prepared to get it.
cranetruck installed an exhaust brake from (if I'm not mistaken) an Isuzu box truck on his deuce, and (again, If I recall correctly) found it very useful with mountain driving.
Hopefully someone can chime in with more than just a second-hand testimonial.
