I just replaced the speedometer cable on my Deuce. Very cheap and only took a few minutes. I would go ahead and replace it.

I have two Midland GMRS radios that I use quite heavily. I live on 32 acres in Towns County in a very heavily wooded and mountainous area of North Georgia, completely surrounded by National Forest and the radios reach around several miles in spite of the mountains, with good quality...

I use my MEP-003A for back-up only, thorough a manual 400-amp 4-pole transfer switch. It has no problem running my geothermal heat pump, ovens, well, etc. It has enough capacity that I don't have to be concerned about the load. It is noisy, but a lot of the noise is mechanical and not just...

What about using GMRS radios. There are a lot of channels, a reasonable range, and many probably already have them. If not, they are relatively cheap. As flat as it is, the range should be no problem.

An M105A2 traier is quite heavy, even empty. If you pull it with a military Genset mounted on it, you are talking about a lot of weight. Some of those trailers have two gensets mounted on them. I have pulled an empty M105A2 with a full-size Ford pickup and was very careful. I would not pull...

It could be the oil pump relief valve has failed. Again, you need to pull the pan. Very good that you happened to look at the gauge when you did.

Take them to a tire shop! It just cost me $25.00 about a week ago to have a new tube installed at a local truck tire shop. Best money I ever spent. Fifteen minutes tops.

I've decided to try to borrow a Milwaukee inspection camera and look around in the enclosure. I've given up with the small mirror. I'm really afraid that the missing nut is hiding in there since I did find the washer.

Ditto

I've not had this occur with my Deuce, but I have had it happen with other trucks. There is a lot of elasticity in the drive train. I've been told that it is quite easy to snap an axle or driveshaft on civilian trucks if you get it springing back and forth too much, but I've never heard of...

If I make a lengthy post or a complicated post, I always copy the text before submission. Occasionally, I have issues with the post going through and I have to login to SS again and often my text has disappeared. When this happens, it is very nice to hit Ctrl V and be right back where I left off.

Sounds kind of expensive to me!

Welcome to Steel Soldiers. A great bunch of guys and a lot of good information. In a previous life, I used to spend a lot of time in Evansville.

I agree. There are all kinds of things to short out. I'm still trying to look around in there with a small mirror. It is so crowded in there it's very difficult to see anything. With the cover on, there is no way for the nut to get out. I did find the washer and fortunately it was on the...

While painting the seat framework on my Deuce, I managed to lose the drivers seat adjustment lever, spring and pin. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement? This is the old design seat on a 1969 Kaiser Jeep. The attached photo showes where the adjuster is attached to the seat frame. I...

I made an interesting discovery today on my MEP-003A GenSet. I removed the lower cover where the power output cables are attached to the bottom of the output connectors. I had never had this cover off before. Three of the nuts, L2, L3 and L0,securing the cables to the connectors were loose...

Thanks, but I already ordered one from Delk's.

Thanks. I'll give them a call.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers. There are a great bunch of guys here and an unbelievably large amount of technical information and help available.

Nice looking truck! The grill paint for the wheels I assume?
