Welcome to the site!

If you have a hot-water heater installed, make sure that it is turned off since it is powered separately from the master. The wiring diagram for a Deuce is very simple and it is very easy to troubleshoot. What everyone else has said is true. You should not have problems leaving your Deuce for...

Nice score! When I picked up my MEP-003A at Ft Jackson, I checked the oil. It also had a good bit of fuel. I put new batteries in the unit and decided to simply hit the starter and make sure the engine would turn. over To my surprise, it turned over about one revolution and started right up...

I use the Amex card and since it requires to be paid in full each month, there is no limit, only GLs limit. I've bid on a lot of GL auctions and have never had a problem.

I just replaced mine two weeks ago. My speedometer was always jerking up and down, especially at low speeds. Physically, my old cable sheath looked good before removing it. Once I removed the old one, it was obvious that the cable should have been replaced years ago. The replacement was very...

The other question is whether it is available for purchase:?:

When in the Army, all our engines looked like that when they weren't washed if they had been driven in the dirt. There is always an oil film on an engine that dust adheres to.

Ditto!

I agree with everyone about the prolonged idling. Diesels will wet stack if they are not running hot enough and idling will cause this. Mine will actually throw gunk out of the stack when I rev it up if it has been idling a long time. As far as the oil level, if you check the level one minute...

Georgia passed the first title law in the early 60s and the first model years where titles were issued was 1963. Titles are optional in GA from 1963 - 1985 model years. 1986 and newer require titles in GA. The explanation can be seen at MVD | Is a Title Required for My Vehicle? .

It does not make any sense to require an actual title certificate to sell an MV due to differences in State laws, and laws outside of the U.S. As Clinto mentioned, Georgia does NOT issue titles on a vehicle older than 1963 unless it already has a title. Several other states have similar...

That sounds great! I have an MEP-003A and I wonder if they are the same? I'll try to find out.

What kind of brake problems are you having?

I looked at the wiring diagram and you are right. I just assumed that the heater was wired through the accessory switch. I have been lucky that the heater motor hasn't turned itself on before, because I haven't paid any attention what the heater switch position was. I'm going to take the...

I fired up the Deuce today for an exercise run of ~20 miles or so. I decided to check the oil after shutting down. I was outside the cab and reached inside and cut off the accessory switch and cut the fuel to stop the engine. I heard a very loud rumbling sound coming fromt he engine...

If you decide to pull the trailers with a civilian pickup, be careful. Make sure you use a full-size pickup only and don't put anything in the trailer. I pulled an M105A2 home with an F-150. No problems, but that is a lot of weight behind you, even empty, so go very slow and take a lot of...

You should always start off in 1st gear in a Deuce, although I know many that start off in second. The clutch should never be slipped. Aside from that, this would have nothing to do with you not being able to put the transmission in 2nd gear easily. It should go in second very easily. I...

First, welcome to Steel Soldiers. Some good guys and great advice on this site. The rules are different in different states, but in most states you do NOT need a CDL. Due to the low weight of the truck and lack of air brakes, most states allow you to drive a Deuce with a Class C license. I...

Why not send an e-mail to Deutz and ask them what oil is proper? Or telephone them?
