Propylene glycol is not only less toxic, it is actually added to many foods. It has similar anti-freeze characteristics to ethylene glycol. You simply need to add corrosion inhibitors. I work for a company that sells a lot of industrial equipment that needs cooling. We stopped using ethylene...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers. You have a very nice looking Landrover! How about some pictures of your MB project?

Ditto on the air in fuel line - -

Download the schematic. The wiring on a Deuce is relatively simple to troubleshoot. I had a similar problem and it was caused by lack of good ground.

I picked one up last year and drove it back almost 700 miles for 17 hours @ max 52 MPH. It started right up, had good brakes, no leaks, fluids full and looked like new fluids, lights all worked some new tires and all at correct pressure. The problems I had were: 1. Wipers did not work for...

I would try to find the correct part. If it is only bolted on one side, it sounds like it might be quite weak.

Just turned 60 this past December. Feel like 20 most days. Some days feel like 80.

The unit I was in while stationed in Germany during 70-71 had what appeared to be M49 ring mounts on the deuces and 5 tons that had rings. I don't know when they quit using the 'M49', but the Army definitely used them in the early 70s.

I don't think service time has any impact. The most important thing is the quality of what you submit. Scanning the ID and e-mailing the documents appears to significantly help. Also, subsequent EUCs after the first are normally fairly fast in my experience.

That looks like a very nice setup you've put together. It will be even nicer when you get the cover on. Do you think you'll lose much power with the exhaust extensions? Probably not since the length isn't that great. Really nice!

The VIN number should be 9 digits and should be stamped on the drivers side frame rail. It is usually covered by undercoating which will need to be scraped off. On mine I needed a magnifying glass to see the digits, but I've seen them stamped much deeper on other deuces. I'm assuming here...

Awesome deal!

Does the pedal go to the floor, or do you have a hard pedal that doesn't depress?

This won't work on CARC, but when I was in the Army in the early 70s, we used to mix a little diesel fuel with the OD semi-gloss and it would make the paint very shiny. This was more popular on MUTTs than on Deuces though.

If you stay in the motel at the park try to get a room with a view of the ship. It's a very good view from the motel, and you can walk from the motel to the partk. I routinely stay there while on business in Mobile.

Any shop that rebuilds truck transmissions should be able to handle it for you. It isn't that difficult.

You are better off with a thin-window G-M meter. This will pick up both beta and gamma, even at low energy levels. I would not recommend one of the CD units. Most take obsolete batteries, although some of the newer ones do accept modern batteries, and are difficult to get repaired. If you...

Why convert to 12 volt? Why not keep it 24 volt and original? I drove am M715 for a while in the army in 1970 in Germany. I could have used that heater! It was COLD in the winter.

M116A3 trailers tow great. I've pulled mine several hundred miles with no issues. I use magnetic lights and as mentioned previously, the magnets won't always hold them. When I use the magnetic lights I always take a bunch of 12" wire ties to hold the lights, light wiring harness, etc. I also...

Your Deuce undoubtedly came from the factory in OD semi-gloss. However, they look great in both OD and NATO camo.
