The steering column looks like the Spicer part that Waterloo supplied with his power steering setup. In that case, the box is where the horn wire comes out. It should connect to the single wire running to the horn air solenoid. You can replace the horn button on the steering wheel with the new...

I...HATE...LEAVES...!!! On the grass I mulch them with the little tractor, but around the house I have to rake the b@stards. And usually the wind picks up when I rake. Go figure. At least I am down to filling some 20 lawn bags, from 70 or so at the last go around. Things are improving.

Congratulations, you found the pump for the flame heater. Unless you regularly start the truck well below freezing temperatures, you do not need it. Search for flame heater removal. Basically, plug its fuel lines at the injection pump and remove the whole kit. It is a good system when it...

Has been a while but I think I just angled it. In a w/w truck the rad has less room to tilt forward than in a wo/w. I don't remember details so it probably worked. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

You are not kidding when you say that axle took a beating. One assumes it happened during active service? I wonder why they didn't simply swap an axle in. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

It is this time of the year again....Queen Lola went into her winter hibernation quarters. Dry and semi-heated. We had a dump of snow last week, just so we would not forget what is about to come. Lola is a Southern Belle, has never really been in the winter and I am not going to get her all...

The McNally Trucking Road Atlas 2020 is purely analog and has all the info you are looking for. Especially for a one off trip, analog ain't that bad. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

The transmission OD kit is no longer available. You could go to a web site that calculates gear ratio and speed, including tire size, and see how much switching to taller tires would help your goals.

I had a similar experience. Installed brass hose barbs in place of the axle vents, ran a clear plastic hose up to the bed crossmember or firewall for front axle, terminated hose with a cheapo small engine fuel filter, and presto. No more stupid sticking axle vents....and better water proofing in...

I did another 70 mile round trip into the big City to pick up an aluminium car port at a warehouse. 12 ft long box, some 600 lbs. No problem...and the tail gate closed! At least this time it was not pouring rain, which made for a much more fun drive.

You did well! That canvas you made looks sharp! I admire people that can do that.

It prompted me to refresh my memory and indeed, there was a REB kit made by Memphis Equipment which removed the sprag overrun by using gear wheels with more teeth and adding the manual engagement: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/reb-kit.13496/

There actually was a kit available in years past for the manual engagement of the sprag case that, from what I hear, worked really well and was very popular. It was produced by one of the then leading MV refurbishers. Maybe what you have is one of these?

I am keeping my Deuce away from winter road salt, but that's just me. If I WERE to drive it in the winter, I would immediately start searching for a diesel fired coolant or air heater similar to what you see on semi trucks. Usually made by EBERSPAECHER or WEBASTO. I'd start at a place where...

The WIX 51458/NAPA 1458 do have the anti-drainback valve. When you initially changed the oil, then you also removed whatever oil was left in the filters. I am ASSUMING that the spin ons you removed were also anti-drainback type filters. If they were not, well..... Then you put new oil in...

Which spin on filters? If you have filters with an anti-drain-back valve (good!) installed, there will not be much difference in oil levels one minute after shutdown and hours after shutdown because the only oil that adds itself to the pan is what little comes down from the engine internals, not...

Just finished a 3 hour round trip in pouring rain into the City (where I do not like to go with the Deuce) to pick up a pallet from a warehouse. Freight forwarder sent me to the wrong address. Once at the right warehouse, they could not locate the pallet. Turns out, it hasn't been delivered...

@V8srfun There is this stubborn belief that grease "flows". That leads to people packing cavities with grease, thinking that a bearing or joint within that cavity will, over time, become lubricated by this "extra" grease. It won't. That is why you see hubs and axle housings full of grease...
