I have received the parts, built and installed the unit and can report that the box I mention above mounts perfectly to the original bolt holes (using the original bolts, after drilling out the mounting tab holes a little). This is one of the best safety and peace of mind modifications to the...

Depends upon which flasher unit you have. If it is a relatively new one, they have an internal resistor and work fine with LED bulbs. The older ones not so much. On the other hand, the newer flasher units are garbage and don't last. If you want to go all LED, the easiest way is to spend a...

I am with gimpy. There was experience with the WWII and M135 series, but the M44 are different in many ways. Why? Why the switch back to a standard transmission? Why a 12ft bed? Then the whole engine story... anything that sheds light on how this was decided!

I finally made it to a local scrap yard that spans acres. It has a lot of fire trucks, OTR trucks and all sorts of equipment. I found an air ride seat out of a late 80' International cab. Price was right, $50. I wanted to make this work with the high-back HMMWV seat that I already had. Humvee...

Good points...if the injection lines vibrate due to missing anti-vibration clips, they can fracture and leak. There should be at least 2 clips spanning all lines in two locations. If you are missing some, consider using automotive cable clamps with rubber insert. You can use two and fasten them...

Are your batteries tied down properly? I use marine battery terminal clamps. They seem to hold, once tightened. Also, are your terminal clamps mounted right side up (they are conical/tapered to adapt to the battery post)?

I have a cousin named Vinny...lawyer in Brooklyn...he might be able to help.:whistle:

OrderedMS3102E16-10P connector and 1590CFLBK aluminum box from Mouser Electronics. Thanks so much for making this write-up!

Moderators, can you please move the post?

Hm. The tranny should run just fine, even for 20 hours. What kind of problems? Leaking? Difficult shifting? 30W should be fine. It is, however, thin and when I overfill even a tad, my tranny pukes it out over the next month, making a mess.

I hit the mother of all potholes today on a farm road. It looked harmless, but..oh boy. Anyhow, my height-adjustable HMMWV seat slammed all the way to the bottom and stayed there. It now no longer locks at height. It adjusts height by means of two toothed half circles on either side that are...

Well, you could turn DOWN the fuel two flats to be safe(r). Also, be conscious of situations where the EGT will go up - low rpm/high load/full boost type of conditions. Don't lug the engine, downshift, dont floor the pedal on long inclines. Keep rpm up over 16-1700 and take it easy.

Unless you happen to own a Korean 170mm howitzer, you probably try to start an M-1078? The best forum for that is the FMTV forum.

When I got my Deuce roadworthy I had to go to a big rig shop to get it safety inspected. The mechanic looked at the drum brakes from the outside...from the back side...and then said "I wouldn't even know how to check brake linings on these." I know...you actually need to remove one bolt and one...

1) use the torque that you already mentioned: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?152518-Rod-bolt-torque That is the torque I used when I put the upgraded bolts in and they are still in there! 2) the torque for the injector hold-downs is indeed wrong in the TM. Known error.

Hm. Maybe you need to mount a winch and get "w/w" data plates? :whistle:

I know exactly how these two warm hubs bug you! I had the same happen on the same two hubs (right side, both rears). They were not "hot" to the touch, maybe "very warm" and definitely warmer than the other four. My definition of "not hot" is that I can place my hand there and leave it there. I...

Took her for a spin. 5 min into the drive, thunder and lightning started. I picked some gravel back roads so I could go slow. That means I won't get water sprayed from the windshield frame gap (see, that's a true Deuce master thinking, right there!). Saw a guy walking in the middle of nowhere in...
