Still nothing.

I agree. I’ve been talking to wheelspinner. I’m Just curious as to what makes these crack. I would like to believe that the cause was discovered and corrected long ago. We had a similar issue with M1A1 road wheel hub sight glasses. Put virtually every tank on the deadline report!

My fan blade has a crack in it. My gut tells me either the design was bad, the material was flawed, manufacturing process was flawed, or something struck it. I don’t see any witness marks elsewhere to suggest it was struck or impacted. Anyone have good intel on cracking fan blades?

If he’ll work for a good home cooked meal and some cool, refreshing drink, send him over. I have 3 to demount & 1 to remount on my spare rim.

It also just dawned on me - check your grounds. I’ve seen military vehicle lights do some ‘wild & crazy’ things because of poor grounding.

Do you have access to the parts manual? They often have nice exploded views.

I don’t have a TM or a schematic - but I vaguely remember that the turn signal switch has something to do with headlights. I’m either thinking of a much older vehicle or I’m hallucinating….

I think that’s what happened to most of the ones we had on active duty.

I only made you say that 3 times. I was gonna go for a 4th….. lol

Correct, the ductwork and diverter are under the dash. I have installed the entire unit under the dash as well as in between Jeep seats and Deuce & 5 ton bucket seats. We would pull out the bench seat and put buckets in from a GOER or heavy hauler.

Ah, thanks; now I know what he’s talking about.

Look on your frame. At the left front outer frame rail near the bumper gussets. Do you have a tag like this? Also, check along to top of the frame rail on the front right (passenger side) near theupper shock mount - possibly at the downward slope going to the rear - there maybe a serial #...

I may be having a severe brain 💨 but what’s a surge brake?

If those are standard Dzus springs you can buy them on line. I believe the rivets are 1/8” and it helps to have a 1/8 Rivet drill but not necessary.

Are they tearing at the folds / bellows? Tearing at the zipper? Do you have any pictures?

Like I said, that’s very odd. There must be a bad batch out there. The biggest issue I remember having was keeping the wire clamp in the groove. The 5 tons were better to work with.

That’s interesting. I spent 21 years in the Army a and only saw them torn due to contact with objects. Why are yours tearing?

Will you convert it to a dump trailer?

It’s been a long while since I worked on a gasser and roughly 40 years since I worked on a Deuce. The LDA465 M35’s had a water heater mounted under the dash. I’ve even mounted a 2nd one under the passengers seat and ducted it into the cab. The TM for your model should have maintenance (R&R)...

You’ll need to repost this 4 or 5 times leading up to the event.
