It was super easy to remove with a 3-16" punch. Just gently hammer (almost oxymoron there) the spring pin over to the side and remove the pop-up clamp for easier work.

I got sick of playing this game (scam) where I live. First you fight the places that don't even know the laws, and second you fight county "laws" that could damage my truck (anti-idling laws - sorry, but I just got off the interstate, it's even on the dash, idle for 5 minutes...), opacity...

I like the writing in the images where it says "Continental Motors Corp" Also I agree with the t-shirt idea over the sweater/hoodie.

One of my pop-up clamps that holds the air cleaner housing is broken in the center of the loop. Do you think it would hold if the surface rust was cleaned up and then welded? I haven't seen individual clamps for sale and there isn't any need to replace the whole upper mount housing.

There's air in the line but pressure is pressure, right? I just used a cheap mechanical instrument cluster replacement with a hard line. Around 60 PSI a few seconds after a cold start up. I'm thinking bad sending unit. Though I haven't done the ohm test on the sending unit that shenkmen...

Well that sending unit just twisted right off by hand. I wasn't expecting in it to be that easy. :D Appears the sending unit was correctly matched with my 120 PSI gauge. It has 120lbs stamped right in it.

***May 19, 2014 - Update - Bumping my old thread*** So I never got around to checking my oil pressure with a mechanical gauge. And then on a trip home I looked down and the oil pressure gauge showed zero. I had to drive it for a about a half mile before it was safe to pull over. No...

I was wondering the same thing. After some digging I found it in the Multifuel trouble shooting TM http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?116454-LDS465-1-Multifuel-Engine-Troubleshooting-Manual

I saw another fellow on here who had painted all the metal (uprights, legs etc) black. I liked the look do I decided to paint my bolts black. It's just rattle can but looks good. On the down. side I didn't realize that the tolerances were so tight on the fat bolt attaching the legs to the...

I finally wised up about where to put the plasti dip on the two non-load bearing posts for the headache rack. I thought to myself: "Self, well the top of them should be level, regardless of the length." 22 1/8" down from the top. Bingo. That's again 2" strips

Just in Ace Hardware, looks like I could have avoided the black Plasti Dip and had a much more closely matched color! Oh well, what's done is done and it won't be seen anyway.

Thanks, both of you. Yes, I was wondering if there was an official part, but that explanation makes perfect sense. But there's an idea, forget fabricating up a part, just start putting together your own little army. First opening: "Permanent deuce gunner." Some folks likely started with...

When water is allowed to pool on the turret cover on my deuce, it will easily leak through, and I can tell much of the rust inside the cab is from many years of such leakage and resulting humid interior conditions afterward. Is a bar like this to prop up the cover just something I need to...

I decided to go ahead an invest the time in putting the plasti-dip spray on all the up rights. For the troop seats I covered 2" from the bottom and 1" below the center "collar" - or whatever that bracket welded to the center is called - most importantly including the underneath side because...

Because we all could use a little "help". Some more than others. ;)

Hey hey there from Northern Utah. What kind of "SteelSoldier" are you pack'n? (Truck, trailer, auxiliary equipment, or etc)

And thanks everyone for your compliments!

Fed 34094 Green So far that original 5 lb bag has powder coated all 10 bow corners, all the troop seat hardware, a license plate mount, and a few other misc brackets and parts and I still have that much left. A crooked place in Ogden, UT tried to tell me to powder coat the troop seat hardware...

Thank you very much. I most certainly will. At the moment I'm experimenting on with some spray on plasti dip to help protect the nicely powder coated uprights once in the deuce bed slots. Only testing on one upright at the moment. (It shouldn't be visible if I don't like it.) Maybe the...

Finally the day came to actually paint this big wood working project. As a one man show with a single 3" roller it took me about 1 hour to do a surface or edge. Worked out perfect for the paint drying time. Two surface coats, one on the edge, flip the wood over and repeat. Took me about 5 and...
