They could have been playing in the surf with the truck. When I was in the Marines that was a favorite past time.

Well considering no one at this time is making any new ones I guess whatever you have on hand is good . The newer style is better of course and if you can still find some then I would buy them.

Your right, my bad ! I just got back from Hawaii when I posted that so my mind was still adrift ! I need to medicate myself when flying as I get really sick due to inner ear damage. I wonder if that turbo supply hose is internally damaged causing a restriction ? I know it comes off the main...

I was in the Marines at this time and all our trucks got painted freehand. We used the patterns as a guide. One guy would trace out to the best of his ability the lines and then the rest would paint their color in the proper space. We used regular paint brushes so there was a lot of "going over"...

Chris we all know you like to live on the edge ! (especially with your truck :wink: ) . The rest of us though like to be more prudent ! At least I do. I used to run a home foundry and automotive pistons where the best way to get my aluminum from. They will start to melt at sustained...

I already posted the service manual for the long air-pacs. It's in the TM section.

Chris remember what temperature aluminum starts to melt at ! Hint it's 1200 F.

Shawn you realize the military went to the two hole injectors for better performance. The two hole injectors have a small hole and large hole. The large hole provides a "stream" of fuel to fill the piston bowl (for slow and steady combustion) while the second smaller hole provides a "mist" of...

The front and rear bearings should have a large snap ring on them which prevents them from sliding into or out of the case. The front and rear seal housings then actually squish this ring against the case which holds them in place. As long as there is no lateral movement of the bearing then the...

Just remember that seals always face the side of pressure. Since that is a air seal which acts against the spring pressure the seal lips will face away from the spring.

No one has been able to find a shop manual for the short style air-pac. There are plenty of threads on rebuilding them though.

That is not the "MAN" trademark.

That's bearings alright !

Check the turbo supply hose for damage or a restriction internally.

Just make sure you get a "ceramic" clutch plate and not the fiber one. There are still people trying to sell there "NOS" fiber plates.

My truck came with dual tanks and both where rotted out. I installed "poly" tanks with new pick-ups and screens and have had no problems since. I don't know what it is about this tank design but it seems to "encourage" rot ! So anyone adding a new tank I say go with a "poly" tank.

I understand where your coming from Garrett. I too like the original deuce, but I also like the look of a well executed Bobber ! I love my M1035 which is really just a 1 ton Chevy dually, so a bobber is just a Chevy dually on steroids ! I remember when IHC came out with that 2 ton 4X4. I so...

The reason the military went with the new style was because the old style had a high failure rate.

Just for clarification, is the deuce blower motor the "same" blower motor (NSN #) as in the M939 ?

I agree with you Garrett. Having worked on many injection pumps I have never come across a part that "needed" filing. I've come across parts that needed "replacing" but never filing. Considering that most injection parts will not fit if you just hold them in your hand (the heat) then filing them...
