    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Hopefully, by next weekend I will have. My air lockers are taking extra time because the installer found a problem, contacted ARB and they are picking up the tab for warranty work. And it put the installer way behind - I think he spent an entire day on just one. Installer is just working on...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I think if it started its life as a deuce and you can still see it, it counts. Though I'm a little biased as time goes on and I mod mine more and more away from stock.

    Deuce PArking Brake

    A quick search shows prices from ~$45 to ~$85 if you need to replace it though.

    Good thing you're not in Australia, they'd be upside down!

    Adding Detroit Lockers???

    If you search hard enough, or make some calls, you can get the price down to around $950.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    pic? Is this a west coast mirror, a hmmwv mirror or something else? Is a hmmwv mirror too small for our trucks?

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    A separate system is more expensive, but it's also isolates the main system. In my case, I could see myself a couple hundred miles away from everyone, going to start my truck and it won't start because one of the dozen accessories was left on, or shorted, or something and drained the batteries...

    Hard top dents and warping

    Mine was caved in a little on the roof, as can be seen from the inside, maybe just gravity. As for the rest of the condition, the metal was starting to lift and flake a little. I gave it a way a few months ago.

    Portable or Bluetooth speakers in a deuce?

    At the moment my truck operates at 102 db inside the cab. I would love to be able to hear a lot less, and as it is I travel wearing hearing protection. I'm in the process of putting sound insulation (I have several projects going on at once with the truck). But once that's done, I seriously...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Drove the deuce for an hour today to drop off to (hopefully) get the air lockers installed. Felt really good on the drive. I had to go to another country to find a mechanic willing to undertake the task. I couldn't find someone in my state, and the guy I found in lower BC (Canada) comes...

    M35 locking hubs question

    Not too long ago I was turning around on a somewhat narrow, gravel driveway with a steep drop-off on both sides. No one else was around and I don't (yet) have a backup camera. After I got the truck turned around, I got out and noticed that my furthest rear axle had completely left the driveway...

    Won my first award

    Grats! I go to 2-3 shows a year. I'm sure I'd win if kids got a vote!

    License Plates for a 2 1/2 ton ?

    WA is similar, but the wording includes: "special occasions". Well, for me, going to the dump is always a special moving experience. I have driven my deuce over 3k highway miles in WA & OR and never gotten pulled over. I do have a cover on the back which I think helps as I'm usually carrying...

    Loud noise!

    I couldn't drive w/o the horn and of course, my middle finger.

    Bought a deuce - the journey begins

    Mine always drops a little oil when it's warmed up, but when everything cools down it stops.

    M35A3 wheel question ?

    You can probably find a pic if you search google, of someone that's done this. I flipped my 15.5's (rears), I think it helps stability a little, also the rears are in-line with the front after they're flipped. Before and after: First pic was when I was first putting them on. It should be...

    Is there a reason why you don't have 2 deuces?

    M35A3 Tire pressure Opions

    I'm not sure if I'm reading this correctly. I read an article that purported the idea that many long haul companies inflate their tires too high, but not past the recommended max and this can lead to premature tire wear.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    New shocks. I used Monroe 66605, which I read about on a thread here. I've owned the truck for 3 years now and have no idea how old the old shocks were. They seemed in ok shape when I pulled them off, but they were smaller than the ones i replaced them with. Also, it's a pretty cheap repair...

    Bumper-pull camper behind a deuce?

    If you have a standard square hitch, there are variable height receivers. Make some measurements and make sure you find one that has a good range.
