I jsut put a new radiator on, I've checked the thermostst, and flushed the whole cooling system, and my truck still runs at just a hair under 200 degrees. Is this really abnormal? If so, what should I check next?
I'm looking for a used or even a rebuildable radiator for my duece. My fan ate mine and it was going to be $700 to re-core it. I would gladly pay for one that has a small fixable leak. Please let me know if you have anything. I could also use a fan blade. Mine could be bent back into shape, but...
could someone let me know if a 5ton radiator would work in a duece without modification? I can't find one for a duece but there is a 5ton availible to me for $50.
I've been having overheating problems with my duece, so I flushed the system and it seemed to be working, but I had too many things going at once. I forgot to hook the bracket that holds the radiator in place and my fan hit it. So here I am feeling very stupid and needing a radiator and possible...
My truck is running over 200 degrees. I'm pretty sure the temp sending unit is fine because I'm seeing signes of water spraying out from the radiator cap. Any advice on what I should do? I want to check thethermostat but am not sure were it is. I really don't want to kill my truck and at this...
I recently bought two ldt -465 engines out of great lakes IL from GL. I finally was able to go get them last weekend. I bought them because my truck doesn't have a turbo, and I want to convert. I opened the boxes to inspect them and noticed they were very different. One is huge, probably twice...
Hello, I'm looking for some winch parts. Basically all I have is the winch and shaft. I want to find a PTO with two shafts, but they seem to be really expensive. Someone has offered me one for the drivers side, so If someone else has the other, that would be cool, but I imagine they will...
I bought two engines thinking they where for a duece, and Iwas looking at the pictures and noticed writing on one container that looks to say 5ton. can you tell buy looking. I'll add pictures and try a link.

Feeling stupid for this one. What should my truck run for a temperature? I took it for a spin today, looked down, and the temp gage was at or over 240. The fluid level is fine. Any Ideas????
Just got a winch and am trying to figure out what else I need and what I need to do to put it together. woundering if anyone has this manual(TM 9-3830-206-34p). thanks, jake
So...A guy just gave me a winch off a duece for free! I think it's the happiest day of my life(I guess second to the day I drove my truck home). Anyways, aparrently, there is a brass ring inside it that needs replacing. I have no idea what I'm doing or what else I need. It has a short shaft on...
I found this picture in a post by rizzo of a mud bog somewhere. It looks like this guy has regular 6 lug duece rims with bigger military tires on them.Is there something I'm missing, or is it possible to do that safely?
I've seen quite a few posts saying usa 6x6 sells nothing but junk and it seems that in every one of those posts, there has been atleast one person defending the guy, saying his stuff is great. I'm about to send him a bunch of money for rims and tires. I'm starting to get a little scared. Anyone...
Does anyone know how bad it would be, or if it's even possible to put a cummins NHC-250 DIESEL ENGINE into a duece? would the tranny or motor mounts work? just curious cause I'm affraid my engine is pooping. Any idea if there would be an advantage? I think my engines listed a 120-130 or...
I just took my truck out yesterday for its first major drive since I brought it home. When I initially drove it the 300 miles from where I bought it, I had the top on and it was kinda dark, so I didn't notice how much smoke it blew. Yesteday I took off the top and drove it all over the place...
I finally got my truck on the road(legally anyways), stopped to fill'er up (got scared by the deisel prices and quit at 14 gallons for $40) and noticed the rear strap for my tank had rusted and brok at the bottom. It is the small strap that goes across the front, but I'm having no luck finding...
Hello everyone,
I was doing my rounds on Ebay and I noticed this deuce with military radials. I was guessing they are 1200 20s, but am not sure. If anyone has an educated guess for me, I would appreciate it. I think that is the perfect compromise to an expensive singles conversion. I think it...
has anyone everdone this? There are all sorts of 5t axles on GL selling cheaper than that silly wheel adapter from usa 6x6 or whomever it was that was selling them. You can get 3 5ton axles for $600, or pay $2000 for 4 6 lug to 8(or is it 10) lug wheel adapter. How hard could it be to swap them...
anyone see this deuce with what looks to be some kind of singles setup on it? looks to be going cheap.
