Im 11 years late, but thanks for putting this together! I especially like that you put the TM# with each one, well done!

Thanks Blake, I’ll check it out!

Looking for M151 or M422. Thanks

M35A3 MASTER CYLINDER REPLACEMENT Here are some options for master cylinder replacements on the A3 dual circuit deuces that are still available as of 2024. These will be high quality and have the correct casting, 50/50 split, and guts, but will come with a plastic reservoir that you need to...

Hi, yeah ill get some measurements for you but know that they probably wouldnt be the same for you and i would likely do it different. First you need the airconditioner and they are almost always a little different size from each other. Also my first cover was just going to be hinged…. Then i...

Hi Tom, congrats making it through the whole thread! Id consider the build complete, but of course there is no shortage of maintenance that needs to be done regularly as well as repairing things that break. There likely will be some improvements/changes in the future but i suspect most of the...

I also have state farm. The agent came out and took pictures. Cost are reasonable also, i did have to get a local military truck dealer to write me an appraisal value for it so i could insure it for the higher amount that i wanted.

Originally i had thought of trying to print some of the brake brackets but then we ended up changing our metal printer to a higher resolution system that had a smaller build area. It would definitely be a pricey print if you had to purchase it. I think the most affordable way to make one of...

I had a Anycubic brand DLP resin printer for a while and it printed fast and had nice resolution but the resin smell gave me bad headaches, plus having to clean the parts with an alcohol wash system followed by having to UV cure them, just got old. I recently spent the money and got a Prusa...

The “valve” that is shown between the MC and the Airpacs on the dual circuit trucks is actually just a shuttle style electric switch. Its called a differential valve switch. If the front or rear brake circuit fails and leaks then the pressure of that side drops off and the shuttle in the valve...

Hi Ahab- I actually just finished listening to all 25 hours of Moby Dick this last week! Regarding the Herculiner, I usually just prep stuff by scraping anything loose off, then sand/rough it up a bit then wipe it down with Xylene or some other cleaner first. Ive only rolled it and had good...

-Noticed I'm starting to get some weather related cracks on the tires so decided I should have gotten tire covers a while back, but better late than never. I got the biggest ones I could find on amazon which still arent big enough but I just glued a portion of tarp to the bottom to help cover...

-The trailer CBC (cargo box cover) got a little TLC, including a coat of Herculiner on the roof and lower edges. I also put an extended drip edge over the back of the trailer roof since rain was leaking in through the top door seam, then painted the whole trailer. -Installed a Donaldson Snorkel...

-Radiator started leaking before another camping trip. Was able to make it there and back with just a partial refill. I ended up having the existing Radiator rebuilt (which cost $400!) but it was the best option I could find at the time. I did buy a couple untested takeout radiators to keep on...

Its been a while since I updated this apparently. Most of the work has been done so the last couple years have mostly been fixing issues that come up. The next couple posts will just show some of the work/repair that I've done. -Mice got into the campers potable/clean water tank fill area and...

I tried doing what you mentioned by swapping a plastic reservoir onto one of the raybestos m/c years ago and feel like it didnt work, but cant remember the specifics. I dont think the parts were interchangeable.

The rebuild kits are pretty hard to find these days as i suspect they quit making them, but in all honesty they really werent much just a couple orings and a c-clip. Id just buy a new master cylinder. A nearly exact replacement for the 1988 airforce deuce is the Dorman M39477. It will be the...

No need to flip hubs but things line up better if you do….. and of course its a good excuse to go through the hub/brake maintenance process.

Welcome back Rustystud! Looking forward to your advice again and some updates on your truck projects.

Not sure, but I would guess it is in the $2-4k range for all the hydromax parts. Also needed would be a hydraulic pump off of the old 5ton lds engines.
