Thanks guys!

Thanks for the help Jimma. Doesnt the Air Compressor run independent? Just trying to make sure that I'm not creating another issue.. Thanks!

Started the truck today for the first time in a few months. The compressor is making a bit of a racket. Sounds like belt squeel, but put some dressing on and didnt do anything for it. Little strange to appear from no where. Saw a few posts on tightening it, but wanted to see what else there...

Thanks for the TM's! The part that I'm most confused by is how to remove the shaft housing over the starter gear. All of the TM's look to have 6 Hex/Allen head screws that mate the housing to the rest of the starter. All mine has is smooth casted metal over the entire part. Anyone else ever...

Well its a long story, but last week we went to hop in the truck (after it was just running) and start it up when the starter would just spin, and not engage. Today we tore off the solenoid, checked it out (copper washer specifically), re-installed, and then yanked the whole starter assembly...

So i'm in the boat other confused Deuce owners (newbies) but had some thoughts on what others are doing in the world of 4x4's, wondering about their application to these 6x6's. I was out and about in the Deuce when I did what every responsible owner does and felt my hubs. The right rear...

Anyone with a quad cab out there that has experimented with a soft top from a jeep or CJ? It's a ways down the road for me personally, but doing my homework now.

Thanks Maddawg! Let me know if you ever want to meet-up... I'm right here in FFX. Not sure if you've ventured this way with a rig, but its worth the reaction from everyone!

Here is some information on my own Behr experience.... At first we were going to attempt to tackle the task of paint with some Rapco 686 Substitute rattle cans. In the end, it didnt take too well to the CARC, so we abandoned that and went the Behr/Roller route. - Side note: Later found that...

Hey All, Took the big girl for her first ride down the interstate (slow lane, 45 all the way) and when I parked I figured it would be a good time to check the hubs to see how they felt. 5 cool ones, one very warm (not quite hot) one I found the TM on repacking bearings, but was curious...

I was cruising Amazon looking for some oil pumps for a filtration system I'm trying to piece together, when I came across this: Amazon.com: Spectre Performance 5971 Easy Access Oil Kit: Automotive Looks like its really a good way to get a start, for cheap! I just placed my order... will report...

UPDATE - Progress! Making good progress with the 12v goodies thanks to the 12v Alt set-up from George, and some basic input from members. Here is an update thus far: * Added Delco Alt, bracket, and wiring to old Optima Yellowtop * BlueSea fuse panel * Added switch panel with - Alternator...

First month into Deuce ownership and hopefully can contribute something useful! :idea: My oil pressure gauge was riding at 0 when I got it - knew it still had pressure since it made a 100 mile drive here with the previous owner. I traced everything from the sending unit and figured I'd start...

Thanks Wildchild - you dont happen to remember the size/types of parts utilized for this do you? I'm literally an "air head" when it comes to anything related to the components needed - first time messing with an air system. Thanks again!

Thanks guys - I'm pretty sure it is somewhere along the line connected to the front drive switch. Also pretty confident it is rubber hose in nature since its gotten progressively worse. When we first got it, you could only hear a slight hiss with the motor off - now you can hear it while the...

Thanks Ray! Dreading popping the dash to dig to it... the Oil pressure gauge replacement was bad enough....

Thanks Panshark! Totally new to the deuce - probably only like 150 miles (mostly northern virginia city driving). I've driven MT vehicles my whole life (everything from a F150 to a Corvette) and I know lugging isnt great - but whats optimal with these? I'm assuming as long as it doesnt feel...

Roger that. The previous owner replaced them last fall - I'll throw in some fresh ones for extra measure and see how it goes from there. Thanks guys!

I've seen lots of posts on how these things can be a dog, especially on hills, but mine seems to really lose power around 1800 rpms. "falling on its face" is a bit of an over exaggeration, but it just feels like the torque curve plummets. Is this a natural "power band" on a standard 1970 D...

Hi All, Just one month into Deuce ownership and ready for a repair. I have a pesky air leak behind the dash - enough to hear it hissing at idle. The issue is worse when it has full pressure in the tank - dissipates around 60 PSI - definitely enough for a repair. I haven't identified the...
