I used to think there was no such thing as too many deuces but now I'm starting to wonder...This past weekend my son and a couple buddies fired up all the running deuces and took this pic (with my Humvee and 5 ton as bookends). And these are just the running ones 😳. I think I've become a hoarder!

I have never had any problems posting to the classifieds until today, I type up my ad, added pics and when I submit new ad it goes to the screen where I can usually see my new ad but there is nothing there. It's not telling me I don't have privileges it's just blank. I checked my premium...

I have read a bunch of threads about the deuce brake system but my situation is rather odd. I have a deuce that had perfectly working brakes but the brake lights didn't work. I replaced the sensor that activates the brakes (it's the type that screws into the front of the air pack) and in doing...

I have some 395's that have runflats in them and was wondering if there is a market for them or should I just cut them to get them out? They need to come out because there is a lot of crud in the tire and it is too hard to clean with the runflat in it. Otherwise I am trying to come up with a...

Did I miss something? I could have sworn that a lot of GL sales were ending today and now it shows tomorrow?

Found another use for my M816. Too hot out today to do any work so I thought I'd let the kids have a little fun in the pond they swim in!

Is there much of a demand for Mack engines? I have done a lot of reading on the older 5 tons and from what I have learned they are a very desirable motor but there are not a lot out there. The reason I ask is I found an M54A1C that is in VERY rough condition outside from being used in the woods...

I frequently scan the classifieds for things I need (or want) but get really frustrated with so many things listed with no price. I can understand not putting a price on the front page if you are selling multiple items or parting out a vehicle and list the prices in the body of the ad but why...

I bought 2 small boxes of parts in Oklahoma City and need some help getting them shipped. I think they will fit in 2 large flat rate boxes (3 at the most) so if someone is familiar with those that would be great, or if you get a good rate at your work UPS is fine too. Here's what I was thinking...

I went out yesterday to try to solve the issue of zero air pressure in my wrecker and I may have found it. On top of the air pack there is a line that goes straight up into a 90 degree fitting and then points toward the passenger side, on that is a large (looks like 1/2") line that has a bend...

I found the oil flow chart in the TM but it still doesn't answer a question I have: When the oil flows through the oil filters does it go up through the center bolt then into the filters or is it the other way around?

I need to see if anyone can haul an M816 wrecker from just north of Madison, WI to Blaine, MN. It's 280 miles door to door. I was going to drive it but I can't do it until next week and some of the highs next week are only in the single digits for temperature. I'd like to check it out good...

Here are a few pics of my recent recovery, probably not the pics everyone was thinking they would see...sorry no M146 hooked on the back of a pickup.

I run single Michelin 14.5 R20's on my deuce and I really like them, however, I had a little issue with one. I used my deuce to take my kids to their baseball game (probably an 8 mile drive one way, mostly 40-50 MPH), everything was fine when I got home, the next day I found this! Just glad I...

Does anyone know where I can find the set of 5 steel balls for the old GMC style 2.5 ton axle shafts? I can get just regular chrome steel balls but the center one looks like it has a hole in it with a pin that keeps it centered. I would take new or used if anyone has any or knows where I can...

Has anyone sewed a soft top by themselves? I have a newer camo soft top that pulled apart from the plastic piece that slides above the windshields. I took it to a place that can stitch heavy material but they said their machine would probably crack the plastic. I almost think it is going to...

Does anyone know what the taper is on a stock lug nut for a deuce? And is it perfectly flat or does it have a bevel to it?

This is a first for me, I now have deuces sitting in 3 different states that I bought! Hasn't anyone found the cure for this disease yet? :razz:

I often times find myself searching for weights of specific parts for the deuce, some I can find some I can't. If anyone has actually weighed specific parts from a deuce (ie motor, tranny, t-case etc.) this could be a helpful thread. Here are a few things I have scaled: Front axle: 830 lbs...

I have a very small hole in one of my air tanks on my deuce. It is on the bottom of the tank and not at the weld, not sure how it got there but I need a quick/alternate fix for it for someone without a welder. Would JB weld hold it? Or I thought about screwing a self tapping screw in it but...
