    OKC Memorial Day - Resthaven Memory Gardens

    I've been contacted by Resthaven Memory Gardens, in Moore OK, requesting that local MV owners (and their trucks) attend a ceremony to be held about 10:00 AM on Memorial Day at the cemetery. We have attended several internments for KIA soldiers at Resthaven and they have been very supportive and...

    Brake and Bumper Crash Test....

    First and foremost; everyone walked away! So last week I adjusted my front brakes, today I adjusted my rear brakes. It's amazing how much better the truck stops, I would venture to say it stops great! And I got to test the brakes this evening! As I was driving the bobbed Deuce home from...

    Paint By Numbers Camo

    I've got an A3 that the owner wants done in an arctic camo paint scheme; white, gray and black. With the camo layout pictures in TB 43-0209, I used my notebook computer and projector to display the image on the truck so I could trace the color outlines.... It worked great!

    "High Speed" oil leak

    I usually drive my truck around 2200 to 2300 RPM, it runs great and does not leak. If I push it to 2500 RPM it belches out a big puddle of oil from the engine rear main seal when I shut it down. I was discussing it with a diesel mechanic friend of mine who said the crankcase pressure was too...

    Fixing Multi-Fuel "Bugs"

    So I picked up a used engine for an old GSA Deuce with a tired motor that I'm bringing back to life. One of the Steel Soldiers members was kind enough to find one and deliver it to me. The motor was delivered strapped down on a trailer, sitting on some old tires. On the last turn into my...

    GL-1 Gear Oil Alternative

    I don't like GL-1 gear oil and wanted something "better" in my transfer case and transmission. GL-1 is hard to find, and finding one with a corrosion inhibitor is even harder! So I called my local HD truck driveline shop, Blumenthal's. They gave me the tech support phone number to Meritor...

    And Yet Another Way To Bob A Deuce!

    Howdy All, Ok, I admit it, I've got no new technical innovations! But; I'm just about done with my current Bobbed Deuce project and want to see what you guys think of it. In particular, what do you think could be done better and what have I overlooked. This truck is one that StreeBikeDepot...

    Steering Column/Firewall Seal

    I want to seal up the hole in the firewall that the steering column goes through.... The correct part number for "Pad, Steering Gear" is: 2530-00-924-1556 or 10896759. I can't seem to find one and have never seen one. It looks like, from remnants of material left on the firewall, that this...

    Sprag Clutch Rebuild / Repair

    It's been snowing like crazy here in central Oklahoma today, 14" so far (that's a whole lot for us), and I had to make a run to my warehouse to pick up one of my wife's Christmas presents (a new washing machine, and yes she loved it!). I was forced to back up the hill leading to me house...

    Dash Data Plate for Bobbed M35A2

    Howdy All, I ran across, here on the site, info about the XM381. If you don't know, that's the "bobbed" deuce that the military experimented with in the '50s but never produced. Using the XM381 info and my own truck, I made a bobbed deuce data plate. Since mine isn't experimental, I dropped...
