    Civilian 24 volt alternator install

    I think that wire stays disconnected. Not necessary with a 1-wire alternator. Only necessary for the OEM generator. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Steering wheel space: poll

    Alright, let's hear it; how much space do you have between your stomach and the steering wheel of your deuce?

    12 pin NATO trailer plug adapters

    since the thread discusses harness adapters, this is what I came up with in a pinch. I was able to stop in at a Napa, and grab some monofilament 12v bulbs to swap out. I had remembered that the taillights on the truck were a bit weird in how they were grounded, so I had my father in law splice...

    12 pin NATO trailer plug adapters

    heh, actually it was a play off of Matthew 16, which is out of the ultimate how-to manual. sorry about the grammar, the only upper-level English class that I took when get my degree in ECONOMICS was medieval literature. it struck me a bit odd that your stats show you joining this fraternal forum...

    12 pin NATO trailer plug adapters

    After 3 years, Ryan Griffen speaks. For what doth it profit a man, if he make a 12 to 7 harness, if, after traveling to market, he returns with an empty purse? Ought he to have better made 6 spinner wheels of a cubit and a half high, after the fashion of olive drab? Then he could justly spin his...

    deuce won't idle cold on oil mix

    FM speaks the truth on this one. (And I think he's right on the spelling!) Swapping out the o-rings on the flame heater nozzle--or bypassing the manifold heater by capping off the nozzle--is necessary if you're going to be concocting your own fuels. Seems to me the Stubbs has warned about...

    deuce won't idle cold on oil mix

    I've had that problem before as well, I could barely pull 4th gear high after adding in some WMO. Luckily, I left enough room in the tank so that I could stop at a gas station, add some gasoline to thin out my fuel. Think about it, you've got a thick fluid, passing through 3 thick filters, with...

    My Fuel Issues

    Excuse me, but you said you bled the system...when you bled the final fuel filter, you had the in-tank pump running, and you were able to get fuel galore spurting out of the bleeder? The reason I ask is because you didn't say if you had pulled/inspected any of the filters...

    Need help! Running out of time on a M105 out of Hill AFB UT

    So I ended up pulling the trigger on a M105 trailer with bows and tarp out of Hill. I previewed it the day I dropped my Pa-in-law off at the University of Utah to take care of a happy, bouncing 10lb. bundle of cancer he had growing on his leg. Then Mr. Murphy got involved... My kid brother...

    $1.00 Dollar a gallon, Recycled ATF from the local 10 minute oil change

    I got 18 of those 55 gallon drums waiting for me to pick up on wednesday of the good stuff. Of course, with threads like these, you can't get to loud about where you're getting your fuel, or else somebody's going to try to wreck your gravy train. If anybody wants some good ideas on where to get...

    Suggested spare parts for M35A2

    How about a nice rail mount on your hood to mount your life-sized enduro motorcycle hood ornament? That's probably what you'll be using to navigate the few evacuation routes available to you after your deuce gets traffic-jammed. If I was involved in a dis-orderly evacuation, I wouldn't want to...

    Stake pockets

    It's funny you should mention that, Cleveland, because that's what the kid brother did--he got some metal strap and cut 18" long sections to shim up the free play. It kept it cobbed together, but didn't keep the studs from breaking right at the top of the stake pocket. Man, that's a lot of...

    Stake pockets

    Gosh, that wouldn't surprise me. I've heard that a lot of "stuff" they have out there, they used to just bury. Now, though, they have a decent facility call Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Plant, that allegedly compacts the waste and deposits it into concrete containers. I guess it's pretty...

    Stake pockets

    Let me put it to you this way--you can use any wood you want around here, as long as it's pine or quaky aspen. And having said that, I've been selling a chord of pine (split) for $175, all day long. I live in a pretty large valley, and you have to go waaay up into the hills (past the quaky) to...

    Stake pockets

    hmm...funny thing about that is, I think the kid brother drove them in there pretty tight, but he only went down 6 inches, so that when they broke (Fir studs) they just splintered due to the force. I think getting oak might be a tall task in my neck of the woods. I could be way off base, but I...

    Stake pockets

    Hello all, I've made some plywood sides for the truck that are 4 feet tall, using the plywood recycled from the kid brother's (failed) attempt to make sides. His attempt failed because the 2x4's that he used to anchor into the stake pockets all broke off at the top of the pocket. I'm using...

    Broke your motor from WMO?

    Thanks for your deep insight. Now, back to the topic at hand. What do you think, AKT, can waste motor oil break a deuce engine?

    Damage From Running Split Boot?

    Boots are $30 apiece, maybe a bit more. Several pounds of grease, a couple jugs of gear lube...unless you're investing in more tools, I think your estimate might be a bit high. I had to buy a 3/4" breaker bar, I think the going price for the 8-sided 3" socket is around $30, and I get a set of...
