The little mushrooms? They have a crimped-on cap that you can carefully un-crimp with a small screwdriver. Inside is a - booooiinnnggg, there it went, never to be seen again - small spring and a rubber disc. The stuff is clean-able; I would likely use something non-sticky rubber friendly. I just...

The rubber in the axle vents can become sticky as it ages and the vents won't vent so good anymore. You can use a 1/8 NPT hose barb instead and run a hose up to the frame with a cheapo in line fuel filter at the end to keep water out and let it vent freely. Just a thought. Pressure buildup in...

@banditt1979 :) I tried to "clean" the MULTIFUEL data plate on the engine. That worked really well, too! The black plate turned shiny silver with randomly stencilled numbers. Great.

It should be written on the sending unit. Not sure how clearly visible it is. I checked on the new ones and there seems to be merely a sticker on the side: https://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/oilprseun1201.html The NSN number is also different.

Oil pressure sending unit/gauge need to be a matched pair. There are two max values out there (60 psi and 120 psi if memory serves, but I might be wrong). Both items need to be the same. I would think from your description that the water temp gauge is bad if the sending unit reacts to temp...

Yes; so does mine.

The air pop off sound that you hear after shutdown (usually some 5-15 mins after) is the air pressure regulator valve ("the air governor"). Normal and one of my favourite sounds the truck makes.

I get it why the turret hole is annoying, with the need to make it weather tight. However, it is a feature that really sets your truck apart from any look-alikes. It is definitely cool! I would not weld it up or permanently close it. I'd probably go on the hunt for a cab stiffener plate and a...

Where I live, the MTO ("DMV") is run by private contractors on behalf of the provincial (state) government. It totally depends on how the local office is being run whether the transaction is unremarkable or hair-pullingly frustrating. Interesting to see that this appears to be the case in most...

Rebuilding a tranny is a great no-stress winter project ;-)

If you have worked on cars before, it is easy to underestimate exactly how heavy the Deuce is in comparison. Axle stands are great but even on asphalt I recommend to use 6x6 cribbing (6x6 lumber cut into 2 ft or suitable length pieces) to either underlay the axle stands or build a support to the...
