Engine, Transmission, Diferential Data Sheet(s)?

[oddshot]

Is there a data sheet somewhere that lists the various engine, trans and differential specs installed in the Deuce?

Such as Manufacturers, Engine Displacement/Horsepower/torque, or Trans/Differential gear ratios?

Or were they all pretty much the same across the various builders ... like a M1 Garand built by Springfield compared is pretty much the same as one built by Winchester?


I am a total nube to the Deuce (Other than having ridden in a bunch of them back in the early 70's) and trying to learn about them before I buy one.

I *think* I am most interested in an A2 (non-turbo) ... I see that a number of manufacturers built engines for these things. How many and who are they?

Is one engine manufacturer better than others?

How about final drive ratios? Did they install different gear sets for different purposes?

Hey there oddshot. What you are gonna want to do is download the tech manual for the M44A2 series trucks. You can do it right here for free. Just click on the resources tab above and go nuts. You want TM 9-2320-361-10. Go cover to cover on it and you will get the gist of it. Also, the Deuce forum here is the biggest wealth of knowledge ever. read read read

good luck

Go to the Resources at the top of the page and go to the Vehicle Specs page you will get a lot of the specifications.

As for manufacturers, all deuces from the mid 50s onward were made at the same factory with different owners and names.
