Good to hear you got your truck. Mine had the same camo paint. I fixed the rust spots and painted a darker camo custom pattern (if there is such a thing). It really freshens up the trucks. Your air line may be plugged on the wiper. I found the more I drive the deuce the better it runs.:)

Mine runs better when driven more often as well.... Probably are vehicles are like that. It is funny how much I have been driving mine. I would have bet a lot of money against me driving it so much. Just too much fun. I hope you all like your as much as I like mine. The only problem is that I now want a 5 ton! And a wrecker.... and a Gama Goat... and a HEMTT.... and.... and.... and....

I've been driving my deuce just about everday since the transmission in my F350 went out. I always look forward to jumping in and firing it up. Not always the most practicle vehicle for everday erands. One of these days I'll have to get the little truck fixed. Next on my wish list is an m37 and that tank in the classifieds.

did some work today!!! but first a story!

my dad and his first drive with the deuce almost made some moron a zombie today...he decided he pulled out coming towards us going up a hill and we were going down hill...lets just say the neighborhood almost needed new mailboxes....as the guy jerked to the side. my dad yelled "YOU DONT WANT TO GET HIT BY ME!!!!" hahahha was hilarious!

so dan and I changed the oil and replaced the oil filters :) then we tried to check the wheel cylinder but the little hub plate thing was frozen on it. the leak isnt bad at all more like a drip so we decided just to change the tire. after that took my dad and bro for a spin and they loved it :) going to show it of fnext weekend after replacing the brake switch :) and maybe new top :)

I seriously doubt that they would "tag" the engine for only a paint job. The fresh paint and brand new belts, coupled with the tag, suggest to me that your engine was given a depot-level overhaul in 2006. If so, the insides of the engine are pretty "new." :)
