Looking for non-turbo, or formerly non-turbo deuces

[DDoyle]

I know that a lot of you guys have added turbos to former naturally aspirated Multifuel engines (LD-465).

If you have a deuce that came without a turbo - I'd like the following info.

Serial number, make and date of mfr of the naturally aspirated engine
Serial (ViN), model (M35A2, M292A2, etc), contract and registration (AKA "hood" or "USA" number) of the truck its in.

All info will be kept confidential - and if you are concerned about posting it, PM me or email me at ddoyle9570 at aol.com.

Thanks,
David

I recently worked on a truck for a buddy that still had the engine tag on the front right side saying that it was normally aspirated, although it had a turbo on it and the injector pump had a tag stating that it was updated for turbo use. I'll chase him down and get the info for you...
Conversion to whistler turbo was done while the truck was still in Army hands...

non-turbo deuce

David, I have a 71 AM General that was non-turbo when I got it. I'm at work; will get numbers for you over the weekend and send them to you. It was in Desert Storm by the way; was a rusted mess when I got it but was painted sand with the inverted V. Do you know if some of the trucks were shipped on top of ships and got alot of salt water? Mine was rusted at places I've never seen before. And all the bolts were a mess to get off. Rick

RE: non-turbo deuce

Rick, I've runa across a few trucks with peculiar rust. My pipeline came from Puerto Rico and had the worst frame rust I've ever seen. A buddy bought one that must have been parked on a beach with a westerly wind. One side of the truck looked perfect, the other side completely rusted out!

RE: non-turbo deuce

Yes, shipping vehicles and aircraft on ship is the only realistic way to move many 1000's of them. Being parked topside for the journey subects the vehicle to alort of salt air and salt water, and can really speed up the rusting process.. One of my buddies who deployed from Ft Hood to OIF said that NO ONE with any brains (maintaince type guys) wanted to be topside due to the corrosion problems. But some not so bright battalion commander who wanted his stuff to be first of the ship when they got to port gladly parked all this stuff on the top deck... That BN had twice the ammount of maintaince to perform to get their stuff combat ready before they traveled a mile out of the port. sending vehicles by sea really beats them up, all the rocking and constant motion doesnt do good thing. Add salt water/air to those on the top deck, and your really asking for trouble.

Rick and Cabel,
That info will be handy. As far as rust goes - I once saw some USMC five-tons that had been overseas-shipped topside and the hoods were rusted through - and I don't just mean in the usual places!

Salt water is tough on these vehicles....as I imagine those that bought the hurricane battered trucks sold not long ago are soon to learn.

Best,
David
