Garrett,Pansy! 780 miles for me one way to the rally, in my deuce!
I went away from using the stock jam nuts as they are a "metal interference fit" type and always get screwed up. I use "Nylocks" now. Also a little "Anti-Seize" helps a lot. On the Deuce which uses a "special" nut with interference threads on top, I grind off the top and then use a Nylock to hold it in place.Right now this is what I'm working on, rear output seal on the transfer case, another park brake drum, because mine has been warped since I got the truck. I'm tired of replacing mustache springs and inner shoes, and hearing the rattle. And of course, the stupid park brake cable broke off when I tried to back the nut off, so I had to steal one off of my yard truck. Really made me mad because I replaced it about a year and a half ago. I don't understand why the jam nuts always get locked onto the threaded shaft so tight that they won't come off. The tapered nut spun down the shaft away from it just fine.
That's what I ended up doing. Well that and a home made rig of rubber washers and fender washers since all of the hardware for the cable end was missing on my truck.I went away from using the stock jam nuts as they are a "metal interference fit" type and always get screwed up.

Garrett,You know I'm just ragging on you right? I just want to make that clear, because I know of it can be hard to tell sometimes when you are just reading something. I'm only here to make friends.
You do have a nice new truck, and maybe, just maybe someday you will find the extra room and cash, and decide you want another deuce... until then, if you need anything I can help you with, just ask. I'm pretty sharp on the 5 tons too. Sometimes I can get you parts too if you need them.
You got a great looking Deuce there, and I can't tell if ti's shadows or an inventive camo scheme on the cab.I just acquired one, if that counts. Needs alittle work, like they all do, but it runs great, and has alot of power.
Shadows. Tan truck with green soft top. Journey home took alittle longer than expected, had couple small issues so it was almost dark when the picture was takenYou got a great looking Deuce there, and I can't tell if ti's shadows or an inventive camo scheme on the cab.
I'm guessing shadows; am i right!?
Congratulations! That's a nice looking Deuce. Good luck and many safe miles with it. Do you could lend me about 50 horsepower?I just acquired one, if that counts. Needs alittle work, like they all do, but it runs great, and has alot of power.

I hate it when that happens !I did that. I even used a regular nut instead of a nylock. The acorn nut isn't what seized, the stupid stop nut I added did.
