The deuce was designed to leak oil out of every seal and gasket. The leaking oil helps lubricate the chassis and eliminate rust.

You know. I would be happy to drive that command vehicle up to Ohio myself. I would only charge them 8,000$. A bargain! Of course, they would probably cite me for being overweight right out of the parking lot. Can't they just remove 2500# of crap they don't need from it?

Oh Californistan your incompetent government strikes again. I'm sure that 500,000 dollar police command vehicle will come in handy when the people riot from you spending all their money on that 500,000 dollar police command vehicle. If only you could drive it!

I can take my vent line and cap off from inside the cab to check, I think all it requires is a 7/16s or 11mm wrench. I don't want to be 'that person' but really you should have learned how to check the brake fluid first thing. These trucks have a scary single circuit braking system and problem...

That camper is kinda cool. It'da be neat OD Green and leveled with the M35.

You're a real classy individual. I am in awe to be in your presence.

I don't like the A3. Sorry. Read the thread before posting. Thanks. This the deuce modification section, not the deuce leave it like it is section.

Adding another axle wont change your gross vehicle weight, they'll usually only accept what the data plate says, which is less than 26k. You could probably get it recertified by going to a weigh station, getting a slip, and adding 5000 or 10000 pounds depending on whether you wanted it...

Wehring lives about 3 miles from me, he taught me how to drive a deuce, and just about everything else you can teach in a 2 hour period about them. I thought he said he makes his own wheels for his bobber beasts, I wouldn't think it would be that hard for a NASA engineer who happens to have...

I think you might have posted in the wrong place. I mean this is a place to discuss mods, we're dicussing the mod. Nobody is attacking you, no need to get defensive. If you didn't want people to discuss attributes of the mod like the price and the profit involved in selling a piece of round...

Has anyone tried CNC Machine Shop | Custom Waterjet, Plasma, Laser Cutting | eMachineShop.com ? Their prices seem reasonable and they have a vast amount of materials and processes. I found them while using stumbleupon one night.

Uh, the FMTV was being built in Sealy, TX by Americans who were probably very proud to be making military vehicles for American soldiers. Yes, it's unfortunate that Tactical Vehicle Systems got bought by BAE. But does that REALLY make those American workers less American because they got...

I'm very happy to have gotten some good responses, even if it did take till the second page, what is up with the DEUCE "MODIFICATION" AND "HOT-RODDING" section, it's crazy guys, even thread theirs like a struggle between the modders and the historians (they have their own section). It's more...

Okay, I've had to write this over 3 different times. Please nobody be offended by the post, but I feel like the majority of the people who have posted have kind of missed the point and the opening post. I'm going to reply to the post from most recent to oldest. This is the Deuce Modification...

My deuce already does 60 (gps calculated), with bigger tires and an taller OD gear, I don't need more than that, I just need it to not be at 2500 rpms

Has anyone here actually taken the more modern diesel and/or auto tranny from a school bus and integrated it into a deuce? As much as I love my deuce I'm always trying to find ways to make driving it less miserable. I would think that the brake system, the auto tranny, the engine, the...

This is just my opinion but, it seems like it would be a bit silly to start with a deuce for a hemmt conversion, sure you get a cheap entry price, but starting with a 5 ton gets you 10 bolt hubs, auto tranny, larger wheel clearances, allegedly better braking setup. It's almost as if it was...

Wow, we have some sort underground trailer transport group here. The members of steel soldiers are simply great, willing to go above and beyond.

I'm a south texas 20-something who happens to like computers, mechancal engineering, videogames, art, fine foods, electronics and military vehicles. If that makes me a redneck, well then, I'm a redneck with the sweetest post-apocalyptic ready vehicle on the block. The only thing cooler would...

I need a price quote for someone to pickup and deliver a M-105A2 trailer from N Little Rock AFB, AR to Lake Jackson, TX for me before the Thursday after this one. (Sep 10th?) My EUC cleared at kind of a bad time and I can't really get off to go pick it up like I wanted this late in the summer...
