    starting my deuce

    I'm guessing weak batteries, dirty batt terminals, or a loose connection. Do you ALWAYS check for hydraulic-lock prior to trying to start it? Check your Batts, check that they are fully charged, clean the terminals if dirty, check that other connections are good & not loose. THEN if the...

    limited slip on M35A2?

    In the market, M35A2

    IF you fix it yourself & shop around for good prices on parts they aren't too much of a "money pit". BUT IF you pay someone else to fix it "WHOA NELLIE" you can spend big $$ FAST! That's why I suggested joining SAE. Even if you are mechanically inclined & can tackle most automotive repairs...

    In the market, M35A2

    On one hand I applaud your desire to get a Deuce... But on the other hand I have to say that MAYBE now is not the best time in your life to acquire a potential "Money Pit". College, and all of the costs & time commitments involved, should be your 1st priority. THAT SAID, perhaps you can...

    Where to go for winch repair parts?

    Good Point! Kinda like the function of the shear pin on the winch driveshaft. I have a custom-built Jeep Rock-Crawler with 1-ton Chevy axles & a Chevy IROC-Z powerplant. I opted to use U-jpints instead of the stronger CV-joints so that these would be the weak link in the driveline. My...

    what battery level to crank?

    You'll probably want to take a couple of spare batteries with you to either BOOST or replace the existing batts. Full size Car/Truck batteries (like the ones you can get at Walmart) with a full charge will work. IF you decide to boost it with these spare batts you'll want 2 sets of jumper...

    Proper Display of the US Flag on my Deuce for Parades?

    There is probably a "Proper" way to display the flag on a Deuce, but I say display it where you want. Display it where it shows well, & where it doesn't block your field of vision. & Display It PROUDLY!! One consideration might be to shelter ir from exhaust soot.... No one wants to see a...

    Is there a certain year to look for when buying?

    Also check on your insurance rates before selecting a year. IF you register it as a vintage vehicle it typically needs to be a certain year or older. Vintage tags have some use restrictions, and some storage requirements, BUT you can save some serious $$ on insurance!

    Ok, I'm confused....

    AND be sure that your axle vents are not plugged! A plugged vent will cause pressure to build up in your axles & this will force axle oil out through the seals. You can clean the vents by removing them & then spraying some brake cleaner thru them. Test by blowing thru from the threaded side...
