Working through all the issues.... My radiator is leaking, so I took it out and had a radiator shop check it out. They say it needs to be recored due to to corrosion. I trust them. To the tune of $800. I read another member had retrofitted a 'civilian' radiator to the tune of about $400...

I'd bleed'/flush the brakes, especially since it sat for a few years. Using your choice of brake fluid. What year is the truck? a spare tire, some spare wheel cylinders, check all the fluids top to bottom, a jack and lug wrench, extra water, plenty of wrenches and pics

well I'd buy it today, but you're all the way across the state from me.

Bumping this back up... Good vendor to get a new J pipe from these days?

Over the past few weeks: Upgraded tail lights (had the old style small ones) 1 new wheel cylinder Rebuilt master cylinder got 2 new blackout shades for the 109 box added the humvee 12v/24v power distribution box discovered the radiaotor is leaking....

This is the M109 you are working on? Have you posted pics of it before?

Thanks for posting that.

So I don't have that problem, but a leaking wheel cylinder became obvious yesterday. Looked through the TM and other threads on the subject of replacing the wheel cylinders, but oddly enough, there was not straight answer. (Surprise surprise) To be clear, I need: new wheel cylinder or rebuild...

Mine has had a decently hard life after the military, just due to neglect here and there. But is pretty solid. Now to find the time to work on it. when are these needed...

Good call. No OTHER issues, besides being loud, hot, and slow. But those I can deal with. I'm mainly concerned with keeping it all together on a 40-50 mile run. I'd like to take all the wheels off and do a good inspection, and get some grease in there, but I don't feel the need to dig way...

Pretty close to getting it back on the road. The brakes feel good, and I get no weird noises/vibrations/or smells when driving it on a quick 3 mile shakedown run. I do want to go through the brake shoes and wheel bearings as a baseline. Pretty straight-forward job? If noting is out of place...

Thanks. Will for sure be upgrading. Adding another thing to the list. Great.

Have not looked into adjustment. It's kinda on the back burner until some other things are taken care of. I need to find out where the adjustability is.

Thanks. I'll be upgrading.

Sorry for the double link. But yes, I have the old style lights. Now to investigate why the brake lights won't work

You may be correct. this looks like what I have https://www.realcustomtrucks.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=8378786 As opposed to this style: https://www.realcustomtrucks.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=8378786

Thanks. They just don't look like all the other "deuce' brake lights that I've seen on other trucks (and the type that are sold on Ebay) The ones on Ebay have a larger Red lens portion

In teh first and third pic, you can see the tail lights. These do not act as brake lights or turn signals. Am I missing something? The lights I have do illuminate for parking/running/blackout lights. All wires appear to be connected. Are there separate brake lights in this setup? Thanks

more pics...have a spare tire now and will be getting the missing two blackout window covers soon.

So I got one of the Pulsetech units (without the solar part) How do you hook it up to the stock 24V Deuce batteries? (Haven't opened the box yet, just gathering info)
