    Napa muffler that will really quiet the truck down?

    i got a napa muffler on mine. makes it quite a bit (if not drastically) quieter. no hearing protection required. transmission/engine noise is still loud though. i would say all in all it cut the noise in half. i can hear a phone ring, but still cannot talk on it. carry on a conversation...

    deuce value without title?

    i look at them on ebay a lot. i can see from bids on them that trucks with titles seem to get bids quicker, and higher than trucks without. may not make them worth more or not, but it makes it easier on the person buying the truck (at least it would in FL anyway) so i figure it makes a good...

    oh yeah fortune son by CCR pretty much plays in it on repeat. haha. it does surprisingly well on the road. ive got a muffler, so that helps i actually have a box for them, and the box is attached to the overhead support bars by rubber pipe mounts. it is not actually in the soft top. thanks...

    not at all actually. its clear as a bell even running wide open. i can probably attribute most of that to the recently installed muffler. also my imagination isnt vivid enough to think between destinations! ;-)

    Well Ive read a lot of posts on here about installing radios in the deuce. This weekend I figured Id give it a shot. It also gave me a chance to install my spring ride seat. Got me a 24 to 12 converter, 2 6.5" speakers, 2 6x9" speakers, a sony head unit, 12v acc plug, dome light, and cup...

    Weak Link???

    check your torque rods before you go do much in it. make sure they are in good shape. i learned that the hard way. not fun.

    Civilian equivalent of mil. Lubes

    GL-5 with the MT-1 spec seems to be more available. you can get that at autozone.

    Leaking Again

    what did you use to glue the seal, and retainer in place? didnt see a separate thrust washer in mine. unless you mean the machined surface on the inner axle shaft that would ride against the retainer. my axles are not u-joint if that helps. thanks.

    Weak Link???

    maybe if the front axle has the ball and claw design (like mine) instead of the u-joints. from what ive gathered u-joint axles are about 15-20% stronger. although if youre not beating the crap out of it off road i guess this isnt an issue.
