Lookin good! Always nice to see a truly enthusiastic new MV owner.

Seen a couple of 'Burbuns done in Desert Tan Carc that looked pretty good. That and a set of Hummer beadlocks along with a brushguard from a CUCV and some blackout lights should round it out nicely.

Thanks Moose! Thanks too Will! That's a handy site! Here is what I ended up doing this morning. Now with the duct through the firewall (using 2.5") I have a diverter from a Chevy pickup I'll adapt and then have floor or defrost:

Hopefully someone with a 151 can help me. I have an M151 heater (just the blower and box) that I am working into my M715. It has a 3" outlet duct off the blower fan. What I'd like to see is how the stock duct comes off the blower. A pic would be very helpful. I'd also like to know if...

The really sad part is that the US Government won't trust us with a HMMWV, but will sell the Iraqis a few. Shows where our government's loyalties lie.

Until you crash it and have a claim.......

Several things to keep in mind: Your age. It will have a major effect on the price of insurance. At 40 and with a perfect driving record, insuring this as a regular use truck it runs me around $250 a year. No limit on mileage, and liability only. Full coverage is so far off the scale it isn't...

If you haven't been into the brakes it is possible that a wheel cylinder or obstructed brake hose or line could have kept a front brake partially applied then finally released after a drive. I've seen that happen a few times on vehicles that have been parked a long time.

It saddens me everytime I hear one of these stories. Near me, there is a guy with a field full of stuff, that will rot into the earth before he will ever part with any of it. He refuses to put a price (even a high one) on anything he has, and won't even cover any of it up. In his "collection"...

Could this possibly be the "mutilate before sale" route things are going?

I like Gimpy's idea. Simple, no real risk and probably just more exhaust smoke. If the exhaust side of the turbo grenades, then the pieces will just exit the stack. Still got lube to the bearings, and no chance of the engine ingesting anything.

One issue that was sort of brought up in a couple of the posts was about the high-detergent factor of new ATF. When a very high mileage, and probably near-death transmission has never been serviced, a lot of old clutch friction material and thrust bearing material is suspended in the fluid...

My main concern would be that the compressor side of the turbo wasn't hashed. Think engine ingesting broken turbo vanes........ Like mentioned above it will run, just limited power of course.

Funny, but I kinda thought the same thing.....:)

All of the hoses were common sizes available as straight hose at NAPA, except for the lower radiator hose which is a formed hose. I was still able to find a hose that was close enough and cut a section out of it. The large hoses are 2" and the manifold hoses were 1-3/4". The heater hoses (if you...

I wouldn't say you couldn't, I'd say you shouldn't......... The guy who delivered my Deuce brought it on a 14,000lb trailer and with a Dodge 2500 pickup. When it arrived, I could smell brakes pretty strongly on both the truck and trailer (we live in a relatively flat area, for the record) and...

I'd have a look at a couple things: First, pull the heater blower motor and make sure it spins freely. With a melted fuse you likely don't have a dead short. A dead short will blow a fuse immediately and not melt the fuse holder. Second, be sure the heater box isn't full of leaves, or junk...

Like mentioned above, most I've had any experience with have been really slooooooow. They are geared very low. I've only dealt with the older stuff "cart type" and they were 2WD and usually gas powered. 300 6 cylinder Fords mostly. They would push or pull pretty much anything, just not quickly!

Update: I replaced my thermostat in the deuce this afternoon. I used the NAPA seal and thermostat and had no problems at all with fitment. I did notice that the seal was a little tighter after driving it into the thermostat housing, but I was still able to push the thermostat in by hand...

Very nice! I love the Desert Tan. Just can't wait until the warmer weather to get my Deuce sprayed tan......
