Interesting history. Thank you @BKubu for asking what I was thinking! General Kaiser, how do you deal with the spare parts issue? It cannot be easy to find parts for your truck?

@General Kaiser Ok, here is the good news: - you have evidence of what is wrong with the transfer case - the shrapnel looks very much like a chewed up bearing - chances are, there is nothing else wrong with the TC (i.e. gears are ok; specialty parts that are not off-the-shelf are ok) - removing...

The truck is great for a welding moron like me to practice and improve! Worse welding = more grinding

Can't help with the CTIS, but the heater core is a cute mini radiator, full metal, no plastic. There are fabric strips to prevent chafing on the steel housing . The core may have vibrated through the fabric and sprung a leak. In any case, you can simply solder it! I used rubber strips I cut from...

I suggest to loosen and re-tighten (not over-tighten) the fuel line at the head. Also, wipe the head dry and check for cracks. That may be difficult if you still have the aluminium plate on top with the line numbers. No tricks to loosening/removing the hard line. I suggest spraying the fittings...

Clinto, that is 4x the life span of the military correct flasher units I had installed. They were utter garbage. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

If it is that cruddy, consider dropping it off at a tank and radiator shop that will boil it out. When it is spotless, coat the inside with one of the commercial tank lining products. As for in tank pump: a gauge at the elbow above the tank; in tank pump should give around 5-7 psi. If you...

My recommendation is 11.00R20 or 12.00R20 dual or singles (as you prefer). The 9.00-20 are unnecessarily small. The tubes cover a few tire sizes. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

It would be great if someone had a source and a parts number for these bushings.

@Aussie Bloke Yes, I do understand that traction comes from the tires interacting with the ground, ultimately. My question was intended to explore how much effect the larger/coarse treaded/heavier tires had by themselves (by grabbing the ground and not needing a locker) versus the locker...

I am still not happy with my adjust. The hinges slide sideways (towards driver and passenger side) but not forward and backwards. I used washers as shims to get the rear bottom door edge up. Maybe it is BFH adjusted?

Gringeltaube's hinge is post #4. He may be able to send you better drawings. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/bumperette-dump-hinge.45190/

I researched this a while back. The eBay kit is from a reputable seller out of Indiana that knows the trucks very well and also does installs. Very likely to do exactly what it says it would. Others on this site have fitted other hoists, both electric-hydraulic scissor hoists and PTO driven...

I can tell you that for the attachment screws, stainless hex bolts work just fine. There is sufficient clearance even without the heads being countersunk. I learned that when I had to mangle my original screws (what a stupid design choice) during door removal.

For reference, at 27:04 is the landing after the jump. Not surprisingly, the front suspension bottoms out. I bet this is harder on the driver than on the truck. If that happens on a hard surface, the driver might need a chiropractor and dental work. Score: Deuce 1, Redneck 0.

@92ramaro How did you find pulling the fully loaded dump trailer with the empty Deuce on slushy roads? I suppose you have working trailer brakes; otherwise I think you'd need to take it really slow.

These trucks are tough. I am sure the trucks that went to the Aberdeen proving grounds endured even more, all the way to the breaking point. At least this video did not have it as its stated, ultimate goal to destroy the truck. There are design features that are working in the Deuce's favour...
