Somehow that switch arrangement does not sound right. If you have a split brake system, you have a 1986 or newer truck. Should they have had the hydraulic brake light switch at all, or always the air operated one? A few pictures would help. Military - so anything is possible. An air pack might...

:popcorn: I plugged my red high pressure line only. Waiting for an answer on that question.

Bypassed the FDC, plugged the manifold heater fuel line at the pump and did an oil change!

:) You might be a redneck ..... ....when your deuce has its hub keyways sealed with cigarette butts!

:shock: OK, that is one ROTTED fuel tank! Can't believe that the rest of the truck looks so good. I wonder if the corrosion has something to do with gasoline (vs the diesel in the multis)?

All you can tell from the small pictures in that ad is that the truck appears worth to be checked out more closely. It appears to be clean, the trailer has a new-ish cover on it and the price for either one is on the high side. It would be necessary to find out what the seller did to the truck...

How can you waste fuel when you are driving a Deuce?? :) Here is how I see it: When your engine is under load and you plant the foot down onto the go pedal, you are instructing the injection pump to supply fuel up to the maximum injection quantity per cylinder. The pump will also attempt to...

Affirmative. Your truck does not support trailer brakes and has no service or emergency air line. The airpack itself is the same and IMHO you plumbed the switch correctly. Glad to see that it all works. Air switch removes a nasty hydraulic failure point.

Resurrecting an old thread - new insights? Resurrecting an old thread. I noticed that the current parts interchange list (sticky) http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/82427-deuce-parts-quick-reference-spreadsheet.html does not (no longer) provide air filter information. What is the current...

Congratulations for saving a nice truck! It looks very complete and other than the faded paint also quite solid. What is the sheet metal like (ok, there is a dent in the back running board...) and the frame/undercarriage? :funny: Unfortunately, there is indeed a grain of truth in there; I...

The OP may be talking about the Robin Sage ROTC in the summer time. More power to you if you have a chance to bring a Deuce back into its intended habitat of off-road troop moving! I lean back and let others chime in regarding other aspects of hauling total strangers with your truck.

Seems like you are buying from someone who knows these trucks very well. Seeing that you plan on hauling weight and bringing two little ones, I suggest that you question the brake system, above all. The LDS upgrade is very desirable (especially if the air cleaner has been switched to one that...

Got her out of storage last week and drove her home slowly for 30 mins. The good: - brakes fully functional, no change in fluid level over 4 months storage - started right up (I had not removed the batteries; heated garage) The bad: - noticeable increase in oil level...fuel is leaking into...

On the up-side, your mod practically doubles your fuel economy! Who else here has a 20mpg Deuce?

I have one hub (passenger rear rear) that runs hotter than all the others. I re-grased bearings, re-adjusted the bearing preload (was correct) and re-adjusted the brakes (were correct, perhaps a tad tight, now they are decidedly loose) and the temperature did not change. When all hubs are at 40...

It is my understanding that fuel is supplied to the flame heater nozzle at all times at the regular fuel line pressure of about 60psi with the in-tank fuel pump running. The flame heater nozzle will not open at this pressure and not spray any fuel into the intake. When you activate the flame...

I ordered new seals for all axles and replaced them and all wheel cylinders as well. Now, having done that, I would say that on a leaking axle I would replace all seals. If an axle is not leaking I would take great care removing the brake drum as to not harm the inner seal, clean everything up...

This is your trusty flame heater for cold starts. It is known to leak, both externally and internally. Unless you need low winter temp cold start capability, disconnect and plug off. Of course, it is repairable; if you do a search you will find tips.

Driving long-distance in a deuce clearly depends on the truck, your patience and your rear end. If you plan to drive the truck year-round and on road salt infested roads, you may not care about rust-free. If you do and if you plan on storing it during the white season, consider getting one from...

Yup...a little off-putting, with all due respect, when a whole thread in a public forum appears to be an insider joke/story only. I would think that PMs or e-mail would be a better vehicle if the OP/insiders do not actually have a story to share with everyone else. It does feel a bit like...
