You can get a 90* 4" elbow from NAPA as standard exhaust fitting will set your mushroom cap horizontal to keep the rain and snow out this was a field mod applied in many motorpools. Or for a coupla bucks more you could go to a mufflet shop...

Good luck CatMan and Co:
I have been watching the MVPA on this one, and I believe that they have leaned too much toward historic vehicle use restrictions on these vehicles. What one needs to do is force the Feds to permit an exemption as they were designed to Federal...

Back in the late 1980's when I ran for Police Chief in a northern West Virginia town, we were having problems with drug dealers using high speed boats on the Ohio River, and the Coast Guard and the police departments had nothing to deal with it. Had I gotten...

Some of the older, gas engined military vehicles were designed to survive an Electronic Pulse from a nuke. My Swiss S404.114 Cargo Unimog used shielded spark plug wires and it stell has a special unit on the firewall to abosorb the pulse without the truck shutting...

Thanks for the laugh I got out of reading your comments about being stuck in West Texas.:razz:.... I always thought you western Texans used your trees for pipe cleaners, as like the rivers here in East Texas, few of them measure up to a...

GOHOT229:
On further thought, the Swiss Saurer system could be adapted to the deuce, but I believe that the TM-10 Operator's manual may address using the rear duals as a winch in an emergency also, if not one of the PM magazines may have covered it. In short, one attaches...

RES0W18:
If your pockets are deep enough, I would suggest contacting any one of the dealers that handle the Deutz diesels, much better built and more robust then a GMC... the -71 series always left something to be desired in torque, and the sound of them, well, the...

Now that my Multifuel has has the rear main seal and carrier gasket replaced, she behaves fine, with no more leaks then any other 38 year old truck. Likely the radiator will be the next recoring job, as its starting to show wear. To quote "Wreckerman" above ...

I concur with the diagram above for extracting the truck by itself. Much Better though to have a friend with another winch equipped deuce behind you to pull you out. I have seen a Swiss Army Sauer truck with a center...

SEE WIll Wagners design..... Simple, Almost indestructible, I made one for the M35A2 and one for the Swiss S404.114. I can tell you Will has the MOJO with his design, simple, neat, strong and easy to make.... NOW we gotta get him to come up with those convoy...

Has anyone here ever considered siping or grooveing the lugs and main ridge on the NDT's/NDCC's????:razz: My Swiss Army Cargo Unimog had the original Swiss version of NDT's with grooves cut diagonally through the lugs and the main or center ridge, and she...

I can't grouse about the multifuel if cared for and treated right. The Cummins would be good, the Cat, well, Cats ain't what they used to be...... As to 52 in a 5 ton..... Don't you guys have the same problem as us deuce owners, low geared axles? Built as an off...

North-East Texas would be interesting, perhaps a tour of Camp Maxey or the Red River Army Depot could be worked in??? There are quite a few deuces and other critters between here and Sherman,TX, the problem is most deuces don't like running long distances, and my...

Dear Stone Mill:
Parts needed will be rear main seal, carrier seal and 6 new flywheel bolts, plus transmission to bell housing gasket. 6 ton jacks, transmission jack large or chain hoist and about 12 to 14 hours to do it right. Parts are...

NHDiesel:
I may be joining you in the colder climes shortly, but if I do I'm gonna go stock heater for the deuce. The Swingfires will burn your hair off, but I have rarely ever heard of them working reliably for any length of time on diesel, gas yes...

Rockman:
If you're replacing the cab door lock mechanism, you DO NOT NEED to remove the glass. The trick is to work the bolt mechanism up the rearmost part of the door pocket and the spindle and related piece up behind the regularor. Leave the glass up. Once you...
The Byrd will make them fly or shake in their boots.
Yea, Go Senator Robert C. Byrd.....!!!!! I wished I still lived back in W.Va. because Senator Byrd is the man...:-D

N.B. take a page from the Clunkers for bucks program, Waterglass it at the end, as its nothing...
Split Brakes
October 14th, 2009.
Likely the Air Force didn't want damage to its B-52s and fighters should a deuce suffer brake damage or malfunction on the flight line..... I only wish the Army had been as logical.:twisted:
