    Quick and easy air chuck off of deuce air sytem.

    He has it tucked up out of the way. Good ponit about the moisture. Although closer to the tank for the air tools is better. I have 4 deuces and none of them have a quick disconnect under the dash. It is easy to install though.

    Need new transmission

    Not complaining about the rules at all. They are there due to a fear of being charged with collusion. Posting coments about PMing people instead of posting could be considered collusion. Where as posting about an upcoming auction would be considered as free advertisement. Anyway: as I said...

    Need new transmission

    Kinda works the other way, you run the bid up and that would cut into the profit from a resale. :roll: It really cracks me up that anyone believes an obscure post about a potential upcoming auction at an auction site that has it's ads on plastered every ficken page of this this forum Is going...

    Crew Cab M880?

    :drool: Not an M series. Likely Air Force, they had tons of the crewcab short box trucks. Front turn signals indicate 1978 lock out hubs not typically on a 78 IIRC the front axle the AF crew cabs would have been a Dana 60 vs the typical Dana 44 Any signs of Strata blue? Interesting wheel...

    M35a2 block heater

    When at operating temp the oil is at least 300° while the coolant is half that The oil is what is cooling the turbo down from the near 1200° exhaust temp some of us are pushing. So I guess if that block heater is gonna get things that hot, maybe I don't want one. {Sarcasm Smilie here}

    Need electrical help!

    Check for loose grounds and wires. A lot of Michiganders on here. Although West Michigan is a vague description of location, there may be someone here that is close and knows something about the CUCV's. Also check out Great Lakes MVPA (link in my sig line) next meeting is 2-21 in St Louis...

    Making a Deuce a (better) highway vehicle?

    wldrbob, yes with an SAE bellhousing out of something like a C70 chevy. the deuce gearing will not allow good fuel mileage with a BBC, but could handle 3000 RPM all day, unlike the LDT. I put 1100R20 Michelin XL's on my M36A2, while the larger diameter gives me an extra 5 mph or so, the ride...

    Michigan Winter 2010 MV Rally.

    Details on the location would be nice. Now us Northern Michigan types can handle the cold, but this location have a warming facility? As we might just get a little cold & wet during a trail side field repair seminar. ;-) Your dates are the weekend following the Great Lakes MVPA meeting in St...

    W400 Ambulance

    Hummvee tires/lift kits, 880 Dodge

    Forged Aluminum spacers might hold up. 2" of spacer + big azz tires on a fairly heavy truck = a whole lot of stress I have a pic of a M886 over there too.

    Hummvee tires/lift kits, 880 Dodge

    Due to the diameter, the stock tires clear it, as do my 285-75 R16's on 16x8 wagon wheels.

    Hummvee tires/lift kits, 880 Dodge

    4" lift should do it. I have yet to see humvee rims mounted on an M880 series truck. I estimate that 2" thick STEEL spacers would do it, do not use aluminum spacers! I have the 36 in bias plys on the stock 16.5 M880 wheels (M1008 came with 16" wheels). I have a Rough Country add a leaf up...
