March 14th, 2009. Gents: The M422A1 will run on 3 wheels, the manual said either of the back two could be off, but it was preferred that the left one was the one on. My experience with the #2043 M422A1 (1961) was that she would run on three wheels, didn't matter which one, provided that...

March 8th, 2009. TalordC15: To show you how deuces can behave, my truck will run all day at 2 or 3 MPH on a 95-100*F day, and generally stay at 179*F, same kind of weather on the road with a trailer at 54MPH, same reading. If everything's working right, the deuce seems to be heavily...

March 7th, 2009. Just out of curiousity........:roll: If the fuel density compensator is hooked up correctly, what benefit occurrs when cutting the unit out of the fuel system? While I know that it is the combustion chambers, and not the FDC that makes the engine a "Multifuel"...

MArch 7th, 2009. I Concur with REB87 above.... Why, when I take the 9:00X20 NDTs off my 1971 Kaiser Jeep (note the when, not "IF"), and single the tires out on the rear end, the 1100R20 Goodyear G177's M+S's singly have a higher load rating "H" then the pair of NDT's had togather. And...

MArch 7th, 2009. Gentlemen: No intent to start a firestorm here, but given the rarety of unmutilated M37's and their original small capacity in the design, would it not be more logical to either: A: Buy a deuce and fit the ag tank in the bed via a skid mouting (Deuces seem to be going for as...

March 6th, 2009. A wild liittle machine.... I almost bought the USS Cockenoe, a 93' US Navy YNT-37 (Yard Net TenderWWII Pearl Harbor,HI Dec. 7th, 1941).) tugboat, and wherever I fetch up next where there's a navigable river, maybe an Army ST tug (45'). Just cause they don't have wheels...

Nationwide Mutual. They know what an M35A2 is, and they don't go ballistic on restrictions, mine is licensed in Texas as a pickup with a 10,000 cargo capacity (State of Colorado called it that when I bought it) and they charge less for it and the S404.114 Unimog then they did for my old 1989...

MArch 5th, 2009. CTMUSTANG: OR you could take the easy way out and get the TACOM push button switch and install it with a GOOD ground wire to metal in the firewall. With the tacom switch, you hit any button and they all light up, then push the one you want, then...

MArh 1st, 2009. I have not heard of these items being designed for tubed tires, and any roadside repair on a duece would be the opportunity for me to call the large truck tire guy, as I don't need to be run over by one mother honking huge tire and wheel......(kinda like Jim Carrey and the...

Diode diverter March 1st, 2009. Thanks gentlemen for the input(s), I will fish around Tuesday when I'm off and see what the problem is.... hope it's not the starter switch, as those little devils shouldn't have called it quits in a year.... but I would have never thought of a voltage spike or...

March 1st, 2009. I DO LIVE IN TEXAS! The starter solenoid would make sense, because I replaced every other component within the last year except for the starter solenoid and the relay on the starter. This truck has probably been run more on the road on long trips this last year and two...

March 1st, 2009. Any good local machine shop should be able to run one up for you.... and if you need it case hardened, I'm pretty certain they can get that one done too. Uncle loved to do odd stuff like that... it makes it less likely anyone's gonna steel your parts and try to use them...

MArch 1st, 2009. In West Virginia the deuces used for logging work usually got fitted with Goodyear G177's M+S 1100R20's on singles flipped rear hubs. Our experience off road was that the duals tend to "float" on deep mud and snow, and won't deliver as substantial bite to move the truck. If...

March 1st, 2009. :?:Low temperature non-cranking issues M35A2: To the MAster Mechanics: My 1971 Kaiser Jeep Deuce "Saddam's Nightmare" has suffered the annual reoccurance of the non-cranking issues in 22-24*F conditions. She will start at 30-35*F, but not at ten...

:-DFebrary 28th, 2009. My chock lives under the passenger bench seat in the cab.... The parking brake might hold the truck, the transmission won't hold the truck if pushed hard enough, and I gotta make up a locking engine stop handle block, what with everything else on that truck, the...

February 25th, 2009. Gentlemen: That is a CCKW with true testosterone, more like an M35A2!:-P BUT, I don't know if I would have the shoulders to turn it, my Unimog's got German Army 12,50 X 20 issue M+S tires, (singles) and it is all you can do to turn it at...

FEbruary 19th, 2009. Just as a footnote, my 1989 F250 4x4 with 1-1/2 ton rear axle weighed 4200 Tare with a gas engine, and a S404.114 Unimog (Gas) is 6100 tare with traps and all equipment, and it's gotta be a much heaver truck then a diesel Chevy K3500, whichh is what your CUCV may be...

February 15th, 2009. I guess what it comes down to is, if you need either more speed or more power then what a stock deuce can do.... you need a bigger or more modern truck. The duece was designed as a replacement for the less robust CCKW's of WWII, which weren't the most overbuilt trucks ever...

:-DFebruary 1st, 2009. Dear Sasquach Santa: Yes, you're pretty much on the mark. In my family one half was Scots who went to Northern Ireland for Queen Elizabeth and King James, but when it was uncongenial there, we ended up in the Colonies back in the 1690's.... and caused the Proprietors...
