Passenger side, engine block tag riveted on, black and silver, partially obscured by exhaust or turbo. It should say "MULTIFUEL" and then LDT or LDS. LD is also possible. While looking there, look for cast letters on the engine block, usually forward of this tag, that say "TD". This signifies a...

This is what this type of truck looked like before..umm...being improved: All credits: NARA & DVIDS Public Domain Archive

Here is the original thread with the summit part number. 20" fan. The blades are soft enough to be trimmed with scissors if there is fine tuning required. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/service-bulletin-m35a3-self-destructed-radiator-fan-threw-blades.182830/

OMG!! I had those visions for the steel fan! Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

I used a synthetic generic fan from Summit with very satisfactory results. Much less rotating mass and no danger of a fan blade massacring the radiator. Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

The spin-on oil filters are among the best updates for this engine! FWIW, my adapters kept leaking until I really torqued them up...above the recommended 65 ft-lbs. Lift pump..the wiring can get a little crispy on top of the fuel tank. If your fuse keeps blowing you could have a simple short...

That is a very massive no-nonsense cow catcher up front on the bumper!

Wow, those boot/knuckle shields are beefy. I was thinking "where are the boots??" Sure well protected. Western Canadian Rockwell?

Not sure where the disagreement comes from; I agree with @Floridianson on all clutch brake points; I am not aware I said anything about how far to depress the clutch; even when double clutching you do not go all the way in but do as @Floridianson described. Clutch brake is for slowing the...

The search function is your friend. Torque spec is 65-70 ft-lbs. See copper washer above. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/hydraulic-head-leaking-need-advice.52223/

@jake1086 that paint scheme would look very neat. Can you imagine recreating one of those trailers and taking the complete rig to shows? I wouldn't think an original trailer survived (in the wild; outside of a museum). You definitely grabbed a rare truck!

Congrats to the purchase! Not intending to hijack, but I tried to find out what a "WS-133" was. Wow...GMC V-12 engine.....and I found a little article and pic: https://www.telegram.com/story/special/2017/01/03/cars-we-remember-gmc-powered-missile-transporter-truck-memories/22838968007/ The...

You are right about this plug not having any sealing washer. A common jungle fix, when they leak, is to put a copper crush washer underneath. Good that cleaning and re-seating stopped the leak. As the name suggests, there is a plunger underneath this plug. If your truck won't start and the fuel...

May I suggest that we get back on topic here? The question asked by the OP was a very good one. He is seeking advice and he received some very good one. The CONSENSUS is that the Deuce transmission is a standard synchronized transmission and should be driven as such, clutch for every gear...

So clever to use an engine hoist for the door. I lifted it by hand and was surprised by how heavy it was, trying to not throw my back out, lowering it all the way to the ground. I also put it back the same way because, well, some of us never learn.

There are some good videos on YouTube about shifting standard transmissions. Technically, with the synchronized 2-5 gears in the Deuce you do not need to double-clutch, or rev-match on downshifts but it sure does help (because the parts involved are relatively massive and spinning at high rpm...

In reality, not even free to the buyer because this "cost of doing business" is, with many vendors, already factored into the advertised price of the item. The consumer pays, no matter what.

All I can say is that I have visited the man in his lair, admired his gun truck and his assortment of military vehicles and trailers and find him absolutely trustworthy. I have ordered from him and am happy with the shifter boots and winch cover. Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

FWIW, my transmission is tight and I am running 40W and it is indeed easy to shift - and it absolutely hates getting gears floated. I drive 10 speed and 18 speed trucks and I know what I am doing. My Deuce wants the clutch, plain and simple. Double clutching and rev matching on the way down...

Oh no!! However, people are always looking for hardtops. Maybe you can identify what yours is for and sell it. There definitely is a market. Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk
