I will check those guys out, thank you.
I’m from the island originally, but haven’t lived there in years. That’s a bit far for me, but thank you for the offer.
I’d like to get the “Full” Deuce experience, so an A2 with whistler turbo, winch, and ndt’s
I’ve been thinking of joining the Deuce owners club, but have never been around one or driven in one. I’m currently an LMTV owner, so no stranger to military trucks. Is there anyone in the Albany, NY or Hudson valley area that can meet with me for some Deuce counseling? I can bring my Barbie...
Check for mud nests in your brake vent lines. Not sure where they are on your truck, but on my 1078 they are right above the axle. I had mud in mine causing leaks in my brake cans.
Yup, four 24s for me also. If I had it to do over again, I would have gone with 31s though for the higher cca and lower height. When it’s around zero degrees, those extra cca come in handy.
I remember reading of someone having it welded professionally, but they had to remove the compressor for the guy so he had room to work. Most of the people have just replaced the cover though.
Is your compressor support bracket on the rear by the power steering pump cracked or loose? It seems...
Another gentleman used a product called “Lock and stitch” which worked great for him. Not sure if was a welding or brazing product, but he said it is very strong. He really uses his truck too (unlike me), and hauls heavy loads and such. So far it has held up well. Just another option for you.

Louie Corona on the Facebook group had some work done at a shop in westchester county. He said they were very good and reasonably priced. I don’t remember the name of the place at the moment.
Whew, you’re the first person I’ve heard of that hasn’t roasted their engine after this line breaks. I need to do mine as it is rusty, sooner than later.
Was adjusting my brake shoes today (.030”) and came across a leak I had not noticed before because of the non standard configuration of the parking brake. Air tanks full, engine off, and parking brake disengaged with wheels chocked. The drivers side, rear tire, rear brake can leaks air from...
I got a quote from a shipper of just under 5k to the west coast port. You have to pay someone to get it to the port in Hawaii though, and then pay someone to pick it up for you in Seattle. There was a guy that checked a lot of the Hawaii trucks out, and he said they have tons of bent driveshafts...
