    New M109 owner in NE Ohio

    I also just noticed you have an Arctic front grill cover in the back. You'll appreciate that a lot in the winter! I do mine, that's for sure!

    New M109 owner in NE Ohio

    That is definitely a nice truck! The M109 is originally what I wanted but at the time when I was looking, there weren't any available that I found. As an outdoorsman, the M109's are great for RV conversions. As a prepper, it can serve as a mobilized home, command center, ect. So many things...

    M35a2 weird brake system issues

    He's talking about your load vs the weight of the truck, since the deuce and trailer weight far exceed the weight of the pick-up.

    M35a2 knock

    Did your truck have any blowby? Depending on how bad that crack is could be a source to one issue, but I don't think that helps the knocking issue though. I'm curious to see what you discover as you dig deeper as to what the knock was caused from.

    6 cracked piston

    The sleeves will slide out easily. Easiest way to do it without damage to anything, turn the engine over with a breaker bar or wrench on the bolt for the crank pulley. As the pistons cycle, the sleeves will start to come up. If you're redoing all the cylinders, just pull them out as the piston...

    Engine block drain cock for coolant change

    I haven't done this yet on the deuce I have now, but my older one, the coolant was pretty much a rusty coolant! I couldn't get that drain cock to open either, so I just disconnected a radiator hose and fed a garden hose in the radiator. Let the engine and water pump do the work. With water in...

    New owner questions

    To address the gauges, that's typical in lots of deuces, don't be alarmed just yet. Oil pressure can vary depending on oil life, amount, ect. 15-30 is normal, at idle, but should be higher with higher rpms. It's possible the gauge just isn't true, or the oil pressure sending unit coul be bad or...

    M35a2 weird brake system issues

    I'm guessing the truck has no brakes at all? What is no good pedal? Just trying to get extra details.

    M35a2 weird brake system issues

    If that has dual circuit brakes, then it's a huge pro for that truck!

    New M109 owner in NE Ohio

    Welcome to the site! You already made a huge mistake, no pictures! 🤣 If it drove four hours home with no issues, at least that's a great start!

    Making a Deuce a (better) highway vehicle?

    Like other posts on here, I'll agree with some of.the early ones. The deuce was just not meant to be a highway type of vehicle or a vehicle with speed. Even if you can get it up to higher speeds, the rest of the truck wasn't designed around it such as modern vehicles. Keep it bone stock with...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2022 - July VOTE HERE!

    Had a local parade this morning and then did a touch a truck event afterwards. Kids sure loved it! There was also two "JLTV" MV's there. Got some info on them. Armored, A/C, power steering, too speed of 80mph, ran by a Duramax diesel engine. They were pretty. The Army fellas told me those are...

    Leak

    You a fellow Michigander? If so, abouts what area? I'm from Western, lower peninsula north of Grand Rapids. I think there's also a few fellas up in northern lower peninsula and I'm not sure who is in the upper peninsula.

    Does Anyone Have This Bed Cover?

    I've thought about maybe building a shelter type deal on the deuce, but with a good tarp, I can't bring myself to do it, lol. The tarp works great and it's easy to take off and put on (for the most part). Plus I'm always getting and hauling drums or IBC totes of wmo so a shelter build won't...
