Hey Guys, It's Me Again... Just thought I would post a few things that we've been doing to the deuce. Yesterday we fabed up a replacement seal for the steering column. And yeah I know some of you might laugh, but I really didn't like the original replacement one's, and the only thing left of...

We don't have any big truck shops near us here unfortunately, as that would be nice for a few things on the deuce. I know it costs a few $'s more for the entire shoe kit from saturn surplus, but it doesn't require a trip out of town. As far as the cable goes, you are probably right, it may just...

Oh, and where did you get the new instrument panel id labels?

Hi, Great Looking setup Darwin! On the Dash Lights, where did you get your colored replacement light covers??? I need some of those as mine were painted over, and they need replacing. Thanks!!!

Yeah it's not a bad truck, just needs some maintenance to get it back up to level. I'll try to make updated posts as we go along. Yeah, never saw that movie... but I do remember the title... just because I thought it sounded pretty dumb.

Yeah I meant to add the M36 after the 5 ton in my OP. I knew it was one of the two, but I wasn't sure if the 5 ton was wider or not. Thanks for the Clarification on what it fits! Sure, I'll send this Cover to you.... ...So long as you have a new 2 1/2 Ton Camo Cover to send me back :D

Thanks SPCWarning! I couldn't find another deuce that was Butterbean Green :D But I like the 3 color camo too.

Hi Everyone! Been studying this site for a while now, reading up on "How To" articles and tons of other information. This is our first MV's and could really use some input and help. We need to get these trucks back up to full condition as we are going to need them soon when we are moving to...

Has anyone compared the noise reduction ability between the Donaldson M070028 & The DynoMax 17224??

They make an insulated floor mat pre-fitted to the deuce? Or is it a mat that must be cut to fit? I had already been thinking in this direction, but it seems that the application of a bed liner or other type substance would have to go down on the metal floor first to prevent any moisture build...

Ok, I'll look for the Gillespie 24087 paint. Could use a little of that anyway in some other places and/or mods. Thanks!

Yeah, I'm going to add a flapper too. That way I don't have to remember the plastic coffee can :D

By the Way, Where did you get High Heat OD Paint?! Thanks!

Ok, now I got it. I'm going to be doing quite a bit of highway driving at times. And like you mentioned, the C-Turbo is loud. So I think this is where I'll start with my "sound deadening" quest and see how much I can do. Thanks!

If I can get a better muffler to fit by leaving the heat shield off, I'll go that route. What muffler do you use? Do you know what is the best muffler by function? Have a part #

I know by posting I'm trying to revive an older thread. But I'm needing to install a muffler on our 68' A2 Deuce, and this M070028 sounds like its the way to go. I'll be honest, I don't care to much if it look perfectly stock or not, what I care most about is function. However, I do want it to...

Thanks Guys for all the help! We made it home late yesterday evening. Just kept it at 55-60mph according to the speedometer, which was showing as 50-55mph on the gps. I would have posted something here a few days ago, but the internet at the hotels was a complete joke. I still have the hard...

Ok... So How many people here do 55mph in their M1008 CUCV 's and have not had any problems with over revving the engine? The CUCV seems that it will do 55mph easy, but I just dont want to blow the engine or other. Also if I can do 55mph in the M1008, then I can keep up with my brother in the...

55mph is overreving??! I had two people tell me 60mph on highway. Well the truck has the stock tire size, I don't know why it is registering 4mph faster on the speedometer than what it is actually traveling. When the speedo saids 59mph, it is actually traveling at 55mph. Anyway, guess I'll...

Hi Guys, Thanks for the replies! The trans was the original trans, just fully rebuilt. The fluid level was overfull, my fault got in to much of a hurry yesterday, especially when i didn't seen any fluid on the stick the first couple of checks when filling. Anyway, the guy I got it from told me...
