KsM715, Appreciate the advice, the buyer will be a Retired MSGT of USMC Glory who is now serving as a truck driver moving loads around on base. He served his USA Proud and he'd love to have a Deuce. He's also a Civil Service employee with a favorable background check which is a requirement...

I went through the GL headache for about 1/3 of the purchase price the OP is looking at on my truck. I'm also in the process of buying another through GL for about 2/3 of what the OP stated. Once it's titled, passes a -20 inspection and repair as required by the TM, I'll get about what the OP...

The next few batches will probably be high. Everyone seems to have their tax returns and I'm getting beat up currently just trying to get another A2 for under 2,000. The A3's seem to average in the 5,000 to 7,000 range but I have noticed a few very clean winch trucks from Sparta, Wisconsin go...

Getting on base shouldn't be a big problem as long as the tag and insurance are good to go on the 5 ton. GL will even give you a short window of time to get the towbar connected and drag it on down the road. Alot of those trucks in Anneville looked pretty good. Just bring a set of batteries...

Must be a National Guard truck rolled the weekend after the speedo was replaced. This truck will go to a scrapper or surplus dealer just wanting the weight of the iron or the parts that aren't crushed.

Well, this seems to have turned into a pissing contest. Lucas does make some fantastic claims on their website and on the side of their bottles. I've used this product in a worn out motor. It probably appreciated the thick viscosity as it was rather worn out. In any other case, as it is now...

I used Lucas in my old worn out Eclipse before rebuilding it. It'd smoke less and retain oil better but seemed to run about the same. I'm sure that had more to do with the higher viscosity oil not leaking through the valve guides as badly. Now that it's rebuilt, I just put regular oil with no...

Nice looking truck. Looks like they sold quite a few of them at Anneville today. I'm happy for you and welcome to the addiction. Now you'll be wondering where you're extra money starts to go, I know I am!!!!

The NATO tri color camo looks great on these trucks. Mine was repainted in 96' and it's fading but correct. If you look on the hood, you can see a rusty outline of a star. I mean, straight edges and all. I'm thinking of repainting the tri color camo but am now wondering if my truck came from...

AM General's have an expanding metal mesh grille!!! I did not know this until I first showed my truck off to a retired Civil Service man. He knew that it was a 71' or 72' AM General from first glance and he's right, it's a 71'. I had no trouble insuring the truck through GEICO for what that's...

The trucks should drive as long as you bring 4 batteries and on some, air the tires up or put the spare on. Most all of them came on to the receipts line off the train under their own power 10 years ago. The silver tape on the intake and exhaust, removed belts, primed pulleys and removal of...

The leaking hub is the coldest one on the truck oddly enough. I will feel the drums after my next drive and see what they feel like.

I get picked on by people saying "I'm too Motivated" or "You need to leave the Army in the past". Fact of that is, the Deuce is a very motivating truck and even though I'm no longer Active Duty and currently a National Guardsmen, I can never leave the Army completely in the past. It's just a...

I've searched but to no avail.... My Deuce seems to be hard to roll in cold (below freezing) weather. When coming to a stop, it will stop itself even on a very slight downhill during the last 3 mph. It feels as though the driveline is binding up (FWIW, I just put a new tire 100% tread on the...

Which lot number did you win? I may be able to help recover and store the truck while the shipping gets sorted out. I work at the base in Albany and live about 15 miles up the road in Leesburg. I can also preview and check it over for you if you're interested. Joseph

Emergency air to release, Service Air to apply. I just answered this in your other post. Basically, Air Brake's have two chamber's, one hooked to the emergency line to release the spring's that apply the brakes in the instance of no air pressure, the other to apply the brakes once you press...

:grd:We are installing the deep fording kits tomorrow, we'll be sure to replace the duckbill air cleaner housing drain, and our HMMWV's will get through that hole!!!!!!! No more messing around with hyrdostatic locked motor's or any of that trash. I expect to see HMMWV's doing what Uncle Sam...

Mine's a 71' AM General and it's insured through GEICO for about $20 a month. I do have an annual mileage restriction of 3,000 miles a year. 3,000 miles in one year in the Deuce would be a stretch for me at 50 mph. and 10 mpg. for me!!! I enjoy it in moderation. OP, are you bringing you're...

The truck description makes it seem like a very desirable deuce. I'd verify all of these components are installed and everything is in good working order. There are quite a few people out there who will try and flip these trucks for profit. Pretty easy to spot. Fresh Paint in an abnormal...

Mine has it also. I have the leg that goes in that clamp for the ring mount as well. If anybody needs it, it's free minus the shipping charge. I'll remove it and send it to you at once.
