    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Good to know. It didn't do it until I removed the winch driveshaft. I suppose it is just rotating because of the gear oil film strength between the disengaged parts.

    goldneagle's 1985 M1008 recovery and restoration thread...

    Somewhat uncommon, but I have seen it more than a few times. Just think, those parts go pretty much unlubricated from the time they leave the assembly line. Now, imagine how many times those parts have actuated even before you got the truck.

    metal bluing on truck parts

    Could be anodizing. If you want a real tough finish, parkerize then paint. Hard to do large parts though because of tank size.

    goldneagle's 1985 M1008 recovery and restoration thread...

    If it was my daily driver I would take the column apart and remove the wheel lock pawl. I have done it on all my previously owned civilian vehicles after having one lock up on me turning a corner. I HATE steering wheel locks. If someone wants to steal your vehicle a wheel lock isn't going to...

    Got a new deuce, have some questions from under the truck.

    You will never get park brake shoes to wear evenly. They just aren't that well designed. They work great as long as there is some material left on the shoes and they are properly adjusted, they just weren't designed to be adjusted to wear evenly because they aren't a service brake. Slap a new...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Reinstalled my heater, serviced all three axles, transfer case, fixed a few oil leaks, changed engine oil, greased everything again, replaced the leaking brake master cylinder, adjusted my idle speed a little higher, started to service the winch and found the input shaft seal completely unseated...

    No oil pressure blues - simple fix

    I know, but not everyone that looks at the site does. That's all I'm saying. You guys are all good people, I don't want to see any stupid stuff happen to anyone because of some lighthearted joking online. You can't be too careful with what you say in public places anymore, even when joking...

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    Don't drive it anywhere until you replace those hood latches. You will be looking for a hood if you do.

    No oil pressure blues - simple fix

    Saying such things on the internet is funny until an investigator shows up at your door. Not trying to ruin the party, just looking out for you guys.

    JW Speaker headlights

    Not a bad way to go, but I went to the led lights to drop my amperage draw on my electrical system. That's really the only reason I did it, I was fine with the lighting of the originals. I'm not hard to please though.

    JW Speaker headlights

    Well, they are half that now. $199 each. I don't know, maybe having the military connectors doubles the price. If I have another failure with the trucklite headlights I'll buy a pair of the speakers and try them out.

    NHC 250 water pump tool- needed-

    Good to know. I'll give that a shot just as soon as I get the right belt... Ordered a water pump belt and TNJ sent me two power steering belts instead...

    JW Speaker headlights

    I'm still using the trucklites. Having real good luck with this set so far.

    NHC 250 water pump tool- needed-

    I picked up a 934A0 for a fella and the water pump was locked up. I've got the new pump, but I was not aware that a tool was required to rotate the pump in order to tighten the belt. Anyone got one they could mail to me, and I'll send it back in short order? I don't want to buy one, probably...

    JW Speaker headlights

    I was at NAPA today and was informed by the counter man that they now sell led headlights like the ones on my truck. He showed me a sale brochure and, as it turned out they were the JW speaker headlights. They are the 7" round multivolt lights. They don't have the military wire connectors, but...

    How much paint?

    Depending on the paint you use, two gallons would work and provide several coats of good coverage.

    Didnt want to be left out of the Sherman party!

    Freaking awesome! I just saw Fury and I loved it. That tank is beautiful.

    Bit delayed in posting, but this is my Deuce.

    They all look like crap when you get them. A little paint goes a long way for looks on these trucks.

    Condensation and milkshake in my trucks valve cover

    I wish you were closer, I'd take a look at it for you.

    Mixed used oils for fuel

    The fact that the oils are mixed won't matter, as long as you filter them clean it makes no difference. Just FYI.
