Well today, Oct. 08, two years ago I took delivery of M818. So, I guess you can call it an anniversary. I'm one who feels like I never get anything done...always seem to have a time deficit. So to put the last two years into perspective, I decided to list my accomplishments as far as repairs...

At idle my truck's exhaust stack would vibrate to the point were the metal stack bracket and cab bracket would grind together. This would, in turn, make an annoying high pitch squeaking. The stock spring set up was not offering enough stand off. I removed the inadequate stock springs, bolts...

I am not looking for this surprisingly obscure part...anymore. This is an FYI posting for those who are, or may be in the future, in search of this part. I replaced my steering wheel and horn cable recently and during the project this contact broke. It is located at the bottom of the...

This past week and ending on Sunday I embarked on a fuel tank cleaning and replacement project on my M818. Last September I installed an under bed tool box replacing the left side fuel tank rendering the tank surplus. After some thought I decided to take the extra tank to a radiator shop and...

Let us know how you will be planning to remember our fallen heroes on this thread. Get your Iron rollin'...America needs us, guys. Let 'em know we care! Hannibal and crew will be coordinating Cub Scout Pack 18's (Culver City, CA) involvement in the Flag Placement Ceremony at Los Angeles...

FYI. For those who live nearby. Great parade and always a great static display. City of Torrance - Armed Forces Day

What I really need is the length. I am looking into possibly replacing my 55gal. on the pass. side with the larger tank. I need to know length in order to modify battery box/running board. Thanks in advance.

Since purchasing my truck, I haven’t been satisfied with the location of the taillights. My truck is an M818 with a sectioned Deuce bed. It’s original configuration as a tractor places the taillights low on the rear frame crossmember, which is fine for a bobtailed tractor. However, the Deuce...

I'm usually pretty good at figuring these things out. This one has got me a little stumped. Please give guidance. Thanks in advance.

Starting back on the Veteran's Day weekend, I began making some upgrades to my M818. My plans were for Deuce rear mud guards and flaps, M817 fuel tank protectors (replacing the quarter fenders) and a double stack of tool/utility boxes behind the cab with an auxiliary air tool connection. I did...

Anyone here lay claim to the Deuce I saw on southbound Lincoln Blvd at Bali Wy. in Marina del Rey, CA (south of Santa Monica) on Saturday 11-06-10 at about 0800? I saw the truck turn right on Bali Wy. into the Marina but I could not follow. Post here or PM me. I'd like to meet up. Thanks.

I finally scanned a couple of pics of MV's from my active duty days. The M1A1 was at a British gunnery range at Bergen-Hohne in West GermanySometime in late 1988. I was the driver of this tank , but later moved to the wing tank, B 32. The M998 HMMWV was at the Lucuis D. Clay Kaserne, 2AD...

I received my freight shipment of a Duece bed front rack, headache racks and troop seats from Stephan Wood Products truck and trailer parts aftermarket accessories via Roadway (YRC) back on 09-14. I opted to have them shipped disassembled to save a little on freight charges. Glad I did because...

My brother and I removed Hannibal's left fuel tank and installed a Buyers 36"X18"X18" toolbox. This is the one I bought... Buyers Black Steel Underbody Toolbox with Black Aluminum Diamond Tread Door - Truck Tool Boxes at Tool Boxes Direct I believe I originally found the website here on SS...

Anyone have a NAPA part no. cross referenced for 5-ton rear axle gaskets (7979275). Thanks in advance.

The LO calls for HDO/OE 10 in the power steering pump. Can't find this readily available. What is its closest equivalent? Thanks in advance.

I'm thinking of removing the quarter fenders on my 818. What do all you think? Better with or without?

My brother sent me a video of a Formula 1 racing engine break-in. Pay special attention to the turbos. Pyrometers off the scale!

Wearing a new name badge, straight stacked and looking quite dapper, Hannibal appeared at his first car show. The show was the Culver City (CA) Car Show put on by custom car creator George Barris (Batmobile, Munster Mobile, etc. fame) himself. We entered the show grounds flying Old Glory and the...

I want to straight stack my truck. I could just cut off the curved portion of the existing stack , but I want the stack clear higher over the cab top. Does anyone know if the following item... JEGS 30613 JEGS Exhaust Tubing... will fit over the j-pipe as the original stack does. If not, any...
