Well, I'm definitely in the market for a full set of chains for my deuce. I don't have any intention of going somewhere, but we've had two feet of snow and now 40 mph wind. Does anyone know who sells military chains-both single 900-20 chains and tri-railer chains? I like being prepared and...

No rust issues is always a good thing. How do you find the standard issue heater works? This truck had one, as it was stationed in South Dakota(I found the paperwork on the floor where an E7 signed to release it for liquidation), but it was removed-I can see the witness marks where it was...

Got any pics of the dual cab heater?

With the NDTs it does rather suck in the snow. I would like to find some chains for it, so let me know if you run across any! Of course a personnel heater and defroster wouldn't be all bad...

So, what do you do in Montana when it's 0F out? Fire up the deuce of course! Went for a quick drive on the frontage road. Determined a personnel heater would be nice for such occasions, but the truck did awesome. I really enjoy these trucks. Nothing like having a little ground clearance! When...

Just curious if the starter and generator on these were originally OD or were they painted black?

Jeez I thought you were gonna post a pic of the hardtop on the truck-haha just teasing! Had a blast driving you m135!

The windshield on yours is a 3A windshield, someone, somehow divided it. As you can see from these pics, the cj-2a windshield is split, with a flat panel beneath the windshield. A 3A windshield has raised panels and has a solid piece of glass

Thanks USMC. I was curious about that TM. Page 201 shows rebuilding the king pin bearings or trunion bearings as the TM calls them. Page 201. Rather then using a fish scale to check pre-load of the bearings they recommend using a torque wrench as the knuckle turns. Nice to have manual to look at!

Check the king bearings-I'm not sure on these trucks if it happens frequently, but on a big truck, bad king pin bearings will do that. Jack the front end up and grab the tire top and bottom; rock it back and forth and see how much give there is. Have a helper look and see if you have loose wheel...

While this is an electrical thread, this video is applicable to the neat-ness of the g749. It amazes me that this truck really is water tight electrical wise! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xuHVINx6Otk that last canoe started paddling a little faster!

thats why I'm thinking it would be neat to have a parts source to service them. What did the plate run you?

I would suspect the parts to overhaul one to come in significantly less. As long as the fields and armature are okay the majority of serviceable parts shouldn't be too much. Famous last words. I'll go through the excercise of rebuilding one of each just for fun of it, then we'll know for sure...

I've got some old motor manuals that show how to go through and check the components when rebuilding a starter/generator. I can scan them as I get going on this and post them. I'm thinking some day the government rebuilds will be gone and it wouldn't hurt to have the rebuild parts/part #'s-if...

gimpyrobb-Its got the GMC 302 gas. Delco Remy starter number 1108581 according to the TM

So, after screwing around with a G749 that needs a starter this past week(WE think anyhow-Thanks to USMC), I've started to wonder how readily available parts were for the starters and generators for these old beasts. I've checked a few parts sources that wholesale electrical components of this...

it looks to be civilian-cj2a is a best guess but could be a 3a. Check the data tag on the firewall to the left of the air cleaner as you are standing looking at the engine. That will say what the body aerial is and model number. Fixing it is just a matter of how much money it takes. Jeeps in my...

As my grandpa would say, the invention of 4x4 was the worst thing that happened to people who drove in adverse conditions...why? Cause then people thought they could go anywhere! Wish he was still around...I never did get his take on if the invention of the 6x6 was good or not! Mother nature has...

Also, attached is the crank specs on the 302 so if someone decides to rebuild an engine and they need to know whether they need to go the next undersized bearing or not here it is...

correction-697M on the first main bearing
