This is what I concluded as well. Aside from finding mentions of there being a detent around here, I haven't gotten into the TM's to see where it is and how to get it sorted. Based on my transfer case trying to engage the front drive under moderate braking I'm almost afraid to dig into it. I...

I have run into a seemingly similar sounding issue and it was the transfer case trying to fall out of high gear under load. I'm guessing the bushings are shot, I also have found there is zero detent retention on the transfer case shifter. This only occurs in higher gears and hence more torque...

Got the oil and filters changed on 'Army' as my daughters have named it, "its short for Army Truck." Can't argue with that logic. Debating on pursuing the spin on filters. The cans weren't bad at all but anti-drain back filters would really make me wince less at the 0 psi startups. Stuffed...

That's awesome! I just got back from a 10 day camping trip, sorry for such a late response. It was a learning adventure on the way home, truck has some here and there's I'm coming across. It definitely opened up quite a bit on the way home, I don't think it was driving any extended distances in...

Thank you! I've got a list started, used the parking brake as an introduction to the TMs, went through as if I was reassembling it, reset all the adjustments and then worked through the procedure. The inner pad is basically gone, the outer is about 4x more pad. Someone "adjusted" it via...

Thanks! I'll have to get some pictures together. I've got a plethora of tools, parts, and such that came with it. The cherry picker for the bed, canvas and bows, winter canvas thing, ether start switch and a few cans, d turbo, master cylinder, wheel cylinder, and the list goes on. I'm going to...

Made it up, made it back! Left the house at 5am, returned around 4. Truck did pretty good, although the transfer case wanted to fall out of high as I approached home. Securing the handle resolved that for the time being. I see quite a few threads about fluid, bushings, and bolts so I have a few...

Well, looks like it's a solo adventure. Looking to get an early start in about 7.5 hours. Excitement is real, the unknown is also real. Should be a party!

Yep, we have a set of TST sensors on the tandem axle camper. They are definitely not cheap, but having a blowout rip the wheel well out of the camper is a lot more expensive and repairs like that are never as good as factory! I definitely threw money at 11 of them for the Deuce, but for the...

Didn't see anything referencing this in the search. In looking at my registration options in Michigan I came across HB 4183 that was signed, enacted and effective April 2, 2024. This adds the following to the Historic Vehicle section regarding uses: "For purposes of this section, use of the...

Thanks! It's awesome to finally be pulling the trigger and have such a community here pitching ideas, encouragement, and beware of's.

Pending any horrible milage issues, I was planning to fill it to the line to dilute the current fuel and make it back. Figure I'll check it when I check tires and hubs and see what it's looking like.

Tires look basically new, lots of tread, round and straight to my untrained eye, supple rubber. No whumping or thumping on the blacktop. The truck has a bottle jack, 6x6 block of wood and what I'm told is the geared lug wrench among the included items. Hopefully a standard set of tools and...

Looks like in 2 days I get to enjoy trial by fire on a 250 mile drive in my first Deuce. I'll be coming through Reed City, Michigan on M-10, south on M-66 to M-50, then either M-50 or US-223 for the home stretch. Figured sticking to the M's and US's was a much better plan than being a rolling...

Luckily the truck comes with new fuel filters, oil filters, brake cylinders, master cylinder, all sorts of seals, gaskets, and more. I plan to bring a couple gallons of Rotella T4, a couple gallons of coolant, and it comes with a bottle of DOT5. Throw in the basic hand tools, wrench and socket...

I'm sure I have as well, but as the day gets closer I seem to remember less... Seems very well taken care of, getting new oil before I go. Checked other fluids when I went to look at it, everything looks good, sounds good, drove surprisingly well for my first time. I thought it would have been a...

Trying to recruit my buddy to drive chase vehicle home, depends on his work though. Worst case scenario its a solo adventure and we'll return for my truck at a later date.

Thanks for the heads up! I figured on a camelbak and probably 6 hours for drivetime on the back'erish roads. Truck comes with an aviation comms system with earmuffs. I'm real particular about my ears, so that was a bonus to be able to talk normal while driving around and still keeping it hearing...

Hello from Michigan! Joined 8 years ago when I started looking at M35's for about the fourteenth time, each time more serious than the last. Of course, I started looking at them when the auctions were plentiful and these things were going for $2,000- $3,000 for a great one. Needless to say I...
