Why????

[bc35339]

Why is it that my deuce says (Remove Gas G.) on the hood of it. It was like that when I picked it up from GL. My buddy's truck said (Remove Temp G.) on it when we picked his up and the Temp. G was missing.

My Gas g. is still there like they forgot to remove it.

I dont guess this is a big deal but i would like to know the reason for it..

Thanks for any info!!!

Better yet, why remove just one gauge, it would be easier to remove the entire cluster. Or maybe the guy that was supposed to fetch it couldn't read!

some mechanic somewhere tagged those parts for use on another vehicle


he missed yours

I was wondering becouse Id heared a rumor that some gauges cantained radiation. I Dont guess theres any truth to that is there?

Radiation!!! You bet, just on the 1950's trucks with the radium lettering on the gauges. Try bringing a old rusted deuce to a modern scrap yard, that's what those sensors are at the scales, they will come running out of the scalehouse and throw you off the property, ask me how I know . . .

I think my truck is a 1966 so It shouldnt have any radiation right??

No way to tell that just cause it's a 1966, there isnt a problem. Sometimes old parts are put on trucks that came off older trucks...

If the gauge glows in the dark it has the "bad" gauge in it.

i thought that was just a 21st century style high tech gauge.

If you find any radium gauges, do not install them in your truck or you will die of radiation poisoning. Send them to me

I've had a radium tach in my M108A2 for a couple of years now, hence my death!

Radium Gauge

My M215 has complete AC spark plug Radium gauges except for the speedo. I was able to recently find a nice Radium Speedo to complete the cluster, but the face has a few scratches. Just purchased a 3M plastic headlight lens restoration kit, hope to polish the scratches out of the speedo face.
No I don't open the gauges.
