Now way of knowing without transmission coming out and clutch being removed. It IS possible for the flywheel bolts to work loose, especially if the old ones were re-used and/or not torqued correctly. I do not remember if the Deuce has enough clearance for the flywheel bolts to fall out...

Yes, I can attest to the "disappearing" silicone brake fluid. I thought, for sure, it had to be leaking into the air pack. Took it out to overhaul..not a drop of brake fluid. No visible brake cylinder leaks. I have resigned to topping up brake fluid after winter storage and not ask silly...

It is a standard feature on these trucks. In stock form, quite useless, but with a quick connect, it can be helpful - yes, even for air mattresses! It is a convenient hookup point for compressed air. The Deuce air compressor is not exactly a powerhouse; something like 7 gpm, but ok for filling...

If you want a step by step no start troubleshooting guide: TM 9-2320-209-20-2-1 Start at page 25-1 Common issues are: stuck shutoff lever (behind the small cover), especially when the truck was parked with the shutoff pulled. "Button" fell off the hydraulic head Assumption is that, with the...

But Yukons and Grizzly lockers exist! Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

Might be time for a closer look at the front end. King pin bushings, steering arm slop (old school adjustable) and also alignment out of whack. A wobble definitely is not normal. Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

I am sure you can find a usage case where almost any manufactured part is too weak or won't last long enough. Fact is, most of our trucks are NOT pounded on off road trial courses day after day or constantly hauling heavy or being overloaded on off road trails. Most of our trucks do little...

And take a look to see if there is a lockout hub installed. some people put one single lockout on one of the rear hubs. Also, I have seen the axle shafts completely pulled and a cover cap installed. That would be an easy fix.

I thought ground also because LEDs really need a good ground. If you have power in the voltage range the LEDs support (often 9-36V), and a good ground, there is no reason they wouldn't light up, unless defective. Maybe the leads are labeled wrong on the new LEDs? Sent from my SM-G991W using...

You found something weird, asked, got answers, and totally avoided a potentially unpleasant incident! I've made my point before- I replaced my dog bone ends with the expensive Heim joints that are greasable, made me wince once when purchasing, and I know I will never have to touch them again...

It is only a few pictures, but my impression is of a once-decent truck that was ridden hard and put away wet. The headache rack etc. tells me that bling was more important than maintenance and it shows in the pics. Worth? Scrap metal price range. Maybe $1500 if it runs. Looks like lots of stuff...

I think you are doing the right things. I suspect it still has air trapped and can't quite get up to pressure. I feel the same about starting fluid, but sometimes a whiff to light things up really helps. In tank pump is running...but is it pushing fuel? Bleeders on the secondary filters tell...

Correct technical manual: TM 9-2815-210-34-2-1 Summary: Maximum allowable warpage: Cylinder head warpage must not exceed 0.003 inch (0.076 mm) across the surface. Minimum cylinder head thickness after resurfacing: The head must not be machined below 4.725 inches (120.06 mm) in overall...

You eliminated the worst option - the stock mechanical winch. If you think you are going to use the winch once in a while, maybe once every few months for a quick pull, I'd suggest to go electric. Ease of install, slower, more need to cool down - but, hey, you use it infrequently and when you...

While I like keeping my truck "original" (what does that even mean? The military itself made untold changes over its service life!) a modern gear reduction starter and a modern alternator are really not distracting or unnecessary luxury items on a Deuce that you want to drive. Technology has...

Let us know how it turns out and what you ended up buying! Might help somebody else out!

I had the same issue (several times, with several "new" flasher boxes). The flasher box usually sits inside the driver side fender. What is being sold as "replacements" - in my personal opinion - are already defective units, stuff that has not passed QC for the contracts but gets sold on the...

Do not use any regular heater hose - hose needs to be oil rated and temperature resistant; the return oil from the turbo is HOT when the turbo is working hard. I believe it is 1" hose and there are options; low-pressure hydraulic tank return hose for example. NAPA might have something, or a...

I love taking my Queen Lola to car shows where those anal-retentive classic car types go. While they use a microfiber cloth and special waxes to shine up their rides, I use a spray can to touch up little issues! Their faces are well worth it!
