Thanks for 5he warning.

Me tooooo, god I love it, Studebaker

Mine has that. I'm trying to learn how to operate it etc. Any information or where I can learn about it?

@Jeff hold the switch in the start position for 3 minutes, when you hear it kick on switch it to run. There's not much info, mine has the starting instructions on the door.

@@HollyArms1 oh wow hold it for 3 min? Okay I'll give it a shot

3 minutes seems like forever to hold it, especially when your cold. I timed it with my phone, that was the average time it took, I believe I read it somewhere too.

You have a heated seat in a Deuce?! That is genius!

P.S. got to have the coffee thermos , that topped the video off, I found an American made one on e-bay, I take it with me in my truck, real Army like, ha,ha. Great videos B.C. Do more Deuce videos, please. How about filling up the fluids even the transfer case , rear ect,,,. What ever might need it annually .

Interesting. Thanks for the input.

Maybe hopefully calis special right to set its own emission laws will be ended soon

Calis special right to make emissions laws is gone, I think you might be good now.

Do it, I did, got mine from Boyce Equipment , Ogden , UT.

Sounds like alot of blood

Once after a bad snow storm I was helping my dad with his plow truck and we had to jump start it and there was alot of heavy snow on the hood and it fell and slammed on my hand..... guess what a 1990 silverado 3500 hood hurts

Try a broom handle next time

Da Sturm had a 79 f150 when we had a bad winter...those ford trucks will warm you up

I've got a 70 f250 that i love but unfortunately I'm going to have sell it due to health and being out of work. It's a great solid truck too still has the original am radio and it works. Wish I didn't have to sell it.

Am I the first one in a year to say, "I see what you did there"?

I added o e to mine and I constantly cussed the defroster hoses . They were a bitch as well as the hose that goes on the blower motor to the fresh air intake.

@@georgedistel1203 I found that mid 60s Camero defroster hoses are 3 1/4 inch and fit the Deuce perfectly.

I thought about that but being in the south temps like this only happen a few days a year if at all. In colder climates having a front cover would be a big benefit during winter months.

Tony L I had to put a kill switch inline before the main blower motor switch on mine because my kids and their friends would go in there and play army, and as kids do ,they would move all the levers and switches and often when I went to start the truck the batteries were dead because they would leave that switch on.

Yep, the CATs are strictly diesel it should also be able to run on JP8 if you have that available.

Yeh

Could be. I still think it's odd for it to bypass the main power switch unless they had concerns about the lift pump causing a hydrolock. There's probably an odd ball reason that I'm not even thinking of and would never come up during regular civilian use.

The oddball reason for the fan motor being directly connected may just be that it was that the heating was an accessory to be retrofitted as needed , no one could be arsed to install a relay for it. Too time consuming to install, and adds in complexity.

Jim Holley Depends on what you mean by hydro locked engines. If you mean the engine got water in it while it wasn’t running. You would first drain the oil and put new oil in it. Then take all the injectors out and crank the engine and the pistons should force any water out of the cylinders through the injector hole. You do this until it stops spitting water. Now if you meant you hydro locked an engine. There is only two outcomes. Either one you get super lucky and it wasn’t a super bad hydro lock, which is unlikely, and no damage occurred. Or the opposite happens. Mostly likely the engine is toast. It might still run but either never the same or will eventually break. Because when an engine hydro locks it is basically like while the piston was traveling upwards you smash it on the compression stroke with a sledge hammer because water doesn’t compress. There is four different outcomes. One is that right when the engine hydro locks, it spits a rod and things just got everywhere inside the engine and you will have to do a complete engine rebuild. Two, the pressure destroys the pistons head, usually along the side and your rings are screwed. So in this case the engine will probably still run but it will never run the same and have a whole bunch of blowby. Three it bends the connecting rods and it will run just fine for a while but once you bend metal it becomes weak and will eventually break. Thus spitting the rod and things just go everywhere. Four it smashes the bearings at the bottom of the connecting rod that go around the crankshaft (the name is slipping my mind) and they will wear out super fast. Putting a lot of metal in your oil and eventually seizing. Which means guess what? It spits a rod and things go everywhere. So basically if the engine doesn’t blow up right when it hydro locks, you should rebuild it even if it runs because most likely an internal part is damaged and will eventually fail causing it to break a whole bunch of things. Now if you just wanna hope and pray that nothing internal got messed up. I would still do the steps of changing the oil and taking out the injectors and cranking to shoot all the water out that may still be inside, no matter what you plan on doing after it hydro locks because water sitting inside your engine (where they don’t put rust preventative stuff in because it’s not suppose to have water in it) is a bad deal. This is especially important if you plan to take the hope and pray approach. Now if you talking about hydro locking any engine not just deuce engines or Diesel engines. Take the spark plugs out of a gasser instead of the injectors because it is easier when trying to get water out of the engine by cranking.

Try turning motor over BY hand backwards 2 complete revolutions. Then turn forward 3 times. Ifotor is free fire it up and drive on. Look at smoke, color will tell you what to change

Nope. A/C only became standard on military vehicles when the started slapping armor on them because you're not supposed to open the windows in a threat environment or can't open the windows at all

That would do it! I'd probably be horrified by what's been done to my truck in its past service.

Ya, like clearing LZ's through light timber and jerking on stuck APC's

That's why you drove, to stay out of the back. Ammo can on top of motor to heat c rats going down road, private with expresso maker asst driver. Only way to go

That's a good idea. I use a ton of it in the bunker as part of my fume hood air evacuation system.

That's his turbo encabulartor rod. It keeps the tremme pipe girdle spring tight under load.

thats not a good thing! lol

Have you ever driven a truck with no heat when it's below zero, I've done it a few times here In maine

@@prylosecorsomething3194 hell yeah got a flinstones isuzu pup with speed holes everywbere and no heat down by portland....no power steering keeps the blood flowing haha

Drove a semi truck with a Mr Heater.

Not if you're driving a pinzgauer!

Other than routine maintenance I've had to repair the blower motor on the heater twice. Many people think that the items listed as routine maintenance sound like mechanical problems though which include axle boot replacement, three fuel filters to keep drained of water and replace, two oil filters, oil the winch cable (if equipped), drain the water out of the air tanks every day, take care of what feels like about 700 zerk fittings, locating the correct 24v lights/making what you can find work, and the list goes on.

DEUCE AND GUNS thanks for the info and feed back sir love you videos. That's really good for no mechanical issues. I'd love to own one maybe this tax year.

A very small number of them had locking diffs for sandy conditions.

DEUCE AND GUNS thanks man. Would love to have one with lockers. Keep up the good videos man. I hope one day to find a Duece here in South Carolina

Memphis Equipment in Memphis. Tenn.

Yep , I can relate,, My driver totaled the one we were driving in Germany in 1989, hit a solid huge stone rock wall ( like a castle wall ) ! We all went to the hospital. It takes a super lot to total one of these giants. I lost pay for probably over 1/2 a year.

They hadn't hit the auctions yet and Deuces were a dime a dozen.

DEUCE AND GUNS i really liked driving the deuce rather than the LMTV. I was in for 22 years.

Hercules.

The government auctions have dried up so you'll probably be looking on Craigslist, ebay, and off-road forums.

Boyce Equipment from Ogden Utah, Memphis Equipment, Tenn., C& C Equipment in Ind. Eatern Equipment by Philly, Pa. And others not to mention many, many smaller dealers & private owners, eBay, Craig’s list, ect,,,.

It's about average for the 3-4 times per year we have any snow at all. We usually get freezing rain instead of snow.

I guess he didn’t??? Hmmm?
