One thing I might add about the waste engine oil is that the quality and consistency can vary widely from supply to supply, and then it may even vary on quality each time from the same supplier. Seems like places that have a used oil storage tank tend to have many products dumped in...

The only real problem with this truck is the estrogen factor. It appears that money, time, and permission is being divested due to its presence. Owning a very large impractical vehicle will cure the estrogen poisoning that is happening in your life. That might be why I got into the military...

A local biodiesel plant put their first official batch in a Jeep liberty diesel B100. Didn't make it out of the parking lot. While the specs pass as #2 diesel, many of these modern diesel engines have viscosity sensors/fuel burn sensors that can tell when something other than #2 is being used...

Something that works great on organic odors is some sort of a cleaner/deodorizer that has a bacterial or enzyme in it. You might try a janitorial supply company. One product that I have used is from Spartan Chemical called consume. I may have a bottle or two around here I can give you.

A trip from Iowa in the deuce would be kind of exhausting and time consuming, yet fun if there were enough people along the way to convoy with.

Hopefully some year I won't be tied up with a mv gathering at the same time and will be able to venture across the state to yours.

I remember seeing them advertised in the back of farm magazines in the 70's and early 80's (prior to the 3 and 4 wheel atvs). Didn't realize they were still around. Glad to see that the company is still producing a product and there is still a market for them.

Sounds like you should have remained single.

Last week, I could have used that rig to set up a radio tower at my place. This truck is on my list of one to find and purchase some day. You can always have an M35A2, but you aren't always going to have an M756A2.

This is one of the best threads for someone looking to get one. Helpful instead of telling someone to go download a tech manual and read previous forums. A few additional things I would add to the list: Have you ever operated a truck larger than a 1 ton pick up or U-Haul? Even though a...

My dad said he loves the sound of my whistler. Reminds him of the first diesel tractors in the 1960's when everyone starting slapping M&W turbos on them. One guy told me to never change the turbo on my truck because he said it reminded him of the days when he was in the military. Said that...

Might be kind of fun. Long run in the deuce from SE Iowa to St. Louis.

Regarding exhaust exiting at the rear of the vehicle, wonder how that would work if one was operating an aircraft refueler? Most of the ones I've seen have the exhaust right behind the front bumper.

I wanted to thank Patracy for making one big change on here a while back. It was the new rule about not just saying " go use the search function" and " read the tech manual" but explain a bit of what to search for, or where to find it in the tech manual. It seems like it has led to a more...

Gotcha. Had my CDL since 1998 and forgot about them having the learner's permit.
