    6.2 dies when you let off throttle

    Yes I read all that. But I'm wondering what became of 86m1028. He was wading through several suggestions and never got back with what actually fixed his problem, if a fix was ever achieved. He did opine that the fix might be a different engine.

    6.2 dies when you let off throttle

    Thirteen years later, what was the outcome of this problem? My 90 Suburban 6.2 is doing this exact thing. I did a google search and it brought up this thread. I can't access The Truck Stop through the link and I can't find the thread on their website. Truck ran great, then it sat a couple...

    US Mail trucks

    I've read conflicting things. That they will be taken care of locally, and that the PO isn't allowed to sell anything and they will all be scrapped. That being said I have seen LLVs out in the wild so someone knew something, or someone. I don't want one to use, I just want one. Just as...

    US Mail trucks

    Hi everyone. I'm enquiring about liquidators that the government uses for the trucks and whatnot, I figure someone here would be knowledgeable and might be able to answer my question. Call me crazy, but I want an LLV. Will the Post Office be disposing of them through places like GovPlanet or...

    Hello from Georgia

    Welcome from Stockbridge. I had one of these trucks for a short time, a few years ago. Wish I wouldn't have sold it. Good luck with it they are way cool.

    Out of Round Tires

    Thanks guys. Steering has been checked and it's relatively tight. The problem didn't start until I put on the "new" tires.

    Out of Round Tires

    Hi everyone. I get a death wobble in my Deuce around 35-40 mph. Steering wheel shakes pretty hard but the truck doesn't wander. I'm suspecting it's the front tires; I bought a used pair of take-offs. They look okay but might be out of round or unbalanced. Question, can I swap the front...

    Getting GA title, insurance and registration. Easy, peazy.

    I never had any trouble registering my Deuce and a half. In fact the State of Georgia thinks it's a pickup truck.

    Need help getting a m52a2 from adell Georgia to enterprise al if anyone in the areas i listed can help me find a fair priced transport company

    Any reason you can't just drive it? Looks like about 160 miles, none of it interstate. That would be an awesome ride. I drove my Deuce and a half from Dothan to Atlanta.

    Towing an M1009 Blazer

    Thanks Barrman. And everyone. I agree it's best not to flat tow or use a dolly, but this was going to be a matter of convenience and time saving. This truck was in Charlotte, so if anyone here is who bought it, looks like you got a good one.

    Towing an M1009 Blazer

    Well thanks everyone. Truck is sold I don't even have to worry about it now. But the question was never answered. I have time to look it up in the TM now.

    Towing an M1009 Blazer

    I'll be towing with an 02 Silverado 2500HD. The big thing is what to put the truck on. As I sit here waiting for people to reply not to use the tow dolly, I've decided I'm not going to use the tow dolly and go push something off one of my trailers and just use a trailer. It will be a big...

    Towing an M1009 Blazer

    Hi everyone. This may be obvious to everyone but me so I'm going to ask. Ridicule is acceptable because I really should know this. I'm going to retrieve a CUCV Blazer about 4 hours from my house by interstate. The easiest form of transport is a tow dolly. If I tow the truck with the back...

    CA Finally found insurance for our deuce and a half

    I had State Farm for my Deuce until they changed my private passenger vehicle insurance to commercial. I said, this is a privately owned vehicle NOT being used for commerce of any kind. My agent said it doesn't matter, it's just because of the size of the truck. No thanks. Next thing you...

    XM157 DRAKE 12-Ton, 8x8, Amphibious (Bigger than a Duck)

    I believe the DRAKE, unlike the DUKW or the Super DUKW, had a tailgate that lowered for access to the bed. Don't know if it could be lowered while underway. Tried to watch the movie but it said an error occurred. I'll watch it later. Got to love the DRAKE!

    Move DUKW from Texas to Georgia

    Thanks guys. Obviously I need this to be hauled. And I agree about Clint. I've already asked him, he might be making plans to snipe me!
