yes, it gives you oil pressure before you start the truck. Run it for at least a minute before starting and five minutes after shutdown to prevent turbo damage. Reduces or eliminates idleing time. Check out these links:

RE: Snow Tires
Alright, now will 15.5's begin to slow you down because of size, or do they make you go faster? At some point tire size has to be too great for the torque of the engine and it will begin to slow down, but at what tire size is that? (tires size for max speed)
RE: Snow Tires
Thanks for the reply. It makes sense to use narrow tires because they can sink in and grab the solid ground underneath. But what tread type is best for grabbing the ground? It seams like a XL tire with the more aggressve treads would fair better than the XZL which has a more flat...
So which millitary tire is best in the snow? XL, XML, XZL? We get lotsa snow up here so I would like to be able to plow through snow almost to the bumper. I know chains would help, but I'm talking just the tires. Would be running super singles. Also, which tire size is best for speed? Is it...
I dunno, when I read the thread, i was thinkin that the "hauler" was some guy with a older, maybe less powerful semi truck and i was wondering exactly what one of those looked like, and then I saw the picture :shock:

RE: Re: RE: Deuce ownership?
No, thats alright. I just didn't realize that i forgot the town name. Syracuse seems like a bit far to drive, but there is one guy who lives right down the street from me- he's got a deuce, an m37, and an antique, non millitary fire truck. I'll have to go over and...
If this thread is redundant :oops: , please point me in the right direction and I will delete this one.
If not,
When you own a deuce, how much time do you spend maintaining/fixing vs. how much you get to drive the thing? Is it more a pain or a pleasure to own?
Just trying to get...
nice trucks everyone. Dan, I swear i looked through the photo area twice and did not notice that folder. Must have been distracted by the jeep w/ tires on steroids. :)
We really should have sub-forums as a way of orginizing posts on super singles, bobbing, exhaust, turbos, etc. Would be better...
Anyone have any good pics of super singled dueces?
for the record, what is the max size tire w/ singles without rubbing
and the max size without rubbing if the suspension is maxed out.
note: I DID search for "super singles" and looked though pages upon pages of posts in both the deuce hot...
How often must maintainence be performed, what needs to be done, what are some common "breakdown" scenarios, and what tools do you need if you own a deuce?
