    Deuce Receiver Hitch & Singles

    Farmun, I'm going to go with something similar soon to pull my 16' utility trailer. My plan for the lights will be to convert the trailer to LEDs. I just picked up a set of LEDs from Harbor Freight for like $35. Although they are marked 12V they also work on 24V. I have confirmed this...

    Napa muffler that will really quiet the truck down?

    Mine is a C turbo and I used the Dynomax 24216 also. I have no official readings on decibels. However, I know that while operating at highway speeds, I went from screaming at the top of my lungs to halfway comunicate with the co-driver, to where now I can do it with just a loud voice. At...

    What do you to cap your Deuce exhaust stack with?

    I like the owl idea also! I have a male Cardinal that likes to use my mirrors for his LP/OP, while looking at for momma on the nest. This is okay but he craps all over my truck! I may have to introduce him to Mr. Owl!!:twisted: Thanks for the post!

    Dump truck tailgate tricks???

    One picture of the tailgate up or what I call "Normal". The other is in the "Rocker" position, using the "wings". For the "Spreader" position, it is in the up or normal position but when you open it at the bottom it is limited by the chain to your desired amount. Man Westfolk is quik on...

    You don't need no stinking horn!! You've gotta get that steering fixed first so you can drag it back home! :-D:-D My 817 is near Ft. Smith, at my dad's farm. I hope to get back down there to do some things to it. Still waiting on tricks to put the tailgate up. Guess we'll use his loader...

    Dump truck tailgate tricks???

    After I got my M817 home, my dad and I was just standing around looking at it and wondered. How to you get the tailgate from the "rocker" mode to the "normal" swing open mode? I'm not talking about, pull the pins, push up the gate, and put in pins. :-D How did soldiers in the field do it...

    Current draw with vehicle off

    Both of my M35s create a small arc when you attached the dog bone. I was told when I searched it on here sometime ago that it was something in the generator (diode or something) and normal. My trucks have new 6tls in them and have set up to a month so far with no problems starting. We'll see...
