i bought one of these hurricane flood trucks. engine was still full of salt water, completely locked up and beyond resonable repair. would not recommend buying this truck for the engine or with any hopes of getting it to run. i was able to salvage plenty of useable parts off mine that did...
never driven it nonstop for more than a few (5 or less) miles. have never had any problems with it getting hot. i think if everything is in correct working order it should release just like a normal disc brake. may get hot simply due to the fact that it is spinning alot faster than a wheel...
i run the usa 6x6 pinion brakes on my rockwell'ed suburban with great satisfaction. they will stop the 46" goodyears weighing in at 342# each (withwheel and beadlock) fast enough to throw you thru the windshield. and thats with near zero effort at the pedal. there is also a kit for about $145...
would drop the pan and check bearings for my own peace of mind regardless of what analysis says. i had catastrophic rod bearing failure in the original engine in my truck. now i know why GL auctioned off such a clean truck! the engine swap was less than a one day ordeal, but it cost me...
RE: Re: RE: Singles complete on my Deuce.
doesn't feel too bad but gets kinda nerve racking in narrow lanes, construction, and traffic. get alot of looks when passing people on freeway. can't hear myself think when its wound up, got alot better since the hard top install. tried to put a radio...
RE: Re: RE: Singles complete on my Deuce.
all of the tires i have for sale (approx 30) are still mounted on the wheels. some are near 100% tread. changed my truck to singles a while back. was not having alot of fun flipping the hubs in the rain. was too impatient to wait a few days. got a...
i must say that assembling the wheels is a pain to say the least. after starting all 36 of the bolts and locknuts by hand i just used an impact to tighten them. each setup took about 30 mins. to assemble after i learned what i was doing. i would rather work with these than fight a split rim...
you can order 20x10 double beadlock wheels from usa6x6. i run them on one of my dueces and my suburban along with 395/85r20's with no tubes or balance issues. see mine at mucekokoffroad.com
i would drive it myself if i were you too. nothing will make you appreciate air conditioning, a radio, and power steering more than a 1300 mile road trip in 13000lbs of iron...but its all worth it to be driving the coolest truck on the road.
hey yall! yeah, that speaker looking thing has the horn behind it, i had never seen one with an electric horn until i got my last one home last saturday. then i noticed my m109 had one too. the wheels did come from usa 6x6, i run them on my suburban too. have been really happy with them...
wanted to say hello to everyone here, and introduce myself. new to this site, fairly new to the mv scene. just took delivery of my 7th duece! got into these things while building a suburban with the rockwells. no worries, i didn't cannibalize any good trucks to bulld the 'burban. have been...
i let truck run for about 5 mins at full throttle, was sure it was running wide open b/c of the fuel down the intake. however it never cleared up. almost hoped it would blow up so i would have a reason to give up on it...
Just took delivery of duece #7 and am having some trouble getting it to run. this is supposedly a 1969 model, with the NA multifuel. was not getting fuel to the injectors, so i swapped the injection pump. timed pump according to some instructions i found in an old post, but truck is hard to...
