if that already has a 'bama tag then you absolutely have no problems. Just make sure to get the bill of sale and RETAG it in your name at a dmv in Huntsville before you leave Bama. On the box that I am building for mine I will put a picture of it up on line by tomorrow, I think. Built my box to...

If the vehicle is sitting in alabama I can tell you from experience unless things have chhanged since I lived there that get the guy selling it to go to the DMV and register it. Over the years I have swooped into alabama usually Montogmery and picked out an address from some country road as the...

I pulled mine home from Ft. Polk with my 1985 chevy suburban. I had gone to the local parts store and bought the hitch to fit my receiver. Using a farm jack I collapsed the wheel and dolly all the way back and then lowered the trailer onto my rig. I do have air shocks but my vehicle rode level...

Many States seemly make up stuff as they go. I was surprised that here in La. if you go to the main office of the DMV in Baton Rouge you pay a one time fee and paint your VIN on the bumper. And that is it. You are registered for life. You drive the duece on a passenger car license.

Looking through the postings trying to find some kind / any kind of get together. Anyone interested in forming some kind of loose knit group for weekend get togethers? Do something with the trucks. Off road, Trail runs. Go somewhere for a meet up at a resturant? Any ideas??

Thanks for the ideas. I am building a van body onto my duece so looking at yours has given me some insight.

I had a similar problem a while back on my 18-wheeler. I was given a tip that when putting flashers and lights back together of using a little dielectic silicone. Helps keep the mositure out of the system and corrosion from setting in. When I did my system started working just fine again. Maybe...

Thanks everybody for all of your help! I found the problem when I pulled the starter out this morning. Broken starter drive! According to the rebuilder the starter apparently hit so hard that the ring holding it together inside just let go. I called one of the SS advertisers and $419.00 for a...

Thanks cattlerepairman, when I push the start button I can hear the solenoid kick in. I even jumped up on the front and turned the engine by hand a little bit thinking I might have a dead spot. It is just puzzling that the truck started great all this time and then suddenly nothing. Guess I...

I can't lose an attitude that I didn't have. The TM's do not have the type of advice that is gained from experience working on these vehicles. At the time your response came off as smart alecky. If I stepped on your toes forgive me. I don't push around easily. Never have and never will.

Congrats Heath! Good Deal! Good of you to take in the K-9 too. With my five rotties I also have ten Katrina mutts that were going to be put down. Wasn't theiir fault so I took em in. So I know what ya mean about animal people. My offer still stands, if you roll this way during the winter...

Thanks for the constructive input! Been checking all that as well! As far as those of you that pretend to read (some should learn State abbreviations) and learn the TM's by heart, they are a little daunting trying to go through them line by line looking for items. Solenoids on Chevys come off...

So I finally got my title today and slapped some insurance on the Duece. Friend stopped by and we were going to go riding. Got in and hit the starter button and the solenoid ? just makes a whirring sound without engaging the starter. Do I just pull off the solenoid or is that a starter issue...

Okay AceHigh, I thank you for that input! Wasn't sure about the series link and didn't want to burn up my new voltmeter.

Using the thread search in the TM for Duece and cannot pull up anything related to the wiring diagrams. No matter what I put in it either comes up with the first TM or says try different wording. Anyone know what the positive side of the voltmeter hooks up to? There is no wire there that could...

So today I got my voltmeter (thanks again nw42) and since all I have in the dash is a hole for one I figured a simple hook up. Problem is the only wire that is loose is all the way behind the fan blower box and is about eight or so inches too short from reaching the back of the gauge. So my...

Haven't had to do this in years. I ran a few antique cars through Alabama and don't know if they still do this. Without any paper work whatsoever, I would go to the main Motor Vehicle office in the State Capitol. There I would present a VIN tracing (done by putting a sheet of paper over the...

okay thanks for the info

As an old trucker I am familiar with flat spots on trailers that someone has hit the trailer brakes on and flat spotted the tires. I took delivery of my Duece a few days ago and yesterday I just had to take it for a lil ride of about five miles. It rode pretty good. This AM I filled all the...

Hope you can help as GL is giving me huge problems on this. Bought this Duece on 10-04-12. They think it is an Am General the only number I can come up with is the one on the frame on the driver side by the front axle. vin 034011912 they think it is an 1987 but they still haven't sent me the...
