    Calling all out of work SS members

    Gotta give you credit for trying to think of something to make some $$$ during these hard times. How about something that would make money, be fun and safe, and politically correct for folks like wreckerman, emr, maddog etc? Why not put on an old fashioned mud bog day? Invite the deuce owners...

    Brush truck water capacity?

    SeaFire is spot on, the deuce has a load limit, mine is placarded on the dash. If you have your truck, check the placard on the dash, it will show load limits, center of gravity, etc. Max load is 10,000 for good smooth conditions. I would not go over a 1,000 gallon poly tank, by the time you add...

    Deuce Security

    I chain my steering wheel with good proof chain and a super-duper pad lock. Then I can put another super-duper padlock on my transfer case lever where it lines up in neutral with the bracket with the hole drilled to match the hole on the lever. I have thought of adding a disconnect switch to the...

    100% Deuce Noob, is GL asking for trouble?

    If you can go and preview the truck before you bid, and look it over very carefully, start it, listen to it run, and check and double check all systems, then decide what your max bid would be, and bid that price. If you get it bought- bingo! If not, you learned from the experience. And if you do...

    Good Pickup at Little Rock

    What a weak argument- "it was cheaper then putting up a shed"?? Did your wife or significant other buy that:?: Sounds like someone wanted a deuce pretty bad, and is trying to justify it by "saving money instead of building a storage shed"! Well, let me know if that argument flies, maby I can try...

    which starter relay do i need

    There is one starter relay fastened to the block above the starter. The starter solenoid is on the top of the starter. Check your starter relay first. Make sure the cables from the battery and to the starter are tight. Make sure the small wire coming from the starter button to the top of the...

    Found this picture from my travels

    Sure would like to have that little John Deere crawler! A person might even be able to sell it for the cost of flying it out on the end of a heavy line. Why is the good stuff always so far away??

    Engine data plate

    I looked at a data plate on a White multi-fuel in an M35A2 that was below the regular engine data plate. The lower plate had been added at the time of the depot rebuild, and showed that they had rebuilt the engine and bored it 10-thousandths over. Some folks say they just replace the engines...

    engine oiling problems

    Welcome to the site CBHighlander! You might have a bad sending unit for the oil pressure guage too. Cold idle on my truck is 60psi, hot idle is about 35psi. Going down the road at 50mph, tach at about 2,200rpm, it reads 60psi. Alot could depend on how many miles are on your engine, and how worn...

    multi fuel questions

    For waste motor oil you need to filter it pretty good, I have heard that you need a good filter with the same micron specs as your regular oil filter. You can use a barrel and set up your filter above the fill hole and drip your waste oil thru the filter into the barrel, make sure the barrel is...

    cold trip to get fisrt deuce!

    If your tire tread on the front tires is worn unevenly, it could be tire balance, bent rim or alignment. In cold weather the bias ply tires "take a set" and end up with one section flatter then the rest of the tire, (from where the bottom of the tire set on the ground) which leads to a very...

    sometimes will crank over sometimes wont

    There is a good chance it is your starter relay. If it gets too hot, it may be sticking. It is bolted to a bracket on the turbo side of your engine block, it is best accessed by removing the air cleaner filter housing. Or it could be your starter solenoid on top of the starter, it may get a...

    Deuce Super Camper

    Gadzooks! Some has hijacked my idea for the ultimate off-road luxury motorhome!! With my budget I will probably have to go with one of 14Zips low-buck alternatives. By the way NK14Zip, what is your Avatar?? I hope you were not in that little incident!
