I think maby it is just called a starter relay, the solenoid is on top of the starter. Mine went bad, I had a thread going a while back titled something like- "starting problems, starter relay?" and I posted some pics on there. Don't know the specs per se, but I would think any 24 volt starter...

Here is one that is available in SE Oregon that is a 1945 model. It has had the frame lengthened so it could have a agricultural bin-type box put on it for hauling sugar beets. The engine had been replaced with a GMC 6-cylinder which bit the dust in about '97 and has been sitting ever since. I...

Wreckerman, what about the Acetone additive???:-D:-D:-D

Welcome Hauke! When you can, post some pictures of your truck and your other military vehicle so we can see them. You will enjoy this website, it has alot of good information and technical advice that we all can use!

You might have to put LED light bulbs in your trailer if it is a civilian model, otherwise you will blow out the 12 volt bulbs when you hook up to your truck. Does your trailer have air brakes? If not, and they are electric, then you can run an 12 volt electric brake controller off of the front...

Give Carnac the info you have, and he can give you the manufactured date, etc.

During the early '70's I was in Milwaukee for a summer's work, and had an older friend who was a German mechanic. He had a carb he had built for his '66 Ford Ranchero 6-cylinder shop truck. It was crude, it heated the fuel before it went raw into the intake, so it was delivering vapors instead...

Getting one with power steering would make it much nicer to back a trailer up with the deuce in a tight place. Filter well your used waste motor oil, and mix it with your diesel or 50/50 with gas and then add to your diesel for a cheaper source of fuel. You can add a muffler in the exhaust pipe...

You will know right away when you drive it if it's a "whistler". Welcome to the hobby!

The same one that was on Craig's List-Boise is now on EbayMotors under military vehicles. The description says it has a 6-cylinder.

I drive the same 200 mile route each time, same hills and mountain passes, same weather most of the time. I set the cruise control to the same speed, I run the same weight, empty or loaded. I wanted to factor out expermenter bias, the only factor I had no control over was headwind vs tailwind. I...

Ok, it may be BS, or it may be something else, but have you tried it to see for yourself?? Talk is cheap, real results from real trials is what I am wondering about. The numbers don't lie for my friend who averages about 25,000 miles per month using it. And he was very VERY sceptical at first...

There is one on Craig's List-Boise right now, that appears to be a civi model of the one shown.

Big John, if you are going to do an auto tranny swap sometime, how about going whole hog (since it looks like that is the direction you are headed anyway) and swap in a Cummins 5.9 or 6.7 with the HD 6-spd double OD auto trans that comes behind the '07 and newer 6.7 Cummins? I sure wish someone...

A few months ago a friend sent me info on a website that talked about the benefits, advantages, and "be carefuls" regarding Acetone as a diesel fuel additive for better MPG. (Sorry, I don't remember exactly what the website address is, I think it was a scholarly/government type site) At the time...

If you can deal with a little corrosion, then I know where there are lots of WWII trucks and planes, tanks and jeeps just waiting for your touch. Oh, you do have to drag them out of about 6,000 feet of saltwater. My dad was a navy guy during WWII, and after the war they took barge loads of used...

I vote- Tow me the money!

Hey Deuce- I'm glad it helped!!

Make sure your tow rig and trailer are up to towing such weight. In some states you haveto go accross the scales if you weigh over a certain amount. I have an '07 Dodge 4X4 diesel 1-ton dually reg cab with a 12-ft flatbed and a couple of toolboxes. I weigh right at 10,000 lbs empty. My 5th-wheel...

Main thing is- do they run ok? Hopefully no mechanical issues that aren't easy to fix, like bad batteries, brake bleeding, etc. If you get it, you will have to fill us in a little more on what you got, mileage, pictures, the trip to get it, etc.
