I've done it before for a guy who wanted 2 more trucks like the one he bought from me and didn't want to hassle with GL.

If you hook a 21K GVWR trailer behind it then it is. I was referring to MN laws since the OP is from here.

This is not true, they look at what it is rated for by the manufacturer not what you rate it at.

I found out the hard way with a ticket, it doesn't matter how it is used if it is over 26,000 GVWR it requires a CDL. If it is for personal use you just don't need a health card or DOT number.

Yes MN does require a CDL to operate a 5 ton

Changing tires is the easy part, is there anyone who has done the spare tire mod?

Hey Glen, I sent you a pm and an email, please get back to me as soon as you can. I sure would like to head your way soon.

Personally I would never own one, unless it was going to be strictly for parades. I am storing one at my place that is not mine and they are a PIA to move around. Near impossible to back up and the only thing they would be good to haul is palletized items or something lifted in from above with a...

If you are referring to the different manufactures of the motor they are all the same, don't worry about who made it. If you can find an LDS get it! But other than that it's pretty much a personal preference of what turbo sound you like. I just noticed you aren't too far away-Welcome to the site!

The S-10 in my avatar has 2.5 ton Rockwells:D

I was at another tire shop today and he laughed when I told him I read that baby powder is abrasive. He said "do you think you would put something abrasive on your baby's a$$?! He said it is the same stuff you just pay more when you go buy "tire talc". I got home and checked the ingredients for...

That makes sense, yes it is feeble but makes more sense than some other things I have seen on the deuce. Thanks.

The Pomps tire shop by my house told me to use baby powder, they usually know what they are talking about. I also got some tire lube from them, it brushes on like a gel, not the snot-like lube that gets everywhere that some places use. It keeps the tire from adhering to the rim over time and...

I would be very interested in seeing someone put a ring back on without any force!

I've always known that but what is the reason for it?

I mount a ton of tires on deuce rims, everything from 9.00's to 395's and 14.00's. A couple things I will add is to use baby powder inside the tire to keep the tube from sticking anywhere to the inside of the tire. Also, I use a cement block inside my 5 gallon bucket for strength, after pounding...

I do have one on hand, pretty nice shape. It has a winch and good tires. I am just waiting on the title from the guy I bought it from. He bought it from GL and never titled it so he is going through the process. I will be listing it for $7000 once I get the title.

You don't use the thimbles that way, I just put the rim on first and use the thimbles to hold the tire/rim on, kind of like the way it holds the inner dual on in the stock form. Don't put the thimbles on first or you won't have the rim flush to the mounting surface.

You don't need to flip the hub, if you are using wheels/tires from an A1 or A2 truck then the rims can be run either way, dished in or out. One question I have is why can't you just run the thimble style lug nuts in the rear rather than buying 40 front style ones?

Sean just left my place, truck is running good just not producing much heat as mentioned. He is going to get back towards Minneapolis a bit and get a hotel and get on the road early in the morning.
