    Posting to Classifieds trouble

    I can reply to an ad but it just won't let me create a new one. Maybe it's my computer?

    Posting to Classifieds trouble

    I have never had any problems posting to the classifieds until today, I type up my ad, added pics and when I submit new ad it goes to the screen where I can usually see my new ad but there is nothing there. It's not telling me I don't have privileges it's just blank. I checked my premium...

    WI to MN M915 recovery question

    I agree with the laws not being fair, you can be a 90 year old senile old man and go buy a $300k motor home and as long as you have a valid class D license you can go drive it with no special training or license. Doesn't make much sense. Personally I think if you are using a truck for...

    WI to MN M915 recovery question

    Not sure about Maine but in most states (including MN) you need a CDL if the vehicle or combination is over 26,000 Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, not just what the vehicle weighs. When I drive my 3/4 ton truck with a 21K gooseneck trailer I need a class A license whether I'm empty or loaded. Not...

    Have you been tested?

    A guy who bought a deuce from me a while ago was going to get checked by a LEO but the cop didn't realize that the screen came out of the tank and couldn't test him. Luckily he had less than a half a tank because he was running offroad!

    Who Bought Those Oshkosh MK-48s???

    Hey Pete, if you need a place to hide it you can park it here for a while! Got any pics from GL of the rig?

    What is better (oil or trans fluid)

    It would be nice if there was a way to flush the tranny. When I change the fluid on my civy trucks I take them to a local 4x4 shop and they hook it up to a machine that circulates the old fluid out, then runs a cleaner through, then the new tranny fluid. I would have to imagine that that process...

    I think they are saying the same thing, battery switch is shut off last.

    Baffled by Brakes

    Well I am thoroughly impressed, I rigged up a power bleeder and it worked after the first try! All my life I have been able to bleed brakes either by gravity or with another person pressing the pedal but this truck ended that streak. The power bleeder is the way to go!

    Baffled by Brakes

    I have read a bunch of threads about the deuce brake system but my situation is rather odd. I have a deuce that had perfectly working brakes but the brake lights didn't work. I replaced the sensor that activates the brakes (it's the type that screws into the front of the air pack) and in doing...

    Mn guys dmv ****.... Help

    I would just tell them you decided to sell the truck and demand all your paperwork back (sf-97) and take it to the White Bear DMV. I would also pay the extra $20 and 'fasttrack" it and you will have a title in 2-3 days.

    395/85/20 do they rub

    I think it depends which rims you use also, if you go with stock deuce rims they will rub on the steering drag link at full right turns. I have mine on modified HEMTT rims and have not got them to rub anywhere. I think A3 rims work just as good also.

    Ouverson axle shaft but no thrust washer?

    I ran the stock replacements in my mud truck the first year and just put them in as is, no need to add a washer. IIRC the yoke portion is a little longer so it ends where the washer would be on a stock shaft.

    M817

    FYI the transfer case engages automatically to drive the front axle on these 5 tons, you probably wouldn't even have noticed it if it is working properly.
