    Added Convoy Lights to the Deuce

    If I'm doing any serious highway driving I take my tarp off. No reason to beat it to death driving down the highway if I don't need to. If the lights are covered by it oh well. I set the height as close as I could to the top of the exhaust stack so that if I have to haul it on a semi again...

    Added Convoy Lights to the Deuce

    Last weekend I went down to my deuce and put on a set of convoy lights. I got a set of the military issue spin lights and the rest of my work was all fab work. Poles were made of 2" x 60" tubing with an 8" disc welded to the top, with this setup being non-adjustable unlike the "stock" setup. I...

    How to Paint your Rims and not your Tires

    Black tire, black paint....I'm not seeing an issue. Just be careful around the edge and you should have so little overspray that is won't be noticed. If anything you have a little extra UV protection at the bead.

    "Frozen North" Rally 2012 - Minnesota

    Greg has a fart box on a M200 (I believe that is correct) so he just needs power so he stays nice and toasty.

    Bio Diesel.....?

    Get a higher percentage mix, you won't like it.

    Bio Diesel.....?

    Totally agree Ferro

    Bio Diesel.....?

    Bio-diesel does not get the same power output as regular diesel. Several states mandate that there is a certain percentage mix of bio-diesel in everything. Worked out well for the Minneapolis bus system several years ago when it was dictated a 20% mix in -30 weather.....every bus gelled up and...

    Flex fuel in a multi-Fuel...?

    If I remember correctly per the TM gas is to not be used as a daily fuel source even though it is a multi-fuel. Gas was supposed to be an option if regular diesel wasn't available. You are supposed to keep it blended due to no lubrication in gas like Gimp pointed out. Also remember that E85...

    Poping sound when turning

    Mine will make a popping noise when I have a big load on it, but I think its just the bed shifting on the frame. Sounds like you might have something mechanical that needs to be investigated if its coming from the front end.

    E-Brake works once

    I added a second nut to mine like what DH said as it was doing the same thing.

    1992 D7H Cat Dozer inspection needed at Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow CA.

    What would be the major differences between the D7 coming from the Marines and a civi one? Color but other than that nothing looks special on that dozer. Color isn't worth that kind of money.

    M816 Engine Puller

    Hey, if we pulled the power pack out of a M60A3 with a M816 it had better be able to lift that small kitty CAT out of a truck. If not, you need to scrap it.....to my ownership :-P

    different colored diesel and low sulfur fuel

    I run ATF in my system all the time and have never had an issue. My guess is your system was very dirty in the first place. My dad runs ATF in his OTR truck and has no issues with his filter as well.

    different colored diesel and low sulfur fuel

    The ULSD is crap in my opinion. I'm not sure what the difference is between the blue vs. yellow fuel but all of the OTR fuel I've seen is yellow. Definately do not put the red fuel in your OTR truck, if you get your tank dipped you'll be in a world of trouble.
