Good looking truck! I know what you are talking about on the hills. Try driving those same hills with a 15k lb trailer behind it. Brought mine from central Ohio to the eastern shore of MD with a M871 trailer behind it. Many hills were 30 mph going up. I definitely see a turbo and possibly larger...

Dual antennas will make your signal directional. If you mount them one on each side, like a lot of truckers, you will get more range ahead of and behind you. However, you will loose range to both sides.

I have 3 CBs. A Galaxy DX959 in my civi pick up, but will soon go in one of my M1009s. A Cobra 148 in my 818, and the big one is my Galaxy 95T in my daily driven M1009. All of these do have SSB, and the 95T has many other capabilities. I run a 102" stainless whip antenna on a cucv mount on the...

Checked with 'RRACING' on here? I think he has the right rig to haul it, but don't know if he would do a haul that far.

And running condition unknown.

Looks like fun, and truck looks good to. I am assuming 16.00's on it? Would love to single my 818 one day.

Drove my 818 with 871 trailer 13 hours home a while back. MD will not issue a tag with out title, so I chanced it with no tags. I did however have insurance and documents to prove it. I had to stop at a number of tolls and passed by a number of officers, and nobody questioned anything. Your...

You earned the right to those numbers, no matter what truck you put them on.

We are starting at 5am. They want a full report of damages by 9am, so they know where the contractors are most needed. Sounds like they may split up our crews, and we may all be bird dogs for the contractors. Hoping I don't need the Deuce just to get to work :shock:

I have to agree. I have a 818, and compared to that my LDS powered Deuce is quite zippy :)

Welcome aboard. Say good bye to all your money and hello to all the neat toys you will be buying. There is no cure for the addiction, so don't bother trying to fight it. Look at my signature. It all started because I thought it would be neat to have a Deuce to play with and promote my gunshop.

Looking good! The 383 doesn't look much different then the forest green I used. I was worried the 383 would be brighter then that. Shame we couldn't get together this weekend at the show and shine so you could show it off.

Keep in mind fuel mileage will be less on the 5 ton, and you don't have the multifuel engine. In off roading you won't be able to go in as tight of areas as the Deuce, due to the size difference. If you get the 5 ton stuck, you now have 20k plus pounds to pull out opposed to the Deuce's 14k...

I believe it was a C.W. Wright or Asplundh crew. I my memory serves me right, the truck that actually ran away was a newer truck. I remember an investigator saying that if they had left the ignition switch on, the truck may have shut off. I don't know if that particular truck had a butterfly...

A couple of years ago there was a similar accident in Berlin MD. A utility contracting crew was changing a pole after a storm. When they augered the hole they hit a gas main. One of the trucks ran away and the engine blew, igniting the gas leak. Luckily nobody was hurt, but they did loose a...

Wouldn't run it any longer with the sloppy turbo. I it blows the oil seal the engine could run away. That would not end well for your engine.

I can't say for sure if I could do it, but sounds fun.

Wow is this thread going to be fun to watch :razz:

I placed a bid on a M35A2. The description and pictures were a rough M35A2, but the video attached showed a M923 that had the matching event and lot number on the bumper. GL sent out an email that the lot and another like it were pulled due to mistaken descriptions. I went back at the last...

I just did my M871 flat bed. Paid sales tax plus 40 bucks for two years. Overnighted application and m/o on a Monday and had my tag eight days later. I won't register any of my trailers anywhere else.
