    Bearing is stuck

    :funny: The thing about an idiot being able to follow the TM's is true. Just because they are designed for the lowest possible skill/intelligence level, does not discount their usefulness or exactness. If no one ever read them, they would not be updated umpteen times. Zeiss, I'm glad that no...

    HMMWV Brush Truck Tragedy

    Gringeltaube-- I'm not the hydraulics guru, but wouldn't you have to have more than 50psi of air to get 50 psi of water at the nozzle? As you mentioned, you may have to exceed the safe pressure rating of the tank just to operate the apparatus at a safe distance. With no danger indicators, of...

    Have you been tested?

    Is this poll an official poll? Is the poll "authorized" by the IRS? It would be a great quality control check, such as, "Hey, only 1 out of 10 of these guys who drive a nuclear-blast-hardy truck have been tested. Maybe we need to ramp up the enforcement efforts. Watch out for OD green." Maybe...

    Great experience buying rim and tire

    That's what half this site is all about--jawing about where to find parts for our trucks. If you take that part out of Steel Soldiers, you're just left with posts asking about insurance, talking about parades, and the posts telling us to use the search function. Heck, you take out the shameless...

    Plates and insurance?

    best bet would be to get advice from the seller

    WMO question

    Crazy- I think the process is a bit more finicky than you lead us to believe. How did you protect your WMO from collecting dew? Did you transfer it from the bucket to the tank via siphoning, or did you pick up the bucket and tilt? There's a reason filtering is covered with regards to WMO ad...

    Gasoline with 10% Ethanol

    The best case scenario is that the illegality varies from state to state. I've been told by my state revenue department that they will accept road taxes when someone self-reports that they've fueled a highway vehicle with untaxed/dyed fuel in error, and then qualified that statement by saying...

    Here we go again with the H.O.A

    what kind of strategy are you using against Rick & Co? Are you going to use guerilla tactics and passive aggression? Are you leaving the issue open for debate, or inviting debate? Shut this issue down in Round 1, or you're going to end up hurting yourself. Many people have suggested getting a...

    Gasoline with 10% Ethanol

    Is that comparing the price of a gallon of pure gas to the price of blended gas? Doesn't the ethanol blend contain contain less BTU's, thereby negating any price-per-gallon savings by delivering less MPG performance? I could read the study and find the answer myself, but that would take the fun...

    hydrolocked deuce engine

    Imagine that the engine stop is your "off" switch. If it's not pulled out, your engine is not set to off. Have you ever wondered why you have to turn off the accessory switch, and then pull the engine kill switch? The truck can run all day without the accessory switch turned on. You have to...

    Here we go again with the H.O.A

    you know, if there weren't any laws against owning a duece in a HOA, but people didn't like it, they would draft exactly the same fashion of letter that you got, as soon as they saw another law being infracted. You're watching the left hand talk about the commercial vehicle/rv, but the right...

    Gasoline with 10% Ethanol

    so, what would we get at the pump if there would happen to be a severe drought, and a consequent severe shortage of ethanol-producing corn? 10% sunshine?

    Here we go again with the H.O.A

    based on your letter and your picture, you are in the wrong. Move your truck over 6 inches so that it's all the way on the driveway. Advise the neighborhood Kapo that your pickup truck is now properly parked on your driveway. Also, ask him to verify the wording of the bylaw. Other THAN...Other...

    I am now an OIL BURNER!!!

    I think that a certain amount of air pressure would give you an increase in safe filter flow, somewhere between 0-5 psi, and if you crank it up to like 50 psi to really got a good flow through the filters, then you run the risk of damaging whatever filter elements you're using, and won't be...

    Battery replacement

    In my town, there's a couple of places that I can get blemish/seconds batteries (called blem batteries). One's at a salvage yard (old fart is pretty hit and miss, both in supply and memory) and the other spot is a battery/alternator/starter store, they charge a bit more but have a good...

    Deuce tow rating

    I'll be your huckleberry. If it's new, it should. A modern turbo diesel pickup has way more power than my M35A2. You step on the gas, and you get acceleration. A turbo on a multifuel engine just isn't going to match modern power when you have to slow down for a turn, and then pull a long...

    NC Weigh Station Requirements!

    Good luck bottleworks, show everyone what positive things one person can start! I'm excited to follow your progress. I'm a pretty good proofreader, so if you want to shoot off some letters to your local congressmen, I'm willing to give them a preliminary look-see for you! (Sorry, I don't have a...

    deuce smoking like a freight train

    It looks like your truck smokes less as it's coming out of a turn. I would start there...:smile:

    large hinges on bed side

    could they be for cargo straps? If the Ebay seller knew...you should ask him the question through Ebay. Maybe it's a recovery expeditor rig, for those who like to turn trucks onto their side. :-)

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I sprung another leak in my flame injector. Plugging it off sounds tempting, but it gets balls-cold here in the winter.
