    915a1 on the job (Deuce too)

    A big salute to you and all of the other farmers up there for all of your hard work producing grain for our foodstuffs (and ethanol, too!)! Go have some fun with your trucks when the harvest is done!

    Fort Sill M1009s

    Those were some of the nicest looking ones I've seen in a long time (at least the exteriors were nice) and it looked like they all had new tires. Even the non-starting trucks got way up there. It's a shame I couldn't get in on that bunch. Maybe next time.

    You're good from Cortez through Durango and onto Memphis-only a couple of long grades between Cortez and Hesperus, but there are passing lanes there so you'll be fine. Maybe someone else has experience from Ogden to Cortez. Good luck and have fun!

    And then all of the lights went out...

    Thanks for the info. Good place to start.

    And then all of the lights went out...

    Was driving my deuce around just after dark the other night, and pulled up to the red signal light at the intersection. Then all of the lights went out! Holy crap! Luckily I had my convoy light on (it's directly wired to the batteries) or someone might have hit me. Well, I decided to go ahead...

    salt lake city -> memphis, Texas

    Your indicated route is the best way to go. I used to work for AAA in the travel routing department and that's the preferred route thru that area - no nightmares, roadwise. Do NOT be tempted to go thru Grand Junction, Ouray, Silverton, and Durango. That's a suicide run for a deuce! I know...

    Delayed recovery conclusion, finally! Lessons learned...

    I used one of these to elevate the pintle so that the trailer rode higher in the front. The trailer pulled like it wasn't even there.

    Deuce in the 'burbs?

    My homeowner's association won't let me keep it long term in the subdivision, so I have it in a boat/RV storage lot nearby - only $35/month.

    How are SF-97s currently moving?

    Ordered mine 6/17 and received today, 7/13. That's 27 days.

    Do genset work?

    Also, on GL, don't forget that you want one that's 60 hz and not 400 hz. A number of people have won 400 hz units and found out they aren't good for anything but powering aircraft on the tarmac.

    Deuce Finally Painted

    Good job! Looking forward to this fall, when it'll cool down enough to repaint mine - just in time for Veteran's Day!

    Three at a time? Boy, your parts supplier is gonna LOVE you!

    Wish my deuce was like this

    Looks like smaller front tires on the firetruck. Mud not withstanding, won't having smaller diameter front tires (than the rears) cause driveline bind up?

    fried battery cable, holy c***p!

    I'm glad you got that fixed, but while you're at it you might want to check the braided ground strap(s), usually at the rear of the engine block to the frame and/or firewall, just to make sure they're good and tight. One of those often forgotten pieces of the charging system...

    battery

    For awhile now, I've been running one normal battery and one marine deep cycle with no problems.

    I'll take one! Easier parallel parking in that one!
