I need a spare for my trailer (M101A2) with 8 lug rim (I think this is also the same rim for the CUCVs). Is this a correct assumption? Anybody have one or two spare tires/wheels for sale? Please let me know. I need it NOW. Thanks. Steve

Guys, I won this trailer and genset on GL. I plan on going out (once the EUC clears) and just towing it back behind my F250. I want to get a spare wheel and tire for it before I go out there. But I don't know what type of rim or tire size to get. It looks like an 8 lug wheel but I can't...

I had to rant some--I won my first item requiring an EUC. What a %$#!? hassle! First I emailed it, after 7 days--no change (submission pending). I chat online with GL on the 8th night out--she said send it again--I did. 9th day I call--different woman says to fax it--she said emails don't...

Does it matter whether you send the EUC by FAX or electronically?

Sold my Bobbed deuce today. Sorry to see her go, but other toys await. Maybe even another deuce. Truck went to Steve in Miami.

Allan and I went over to see James' new acquisitions. James is a real nice guy--met his son too. Many of the parts on his deuces are brand new! Nice morning.

Anybody win those 5 ton tractors (XM818?) in Jax on GL? Auction ended yesterday and the prices were just $1000 one hour before close. Just curious--if I'd had the space (and the wife's permission) I would have bid. Yeah, I'm whipped!

I'm new to this beast and have an opportunity to buy one. What do I look for to make sure I'm getting a fairly good truck? Rust--of course. I understand the engine is a 318. Are the axles, transfer case and tranny rugged? Gear ratios deep? Thanks for any pointers on what to look for. Steve

I know it's a lame post, but I still enjoy the heck out driving my truck! Took it to the next city to our north on back roads, about an hour. Drove great. Such a joy to drive!

Okay, fuel is high but I like my deuce and want to keep her. How often should I drive her to keep her in working order? Is idling in the drive acceptable? If so, how long--to operating temp? Driving once a week or once a month??

Okay guys. My batts are nearly gone. If I replace my 6TLs with some from the big box mart will they last as long? Or will they have a shortened life? Just need to know if I need to invest in $400 6TLs (pair). Also, if big box mart brand replacements are okay, what specifications are...

My charging gauge is still in the green, but on the lower side (not near the tick mark anymore). Does this mean I have a battery problem or a charging problem? What TM doe I use to troublshoot this problem? Thanks. Steve

Saw these on the way to Atlanta last weekend. Now those are some serious tires!

Needed extra storage for the truck. For such a large vehicle it sure doesn't have much storage space. Anyway, I had these rocket boxes just sitting in the garage. They went on each side of the duece very nicely. They hold my chocks and some recovery gear. Cost me about $5 each. Steve

Gary, The recent request about winch operation got me to thinking. I ALWAYS have to refer to the -10 to run my winch (perpetual senior moment!). Anyway, would it be possible to print a decal that gives abbreviated winch operation instructions. The one below is a start. Perhaps others can...

I can hear my tach ticking regularly in the cab. How could I tell if it's bad or the cable? It is still working--just noisy. Anyone got a good take off tach for sale? Steve

I won an auction for a lot of tools on Friday. Was chomping at the bit to get over to get my booty all weekend. First, I took my F250 with trailer--filled both of the them on the first load. Had to go back so I took the deuce. I can't believe all the stuff I got for $480! Delta drill press...

Could someone tell me the width (outside tire to outside tire) and length (nose to rear) of the M1009? I need to see if it will fit on my trailer. thanks! Steve

Took the deuce out for a spin this afternoon and came upon a woman on the side of the road. She actually flagged me down and told me that her husband told her if she ever needed assistance, the military would help if they could. Anyway, I digress. She had a blowout and didn't have a jack and...

I repacked the bearings in my rear axle yesterday and took the truck for a spin this afternoon. Drove it for about 30 minutes at 50 mph. When I stopped I immediately checked the hubs. I could hold my hand on them only for about 4 to 5 seconds--you think they are too tight? Should I back the...
