    Just got a ticket need help!

    IIRC, In NC, an antique plate doesn't exempt you from anything like it does in other states. You have to have a weighted plate of 14K (or more) if you are registering an M35 in NC (and be legal). KI4GSN, don't forget that you can get a non-commercial Class B for 26K+.

    Just got a ticket need help!

    I hate the DMV. :evil: Here is a link to the NC title manual. http://www.ncdot.org/dmv/vehicle_services/registrationtitling/titlemanual/download/NCTitleManual.pdf The exceptions that I thought I remembered is limited. It looks like a Deuce will have to be reclassified as an RV to be...

    Just got a ticket need help!

    They used to put the 3 axle warning on all NC registrations for some time. They stopped... I asked about the fuel decal on here when they first starting doing that. No one knew. I kinda gave up on researching those decals. I will give it another go. I do seem to remember that whose...

    Multi-fuel governor drift

    :cookoo: Part of your problem is that your abusing your engine. Devilman96 used to have a signature that fits this situation.

    M35A2 Dot 3 Brake Fluid?

    Exactly. And then when your brakes warm up, that water boils and you loose your brakes completely. They designed DOT 3 to absorb water to help prevent these dangerous situations. DOT 3/4 is the way to go.

    Practical uses for a Deuce

    I hope your son is using a battery equalizer or an aux 12V alternator. Otherwise he is causing battery damage.

    m35a2 parts running out!!!!!!!!!

    I don't know where you got China from. Here's a quote from their web site: "...state-of-the-art factories throughout North America and Europe for the manufacture of NewStar Components." Many of the surplus dealers you and I buy from sell new star parts. They are well made. They have...

    Spinner II Centrifugal Oil Bypass Filter

    Those work great. I have seen one rotor pulled out a bus with about 1/4" of sludge/soot captured. Detroit Diesel 50 series...Dirty engine. I also use a Spinner II for my UMO filtering. Also works great for that. Good Luck!

    Stock Deuce..Anyone haul a 12k load on regular basis?

    This topic has been brought up a lot in the past. It seems some feel that if you put anything more then a tea cup in the back, you would be better off with a 5 ton. If you feel that your brakes are weak, get off the road. Loaded or unloaded! The truck is officially rated at 10K. You...

    compressor wrench size

    Here is a PDF of the wrench. I believe it is to scale and should be traceable on to some plate steel. Edit: You already have that one...Nevermind. :)

    Flasher Protector

    I believe his does remove the load off the flasher. The flasher controls the coil of the relay. The relay handles the load. Assuming this is the same setup as Bjorn did earlier. IMHO, it's another "must do" modification.

    Brush truck water capacity?

    That's only 12,517.5 Lbs of water plus the weight of the tank. The Army under rated these trucks. And I'm sure they did that for people like me. :twisted: Do you really think the stock winch is a 10,000 Lbs winch?

    I google search found: http://www.siliconehose.com/ They might be able to help you.

    Coolant Hoses

    The best hose? If you have the money, get silicone heater hose. They won't break down due to age like normal hose. But they are quite a bit of money.

    Brush truck water capacity?

    2cents The most I have hauled in the back of my truck was 7 tons. That's on road, up to 45 MPH. The truck was fine, but I wouldn't want to go much past the 7 ton mark on road. So, that would be about equivalent to 1700 Gal of water. Now at low speed and off road? Maybe a tad more?
