I believe in MI. it is any "Commercial" vehicle or combination of Vehicles over 10,000Lbs. I am going to call tomorrow and check. The MDOT Regs. line is 800-682-4682. They are very helpful and answer the phone every time.
Pulled mine off by myself and almost hurt me and wrecked the top. Finally got it off so I could take the kids for a ride. We got about 3 miles from home and huge black sky came out of nowhere. We hauled A$@ to the house and ran inside before getting caught in a major storm. It stopped raining...
EUC Wait Time
I won 3 trucks in the Grayling auction. My EUC status still says, "EUC revisions needed from customer". They claim that it was sent to BC July 20th. I have called GL and spoken with several people including a manager. Now I have a manager calling me everyday letting me know that...
Go Green
I am in Howell and just bought my first Deuce, well 3. I am still waiting on them. we all need to get a Michigan Rally together. Seems all the Rallies are no where near us.
Found this gem down the road from me on a farm. Body is solid and drive train is all there. Bed has a hydraulic dump on it. Sign says it runs but needs fuel pump. I really want to buy it, but its $1000,00 firm and the wife is still getting over the fact that I am bringing 3 Deuces home from the...
M1028 Revived
I kept the 6.2 in it. The 454 was a 8MPG motor. I traded the cab to a buddy that has a tree farm and he gave me a butt load of trees for it. I have the utility body still for sale. I am putting the 2 wheel drive frame under a 1957 chevy truck I am building for the wife.
I bought...
I just bought 3 Deuces in the Grayling auction but have yet to go get them. I was curious if all Deuces are multifuel or if that was only on certain models or years. Also what can you run in them and what will hurt the engine even though it will run on it?
With spacers I'm sure you can go big. I have a 3" spacer on my 2007 and I have 285/R16s. My neighbor has 6" spacers, which I think is crazy, but he has huge tires. I'm sure some will tell you spacers are unsafe, but I have had them on several vehicles and had no problems. Can't stand empty wheel...
HMMVEES Where Are They?
I found a company called CSI that sold refurbished HUMVEEs to Blackwater. They informed me that they use to buy 200 or 300 at a time from the government to refurbish and sell, but in recent years the government has scrapped out the bad ones and refurbished and put back...
Tires
I just bought a Deuce and want to change the style of tires and wheels. Are those aftermarket, Hemmitt or what? What was the investment in changing them to single wheels?
Transfer Case
I only crawled under far enough to grab a hold and shake all the parts hanging. I was so impressed at the damage I made the wife get under and check it out. She wants to make wind chimes out of it. Thing the chain did it.
Been driving my M1009 as a daily driver. Runs 70 to 80MPH with no vibration or anything. Doing 70MPH to day and all of a sudden the transfer case grenaded. I would not be so bumbed had I been mud bogging or actually using the 4 wheel drive. Anyone else loose one like this?
I only bought 3 and will be selling one if anyone is looking for one. Paid $600.00 to $1500.00 each. Wife looked at me sideways when I told her, but shes better now.
