Stuart,

Any chance you can get pics of that trailer???? That dump is definatly worth saving!!
Hippie, I think there out west.............there are plenty of them here in NewEngland. There was one on ebay here in VT not long ago, it went cheap. I will keep an eye out for you.
I have the long one on my Mutt and I cant tighten it down to lock it from spinning. I will look at it again tomorrow to see if i need a shorter one, then this one will need to go! BTW its NOS
Reason I asked about the Gun Trucks is because I am a Vietnam War Historian and tho I read about everything, I do research on Trans units Vietnam. Most of my MV truck collection is based on the 8th GP.

Nobody answered a question of yours................. Running it over 50 is fine. I would run my on the interstate between 2300 and 2500 all the time and never had a problem. Your oil pressure is right were it needs to be so everyone else is right about a fuel knock or the compressor. Now...
I can add to this so maybe you guys can understand where that report came from. I have a copy of that report and many other reports from Line Haul units in Vietnam. These reports were info that was put together because of the issues with the Multi-fuel engine in Vietnam. I have...
Wow i phrased that badly. What DD posted above is right. With my deuces, all 3 had the compensator still installed. I often considered taking them out myself since thats all I ran was diesel. I made sure that when I checked and changed the oil that it looked ok.
Govt came out and took the density compensators off the pump. they would then stick a decal on the motor saying diesel fuel only. so no there is nothing wrong if your going to run just diesel, just no car gas like a true multifuel. it just does not have the option any more.
