Based on others' experiences picking up trucks from GL, I'd say you almost 100% want to drive up with a car full of tools, parts, and fluids; or, pay someone to recover the truck from the lot for you and get it into driving condition so you can fly up and hop in. I've had my truck for a year...

Try some of the purple industrial degreaser. It worked pretty well on my truck.

I think what you are looking for is on the home page of G741.org (or is linked to from their home page)

Just a heads up that the post you are responding to is roughly 5ish years old...

if you search for a thread called "primer on tire upgrades" or something like that, you'll find a lot of good info (I think the deuce modding section)

I don't think it is possible to drive a 10 ton regularly... just saying.

The old PWs are the best. You'll have fun with this one.

Many of the center-cab GE 44-tonners were made in narrow gauge (metre gauge I believe) with low clearance setups exclusively for switching operations in Europe... see wikipedia under "GE 44-tonner"

These trucks are pretty dang near unstoppable...

Check out JATonka's website for all the CUCV manuals. One (I'm thinking the -20) has a good troubleshooting section that should help you with your transmission question. It should also have wiring diagrams which will help you with your glowplug woes. Have fun!

Take pictures of EVERYTHING as you take it apart! Looking forward to watching this.

Here's a quick intro to PWs, with some links to further reading: Power Wagon Page Intro

VERY collectible. Almost identical drivetrain to the M37, just 12V. I'd kill to have one of these-they are great looking trucks. Post it over on powerwagonadvertiser.com ... they'll snap it right up.

That's one hot looking blazer you got going there!

The driver side glad-hand is for service brakes, so air will only come out when you push the brake pedal... if your brakes were locked but no air was coming out, this tells you that it probably isn't your air pack. The red, passenger-side glad-hand is the emergency one, and always has air...

I would do some searching... try things like "sprag," "sprage", "sprague," etc... to cover all the different ways that we misspell it. I feel like there have been some good posts on the sprag transfer case before, but I'm not sure whether they were in the deuce section, or the 5-ton section...

When the rear end starts to slip, the transfer case automatically engages the front end. I'm not an expert though. Some folks on here have much more Sprag experience--hopefully they will chime in. Do the latest TMs cover trucks without airshift transfer cases?

The multifuel growl with the stock spicer transmission: ain't nobody gonna call an A2 no stinkin' schoolbus!

I guarantee you there's a part number in the -20P parts manual...

You should find the book "THUNDERBOLT." It's by Robert Johnson, one of the leading P47 fighter pilots in WWII, who flew in the 56th Fighter Group--Zemke's Wolfpack--with Gabby Gabreski, the leading ace in the 8th AAF. My neighbor--who was a Jug crew chief in the 56th, recommended it to my dad...
