May be too far away for you (GA), but I have a set you can have...

Good Ol' Joe...he has taken care of more than one of us!!

Hey Robert, if you solve that power divider problem, I can help you recover some of your cost by being a customer for a such a setup. I have a power divider (of course we call it a differ. lockout) on a civilian dump and it is a great help in the mud and then hiway....

I ,too, am confused by the "offroad only" representation and 97 form. That vehicle would be street legal in GA and because of it's age, the 97 form is sufficient for obtaining a tag and insurance. I am sure it could vary from state to state. Would not stop me from buying one. BTW, I don't...

I know alot of guys who say they do better on the price at government auction; but if that is the truck you want and it is nearby then I say go for it. To be able to pick out the truck from such a large selection would make the difference in the price worth it to me... You can pay less and take...

How, pray tell, did you get stuck at a truck stop? :confused: How did you get unstuck? This one we have to hear!!

Yup....hard target...your dad is a brave man....I would only take that pic with a telescoptic lens! Would be a dream come true for some German or Jap pilot!! :p

I am not a diesel mechanic, but have some long term experience with deuces; my father used them in the 60's and 70's for logging and the engines held up in a fashion similiar to any other diesel. The biggest problem we had was with the sprag front ends.

Hey Ken: Thanks for the advice; I had heard the Selectros were not watertight, so I have avoided wading the deuce! Actually, in my type of construction, I don't have the issue of water crossings. However, if I did recreational offroading then I would consider it a drawback. Keep us informed...

M1075, thanks for the post! It truly clear up some misconceptions I had about tire mounts.... Painkiller, hope this helped...JR

Glad to hear it was no more serious than a battery; good reason to upgrade to the optimas. Keep us informed on how the optimas perform, I have heard both good and bad stories when used in commercial or heavy load applications.

Unfortunately my response won't help answer your question. What tires fit the stock rims; what tires work best as singles; what are the options for duals other than 9:00x20's? The tire questions are the most confusing to me. I know this issue has been addressed in several different ways in...

Spicergear: I agree. I would not want to have a detroit in the front without selectros. Still think air lockers would be perfect for our trucks; they work great on smaller apps.

Whoa! Lots of questions and info...but I like it [^] Robert: Have a airshift front axle, but still have to rock the truck on occasion to be able to unlock selectros(even after disengaging airshift). However, I put this truck in some serious binds by climbing up a steep grade with 10k# in...

I agree with the colonel; you probably burned up a battery which is the lesser of the evils. Can you jump start it? :confused: Recommend getting a cheap battery tester and checking the cells before ordering expensive parts..

Mine is a D model and seems to like 2000 to 2250. Anything less than 2000 rpm feels like lugging. Also have to press engine to maintain anything above 2400.

Hey Robert: Think I would have to jack up the rear to unlock because of the tension? If this is the case, then wouldn't I have a similiar issue when I unlock at least one of the selectros on the front? As a fact, I have had to move the truck backwards or forwards on occasion to take tension...

Thanks Ironhorse; I have always been a fan of amsoil. I will email for prices....

Addendum to post: If I only need one double splined axle($163.00), one spool($275.00), and one selectro($300.00, hope to sell the other), then I would have a rear setup with a locker for 1K.... Not a bad deal when compared to detroit locker which do not provide advantage of disengaging the rear...

OK fellas, put your tech hats on and pitch in......... If I bought a spool from Ouverson and installed in rear tandem; installed double splined rear axle and a lockout hub; then would I have a rear end that I could disengage a rear drive axle for the road and then engage a locked rear drive...
