    BRUSH GAURD?

    Yep, it's a Freightshaker cattle bar. It fits the Freightliner day cabs the military bought and is still buying. Rugged as all get go, but not for a Deuce or Five Ton. They are worth big $$$$ in the right market. Advertise in a truck stop like Flying J or Pilot and you'll see what I mean...

    Oops, tank fell over!

    I guess it goes to show tanks can't go everywhere or run over everything! How much you want to bet the crew had to change their shorts after that<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_rotfl.gif" alt="ROTFL"><img src="emoticons/icon_smile_lol.gif" alt="LOL">?

    m35a2 questions/repower

    It looks like the DT 466 is electronic from what I read. Is that incorrect? Does it need a computer brain?

    $29,000 Deuce?

    Robert, Nah, everyone always has a spare 30k in the bank. Don't you<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_wink.gif" alt="Wink">? It is just a wee might expensive. Maybe if it had A/C, P/S, leather interior and so on....

    Pulling the buggy

    Trango, OMG<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_rotfl.gif" alt="ROTFL">! That's outrageous! I can't wait to see more pics! That's way too cool to just be sitting around. It's begging to squish a H2 or something!

    was "deuce T/C ?s" nowRear Lockout and Axle Design

    Robert, I don't mind having to back off the pressure to unlock the hub. You're right, 95% of the time she'll be unlocked anyway. About the only time I'll lock her down is in snow or mud or snowy mud (the worst). Once I'm on solid ground I don't mind backing up an inch or two to unlock the...

    Deuce Weight Questions - DMV-oriented

    Opie, I have 'Storm plated at #26,000 in Indiana. No CDL required due to weight and air over hydraulic brakes. The tongue weight would in theory put it over 26k. However, in Indiana, if a full trailer, not a semi, is being pulled with fully operational brakes on all axles the trailer is...

    Lee, We're working on it. As soon as Robert lets me know when to drive on down, I'm dropping off 'Storm for her fitting. I'm looking to improve fuel economy on her and have the added option of a lockout on the drives. We'll see how it goes.

    Robert, Let me know when you want 'Storm there and I'll begin to make arrangements.

    was "deuce T/C ?s" nowRear Lockout and Axle Design

    Robert, My intention is to make her a road truck. I used to live in Snellville, GA. I'm very familiar with the trip and 'Storm has travelled much further than Carrollton without a hint of problems. She's definitely road worthy. If you want to split fuel costs I'll definitely include the 10kw...

    Robert, How about my truck? I'm sure we could barter on modifications. I'm even willing to talk about a nice genset (10kw).

    Turning up the power on a Deuce

    SG, Not really. I'd do it myself if I had a turbo boost and pyrometer. My problem is all my money right now is in my Masters degree (I start teaching first graders for real on Tuesday). Once I get some real cash flow going I'm looking to aquire these things and asking some serious questions...

    More of Brads M35A2C

    Brad, Thank God having fun like that isn't illegal! I get a big thrill from driving 'Storm whenever I can afford the fuel. In all reality, even though I hate snow, I need another blizzard to get some more semis out of ditches and get more free diesel!

    SG, How much? It looks awesome just sitting there (yeah I'm sure that really helped<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_wink.gif" alt="Wink">). Looks like a mulitfuel, not the 250 Cummins though.

    m35a2 diesel only?? is it worth it??

    Westech, I'm ASE certified too. However, the tolerances on the injector pump are so tight I recommend using a diesel injector shop. They have the know-how to do it right the first time. All it takes on these pumps is a microscopic piece of dust to ruin them beyond repair. I know because this...
