Kenny,
How many and how much per??
I can ALWAYS have them shipped. Yeah, I know it about doubles their costs, but hey, whatta ya gonna do?
Email me. jim
Spicergear,
I REALLY LIKE the looks of that five ton you 'squeezed' between the rails!
Plus I never understood why they ONLY put a 10,000 lb winch on the front of a truck that weighs approx 13k lbs empty...
The ONLY problem I see is that a winch off a five ton winch costs about $3k. Can...
WOOOW!
When I grow up, I want to do work THAT GOOD!! Honest, it looks excellent. Better than ANY type of paint that was EVER applied by the US Military, for sure.
WAY TO GO Warren!!
Towerguy1,
You make some very good observations. I guess I WILL rethink this. I want what's dead bang ready EVERY TIME I want to use it.
I'm still a bit 'worried' about doing the stock winch without the 'soldier B' though. Plus, a stock winch only costs about $1500, compared to Warns $3000 -...
Bjorn,
THIS has your name written ALL OVER IT. Something like 1100 liters per hour at 68 degrees F.

It's currently...
The deuce I'll be looking at this Sunday does not have a winch. While I do like the looks of the US military front winch, my understanding is it takes a 'soldier B' to operate it. While I will ALMOST ALWAYS will have 'soldier B' at my side (my wife), it will not ALWAYS be so. Having said...
And therein lies the problem...
I'm looking for one more in the $50 range. Plus, I'd like to find three of them. As long as they don't have ANY holes, I don't care about the overall condition, as long as I can 'bring them back'.
Let me know... jim
I'm going to look at a deuce near Denver (Sedalia) this Sunday. Trango has graciously offered to go with for an extra set of eyes and moral support.
Jeff, the owner, has told me that when it went through rebuild back in 1994, they set it so it was 'diesel ONLY'. I've read here where there is...
DR,
I'm looking for some extra fuel tanks. IF you happen to go and spot any there that look worthwhile, let me know. I'll contact the guy and see what I can work out.
SOMEBODY has to have them without charging me an arm or a leg...
DR,
I KNOW you gotta be busier than a one-legged butt kicker right now, but maybe a break from all that 'settling in' is exactly what you need. Of course, that gets you out of your wifes hair for one day...
So looks like it could be a win/win/win all the way around. Just glad I don't live...
Three to four hours EAST on I-10, depending on WHERE you are and what time of day (night is best) for DR to cross Houston on I-10. Might even be five hours, depending on what DR's driving.
Hope that helps.
DrFoster,
I have made an appointment to go look at Jeff's deuce for this Sunday. Trango has kindly offered to go with. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Clarks trucks are immaculate. You can't go wrong with one of his.
Dieselsmoke,
That 'fluid' all over the front tire is lube from a...
SO, I gotta ask the obvious questions.
The engine is 465 (thats cubic inches, right?). How big a turbo will it take without blowing the heads off this puppy? How much extra horsepower can be made?
Once you make all that extra HP, how much more stopping power will be needed?
Lots of ideas...
Colyork,
I called Schotts HD yesterday and they said they were NO LONGER affliated with the MV business. They gave me a cell phone number for a guy named Paul. 207-754-9868
Just in case anyone's interested.
RDD & Bomar,
Thanks for the insight. Given I live in Denver, Co having a vehicle that will 'start/run well in cold weather' IS a plus in my mind.
This just keeps gettin better and better and better...
Thx guys! jim
My last post seemed to go through just fine. I'll edit this one either way. jim

EVERY TIME I open a thread here and start reading what you folks post, I learn so much.
I didn't know the intake manifold was heated. Is there a specific reason for this? It seems counter productive to heat the intake.
But hey, what I don't know (just about deuces) could fill a LIBRARY full...
Yep - I'll post this and then edit it to make sure. jim

Yeah, I know. That why I posted the SMTP error here:

I posted the SMTP error on the last post on that thread so he could see it's not fixed yet. jim
