    Deuce and a half questions about transmission

    Or learn to drive a manual? Here's my sort of for sale A2 in KS... note that it has singles.

    Long road trip, HMMWV-HMMWV towing advice

    I have no idea. Sorry. I transported my hmmwv either by driving it or transported on a heavy gooseneck trailer that I owned. One option - buy an appropriate trailer and sell it after the move. Losses would be "trailer rent" , and you might even come out ahead.

    M35A2 tires / wheel combo

    16.00s are a no go on a 6x6 deuce. 14.00s are also a no go.

    We think alike.

    I'm interested. Are you using truck horns or train horns?

    Air Horn installation on M1045A2

    Wipers are electric. There's no onboard air (until added aftermarket). Sorry, I have no idea about routing the lines...

    What does this data plate say?

    Not that I can see, but I can't read it clearly. My presumption is the odo was replaced and set to zero at rebuild , so what's on the odo is what's been put on the vehicle since overhaul.

    Happy Times From Commifornia!!

    I wonder how many engines/components are going to be ruined by people trying to save on fuel costs during this time of high prices... Even expensive fuel is cheap in comparison to a destroyed irreplaceable engine...

    Using a MEP generator to charge your EV?

    I suspect you can pull 240v 24amps continuously without issue.

    Deuce Recovery June 15-18 Augusta, GA to Austin, Texas - 1100 miles

    And a certainty of a lane for faster traffic to pass you. This prevents unsafe passes and head on collisions. I've done a bunch of this kind of thing. My opinions - Interstate preferred for the reasons listed. Daylight preferred over dark. A breakdown is much less of a big deal at 10 am...

    Using a MEP generator to charge your EV?

    While I have no idea if current EVs are capable of being charged while in motion, there's no reason you can't make one that could be. Consider though, at that point you've made a vehicle that goes down the road powered by an onboard running engine and you've put a bunch of additional crap...

    Using a MEP generator to charge your EV?

    I'm thinking this would net you the most recovered energy from the diesel fuel used. This would allow you to run the genset at >80% load while charging. There's system losses from the charging process, but these losses should be measurably less than the losses from running the genset at less...

    MEP-805b can it do single phase?

    My understanding is that using all 3 legs as 120v single phase, evenly loaded, will yield the full 15kW. Picking out 2 legs to create a 208v single phase would give you 10kW. If I'm wrong, please let me know.

    MEP-805b can it do single phase?

    Sort of... Do you need 120v single phase? If so, just split it out to 3 separate legs of 120v single phase, and load each leg more-or-less evenly. Do you need 240v single phase? If so, how sensitive is your load? Will it be happy with 208v single phase? Got more than one 240v load? Need to...

    M920 on 1600 20s GoodYear with HEMTT rims

    The 55mph limit is at full load rating. You'll probably be well under the full load rating and would have a comfortable margin above the 55mph. For maximum tire life more pressure is better, right up to the point where you start getting uneven wear towards the middle of the tread. In your...

    Frank8003 - RIP

    I only knew him on here. I consider him a friend. The reason he was selling his stuff is that he saw this coming.

    M1102 Trailer in Deuce Bed

    I've done it in an M923 bed. I believe the width is the same and the M923 is 2 feet longer. There was plenty of length to spare in the M923.

    From Montana

    The 150psi is most likely a PPV and not the governor. A trivial fix.

    Slave cable part needed

    The adapter wouldn't easily attach to a cable. It could probably be done, but not easily and the result would likely be suboptimal. The 2pin plug attaches to a cable via solder, and possibly via crimping but I haven't done it. If you can find one, that'd be a slicker setup than a single pin +...
