When filling leave the truck running. Diesel won't explode/ignite like gasoline will at atmospheric pressure so there is not worries there. To help prevent joyriders you can combat lock the passenger door, chain the steering wheel and buy a battery disconnect. The disconnect I have on my...

You're almost better off getting a trailer that would fit behind an 818 but as you said in you're post you don't have an 818. The M345 trailer that Recovry said would probably be your best bet but like he said that is still kind of tall. Depending on how big of unit you get there is the...

Rotella 15W40 with 2 QT Lucas oil treatment. So far very happy with oil pressure building and cold weather cranking.

Fired mine up for about 30 minutes yesterday to stir the oil/charge the batteries. 18 degrees out facing into the wind. Cranking w/out any starting assistance and it was trying to go but rather than cranking it until something went wrong I gave it a quick shot of either using the onboard...

Boy were these the wrong words to choose DH :roll:

Clinto, That is the thread he is referring to.

As the foreman comes up and in a very sarcastic tone says "Well there's your problem" :twisted:

That isn't good, wonder what caused that.

The parking brake is on a drum in the drive line, not at the hubs. You could have 1 of 2 things happen in the cold (note the COULD not will) 1. Parking brake cable freezes up (more common) not allowing you to either apply or release the brake 2. Condensation causes the parking brake pad...

Template Idea with the KISS method in mind. You could add a ton to it but at some point you get info that is worthless. Name and/or SS member name: Phone Number: Vehicle Type: Location: Issue with vehicle: Type of help requested:

Go to a D turbo and add the muffler if you want to quiet it down. Also people have posted about putting a "foam" insulation on the firewall of their trucks and it helps as well (no personal experience here).

Read the TM on how to back the brakes off incase you have an issue with them. They should work the same as the ones on your Deuce but better to know and not need then need and not know. I don't even know when I have my M105 behind my Deuce so like GoHot said unless you hit a pot hole you...

There was a thread last week called "Deuces in Minnesota" I believe. Quite a few of the guys who are up here chimed into that thread. Check it out.

Either.....wait a moment, thats all my truck has so I'm partial to it I guess :roll: Diesels may "hate" either but as long as the injection system is working properly on a Deuce you shouldn't do any damage to the engine when using it (Disclaimer....previous statement does not include...

Maybe he's tired of looking at the tailgate. Offer to turn it around for them and see if that changes their tune. Better yet, park it at my house :twisted:

Did he blow a few blood vessels in his forehead when you said that to him Soni?

Does Gimp's wrecker have a MF or a Cummins?

Good looking truck. Did you do the interior as well and if so can you post some pictures of it as well? I personally like the black rims over any other color but either way it will look good.

Its unfortunate that these ladies have nothing to look forwared to when retiring except destrucion or rusting away.

I see nothing wrong with that card Stalwart :-D
