Since I switched from Deuces to 5 Tons I have found a problem. The insurance agencies insist on treating my truck as a "Commercial Vehicle", even though I keep insisting it never was a commercial vehicle and is now for private use! They don't care. It have it insured, but much more...

This is a strange one. My M52A2 works fine on the Left Fuel Tank, but when I turn the switch to run off of the Right Tank it does something strange: The Fuel Gauge changes over to read the fuel level in the Right Tank, but the engine continues to draw fuel from the Left Tank?? aua I bought a...

I see several companies are advertising sealant for "Tubed Tires". SLIME, etc... Has anyone tried any of this stuff in 1100x20 or larger tubed tires and any feedback on how well it works against road hazard punctures? It would be worth the money to me to have some "insurance" against...

I finally moved up from dueces and bought a 5-ton(M52A2) with 23k miles on the odometer. My son and I pulled the 5th wheel and are in the process of mounting a cargo box(shortened) onto it. :beer:

I drove my deuce about 140 miles roundtrip yesterday, and when I parked it I found that the rear wheel axle hubs were very warm. They were not "hot" and I did not think to get out my infrared temperature gauge I got for XMAS and get a good temperature reading. I don't know if this is normal...
