Think I could put a snorkel kit on one and drive it home?

I must be missing something. Where does one find a Norwegian deuce?

Yes, LDS was what I meant. Thanks for the info. If it will keep the exhaust temp down I will look toward the LDT turbo. I was thinking they had no benefit to the engine other than making the exhaust look better.

I'd buy a 5-ton in a heartbeat if registration wasn't such a hassle. I've looked into it and it appears in NC i would have to register it as a commercial truck, get a class B (I think) CDL and keep a log. At least, that's how I read it. If anybody is running a 5-ton privately in NC I'd like very...

No stumps, I'd use the winch more for pulling them in the right direction as we're cutting them and then drag the trunks with the truck. I do it now with my F-250 but could use a little more weight for the bigger trees. We cut 8 or 10 a year for firewood and I have some shooting lanes to clear.

Other than having one less moving part, no reason for the smoke really, except for looks. I wouldn't turn down a good deal on an LDT if it came along. As far as "turning up the fuel", will you get about the same response out of an LD and LDT or is there more power to be had with the LDT (is the...

There will definitely be a winch one way or another. I'd prefer to buy one with a working winch, but if I found the right deal on a nice WO/W I would add either an original or aftermarket electric winch later. One of the main jobs for the truck will be pulling trees so a winch will help a lot...

Thanks ATPTac. I might take you up on that. I'm stuck at work offshore right now but I'll be back in a few weeks. I'd like to look at yours before I pull the trigger on one.

Does the turbo make a noticeable difference in power? I was under the impression from reading some other threads on here that the only purpose of the turbo on the LDT engine was to clean up the exhaust smoke and that the only turbo that added performance was on the LDH engines. If it makes more...

Thanks for the replies everybody. I'll look towards the multi fuel. I like that factor as I have some good sources of used oil. Probably a stupid reason, but mostly for the smoke factor, that and I prefer as few moving parts as possible. How reliable are the turbo engines, and what is the...

Hey guys, I'm still on a quest for a good deal on a first deuce. I've been looking for about a year and just barely missed a few nice ones. Now I'm looking at 3 that seem to be pretty good deals, an M35A1, an M35A2 and an M211 gasser. I haven't been to look over any of them yet. I'm awaiting...
