a few people have LDS's in their deuces , done by a PO or themselves.. i don't have any spare lines for the LDT's , sorry

i might be able to help you if it's not been robebd off the parts truck and yours is indeed a LDS (your title line says LDT)

haha it sure seems that way at times, especially on muddy ground .. But M62's are "only" 34500# thereabouts .. Crazy to think the Western Star tractor w/ 36ft triaxle dump trailer i once ran Tare'd at 36200# .. When parked next to the M62 nobody could ever guess the two were so very close...

nice combo ! my fiance has a "normal" fummins , 2004 24-valve dually 4x4 Lariat pickup w/gooseneck hitch for her 40ft LQ livestock trailer, and a tuner for the VP44.. Fortunately it retained the ford 6-speed standard tranny .. The thing is a bear and sounds awesome .. We wanna hear/watch...

assuming there's a back seat, 4 men ... would certainly be crowded for the two in the back, leg room would be very much an issue but they could sit a bit sideways ... be much roomier to remove seat and have the rear two sit on the fender wells .. I had an early CJ5 with seat pads that...

searched the forum but came up short.. i believe it's a #2 but unsure.. Need to put an offset housing on a commercial application where friend is removing an L10 and replacing with a NTC350 , however i am thinking the bellhousing will NOT like the torque of the 350 at all , and his L10...

your tag indicates truck was built on the 1970 (4-year) contract, and the USA registration number (04E13271) indicates it's a 1971 model year ... that's how these numbers usually work from the late-60's into the early-70's , same as this period of 5-tons .. PS: " General Products...

the downshift trick (same goes with multifuel deuces) is take 5H to 4H as normal but then you avoid the 4th/3rd hole by hitting 5H , drop the transfer into neutral, double-clutch the rpms up and slide transfer into low range cleanly. . Then you're in 5L which is faster than 3H.. You have...

Oh there's more gears to choose from than we actually need.. Once a driver learns how to use the shift points (per the dash tag) and use both the high and low sides of the transfer case when pulling heavy loads, the dreaded "3rd-4th hole" of the overdrive spicers can be avoided, . Depends on...

2: that's one of the things the hand brake is handy for . 26001# and up is the magic number regardless whether a vehicle has air brakes or not . The M39-series and M809-series are considered hydraulic brakes although federalization was supposed to make all the rules standard in all states ...

1: onboard air will do the job for brief bursts .. you are better-off with a 3/4" impact , a fast powerful burst to break them free .. A 1/2" impact requires a lot more patience and sometimes will not break some of the nuts free no matter what 2: rolling backwards or forwards "a couple...

even better !

going all the way back to my AIT-engineer heavy transport days (before i went into armor) , i always liked the tailgate options provided by the M51's and M817s of that era , and the fact one (strong) man can move the tailgate into each of the positions by himself when out on field projects we...

END673, or ENDT ? if the END (non-turbo) , does it have the downspout exhaust? I have personally only seen two like that and driven one of the two .. It appears in my icon

a grinder, stick welder, and some nickel rod will have that fixed good and strong in 30 minutes or less i have a few of those levers but they are with complete box/hoist assemblies for future sale :(
