    Just spitballing...winching out your own deuce while alone.

    2) the way it operates in front of the truck, you'd probably kill yourself if it did - not sure if you can fully use the winch from inside the truck, I suppose you can, but it's still a bit tricky. You operate the winch from in the cab. It should be a 2 person operation.

    After a 6-month hiatus, the smoke is back!

    Originally, I thought you had welded the balancer together, not to the crankshaft. Sorry for the confusion there. Start with your injectors. Intermittent misfiring can be cause by them.

    Recently, Gulfway sent out a letter to customers stating that they will no longer be rewriting the insurance coverage policies for military vehicles. There was also a reference to Hagarty in the letter, but I don’t recall the specific wording.

    Sounds like you have a misfire. Welding the balancer just eliminated what it is there for. Next time your crankshaft will fail.

    Winch problem on a fire dept M54A2 5ton

    As for the engagement lever, I often slowly pull out on my cable a bit while holding light hand pressure on the lever until it engages. Remember, the engagement dogs only engage every 180 degrees of drum rotation. Since your cable is bound, you will need to rotate the input shaft several turns...

    Winch problem on a fire dept M54A2 5ton
