Just out of curosity what are you running for fuel? Straight diesel or a WMO/WVO mixed with diesel? Not having the in-tank pump working should not stop the truck from running unless you have an air leak in your fuel system causing loss of prime.

Its not the jump to be worried about, its whether you'll have a nice slow stop at the bottom or a sudden one.

Just take one big step, float for a while and then get the Deuce.

My dogs love it when I get those cheap helicopters. They try to catch the dang things out of the air. Don't know why but they just go crazy when I have one.

I thought I saw some for sale in the classifieds, do a search and I'm sure you'll find them. The ones I saw were for a dual tire set up.

Anything electrical that can draw is a possibility. Could be the alternator or any of the gauges drawing if the master switch isn't working properly. Master disconnect is the easiest fix plus it gives you a little bit more of a security check if you do any events where people are in the cab of...

Guess I should have stated he would be legal if he used the chains in the matter that I showed in my pictures.

Agreed KsM715, thats why I said there was a better way of doing it than what they did.

Perfect example of how they could have tied it down safer using only the 1 chain on the back. My deuce is only being tied down with 2 chains total but due to how the chain is actually being implemented it counts as 4 chains. Just for the doubters this is 100% legal.

Actually with the way that they have the chain run through the eyelets it counts as 2 chains. Now they probably could have ran it a little differently to make it a more safe way of doing it but he does have "4" sections of chains holding it down so in the eyes of the DOT he is legal.

iPod with noise cancelling ear buds. Just loud enough to hear it over the background noise but can still hear the sounds of the deuce. Only problem is you have to watch catching the wires from the ear buds when steering or shifting but you figure out a work around quickly.

I don't think it would have mattered much whether you were in a 5 ton or a deuce in that situation. Only thing that might have had a chance was a vehicle of equal weight so that it didn't spin out as easy. Either way, neither the cab on a 2.5 or 5 ton has any kind of roll over protection so...

If the CAT was stuck under the hood I would think the sheet metal would have to be changed for it to fit properly...unless not all of the components were put on for the cat. There was a thread on here last week that showed a M35A2 repowered with the CAT but it didn't have all of the extra...

Hey Mr. Moneybags, why are you complaining? Per Kenny you're as stingy as he is at spending money....on maintenance that is :-)

Freakin' DH always typing faster than other people...... :-D

Could always crimp the lines closed below where you're going to cut and then use the sawzall.

No

Do each battery seperately like DH said, they may not charge equally causing damage to one of them.

That truck is actually up for auction at the moment

Unless your family and girlfriend are familiar with bigger vehicles there isn't a user friendly MV for the inexperienced. These bigger trucks regardless of model require more to operate them safely then just jump in, start it, and go.
