    -12* will the deuce start?

    It was -27 here this morning. My gas vehicle didn't like being started, I can't even imagine trying to start the deuce!

    Noteworthy Gl auction

    I don't know what all the fuss about wasteful spending is about. The GL page says the government got them for free! ;)

    Tips for storing a CUCV

    You might want to consider putting a trickle charger on your batteries while they are in your basement. Stabile makes a diesel formula now. I would squirt some in and top off your tank. I am not sure if their fogging spray is good for diesel engines.

    Tree removal the easy way

    I tried to pull the stump out but all that I got were 10 muddy tire prints where I scalped the grass. I was scared of getting a run at it and tearing my truck up. I think if I would have had some weight in the back I might have done better.

    Check out this Modded CUCV

    Don't feel bad. I thought the same thing until about 1 minute ago. I think that rig looks pretty good.

    A3 Tranny in an A2

    On the flipside, could you put the A2's transmission into an A3?

    3 Deuces Home at Last

    That's funny. He was over to our mutual friend's (who is building a house) yesterday around lunch time and I was over there in the late afternoon so I just missed them. We got to chatting later and he mentioned that Curt went with a buddy to help his uncle get three deuces from IA. I thought...

    I agree that a Whistler sounds quite cool (that's what I have). Welcome to the site.

    3 Deuces Home at Last

    Was the friend who helped with you cousin named Curt and had a bum knee? Nice looking recovery. I am glad everything went well. Oh, and if this is like the Price is Right, I will guess 13' 1.25"

    ever get a load of gas in your CUCV?

    Back when I was in the guards we had stopped at a truck stop to refuel. I noticed my buddy (a supply guy) at the same pumps as the trucks trying to get the nozzle into the tank of a gasser Econoline van. I told him it took gas and he said, "I thought all military vehicles took diesel."

    Minnesota get together?

    Sounds like fun however I am a bit limited by finances right now. I have to get new batteries and my tabs are expired. Let me know when you plan on going if the money situation changes for me. Nick

    Tree removal the easy way

    We had some strong straight line winds this morning after a thunder storm rolled through and it took down to box elder trees. Dragging the trees off is much easier than dealing with them in place. I accidentally backed into the stump (didn't there used to be an "embarrassed" smiley face?)

    Reverse gear, deuce surges

    I noticed mine was doing the same thing the other day. I had it in low range, front axle DISengaged, and I wasn't giving it any throttle. I was on grass if that makes a difference.

    50/50 mix of used motor oil & E85 in the Deuce?

    In Minnesota we are mandated (forced) to buy at least 10% ethanol in all grades of gas, so you still have to worry about the ethanol's problems. I have read some articles about even E10 doing bad things to small engines and boat motors. I would avoid E85.

    This guy gets my vote & You Tube on GL

    Don't kid yourself. I have the Wildblue satellite and it isn't that much faster than dial-up.
