I agree that if you want to leave you should be able to its your choice not like you must stay I know some like to leave early to get home and relax I really wish the show started friday evening and went through sunday there are alot of us such as myself that have limited vacation time that we...
Also where would i get a fuel tank sealant kit and how hard is it to do to a 5 Ton tank it does have baffles, just saying because im not sure if the deuce tank has baffles
Thanks alot everyone i appreciate the info so much, Im going to go with the muratic acid and water sounds pretty straight forward and easy to do, the rust is only on the top half of the inside of the tank. The only reason i pulled the tank off is because one of our soldiers had ran over...
I say to **** with all deuces J/K definately agree with what has been said above trucks are much cleaner have been rebuilt more recently and drive nicer you could always go big buy a M813A1 like I did parts are just bigger more expensive and rare to find some
I'll be up saturday for the day bringing my faithful silverado pickup the M813A1 just isn't ready to hit the highway yet as I have the fuel tank out and fuel costs to much right now
But I will have with me

Ok ok ok so maybe i push the power steering a little much but i do enjoy it. why does everybody dislike the front of the A3 deuces I like it it is different, the only thing i don't like is how the front of the hood is higher besides that i like the front end. I also heard some one talking about...
When i picked up my M813A1 from Ft. Meade in MD. i got to drive an A3 and was very impressed with it. Take this from experience NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER BUY A PIG IN A POKE ALWAYS GO AND PREVIEW YOUR TRUCK EVEN IF YOU MUST TAKE OFF WORK ITS WAY WORTH IT AND MAY JUST CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT THE...
A3 definateley front end does look a little strange at first but i would choose an A3 over an A2 no.1 newer because of rebuild, no.2 quieter because of insulation and flooring, no.3 CAT diesel engine, no.4 overal nicer truck persoanlly
Having seen both the A2 and A3 deuces i would go with the A3 they do have some problems with that CTIS but im sure that can be fixed properley. The A3's are much newer being they were rebuilt in the early 90's as part of the extended service program they are much nicer on the inside as well. A2...
Curious how much do the legs for mounting a gun ring to an M809 series cost, also curious about the cost of a pair of hmmwv seats no mounts just the seats?
I personally preffer the 5 ton i enjoy my M813A1 W/W yes they are bigger ride rougher cost more to purchase and fuel the parts are a little harder to get only because they weren't as highly produced like the deuce. But it sits higher looks cooler personally. has HYDRUALIC POWER STEERING from the...
Also the man at the battery store told me that they do make two styles of the 8D one is a "starting battery" and the other is a "deep cycle battery" obviously the choice is yours but remember that deep cycles are designed to be run low before recharge like you have a bunch of accessories running...
Im with 73M819 I run two big 8D series batteries that are designed for heavy equipment and I have. No problems starting no matter what the temp is. Also at about $200 a piece without a core they are still cheaper than those darn 6TL's which will run you about $800 for four they're around $175 a...
Pulled the tank off the M813A1 today to sand and paint it figured I should pull the sending unit and the pickup tube to see what the inside of the tank looks like. Wasn't terribly rusted but way more than I feel comfortable leaving alone. Any suggestions on how to clean this rust?;)
Due to my water line from my well to my house deciding to bust last week it burned up my well pump so after 900 bones a new pump and replacing the busted line im not able to come plus truck isn't ready so y'all have fun try not to break anything expensive.:grd:
Yeah I can't tell you how many businesses used to use rail but no longer do because of the big rail roads not wanting to switch cars I believe that the rising cost of diesel will bring these small industries back and we will be restoring the rail heads we tore out 30 years ago when rail was...
