Maybe I got it backwards. Trying to remember what a former Army deuce mechanic told me.

Joe helped me out with my first deuce. I needed it hauled off of Ft. Jackson, so he stepped up. Very reliable and nice guy. He even let me park the deuce in his back yard to prep it for the journey home. He pointed out a power plug on a pole in his backyard too, which allowed me to air up...

Translation please? Wait, I think you mean a "not for hire" sticker is a "come and get me" in the world of trucking. Am I on the right track?

Residual pressure in the radiator can hang around for a long time. If you get antifreeze in the oil, but no oil in the antifreeze, I would suspect the oil cooler is bad/leaking. If there is oil in the antifreeze, or if antifreeze is being consumed/rapidly blowing out from overpressure, I would...

:shock: Striking resemblance.

No keys with deuces, just a little red button. ;-) Welcome.

Regarding winch trucks, aren't the A2 PTOs mechanical, whereas the A3 PTOs are hydraulic? Im sure someone knows if there are weight differences also.

The only "decoration" I would tolerate on an MV is the Mack Bulldog. Then it would have to be on a Mack powered M52. Then again, I'm a dog person.

For straps, rinse out the mud lengthwise, then dry them in the sun. Keep them in a dry place until needed. I LOVE using the straps when recovering ATVs. The rubber band effect really works on those.

If there is nothing wrong with the truck, it seems like thats a good price. I still wouldn't want it, because I'd have to learn a whole new truck. Scott, can you shoot that offhand, i.e. standing without someone holding you up? :lol:

Hey. Lots of bobbers on this site. Us purists tolerate them o.k. ;)

That is my dads dog. She follows him everywhere and gets terrible separation anxiety. I hope that wandering basset isn't homeless. On the winch, think it is a shear pin that failed?

That is what you get for eating your nephew. :wink: Sorry, I like commas.

Strange process, but worth it in the end. After all of the hassle and money, it feels good to get that title. Hey Scrapman, :funny:.

First issue: build yourself a brake bleeder. Often, a good bleed and some pumping of the pedal afterward will "wake up" marginal brakes, provided the lines are sound. Batteries are the next biggest issue. Emergency brakes get stuck sometimes. It doesn't hurt to have another deuce or 5-ton on...

The manufacturer, Utility Tool & Trailer said that those parts are on order and won't be in for a few months. I will let you know when I found something. I agree, it sounds like a mixup on GLs part. It wouldn't be the first time.

Ours is like the one you have in pic 1. Ours was from Ft Jackson, and had the tool boxes and fuel pod brackets. It sounds to me like someone wanted the fuel pod brackets on the trailer you won, so they did a swap. We paid about what you did, so I think you did alright. GL broke the brake...

THAT is the exact trailer we have. Even the color.

Didn't know you were currently offering them. I was referring to Jatonkas kits. Excellent, but too pricey to change over multiple trucks.

I would like to add that spin on filters are not practical for those of us with a fleet of trucks. Also, after you've handled the conventional filters several times, it gets easier.
