    A winch is a winch is a winch ... or is it??

    I know what you are saying Kenny, but up here the woods and trees are tight. You can't alway get a straight pull on the winch. If the pull is on a angle the cable wraps quickly on one side. If anyone wants to see what I mean, Go from your front bumper in to your seat 5 times in a row. Tiring huh?

I use my winch alot pulling trucks out and it is way eaiser with soldier B telling you the cable is not bunching up on one side or...

    Radiator leaking again!

    Radiator is recored and reinstalled. Wow does the truck cool alot better. With the winter cover on and even pushing the motor it runs 180. Is that OK? One of the engines in my boat broke the valve springs from running too cold. Thanks Mark

    New years manuvers

    Thanks. When I restored the cab and the seats, I used marine grade sunbrella material used for boat tops. Had some left over so we sewed a vinyl backing to it and 4 eyelets for 2 small bungee cords. USMC is in flat black paint and stencils are from homedepot. Pics of the seats are in the photo...

    Headlights Upgrade

    I also have that problem with stock headlamp output. Anyone have a fix?

    OMG! HELP!!

    Are you talking about the arm on the box? If so you will need a puller. Apply pressure with the puller, then strike the round part with a hammer stopping to crank more on the puller. Some are very stubborn but will come off. Mark

    Overcharging?

    I think my truck is overcharging. The gauge reads high and the batterys are a little wet on top. I saw a allen screw with a plate that says turn to raise or lower voltage. Do these units have a built in voltage regulator? I have a spare unit that came with the truck, but want some info before I...

    Cold weather start...no problem!

    My deuce starts great in cold weather with the flameheater. I have the herc engine, rebuilt depot in 87. I did have problems starting when I first got the truck. It turned out to be the batterys. They tested good, but would not start the truck when it was cold out. Most all engines need maximum...
