Now that is one long distance recovery.:shock:

I flat towed a deuce from Arkansas to AL with a deuce.....most of it Interstate and four lane state roads. You are going to be a toad in the road and having Peterbuilts blowing by you at 80 MPH is unnerving.... I still remember our SS brother that got killed when he was rear ended by a...

You will prob be real disappointed in the LDT in a 5 ton. I had a LDS multi in a 5 ton tractor and it would not pull the hat off your head.:roll:

There are hundreds of M931's coming out of Camp Shelby...some are going straight to the scrapper.....you may be able to get a good running engine for scrap price.

So it has a CAT in it? Did Oshkosh finally wise up and kick the double breasted Driptriot to the curb?

The O-rings in the fuel selector switch are notorious for drying out and allowing air to be sucked into the system. That would be my first suspect. I had that problem on my 816 and had to bypass it.

Having had a wrecker with the 250 Cummins in it that ran away I can tell you that it is not a pleasent experience. If motor oil is getting into one of the cylinders from some source it could cause it to do that and put out the smoke. In my case fuel had filled up the crankcase and that...

I have found that the (mis)management in AZ (not the ladies in the trenches) are just as concerned with my customer satisfaction now (after having bought over 30 vehicles and assorted other stuff) as they were when I bought my first deuce.:roll::roll:

O.D., You are the Man. There are a lot of people that would never consider what a vehicle could mean to a veteran. I still have fond memories of the deuce I drove in Germany back in the 70's. That truck can help him heal in ways that modern medicine never could. I salute you...

Some guy came in and tried to start a 12 step program.....he now owns 2 deuces, 1 CUCV, three M105 trailers and was last seen on GL muttering "so many vehicles....so little money".:mrgreen:

I think they should be called "unreality" shows. Too much drama about nothing. The tow truck shows are especially irritating.:roll: Well....those and the "see how many alligators can be killed by the inbred swamp people".:roll:

As I understand it the M36 was designed to carry reloads for a now obsolete missile system....that's why only one side (passenger) of the bed drops down. The Air Force may have had some to do that kind of duty.

Please explain what the problem is again????? :mrgreen::cookoo::jumpin:

If my Aunt Freida had balls she'd be my Uncle Fred.rofl

I have found that the best way to resolve that issue is to never live anywhere that requires installing a winter front or block heater on anything.:mrgreen:

I started driving commercially in 1977 and have driven just about every misbegotten design ever inflicted on truck drivers. International 4070 single axle, White Road Commander (Road Commode), Petes, KW's. Freightliners, etc. The Whites were notorious for the wiring catching on fire going down...

So the tech support guy says to me "It's so simple a 10 year old can do it". So I said to him "then why didn't you have a 10 year old do it before you put it in the fricking box".

The kits had a Federal Stock Number and were ordered and installed by individual units. I was in a HETT unit that had two beacons on each tractor and two beacons on each trailer. When we convoyed it looked like a disco light show. I found them annoying and distracting at night. A unit...

Dat bee Elmo D. Possum.......sidekick to Wreckeman, favorite of Delta Flight Attendants, GA Rally Food Service Supervisor, Convoy Rider, Possum Porn Star and primary leg humper of Clinto and Doghead.8-)

Mission complete. I rolled out of bed at dark thirty and fixed me and Elmo some breakfast. We then PMCS'd the M9i5 and headed out to Redstone.....I picked up my buddy Dale (a SS member but his screen name escapes me) on the way since he had some items to pick up. No issues with the trip...
