I spent 34 years in the Army and can say with certainty: There is no way to get a 250 Cummins in a deuce.....well not any practical way....too big, too heavy, needs a huge radiator, sheet metal would not work, yada, yada, yada.....I concur with Clinto.

We had an issue one time with some of our trucks (this was when the new 900 series 5 tons came out). They had put a coating on the inside of the fuel tanks that was supposed to reduce condensation. Too bad it was soluble in diesel fuel.....every truck in the fleet had to have the fuel tanks...

If you want a hard top and a ring mount but don't want to cut the hole you can do this. Rotate the ring all the way to where the pintle for the MG is at the rear of the mount, lock it in place and you can fire standing in the bed. We used to do this when we were firing off 5 tons and didn't...

Split shifting is a learned art......most people only split going up...then slow almost to a stop when dropping back into low range.....if you split when down shifting you have to make dam sure you don't drop into low range with the main transmission in too low of a gear....otherwise you can...

Caging the brakes is basically rendering them inoperable so that you can tow the vehicle. There are caging bolts on each brake chamber on each axle. You insert them into the chamber and turn them to back off the brakes shoes manually verses using the trucks air system to release them. If...

If the previous owner bought it from GL and didn't get the SF-97 he can still get one buy filling out the form on the GL site and paying the fee. He can then title it in his state and transfer that title to you....if he is an honest person he will do this for you (although he may want you to...

Woody.....there is a pawn shop over by the college that has a step deck parked beside it.....they are a title pawn also so it is prob for sale.....I'll stop in Monday and see what they want for it.

If I am loaded on a steep hill (or a long pull) I find that it is best to use low range and find a gear it will pull in at about 2000 RPM......the engine is not wound out and screaming and you can pull without lugging. Just my preference.

Don't forget the Depleted Uranium rounds for the 50 cal......not much that won't penetrate.

Have driven over the road for a living back before heated mirrors were standard equipment I applaud your addition. Nothing sucks worse than changing lanes and hoping you don't feel a thump or hear metal crunching. If I bob another deuce heated mirrors will be one of the first mods.

I concur with the sage comments of Papa Bear and all others.

You are more likely to run into bad weather if you take I-40. I used to run to CA every week when I was driving a big rig. If it were me I would run I-85 south to I 20 (in Atlanta) and then run I-20 all the way to where it joins I-10 (east of El Paso) and run I-10 to Phoenix. Once you get...

I never have problems with previews or pickups at Redstone (Alabama) but I have been known to grease the skids with a box of doughnuts once in a while. They will help you slave off trucks but you can only move them back and forth to check tranny and brakes. You can do small stuff on the yard...

Welcome to the Green Iron Loony Bin.:cookoo: Ladies always welcome. I certainly do.

It might be that there is a commo shelter in the back...if so you can remove it (it was only secured in by the cables that held it to the bed). A crane is the best way to remove one but if you find a rollback driver that knows what he is doing you can drag it out onto the rollback and then...

Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Accademy.:cookoo: You are headed down the slippery slope of MV madness with everybody standing by to grease the skids as you silde by. Best bunch of misfits you could ever hope to tie up with. I bought four deuces out of LRAFB at one time a few years...

Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Accademy.:cookoo: We tried to start a 12 step program but nobody wants to quit. There are some good folks up your way....watch out for AM General......he ain't right.

Years ago GL auctioned off a railroad car down in Lynn Haven, Florida. I happend to be in the neighborhood and previewed it. It had been a guard car off of a Minuteman Missile train...had a bunkroom, bathroom, big genny built into the back. I did a lot of checking about moving it and even had...

Yaaaa mule!!!!!!!

I was asleep at the switch last week...five M920's sold at Warner Robins AFB for an averge of 5400 each before GL's bloodmoney and taxes. I should have been on them like a hobo on a ham sandwich.
