    How easy does your multifuel deuce start?

    I have turned mine up quite a bit. I don't have a pyro but I did the recommended "Safe" stomp the throttle at idle and make a black cloud suggestion. I've run it 5 years this way and it starts as soon as I blow at the start button, even after sitting for a month or so. I've towed heavy stuff...

    Trouble locating/identifying this fuel part

    I somehow snapped both of those lines when installing my C turbo. The truck would hesitate to start afterwards. I capped them off with a tube of RTV initially and my truck would start fine. I removed them and capped with a more permanent solution as I've never used the flame heater and the...

    FMTV Do You Leave your Cab Air Springs / Leveler Engaged?

    Are we talking about the cylinder on each side with a piece of chain and adapter mounted to it. If so, those are not for the cab. They are to compress the suspension and the pins on those are to hold it there once the air bleeds off to keep the suspension compressed. This is done in addition...

    Lee missed the abundance of boiled peanuts since Mr. Lloyd was not there this year. He always gave her a sandwich bag worth for the event and a quart bag worth to go home with.

    Mike, I can offer a reward if it helps it surface sooner!!! Some folks may not have even unpacked trailers yet and records of your glucose levels are pretty handy when talking to your Doctor. A sharp increase or decrease is never good but useful information to how your body is functioning...

    I'd like to suggest that a trophy be created for most stuck trucks on Christmas Eve. Ferro and I would be in close competition!!! http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?133594-Christmas-Eve-Blunder&highlight=christmas+eve

    I imagine it did. While it was in my front yard, it made a few trips to Lowes about 20 miles away to pick up pre-fab fence sections for my Daddy. The dropside bed came in very handy as they could simply forklift the material on. I've got quite a few pictures of that truck and would be happy...

    I'm glad you were there even though I didn't get to see you. That M923 spent a lot of time in my front yard as the previous owner lives in town and had limited parking options. Even tackled the fun task of putting those wheels and tires together and putting them on the truck. It's still...

    If you meet the kid behind the truck. clear your schedule for the afternoon! He communicates in intricate detail everything that he has experienced in any given day. He's ready to finish out school for the week and go Rally bound in Momma's truck on Friday. It doesn't look like a CUCV at all...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2015 - October VOTE HERE

    Well, it has helped before so I'm bringing out the big guns. My son Briggs has spent time looking at the pictures and decided that we need to vote for WalkerHunter this go around since it's painted with an American Flag!! It's an awesome combo so it should do good in the voting.

    CUCVLOVER, You should have planned to make it to this!! We'll all take pictures. Since you like CUCV's, this one just got loaded on a trailer earlier today. It's the May 2015 MV of the Month and it just got a bath today. I have to Thank fellow member Riddle1 as his Dodge is doing the hard...

    Rolling out at 0800 hours, moving at 50 constant should make for a lunchtime arrival. Looking forward to seeing everybody in the afternoon. I'll be at the registration tent for my volunteer time around 1600. That's all dependent upon trucks running correctly but I've done this 5 times before...

    2015 Ga. Rally Volunteers Needed

    Just wanted to confirm that I will man the registration tent after I get settled in. I should arrive around lunch and report for duty around 1600 unless we have a breakdown. I think we'll be fine though. I'll bring a friend as well so the usual staff can take a break for quite a while and...

    M818 24volt to 12volt trailer lights

    Ran into this problem on my M1102 trailer. I tow it mostly with my M1028 which sends 12 volts to the lights. I occasionally pull it with my Deuce which sends 24 volts. The solution for me was not to re-invent the wheel but to switch lighting over to omnivolt LED's all around. I'll never...

    Help needed with air system

    The pressure regulator is located just to the right of the air cleaner housing on the firewall. There are at least 4 types of air pressure governors used on these trucks so a picture would help in providing advice on how to adjust cut in and out of the compressor. I likely wouldn't run it for...

    Hate your coming in that way. I'll be there Thursday if you haven't fixed it by then to lend a hand. I've volunteered to man the registration tent Thursday afternoon but I'm sure I can find a way out of that if need be. If not, I'll help into the night to get Bella repaired.

    Hunting for Idle on Deceleration

    air leak or low on fuel. Mine did that to me one time. I had just come back from the GA Rally and decided to drive it to work. I probably only had 10 gallons of fuel and went through some rough terrain. On the way to the gas station, it was acting very different. Everytime I pull up to an...
