To answer your question, no, I have no indicator telling me that the parking brake is engaged, other than the fact that my truck will not move if the parking brake is engaged, it works extremely well .
I hear guys say that their parking brake is absolutely worthless and I'm not sure why if your...
Wait, extra power ?
Where did that come from, I miss somethin ?
Cuz if you had some actual power, you wouldn't need tractor gears is all ...
Nothin wrong with tractor gears, except for the extra expense of purchasing them, and then installing them, and then having them only be good for a...
Is that roof glass or metal ?
Between the back single wheels tucked in and those front fenders, it looks like an M34 that Memphis got ahold of way back in the day, the data plates reflect the newer cab that they would often upgrade to and not bother to remove them .
Ya know I'm absolutely certain that you guys are correct about the importance of the order of turning off the switches, however my grandson is often up in the cab of the truck when it is running and manipulate those switches in every manner possible and I've never had a problem .
I'm not...
With some help from my lil buddy we removed emoved all of the CTIS Junk from my wheels today, now I can see which ones still leak the worst, and replace them with good known spare wheel/tires that I have .
So much cleaner w/o that stuff on there, I shall paint them up proper when paint is...
Yes the long floor lever in between the seats is neutral halfway up, which does indeed disengage the drivetrain .
Yes blackout turns off all headlights and turns on a little baby light on the front that you can barely see .
The dimmer switch is on the floor over to the left where it should be...
Actually all you need to do is just get a 5 ton and a tow bar, and then when you get there your Deuce will have someone to talk to .
It's a well known fact that they don't like to be alone .
I was just thinking of that and I would have to concur, my old Deuce is a 63 Studebaker and the spare cable I have is out of a 68 Kaiser .
That old truck is not around anymore to compare to or see what type of handle it had, but when it comes to these Deuces it's often NOT a one size fits all...
I do believe that those cables are still available, however something you need to be aware of is getting the correct cable .
I have a used one off of another Deuce I used to have, and it will not fit my current deuce .
The outside sheath is the same but the internal cable is shorter and I...
What you are doing is incredibly dangerous, but I do not believe that you know why or how so I'm going to attempt to paint a picture for you here .
The brake wheel cylinders are absolutely the weakest part of a Deuce, or any air over hydraulic brake system for that matter, they have a higher...
I replaced my parking brake shoes when I had my water tank off which makes it about a thousand times easier, it's not overly complicated, two brake shoes a drum and a cable to actuate .
I got new shoe fiber from Big Mikes motor pool about 5 or 6 years ago, if you get just the fiber like I did...
Maybe Jack it up and start turning things to see exactly where the noise is coming from, it's more than likely just a wolverine or a honey badger stuck in your wheel .
I pulled this old 53-ft trailer out of some blackberry bushes for a guy, took him fit longer to figure out where to put it than it did for me to get it out and move it .
