(Quote). "Dumping the clutch after killing the engine probably won't do any good with a deuce, as if you rotate the diesel, it will just fire up again. The man should have been going down through his gears long before the stop, to guard against what happened here". I absolutely can not...

"Does? run any more"..(with as said 'carp' in it)..sounds fishy to me...

Thank you for posting this, A very informative video to show the lads.

Absolutely. (As) There is no regulation if the engine is running with no batteries connected. Also it is very bad practice (as) this same no regulation can result in a violent surge back to the Slaving vehicle. Viz. Effectively you would be 'charging' the slaving trucks electrical system with...

"In Europe, you better not get caught without. If one light is not working properly, you might get away with a warning and repairing it at the nearest parking spot. If the whole rear or front side is out, you are in for a hefty fine PLUS the truck stays where it is until repaired"...

I sincerely hope this has nothing to do with 'Anything' At all)..r....n!

It might help you greatly if you had a second person use the steering (stationary) whilst you look and hear what's going on.

(2nd of) Two very sad posts (to have) to respond to today...This one like the last is the wrong sort of attention historic military vehicle enthusiasts collectors and show participants need. I hope the driver of the small car get's to be back to normal as soon as possible. Not so Small mistake...

Un believable! All that and people could have been killed, FOR WHAT!?..the PRICE of a trailer board! "Most trailers and or semis don't have lights"....OF COURSE THEY DO! I have a 50's low loader..It is like an xmas tree!, Marker lights (Yellow) Down both sides..Whites on the front..Large Red's...

Really sorry to hear all that..There were SO many warnings posted about 'NOT purchasing "more! vehicles" from the U.K. IF you really desire a tracked or 'Many Wheeled' 'thingy' running and reliable P.M. Me and I WILL get some sane and sensible advices for you. So, don't give up your wish just yet.

Interesting..I thought those 'modern' styer type trucks were reasonably quiet. My 5ton M54A2 whistler is quite tolerable sound wise in the cab, and a passenger chat is quite do-able. I 'insulated' the cab floor (all) with Lead sheet. Then thick underlay. The roof was insulated with foam. Under...

Did you take heed of CSM davis advice?..report your current status.

My M54A2 Singled out (1600x18) Camper does between 15 and 17 Miles to a ((n imperial)) Gallon. My singled out (1200x20) deuce does between 12mpg and 15 mpg. They cruise to shows at 2000 RPM. 52 MPH. Steady with light throttle. They run on contam (clean diesel petrol mix) + filtered ( To 1...

Really pleased to hear you managed the 'great escape' satisfactorily. Hopefully you did not get a bunch of 'write up's and ticket fees?'

Test? (result). 'You Passed'.

My bet is the starter solenoid/s. Iv'e had so many go fuzzy it's not true. But usually just cleaning and re-wiring tight did the trick. (and some do have very tricky wiring circuits).

Sorry to hear of the problems "they" (are) wishing to heap on you..keep us informed. (after plan Z!(..just use your....0r anyone elses.. .Chinook!)).

These trucks do not have a civilian conformity standard. Or if they do, it's an American one, and no use to you. Some people have put these trucks on the road as registered..You CAN 'put anything on the road'..But, YOU have to make the vehicle (then) 'Conform' to the required standard. The E.U...

That I know, All American trucks use U.S. slave start receptacles. And There is a N.A.T.O. Adaptor that is carried to connect Single Pin N.A.T.O. to two pin U.S. Slaves. I carry TWO British Single Male pin to Two pin Male U.S. Jumper slave adaptors in each of my trucks. (and they are capable of...

Some trucks have solid axles and leaf springs, So I guess that makes them 'similar'. (However,The Dakar,).."Kamaz trucks use leaf springs and solid axles front and rear and weigh in at a whopping 20,000 pounds. The front spring packs consist of 15 leaves, while the rear uses a 10-leaf pack...
