I drove my truck with the stock duals 9.00-20 and flipped the hubs, drove it with 9.00-20 NDTs singled out and then upgraded to 11.00-20 radials. All this to say that I have a little bit of experience with different configurations. Look-wise, I much prefer the duals, preferably aggressive tread...

Scottmh, I have no idea what your background is, so it is difficult to hit the right tone. You could be a master mechanic or a baker, for all I know. Buying a truck at a government auction has its risks. If you read the threads suggested above, you find out, why. How much do you actually know...

Yes and no, sir. The operative word is "flush". You stick the garden hose into the filler neck but provide an exit for the water (commonly the lower rad hose); leave the hose running and thereby flush stuff out of the rad and (parts of) the cooling system. Then put the hose back on, fill the...

Glad to hear you manage to track down some culprits. I do not know the history of your truck; sometimes, if diesel fuel with a (high) Biodiesel component is used, it does not like to sit for extended periods of time (months, years). It attracts moisture and algae can grow in it. They are usually...

Thank you, gentlemen. That concurs with what I was thinking. At ease.

Not all states or provinces do have minimum speeds on multi-lane highways. Ontario states that "No motor vehicle shall be driven on a highway at such a slow rate of speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic thereon except when the slow rate of speed is necessary...

I showed my Deuce on a truck show this weekend and one visitor pointed out what he is convinced is cracking tires. What to look for: In the centre groove of the the tread is what appears to be another thin groove (or "crack"). To me, it looks to be symmetrical and machine cut. However, the...

My hat is off to you for the approach you are taking. I hope that it pans out as planned. My only suggestion would be to change the title to something that better reflects the idea.

Thank you for providing these insights. Before I go on, read this: http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/56011368-78/yates-ruman-skordas-crash.html.csp There are pictures and descriptions about this fatal rear-ender involving an M35A3 on the site. I am saying this to set the stage. I drove home...

I threw the stock passenger bench out and mounted the HMMWV pedestal seat and used (after refurbishing) the old springer base for the commander's seat. Worked well, took me the best part of a day to do but the ride is so much improved! Sorry for the sideways pic. I also drilled a hole across...

See, if you do not think it through, you do what I did - you cut the steel plate, rivet the HMMWV seat rails to the plate with two plate bolts capturing the rear seat rail and bolt the assembly to the floor, then bolt the seat on. Of course, then you ask youself, why didn't I just bolt the seat...

Check copper fuel line for pinching, especially where it runs from one side to the other under the radiator. Check the rubber fuel lines (if so equipped) - when they rot inside, they can swell up or create "flaps" that can cause flow issues. Also check whether the fuel shutoff releases...

This suggests that you live within an incorporated municipality and do not have sufficient space to park the vehicle on property that you own. Before taking the plunge, I suggest that you consult with your municipality to see what the restrictions are for parking a tandem axle truck in an alley...

Well,the good news is that you can un-bolt the broken winch and replace it with a working winch. You do not have to invest in the items that make a wo/w to w/w conversion expensive. Adjust the PTO and you are good to go. You get some spare parts off the broken winch and some money back for scrap...
