As with many other things, common sense applies. If you do what you describe, then, no, this is not likely to cause damage or danger. The winch is, however, an ''integrated system'' that is designed to work within its load limits, torque limited by the shear pin in the PTO shaft. Applying...

Well, I think you should wrap a mannequin wearing a bike helmet, ripped clothing and fake blood around that bike and front end. That would give your Deuce the right look, with a bike in front!

I have driven my Deuce in both single (current) and dual configuration (before) and can honestly say that I would not go back. You are not giving up load carrying capacity with singles and on-road and off-road manners are better when singled out. I especially disliked the axle binding and how...

No questions, no deep insights....just having fun driving my truck and gently offroading. The pictures do not show how steep the embankments really are. Yet, the truck is geared so low that it can idle up the grade without stalling in low first. The grade is steep enough for the front bumper...

I think you found a good truck there. You were asking for advice - here it is: get the truck, get all the parts that you can round up on the property that may belong to it (as already mentioned, fifth wheel, spare tire carrier etc.), and bring the truck to a secure location. Then trade/sell it...

I drove it, with a big smile on my face. Turn signal flasher unit is a bit erratic, new fuel gauge and cleaned grounds still make the gauge show 1/2 when empty, but otherwise..a blast. Air pack seems to work ok (after lubing; it was venting air when the pedal was applied and did not produce a...

I replaced my brake cable and the replacement cable came in a new outer sheath. I do not see how the cable alone would work; it needs the rigid outer sheath to brace against when you actuate the parking brake lever.

Looks like you come well prepared! Good luck!

Hmm...I would have said it looks like a "thin stacker" to me - no turbo.

Can somebody please confirm that this is the TM with the correct instructions and images (as opposed to the TM with a mis-labelled picture, leading to false assembly and non-functional airpacks)

2 of the airvalve piston cover bolts were indeed somewhat loose. I tightened them, but this is not where it leaks air. It leaks "high up" when the pedal is depressed. I removed the J-pipe and sprayed more lubricant in, then pumped the brakes as hard as I could without and then with air. It...

Thank you all for the tips. I will check for loose cover bolts and report back.

I searched and sort-of found a few clues, but I am asking your help anyway. 1) airpack is the non-rebuildable style 2) when applying brakes lightly/normally, I could hear air escaping. Stand on the brakes at an intersection and the buzzer comes on. 3) all of a sudden yesterday, the brake pedal...

Time for some voodoo. Based on "this works for me, no guarantees given, batteries not included" I would like to add that, if your turn indicators seemingly stopped working, put the left signals on with the engine running. Take the green plastic lamp cover off the turn indicator light and check...

Ditto on the 11.00R20 Goodyear G286. I run the fronts at the pressure recommended by Goodyear (90 psi) and the rears at 65 because I run empty. There is simply no weight on these tires and inflating them to 80 increases the hopping and harshness of the rear end. The road manners have improved...

Well, that's it then. Go and mount that diagonal stripe on your front grille!

I was told that excessive heat is what kills many automatic transmissions. I try my best to not be a DATD (dumb ass truck driver) and some things the mechanics tell me that DATD do are really bad....like applying the spring brakes and leaving the truck idling and in gear, then forgetting about...

Here is the writeup: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/56882-plastic-air-wiper-motors-repair-how.html I recommend you do NOT use air tool oil. Your O rings may swell up and lock up the wiper pistons. Ask me how I know. Use silicone spray.

:funny: Ok, well, I guess "it depends". Which truck does he have in mind to compare to the Deuce? He may or may not be right. The Russians..ahem..Ukrainians, more likely, did build some very usable 6x6. Which pickup truck is better? A Ford or a Chevvy? Let's grab some popcorn.
