For a second, I thought that your Deuce was a camouflaged combat vehicle...way cool...until I realised that the interior shot is not from the Deuce box, but from the LAV!

Geez, guys, really. I was all pumped up about buying my first Deuce and almost hit the BuyItNow button and you come up with all these comments. Now I am a shaking wreck, not knowing what to do. Sure an 8-cylinder Multi must be better than the standard 6 that all you guys have? You jealous, or...

I do not know what else to do as a tall person on long trips in a cramped cab. Although not on a Deuce, I have used this method often on other trucks. I would say that it is inherently dangerous - but with many things that are potentially dangerous, if one is mindful and pushes the throttle in...

devilman96 devilman 96: It is refreshing to read a level-headed and honest response. All the info is on the table for everyone to make an informed decision.

Shades of black relate to the fuel quantity injected in relationship to the air available for combustion. In the absence of computer controls with a "mapped" diagram for fuel injection, it is easy to achieve a mixture that is a bit too rich, for example WOT under full load. Black is basically...

Recovry4x4 - so true. I did a bit of self-reflection and admit that this is very much what I do when I am out there. Many infractions I encounter are minor and I tend to be more lenient with people that are straight and honest (as opposed to fake) and I certainly follow "the book" when...

The following are just educated guesses, nothing more. When you drive a vehicle through water, the moving parts, such as hubs etc. are warm from the drive and then get cooled by the water. Because all these assemblies also contain air, the cooling and "shrinking" of the air leads to water being...

Ahm, no, that is merely the wisdom that comes with a certain age! :wink:

Folks, you fail to see the OPPORTUNITIES that arise from reduced military spending! PM the Deuces and, when the time comes, contract them back to the military! Save the money and buy more Deuces afterwards. Ok, yes, I am joking...but only partially. This very same situation is currently going...

You might be a Redneck if...you have a pingpong ball duct taped to you fuel sending float!

Nice job with the painting. The sheet metal looks good and the paint is coming out well. You can, of course, do whatever you want; it is your truck. I, too, believe that you have a rather rare truck that is made even rarer by its completeness and good condition. Whoever had it last did not even...

The Volkswagen TDI engines have a shutoff valve just before the intake manifold that is momentarily activated (closes and re-opens after a short period) when the ignition is switched off. It is an additional safeguard in addition to switiching off the fuel supply. It would also reliably shut...

Re: RE: Turbo question In another life I worked on a tug boat and one of our Mirrlees-Blackstones did exactly that. I will never forget that beast starting to revv up, out of control. Yeah, they are machines, but that engine was screaming like a living being. The chief engineer ripped the air...

I remember reading that the rear PTO off a 5ton also fits as a rear PTO on a deuce. Can someone confirm that? 5ton PTOs appear to be easy to get; deuce rear PTOs not so much.

Re: RE: what r duece worth now (newbie) Those are wise words, indeed. It is easy to trash commercial re-sellers for their "inflated" prices, compared to a truck fresh from the auction. But then, if you buy from a re-seller you can jump in and drive the truck home. Not a single dime more spent...

I just (as in: one hour ago) drove from Ottawa to Montreal; traffic was so bad, I did not have a chance to whip around, catch up with the truck and snap a picture (so do not give me grief!): A semi loaded with three Canada Deuces was heading towards Ontario on autoroute 40. They all had...

Thanks! That was a good, level and mostly balanced interview.

Could someone please youtube (yes, that is a verb and I am sticking to it!) the TV interview? Out-of-staters are interested...
