No, you do not want in-pan heating elements. I have seen quite a few stick-on pan heaters burn themselves out. The plastic cover melts, burns and drips and the paint catches fire and burns off the oil pan. Unless you have a thick oil trail running down the side of the engine, that is usually the...

I can answer parts of your question as someone who is in a similar situation to you and has not yet found the Deuce to buy. This web site is an incredible source of information and the way to learn is to keep reading the posts in this forum. Also, READ THE MANUALS for the truck, at least the...

You NEED a flapper for that exhaust stack....or spray paint the mug OD green! 8)

I just thought I'd post it...the FMTV are based on the Austrian STEYR truck design. Steyr is now owned by the German MAN. Steyr has endless experience in off-road and military truck applications and the Austrian armed forces bought the 12M18 (12 ton, Medium chassis, 180hp) as standard troop...

Maybe this is common knowledge, but I just came across a supplier and decided to post it. Some OEM equipment to manufacture LDT465-1C components seems to have found its way to China. New or NOS VE pumps are notoriously expensive and this may be useful: http://www.chinahanji.com/ I am not...

JRBAMATEX You are a saint. I am not quite sure I would have held on to my patience quite as well. So much for "driven onto the lot" in the auction descriptions. You pay for what you get - and sometimes you get, what you paid for.

Ahem....a PARKED stainless trailer? Or one that passes one on the right? lol Not sure that there are many chances to pass anything going "at speed" in the Deuce, short of being in a free fall!

Too bad you do not have the exhaust that exits between the tandems....just pull forward ever so slowly...the pipe must be at about the right height for strategically depositing a little cloud! :twisted:

Our tool store here has pioneer tools (shovels, axes, pickaxes) with "plastic" handles. They do not splinter, do not swell or shrink or rot and only break when severely abused (like wood). Paint the yellow handles OD green and you should be set. Even if they do get stolen, it would not be a...

It may be that they added a foam concentrate tank at some point. Is there any brownish/black stinky residue in there? The add-on may not have performed satisfactory or they had problems with gumming up lines and just removed the lines, so an inexperienced operator would not be able to feed foam...

....yes, yes, yes, YES!!!! :P OHHHHHHHH.........AND I ALMOST FELL FOR THAT ONE! lol :lol: Thanks for the background info; thanks to this site, the helpful people on it and reading many, many...did I say MANY?... ads, I have learned a lot. I also downloaded the operator's manual and read...

Yes, I have that angle covered. Import into Canada is easy enough, due to the age of the vehicle. If the truck was plated in the US, it really is a non-issue. As you stated, it has to be a vehicle that can be legally sold to a non-US citizen; this is something the seller has to bear in mind as...

Thanks, rockman, for sharing your experience. Sounds reasonable. Ok, what about non-turbo versus turbo driveability? The turbo seems to add a bit of oomph at the very top of the rpm band, but is it a buy/do not buy issue (sound preferences aside)? What about manual front axle select versus air...

After lurking for a while, this is my first posting. This is a great web site and I have read a lot. I would like for those that have considerable experience with Deuces to suggest what would be best for me and talk me into or out of stupid things. I like MV and would like to own and drive...
