OK, so the master cylinder was leaking when I got the deuce so I knew it would have to come out and be repaired or replaced. No problem. I got extra parts when I got the truck, and it came with a rebuild kit AND and NOS master cylinder. Now thanks to JATonka, I got some highspeed manuals on my...

If they were drunk and I was there, there they would've stayed. Almost got hit head on by a DUI that ironically I was on the way to the firestation to respond to his first rollover. Evidently he rolled it on the highway and landed on all four. Well that was good enough for him, so he kept...

In reply to quick farms, our dept. DID NOT SELL the Hmmwv, it was turned back into the GOVERNMENT agency that sells surplus equipment to local governments. In Ohio I don't need to meet any requirements other than a DOT physical to drive ANY emergency vehicle no matter how big it is. So DOT...

If someone considers me to be flaming the poster, or being an A-hole when giving adice on this topic, I have no problem with that if it saves a life. (I made no comment on the grammer, but dang!) This is not about putting the wrong shade of OD paint on a museum restoration, this could easily...

It didn't turn out the way you thought it would because you don't have enought experience in this area, and it's VERY important to be informed. Don't take this as a beat down, use this to gain knowledge. The days of driving b@lls to the wall to a fire and seeing how much soot you can get on...

Do you have enough of a tax base to pay for a workman's comp claim or an OSHA fine? I'm trying to get you and your fire dept. to stop thinking it's 1960. You could probably find a factory built used truck that is safe for less than you think. While HMMWV's are "cool", they are a terrible...

???? Sounds like it's time to get a Chief who has a clue of what he's doing. http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/wp-solutions/2011-125/pdfs/2011-125.pdf http://www.firefighternation.com/article/speccing-and-buying/military-vehicle-conversions-fire-service

Are you referring to the "D" turbo's? When I was in the Guard, the whistlers where almost always faster than a non turbo truck. I was in maintenance for 8 years and I don't think we ever messed with turning up a pump. This was in the '80's so I don't know if we had any D's back then.

Are you running the stock NDT's or something else? And how much do you drive your truck, does it sit for long periods?

I like your idea best, I've been doing some brain storming myself for when I have to my bearings. My deuce is parked on gravel so I will have to have two pieces of plywood. I just need to get a sheet of plywood, I've got the pipe. (I'm going to use 3/4" conduit as it's thinner so I don't have to...

Hey that's cheating!! That's not home made! You didn't even use duct tape! (That is badazz though) :drool:

I eventually hope to replace my bed just because it's beat up so bad, but instead of scrapping it I may just mount it on some wagon gear. (haywagon frame and axles) That way if I pickup a load of compost I don't have to worry about unloading right away.

It's nice to see a young guy that has respect for stuff that doesn't belong to him. Too many young guys don't care about tearing up stuff and then are stupid enough to post themselves doing it online. You have the right attitude.

How's your cable's? Have you checked the connections at the starter and the ground? If you have corrosion past the terminals that can cause problems as well. I'd also check the full length to make sure the cables don't have a spot where the insulation has worn through and is grounding out.

There are several Deuces on YouTube pulling sleds. Might be just exibition pulls, I don't know what class they would fit in.

Kind of obvious, but are you sure you're using the right setting/scale on your meter? Is it calibrated right? Try it on something you know is working right. I don't know how you could get much more than 24-28 volts without something frying.

Mebbe it wuz eight M35's!! :-P

Uh, you got Eastern Surplus there in Jersey, they should be able to help. The ad is usually at the top of the page.

Welcome to the world of MV's. Having said that, park that truck until you know what you are doing before you kill someone. The person you kill may be me, and that would piss off my wife to no end. Seriously, get a manual or download one from JATonka's website. Read it, know it, love it...
