My understanding is that the way to prevent sulfation is to keep the battery fully charged. If the solargizer can't charge the battery, how can it prevent sulfation?
I don't understand it, either. I live in farm country and there are fences dividing up everything. What makes you think that there is a semi-continuous stretch of land that folks will let you travel on? Do you think that they will let you tromp all over their crops? You will be arrested for...
Here is what David Doyle said in an earlier post regarding which came first:
Thanks for the kind words about my book guys. I figure that this site refers to the G-749 trucks as the "early" deuce 'cause that's what Chris wanted to call it! And, it does separate them clearly from the WWII...
There are several new 100A Leece Neville alternators on ebay for a $49 starting bid. I bought two. My local NAPA had the pulley to fit the larger shaft.
Anybody know a source for 8 inch headlight/ spotlight housings? I bought a pair of Q4559 600W aircraft landing bulbs cheap on ebay and would like to put them on my deuce. Identical to a regular 7 inch sealed beam headlight just one inch larger and ten times the output.
I have a large heater under the passenger side seat and a fairly small Red dot heater under the dash for defrost purposes. Works great and is out of the way.

I had the misfortune of a dead battery in my bobbed deuce over the holidays. One battery was OK, the other was dead. They are about 4 years old. I managed to get it to take a charge. After getting the truck...
I can't imagine an issue requiring the batteries to be disconnected when using one 12V charger. The thing to be careful of when using two 12v battery chargers is to ensure that the they are electrically isolated. In other words, neither the + or - 12V terminals of the charger is tied to the...
I've got a manual for the 1150 cubic inch Waukesha WAKD diesel engine and they did some interesting things to get it started in very cold weather:
The manual stated that 30W oil at -30F (quite a combination!), may require more than three times the torque than the engine is available to develop...
To add to what Barrman stated, the 24V starter is compound wound whereas 12V starters are series-wound and will develop more cranking speed. I second having a reputable starter shop modify your starter. I also have a hunch that this is an SAE-style starter and your starter shop may also be...
