Just a caution for you and installing bullet resistant glass, in my reading on this subject many times I have found that there are some very stringent cleaning things to DO and a whole lot of things that you DON'T do in cleaning this type of glass, I would suggest that you read up on this a...
Get your ohm meter out and start hunting down where the current stops, I would also make sure the bulbs are know and while the bulbs are out ohm out the sockets. If you have the wiring diagram another very goot spot to start is to locate and cleanup all the grounds, its kind of a pain but it...
One that sometimes seems to be forgotten but is as important or more than everything already mentioned is a full set up TMs! They will become your second bible!!!

Congrats on a successful recovery, sounds a little bit eventful but that is OK it just makes us appreciate the trucks that much more!!!! Have fun now that you got her home!

OK guys a little input would sure be nice to let me know what seems to be so UNATTRACTIVE about this request for a transport quote?? Have I forgotten to include something? Is there something I forgot in the details? Any suggestions would sure be appreciated please.

Brian that kind of depends on your budget and what your looking to do with the truck? Since so many of the 939 series have been released over the last couple years that has somewhat driven the cost down on the older 800 series trucks, the 800 series would be the 5 ton version of the Deuce. The...
Hello folks I am looking for a quote for picking up a 1950 Dodge Power Wagon in Palm Desert Ca and transporting it to Horace ND. The truck is 21' 10" long 80 inches wide and 92" tall. It starts and drives just fine but there are no loading facilities at either end so your truck would have to...
Hey rumplecat that handle should be no different than all the other ones on our trucks. First disconnect it from the IP and insure that things are lose on the IP end of things then its a matter of putting oil down the sleeve that the wire rides in and keep moving it till it moves freely, it...
I have a 925A1 on singles and it truly is a great truck, especially for the price. The prices mentioned above are very realistic and can easily be found, another benefit of the 939 series over the Deuce is its comfort on the road. If your hauling family or clients etc. around in the truck the...

I used to run my deuce in the winter here in ND and I will share what I have found!
1. block heater for anything below about 30 degrees
2. make sure your starter assist is functional and reliable
3. If your dealing with ICE in your area LOSE THE NDT tires, one patch of ice at a stop light and...
as was mentioned ceramic exhaust paint works pretty well and will last pretty good also! I am in process of removing headers off a vehicle and I am going to powder coat these with a real high temp power coating, it is supposed to work great and withstand very high temps for many years. I am...
Hey guys I cannot say anything about the how and what type of balancing material works with CTIS but I will say that on my M920 with 1600 tires on HEMMIT rims it did the trick very well. I put 48 ounces of EQUAL tire balancing beads into each tire through the valve stem and the truck was very...
Bobbing the truck means that you cut the frame in order to make it shorter! Based on what I have read all you really doing is getting rid of one axle, I think?

Andy the A3 sounds like its running at or darned near it top Governed RPM for that 3116, I wouldn't push anything that is stock past its published limits, remember CAT is very proud of their parts and its going to cost you plenty to get your truck on the road again!

I would say you are most definitely OVER on your tow capacity and the Hummer weighs more than the tow vehicle! Good trailer brakes are going to be a MUST HAVE on this recovery at the very least, I would like it to read " had a great uneventful recovery" and nothing to include the words...
