It sounds just like it should... Very period correct (I know the answer is lame, but it is hard to describe!!!) If you look on my youtube video you can see her (spotless) sister perched on top of the left fender. I planned to have an audio recording going simultaneously to the light show, but...

Just found and bought this off ebay. This is exactly the same siren as the one on my deuce fire truck. There is one difference, it does not have a spot light on the front. This siren is brand new... in its box... I bought one, and had my financial conditions been better, I would have jumped on...

I had been working on most of my auxiliary systems of my deuce fire truck thinking that my core (or mechanical) heart was good to go. As I was leaving my shop, I tried to get it into low gear ... just to try it... It would not go... in fact all it would do was grind a bit as I tried to put it...

I have done a bit more research and have noticed that my problerm is between my knee and the steering wheel. I guess I have a long lower leg and when I pull up to apply the clutch or the brake, my knee hits the steering wheel way before I can put my foot on the pedal. The brake pedal is not so...

Thanks and will do

We have a very low hour/mile M818 Tractor w a winch that is cherry. If I were to put a pickup bed on it, it would probably one of the best go anywhere 6x6 . Has anybody attempted such a venture with an M818? Would have to reinvent the wheel, only to see one pass me by at the next MV rally...

I will be doing a hub flip on my deuce and thought thta this may be the ideal time to bring the bearing and braking system up to as new spec or better. My initial plan was to remove all wheel cylinders, rubber howses, master cylinder and air pumps for either replace or rebuild. I would also...

you know, after hours of trying to make sense of the geared lug wrench, I came accross this on this site...Makes a lot more sense now!! Thanks

My M818 runs like a sewing machine, has more power than... well my deuce... but, and it is a big, for me to apply the cluch or the brake, I have to pull my legup to the pedal... I guess a few falls from my bike (Indial Chief... 1947 makes my hip flexibility very limited. That being said, when I...

Any events coming up in late 2009 or early 2010 in South/Central Florida? Would like to drive over to a rally or a meet in South/Central Florida with my deuce and a half fire truck. Thanks

Will it make my trck go faster??? Well yeah??? What kind of question is that... mush faster ...specially if I fire off the sirens and I am going backwards... Going forward may be a different story... probably slow it down just a tad:-D!!!

Glad you like!!! If you take a closer look at the video, you may notice that it is in the middle of a wood recycling yard... in fact the sound you hear in the background is the whisper of one of our Diamond Z wood grinders with 800+HP of Caterpillar happiness. We had a nasty fire there about 7...

Oh Yeah! M35A2 Deuce and a Half Fire Truck Lights and strobes-still a work in progress... thought some may want to check out this deuce ... not done... and just found out my transfer case is sol... still checking it out, but looking for a replacement... works OK in high, but in low... it...

HMMM ... yeah... Deuce Fire truck almost done... 46 Indian Project almost done... HMMM Hmmmm ... My dog is looking worried that he will be sharing the dog house... I have a cherry 818 that shivers as I walk past it... maybe it knows the future? If I don't do it, it is because it is too cherry...

Thanks for the compliments... I would really like to see the pics... I always thought volunteer fire depts did something special thanks again There is just something about a fire truck, and it's a deuce. How cool is that!!! My Grandad started the Parker Voulnteer Fire District along with...

Regarding your dogs... I have a friend that has a couple of dals... (beautiful dogs you got there BTW) and he tells his missus that they need to climb over my deuce... because it is in their blood??? whatever... it is cool with me, and next time he brings them by, I will take pics... they do...

Well, MY Deuce and a Half 530B fire truck is just about to hit the streets with the fire fighting system being updated, lights being repaired and also "enhanced" and the sirens and interior all brought up to snuff. I just found a 3 piece 36 foot ladder that will complete the top of my truck and...

Well ... I guess a little knowledge is a bad thing.... I was testing snatch blocks and pulleys and... darn if I did not get the cable bound up on the spool... any tricks to getting this sucker loose? I am nudging it with an excavator... but would really not want to break anything... cable is...
