    Deuce Battery Options?

    Up to a point, you are correct. I have seen fires started from a kinked three wire cable to an electric stove. If bending it makes things go funky then the problem is most likely attributed to a poor crimp on the terminal.

    New rust protection for deuce this year

    m35a2 Battlefeild repair kit

    In a true battle, the truck would be abandoned if it didn't contain anything mission critical. Other times they just tow them back to base.

    And the wife rolls her eyes again.

    Hopefully at least one of them will run. If not, maybe I can get one to run from them both. First thing is to convert them to 12 v.

    And the wife rolls her eyes again.

    Just won TWO M1009's from GSA. Got a great price for them, too, one for $405 and the other for $602. The wife just rolled her eyes and said, "Oh, goody." Funny thing is that she didn't sound all that excited. Hmmm, I'll have to think about that.
