Thanks Clinto, it was fun. I have a tow bar to return and I think I have a couple of stops to make while I am over that way. The deuce sure draws a lot of attention. I get a lot of what do you want that thing for and I get a lot of thumbs up. Glen

Thanks John, I had a lot of good support and a couple of back up plans. I even had a cheap semi ride home if I needed it. I think we drove through or very close to through Crook City in 2007. That is beautiful country. I want to come back and buy Gene the meal I owe him and make a trip through...

A buddy wanted a ride, so I recruited him to take some photos of the old girl climbing the hill at Coronado Heights.... I took a few around the castle and grounds as well. On the way home we stopped by the Salemsborg Church, what an awesome building!

Awesome hubby you snagged! You are spoiled rotten.....

That truck is beautiful history... both of them!! Glen

Thanks Troy, I was wanting to pick up a filter set, but you were not around. We fried my spares in a hurry. If you sell those lock sets you loaned me, shoot me a PM. You place was a highlight. Very neat projects going on and loads of really nice eye candy to soak up. I hope she keeps running...

I was doing the instant messaging thing with my nitro engine modder from Winnipeg, we were talking about my trip in the deuce. He sent me this link, now I am sure everytime I go down the highway, this will be stuck in my head. Not that it is bad.... 8) Glen

Wow! It is a score! Nice looking truck! We have been talking about a M109 for camping and scouting.....and my addiction....

I am fairly new to deuces, but mine pulled all of the hills between Rapid City and US 81 on I 90 in high gear and all of them between I 90 and Salina Kansas on US 81 in high gear pulling my pickup. From prior diesel experience though, I would agree with everybody else, good filters are very...

I have not tried to get them in it yet, I am off tomorrow though and I will try that one at a time. I would probably need a ramp for the bed. Sir used to have that kind of leaping ability, but he is like me, putting on pounds.... Buddy can run like crazy, but never was one to jump fences or over...

The deuce beat the M1008 this trip. Normally the M1008 gets 14 to 17 mpg, but it had at least one injector go down and it was hurting. I hated to run it that way, but we had to get there. It ran great to Scotland SD, then after I shut down to visit Troy, it was sick. It was running about 9 mpg...

Went through the toolbox and it contains the following. An adjustable jaw wrench, a bottle jack, a short lug socket, the regular long socket for inner and outer nuts, the long bar, a tool bag, a tow bar pin with a chain welded to it, a set of road triangles, a chain, an air gauge, an air line...

I wanted to, I can remember my step grandfather telling me about it years ago. That deuce sure pushes the front tires on slick streets with the CUCV in tow, worse than it does empty. NDTs are scary creatures on snow packed or icy streets! I am sure I will be back that way. I owe Gene and Carol a...

Thanks Jeff, I cannot thank you enough for the use of your tow bar. I was going to try to make something, nothing I could ever dream up would touch that system of yours. I had zero worries about my CUCV back there and it worked flawlessly. Karl and I often spoke about how great that was built...

I did have an ace in the hole. One of my longest running friendships is with a guy that owns a crane company. He has on in Rapid City that needs to be picked up and he made it pretty clear his truck could be there if I had trouble or needed help getting home. My truck could ride with his counter...

If it is that cold out and it has water, it will not drain.... We worked with -10 to low 20's as temperatures on this recovery. I would recommend a generator and a space heater or heat gun at least. I was so lucky in many ways, it was unfortunate, but I was still very lucky. Glen

The Nebraska weigh station was closed south of Hebron and the Kansas line never looked so good as I crossed. When I got to Belleville, I turned west on US 36 for two miles, south on a county road past the Kansas Port of Entry and then back east to US81. I turned south and ran home. Up by...

I ran from Yankton down to Norfolk. I had not added any fuel since Mitchell and I had drained off five gallons of that, so I whipped in and fueled at a Cenex Truck Stop. I added some Power Service and drained the filters, no water here either, hit the road south. It was just getting dark, the...

The first thing I want to do is thank Karl, he not only drove several hundred miles to meet and ride along, he worked like most people just wished their paid employees worked. He was a great asset to my recovery and I can only hope to repay him someday! Karl has a beautiful deuce that he has...

100 dollar fuel filter wrench.... We had a snafu Thursday morning, lets just say I did not have a wrench and had to have a diesel service bring me one to borrow. It costs 76 dollars an hour plus a 20 dollar service call... to have him watch us work. It got us a few miles down the road and she...
