Checked the batteries today & 12.6 v on the rear one, 11.5 v on the front one. Loaded the daily driver with dead batteries & will be headed to Interstate Batteries tomorrow! After installing the new batteries, I will check to make sure that there is no parasitic drain & install a mechanical...

I bought the replacement lens that bolt straight in the old buckets from Amazon, along the the hi-temp pigtails & bulbs. For the Deuce. it was 60/100 watt 24 v bulbs & the LMTV need 90/100 watt 12 v bulbs. The difference in driving @ night is amazing as you can see much better & further out...

I buy batteries for our company @ the local Interstate warehouse, so there will be no problem. They even said to bring old dead batteries for a rebate on each dead battery! I must have @ least 10 sitting around the property!

The batteries take a full (maybe) charge, or @ least till the charger turns off when it senses the batteries are charged. The truck starts a little slower than normal, so I really don't trust the batteries anymore. I'll let them set a week & try again to start the truck & see what gives. It...

A co worker sent me that offering on XX as a joke, said I should bid on it! The winner has to do the EUC thing & then demill the entire bird. Also you are responsible for all fluids, batteries & other EPA regulated hazardous materials clean up! Probably no towing home either!

The LMTV has the original 6TL Hawker batteries & are not a problem. The Deuce has Optima Red Top batteries & that is the truck I am working on, it has never caused me any problems @ all. If the light switch on service stop won't kill the batteries, what would do that so fast to two batteries?

Re: Optima Battery Woes I got an unpleasant surprise a few days ago. Preparing to take the Deuce to work, when turning on the main power switch....no air buzzer & the Ebrake lite was very dim, plus the voltage gauge was very low. It was then that I notice that the lighting switch was on to...

I have one on the back of my Deuce & it is great to be able to load it with a forklift! 10% of production were dropsides, guess I got lucky again!

Mine shows in the middle of the green when I first start it up. After coming up to temp, the needle drops into the yellow area, which makes me wonder what is up. Suprman gave we a test procedure to check it out, but have had no time! The meters are an indicator, not an exact measurement. As...

#1 If they fitted the engine with an ether injector such as the LMTV series is with the 3116 engine, it can't have glow plugs! #2 You canister is probably empty like the rest of us with surplus LMTV's, but you might be the lucky one & have some left! #3 There are dealers who have cases of ether...

What do you need moved, when & where?

Welcome from Florida!

Welcome from North Florida, sounds like there is a lot of fun coming your way with your new to you truck!

Good luck with your new ride. Remember, its going to be hot hot hot during the day, so try to start out early as possible. Check all your fluids & have a spare container of Dot 5 brake fluid. Plenty of water to hydrate you is a must & hearing protection! A fully charged cell phone is mandatory &...

And I thought I had problems. Army mechanic told sarge, "She's all buttoned up & read to go to DERMO" Sarge sees the silicone seal & send her off to be sold off! What a big time pain!

JWade is working on getting all of my issues rectified, so I will wait till he get his magic done & report back here with the results. It is very good that we have him here as a member to help fix Gov Planet issues that can't be fixed in the normal ways. Just don't over whelm him with too many...

Not demilled as in crushed flat or ground up in a metal shear. Now you can't even get a wing fuel tank for a display item intact!

I run Dot 5 in my trucks because they came that way & it was too much work to flush & refill!

At least it wasn't demilled. Now you get to think of what you are going to do with it!

Go visit Suprman & see what he has (I should have) & save on the shipping charges as these things are heavy, 75+ pounds! The manufacturer of my unit is Red Dot & model # is R-5750-1. USPS delivered mine & it was damaged in transit due to being dropped multiple times(it was shipped in the...
