    Does your deuce smoke at all at idle?

    i would run the wee out of it first, then set the throttle control for 1200 rpm. no ideling while waiting. then i'm thinking that maybe running the fuel level in the tank down and adding a fair amount of gas or kero to the diesel to dilute down the ( oileyness ) of the diesel just for the...

    Spin on oil filter kit

    Wish there was a filter availble in a smaller micron rating like the first two on the list, but with a larger can size and better avalibility. but regardless of manufacturer sounds like no one has had any negatives with the conversion.

    If worse comes to worse, and you can let the truck sit for a few days, I have 200' of 5/8" cable&hook off of my 5 ton winch I got that you could have( ups is on you though) Then you could utilize the self recovery method. An offroad recovery by a big truck towing company will leave you crying...

    Motor Carrier Inforcement in Michigan

    That radius is suits me just fine for the deuce, my pick- up I just run regular plates to avoid any hassles. However I believe I can go outside that radius, with proper log book. I would have to reread the Manuel. But by the time I do that the laws will probably change again.

    Need size on fuel line

    Not meaning to rant and rave: but air line connections are stupid. Push lock,compression,hose clamp all fine for short term but not super reliable. most of our air lines are even hyd lines. ( simply if a 50 psi air clutch on an overhead winch leaks/fails someone will probably get killed) Have I...

    Need size on fuel line

    Air line will work fine But IMO hyd much better ( more $ though) it's petroleum safe, many forms of chemical resistant, abrasion resistant, crush resistant, can handle much much more heat, some brands are fire resistant, most brands are capable of 2000 psi or a lot more, You do have to change...

    Sand dunes....

    I have two approaches, very long steep grades where you know you'll run out of power- low range 1st gear and tease the throttle to maintain forward progress. It's amazing that the ndt's will bury themselfs to the rim and still inch ahead. Or get a running start at the hill- lets say your in low...

    Sand dunes....

    With your tires aired down, you can climb sand hills. At camp Grayling this year i climbed some hills that cucv's couldn't make. And managed to climb a very long grade following Ted G's humvee ( my deuce was just a lot slower doing it) I latter tried some of these hills with my 05 Chevy pick-up...
