I did not write anything mean spirited. This site champions accuracy and logic. If my observation was incorrect I will stand corrected. But unless I am mistaken, the title of this thread is somewhat misleading. OP for sure had fun, OP for sure got to use some of his very neat toys, OP for sure...

I'm wondering if there are not two different markets. The one is like the folks here that know the military vehicle space. The other is like the dude at the box store mentioned in a previous post. If you are just some normal guy who dropped 60 large on a new pickup truck and who has a place to...

OP, no disrespect intended, but your Deuce did not move squat. It was just a platform for a couple of winches and a snatch block. It could just as well have been an old I beam and length of chain.

I'm amazed at the (low) prices mentioned. That is a lot of truck for not much more than some folks pay for a decent M416 trailer. How can that be? Are they just too big for most people?

Part of me expects that original multifuel M35A2 Deuce and Halfs should be going up in price because they are no longer freely available on the surplus market, and part of me doubts that because so many folks seem to prefer the newer trucks with their Caterpiller engines and automatic...

70 amps at 24 volts equals 140 amps at 12 volts, so do you still need more? BTW your truck is awesome. :)

What is "blue"? Is that a color? I am only familiar with OD and black. ;)

Late to the party it seems. I have a 1944 PE-95 - US version - no cart. I use it regularly when the power is out. I cut the head .040 and that significantly reduced fuel consumption. I was advised that I could have cut it as much as .080. There was .125 above the valves at full lift, stock, so...

Whereabouts exactly is the muster/ rendezvous point? Could you post the Google Maps link? Is there overnight parking if arriving late the day before?

Not a bad idea.

Why would it make any difference? That's another thing I have always wondered about - that diesels have to be left running all the time.

So what is the purpose of the start-up five minutes? To make sure that the oil is warm enough to flow if it was a freezing cold start? So the turbo bearings and seals see only warm oil once the turbo starts spinning fast?

Thanks for the replies and advice. Now I have a variation. Let's say I just want to move my Deuce from here to there, like out of the garage into the driveway sort of thing. Do I need to run it for 10 minutes total? Or can I start it up, move it in low range without pressing the gas pedal, and...

Thanks for the responses so far. I have been using a variant of USAFSS's 'lollygagging' technique. Yes, you can burn up five minutes that way easy. I also, as some have mentioned, will do easy driving - such as pulling out of my garage with the truck in low gear and low range, without touching...

How do those of you that daily drive a Deuce do it? Here's what I mean. The plaque on the dashboard say to idle the engine five minutes after starting before driving, and to let it idle for 5 minutes before shutdown. Ostensibly, this is to let the turbo bearings nicely warm up and cool down...

I guess you can just loosen the outlet from the air compressor to see if anything changes.

GR, are you filtering to under a micron? What is the real deal on running WMO without clogging filters or killing pumps?
