I have towed an M105a2 trailer & an M353 trailer with a 20" height pintle on a Toyota Tacoma with no problems except the bouncing on the M353. The M105a2 pulls like a dream & stops with no problems if you watch road conditions. The M353 has a tongue weight of 370#s so it will lower your truck a...

I brought my Deuce to work to make sure she was running right after the 500 mile trip in February. She still is running like a sewing machine @ all speeds with no more missing that just popped up & went away during the trip! The weather is great for the morning ride in & the afternoon ride home...

Now you make me want to do some serious measuring for fitment of the S250 to this trailer! Thanks for the mental jog!

I have seen a wrench dropped on a battery in a car, the battery top exploded, spraying acid everywhere. Never would I place anything metallic across battery terminals, even a dead battery; this was a repeated story from a 70 year old man 25 years ago. You know how some older folks like to tell...

I remember an oldtimer told me that you could take an almost dead battery & short the terminals with a large wrench till there was no power left (yes I know it is dangerous). Then you reverse the charge on the terminals & have a serviceable battery. No, I never did it because it seemed to be...

They are also outfitted with a MICLIC unit to deal with minefields!

I have one of those trailers like yours to pull with the Deuce, does yours bounce when you pull it over 35 mph?

I'll try this on a 24v 4hn battery that won't hold a charge, but can be charged up & used for a one time deal!

Welcome from North Florida & you have moved to a place where military vehicles are welcome, along with other fun stuff! Sorry for the double post, but you get the idea! :-D

Hello & welcome from N Florida. You may well find out how tolerant your wife is when you bring home your first vehicle, if you are lucky, she will like it also!

I had a claim/dispute with GL last year. They asked for documentation & other proof of issues that I furnished. After a few days, I got a phone call from them stating that they agreed that there was a problem on their part & resolved the issue completely. Not all claims turn out that cut &...

If you check/drain all three on a regular basis(pre driving check), you will have an idea that things are going as designed or you have a side of the road problem! Checking the water separator/filter is a must every time before you start the truck according to the TM's!

My ex tried that move & that is why she is an ex, nothing had value unless it was sold & she got the $$$$! Some other fool has that payment book now!

A deeper pan would allow more oil to be added, but the level would be the same as long as the dipstick housing remained the same. I would rather have a little bit more oil capacity, than less. Don't ask me how I know!

Okay, this morning I went out & cranked up the genset on the "ol dead battery". It cranked with no hesitation, so I let it run for 30 minutes under 40% load. The battery voltage at about 26.50v & was down to 24v after 15 minutes of running, so this tells me that the internal battery charging...

Welcome from Florida! Pictures, remember pictures, we all love pictures!

Welcome to the addiction, as you will see, it is alot of fun. Adding a turbo to it shouldn't be that expensive or hard to do it you decide there isn't quite enough power under the hood!

Same problem here, original military filters were in the truck when I bought it & drove it home 430 miles. After that it started missing due to extremely clogged filters & bypassed water filter. Changed the filters & scrubbed the canisters clean, back to running as before. This last 450 mile...

Picked up the battery an hour ago, but the counter guy would not let me see it till he took it out to the truck. Once there, I pulled off the box top & it is the correct battery with two bags of screw on caps & yellow tape on the cell tops. After asking if it has acid in it, he says of course...

I did all the research from here on the battery problem before deciding to go back the single battery route. $185.00 was the worst case price imagined, not $285.00. After a bit of discussion with the sales guy, they gave me an industrial account price since I buy all our NAPA supplies for the...
