Redarc 24V Brake controller adaptor (EB24A) - eBay (item 360130626954 end time Jul-04-10 14:24:00 PDT) Edit: Another example I found, this one in Europe: http://shop.prolux-systemtechnik.com/v52/index.php?dbc=bf23426fdaeedfab197b52ec29dbce61&page=1753&productNo=102693&pageType= Jim

Instead of the rube-goldberg setup, why not just get a 24v to 12v trailer brake controller? They are out there, you just have to pay a little extra shipping...they are fairly common in Australia, for example, where both 24v and 12v vehicles are common. Jim

The biggest problem you are going to have is between the dually tires in the rear. I don't know what the spec is, but I would keep at least 1" between the tires, probably should be more. When you put the tires on the truck and add weight, they will bulge. They also move a bit when cornering...

Hndrsonj, I did mention the legality of it in my post. It's the final answer to the question; if it's not legal in his state and something happens, whether it's even his fault or not, he would be screwed. I don't doubt the Deuce can handle a 10k lb. trailer with a driver with experience. I've...

Some of us (O.K., I'm not THAT young) understand it enough to know part of the problem is also the people who manage to get on Social Security in their 20's and never get off it. I know of a guy here in town who worked less than a year, then got on SS for anxiety and will be on it the rest of...

Actually, if they were driving MVs, they had some...recent tests have shown that CARC gives off testosterone radiation in small amount. The more you drive green iron, the more you absorb, even the females. Jim

Both rockers are rusty, especially the driver's side. Both rear fender areas are rusty. Bottom front of the driver's front fender has a hole. Even the rear bumper has a rust hole on the driver's side. Because of the rust alone that truck would never go on the road in NH without serious body...

I did the same thing, the weather didn't stop me, it just made me grumble under my breath. I did the same thing when I was looking for components for my Grumman camper conversion. Some of the items I bought new off ebay because either I didn't want used (cushions for the dinette table/bed, and...

Like many have said, the limiting factor are the brakes. You would THINK it would be safe, considering the Deuce is rated for a 10k payload in the bed, but if you did that you would want to be VERY careful. In the end, I would say it depends on your state's laws about trailer brakes, your...

I sent an e-mail to the seller, and tried to make it sound like I was a concerned party who just wanted to point out a little inaccurate info in his ad. I politely pointed out several mistakes and told him it was a nice looking truck. He replied a couple hours later, all full of himself about...

I know what you mean. I'm unemployed but take on any side jobs I can find. So far every side job has been when its either 15 degrees in an unheated barn, or 90 degrees with high humidity. We've had some beautiful weather...when I haven't had work to do. Unfortunately no money to be able to enjoy...

And for every report put out by oil companies, there is an opposing report put out by environmentalists telling how great ULSD is and why sulfur should be reduced to nothing. I'm not an engineer but I have gone to school to be a technician. I also am a diesel enthusiast, and I try to do what's...

The lockup feature is for both economy and to reduce heat in the transmission by reducing slippage. To understand what a lockup torque converter does, you have to understand how one works. Although not quite 100% accurate because of the principals of turbines, this is a very close explanation...

There are parts of the pump that are only lubricated by the fuel. that is why the Multifuel manual (as well as dash plate) recommends against running 100% gas. You need a certain amount of lubricity in the fuel for not only the pump, but also the injectors that are mechanical. Jim

In any of my normal size tanks (20 gal or so) I try to put a quart of motor oil in (new, used...doesn't matter) per tank. For a Deuce I'd put a couple quarts in. No measurement is necessary...they love motor oil and trans fluid, just dump some in and run it. It doesn't take a lot to give...

rofl :cookoo: Gotta love it. Has he been smoking some of the crop??? Jim

See if you can find any data plates on the engines themselves. The paint on those trucks look like they could have been fleet trucks. If so, its not uncommon for fleets to be repowered to update the trucks. Only engine data plates will tell for sure. Jim

The electronic version of a TH400 would be the 4L80E. There are stand-alone controllers for them which require no other modifications to use the electronic transmission. The 4L80E also has overdrive, which would be a benefit for economy and highway cruising. Combined with a lockup torque...

I wish I could have gotten my hands on a clean military Willys when they were cheap. Most of them got bought up by farmers and others who just cut them up to use the engines for farm equipment and power units. Near where I used to live there is an old sawmill that has the front clip of an MB...
