I have no idea...and he probably doesn't either. I may be bobbing my other one, so maybe we'll bring both of mine. I'll ask him when I talk to him. Jim

good point M16TY. The ones I've done were all on Cummins, where there is a nice flat place for the shavings to fall.

Any pyros I've installed, I did them with the engine off. I use grease on the tap and drill. Once drilled & tapped, I use a small extendable magnet and fish around for any shavings. Then I use a bent tool (old screwdriver or something) to put down the hole and scrape around the bottom of the...

I'm glad to see a rally being planned! I'm Beaubeau's son, and have two deuces myself. I just asked my wife, and she said she would be up for a weekend of fun. Don't worry, she's not a "chick" girl, she's been 4-wheeling and camping with me before. I'm in northern NH, just north of Berlin, so...

Autos do NOT work well behind a diesel (the exception being the Allison, which is more purpose-built for diesels). Autos require line pressure to work properly- the higher the line pressure, the less chance of slippage (generally speaking). This works well for gas engines- they build power as...

I think the comparisons haven't been 100% fair. Comparing any all-terrain vehicle to an International 4700 (or any other highway truck) isn't fair. Also comparing overall mileage numbers isn't fair. Try comparing the terrain these vehicles spend their days in. If I had to drive lots of miles on...

Greenjeepster, the point I wanted to make is that no matter what we do to build up and repair their country, they won't continue it after we leave. We could build it up to modern standards, and in 5 years, 10 tops, it will be back to a 3rd world poverty-stricken country, because they are a...

I don't use credit cards any more, just debit cards. Credit cards can get people into trouble really fast. Not an evil CC company's fault, you agree to their terms & conditions in advance, and they are there to make money, period. I have had close calls with my debit card while buying through...

My concern with this is that nothing has, or will, change with that country. I would rather send money to Germany, Japan, UK, or many other nations if there was a disaster. They would be devastated, and would need help getting back on their feet, much like us with 9-11, or Katrina...

I'm sure there are no other mechanical issues except the t-case. the front tires roll freely, the truck rolls very well on the street, and it had no issues during the 1100 mile trip home. I'm still chocking it up to all 3 things contributing, and not blaming just the tires- no weight, no front...

My wife laughs at me because I drive this truck everywhere. I had a doctor's appt. last week, I took the Deuce to the hospital...I used the excuse that I had to charge up the batteries. :-) My wife even drove it once, when we went to a friend of hers where she had to do an interview for a school...

Well most of my setback right now is financial. 2 of us living on my wife's part time wages leaves nothing for vehicular funds. I don't even have the money for fittings and hose to finish installing the heater! My Internet finally got fixed today (been down 10+ days) so I can finally list some...

We'll see how it does when I get the t-case swapped. In reply to the last few posts- I dropped pressures as low as 5psi (tried 25, then 10, then 5). The tires aren't old...no older than several years, 2 or 3 years is more like it. This truck had a fairly fresh servicing, and all 7 tires are...

Greenjeepster, did you ever hear back about yours? I very well understand how the long wait can screw you up. I had work to do to mine before selling them, but by the time I was approved, it was too late in the year to prep them for sale (fluids & filters, and other maintenance and minor...

This is my grandson playing in my Deuce right after I took he and his father for a ride. He likes anything that moves, and at a year and a half I couldn't get him off my snowmobile after a short trip up the driveway and back without him crying. On his 3rd birthday he drove an 80cc four wheeler...

I even went as far as checking to make sure both rear axles were pulling, and they are. It doesn't matter whether I slowly let out on the clutch while idling to try for a bit of traction, or get the tires spinning- slow speed or high speed...still no traction. I've driven sports cars that got...

What happened to my other thread? What do i have going here, 2 different threads? I only posted once...strange... Yea, I have the G286. I had posted a reply in the other thread (sorry for the 2 threads...mods can combine please) that I only aired down to get unstuck. You can air down radials...

Well like I said, there are more factors than just the tires, but come on- stuck on nearly flat ground? I'll try it again after swapping t-cases. The biggest issue is that the tires have zero self-cleaning ability. The tread packs with snow and instant slicks. I do realize I went severely low...

I had the opportunity to attempt to drive the Deuce in the snow with the 1100 Goodyear radials, and I have to say I'm less than impressed. O.K., I know I have a lot working against me- the sprag t-case isn't working, so the front tires aren't pulling. The tires are the highway radials, so the...

I would have bought a Honda, they have always been my favorite brand, but they don't offer a street-oriented dual-purpose bike. Their 650 is nice, but is designed for more off road, with narrow seat, more basic instruments, and almost no aftermarket support for touring accessories. The KLR is...
