The quote in red is factually inaccurate today. Was true in the 80s though. 700s can be built to handle 450hp and 450#ft torque at a decent price and in excess of 1000HP if you so decide. The 3.06 first gear is a much better choice for the anemic 6.2 or even a turbo 6.5. The .70 OD is also a...

Lane, 2002ford likely has one but I'd bet your a day late on it him bringing it. Good thing though is that he's not too far down the road in Dayton area.

Thats good stuff right there. Thanks Pat for looking out.

Planning is complete. Now in the midst of the gathering phase of a 465 swap in one of the trucks.

Good grief. I think this will be the next event added to my schedule post retirement.

I can give you one example. Collector friend here won't buy tan trucks. Not so much MVs but I won't buy anything black.

If you are not trying to hide bad points with paint, offer it as with the buyers choice of color. The wrong colorncould cost you a sale.

Guess I'm off the reservation on this one. Never owned a fluke, never needed to. Working in the pool business in the 80s I needed something tough and water resistent. The Beckman HD100 was that meter. Been using it ever since.

Is there a logical explanation for the thread title? Nobody will ever find the info in this thread by searching. Thread titles should have the topic of the thread in them.

This has been a refreshing thread to read. I like how the original poster did his due diligence in reasearch and presented the troubleshooting and results of same in the original post. Surely if there was a one word solution to his issue, it would have been posted. Thanks to everyone in this...

Gas powered 5 ton is between 2 and maybe 5 MPG. On the deuce it's between 7 and 9 depending on body and weight. They can really trip people out when you pull up. When running good with the correct exhaust, they are very quiet.

PCtrans may still have a deuce equipped with a factory liftgate. They are out there and very practical.

Let me add this. If you find a decent deal on a good running and driving gasser deuce, don't look away. They are nearly as powerful as a mulit, not as bad on gas and the gasser 5 tons and the engine is 100% industrial. Anyone who has ridden in or drove a good running gasser deuce will confirm this.

I think member BBF has one. Might PM him for some thoughts.

Laymens terms. -10 is the owners manual. -20 (-24) is unit maintenance (do it yourself manual), -34 (-35) is depot maintenance (think dealaer service manual). Manuals ending in P are parts manuals. There are few if anything in the 209 manuals that isn't covered in the 361 manuals. There...

Too many deuce TMs confuse the newer user. All of the deuce TMs with 209 are one series, all of the ones with 361 are a different series. I believe there are between 10 and 12 books in the 209 series and only 5 in the 361 series. Stick with the 361 series until you get comfy with TMs.

Cool thing about an alternator driven tach is now if you add a cable driven tach, you can monitor alternator slip as well as convertor lockup.

Should be fine. Here's one on a gooseneck. They winch up real nice too.

That sounds correct. I can't verify, I'm away from trucks and TMs.

The housing needs to be grounded. All of the APC lights I've encountered had 24V bulbs. You can either switch them to 12V or tap the one 24V fuse in the bottom slot of the fuse box. I have the one in my M1008 running the 24V side.
