    back home with the deuce! but that light switch..

    Lance; That trip sounded like my first trip with 'Storm except change the light switch to the expen$$$ive fuel pump. Check out my conversion on the horn/light circuit I posted this spring and that should help you with that problem. Remember more pics, pics, pics!

    Turbo

    WE; I'd play it safe and get a turbo from Saturn Surplus. Unless you have experience in packing a turbo and sealing it properly your better off buying one.

    Hi-Lift jack under axles?

    Guys; I use the "Truck Club" and wrap the chain around the club for a little extra deterrent. Plus I take the starter button with me and shut off power to the batteries too.

    Hi-Lift jack under axles?

    MM; R 4X4 has it right. Get a 12 ton jack for these Deuces. Remember, they're overengineered. So you need a jack that is more powerful than the truck is heavy to be sure you can change a tire or whatever. I too have a BII kit in the truck but prefer my 12 ton jack in normal use.

    congratulations Desert Rat

    MM; Thank you very much! That is a big surprise! My business partner and I are still working on our plans to have a first rate service center specifically for Deuce and 5-ton trucks. Right now we have the oversized garage built but are still working on all the parts and equipment we need. We...

    air shift or not- is there a year cut off?

    MM; On a further note, improperly adjusted sprags have a nasty tendancy to engage the transfer case at high speeds and kill 5th gear. I'm not interested in taking chances so I dropped the front drive shaft from my truck and I'll wait to get the air shift that I want. She was originally...

    M756A2 Pipeline Maintenance Truck

    I've delt with Oshkosh before. Nice people to do business with. I got a 5-ton from them for a coal mining operation out of Kentucky. I delivered it personally the same day I got it from Oshkosh. That was a long 14 hour trip. I wish I had another 5-ton just like it. She had a Mack motor and...

    do you think this is the LDS to buy

    Outlaw; I'm headed over there next week. Shall I try a sneak peak for you? It's remanned, so it looks good from my monitor. However, y'know nothing beats a personal inspection.

    Instrument Lights

    DS; Is R 4X4 refering to a bulb or year born when he's talking about 1864? Check that birth certificate <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_lol.gif" alt="LOL">!!!!!!!!
