The part that potentially sees high voltages is the regulator (mechanical energy goes in but no current flows out). I am not an expert on the mil spec alternators. A regular 12V car alternator is "expected" to survive being run without being connected to the batteries. Disconnecting the wires...

A knuckle boom is immensely practical to have. That one looks like a good size for the Deuce. As long as you can reach the rear of the bed and still have ok lift capacity. Are you going to shift the bed to the rear or shorten it?

Thanks for measuring and referencing! Yes, as I mentioned, level to the bed sides with river wash gravel I weigh in with about 6 metric tons load (slightly under). That is 12k lbs. It would put the truck just over the data plate load for highway use. I find that with a good hump in the middle...

David Matthews, if you plan to use the truck for your shop, and it doesn't have a winch, yet, then I would agree that a heavy duty electrical winch might be the better choice. Why? Because when people other than yourself drive this truck, they will be able to use the electric winch safely. The...

Ditto to the PTO winch. Use the correct aluminum shear pins (not a grade bolt). Your truck looks good! They put a 90 degree elbow already for the air intake cap (aka mushroom cap), that is a good modification. It looks largely unmolested (no bed sides cut etc.). Any questions.....this site has...

Your truck says "Mess with me...and you'll be sorry!". Love the double bumper with the push pads! I relegated my tow bar to the front of the bed in a clamp. I never use it...just want to have it, in case. I can toss it off the dropside bed by myself and lug it to the front. By that time, I am...

A few comments. - the "Chinese" 2 hole injector nozzles were looked at and tested by someone very knowledgeable on this site and given a clean bill of health. The quality was there. These are injector nozzles. They need precise machining and tight tolerances for the holes but they are not a...

FWIW, I ordered the kit from Wolverine last year and got excellent service and all my questions answered. Maybe I was lucky....or they are a somewhat distracted outfit.

What is that last one from? It is one heavy suck*r and I never really found out where it was used. I have one of these.

You bled the airpack first, I assume, then the wheels? Do the brakes themselves work as they should? If so, it could be simply the pedal itself needing adjusting.

Yes, THAT is how things happen around here! Very nice score, by the way, says a fellow w/w and dropside owner!

Filled level to the top of the sides I get about 6 tons into the bed. With a hump in the middle, a bit more. So, you are looking at 30-plus loads. Pushing the gravel off manually with a rake is doable, especially on a "C" with dropsides. However....doing it for30 loads...no, thanks! Get an...

After three failed TruckLite LED sets I purchased "7'' Round 120W CREE LED Headlight Hi/Lo Beam Fit 97-17 Jeep JK TJ LJ Wrangler" on a well known auction site for less than $70 for the pair. They fit exactly, look good and are super bright. No complaints! Adapting the harness was easy -...

Good job, sir! She's alive!

That is a cool solution. Because my brain is weird, I was thinking "You can use that as an air brake in case you need to slow down!". Don't pay attention.

You know you are NOT a redneck if a friend towed your truck. It could have involved a garbage can on a couple 2x4 duct taped to the frame to sit on and a really airy ride, out in the open, being deafened by the multi without a stack!

Are you positive it was crankcase oil? Could it have been gear oil? A well filled/over filled transmission might never get hot enough around town or on shorter drives, but can puke oil when it gets really warm on a highway run. I had a very similar experience, with oil slobber on the side of my...

Not affiliated with Kublos, just bought parts, but spoke to a guy who did and he mirrored what Ajax MD said. Kublos serviced and fixed the truck prior to pickup and even retrieved it and replaced the IP that went bad on the drive home. They "feel" trustworthy.

Unfortunately, "assembled in the USA" just means the parts have been put into a box in the USA. The parts are likely made in Asia.

A crane will never reach far enough or lift enough and a winch will never be powerful enough - that is a law of nature. So, I think you are doing the right thing by putting the highest capacity winch on it that you can get/can afford. The part that I have not seen addressed is safety. Using the...
