    Newbie in PA

    Welcome aboard, I'm just about an hour west of you right along I-70 in Ohio. It's a great site with a ton of information. You'll have your MV sooner than you think. I only joined the site in April, and I just made my first vehicle recovery this week. I didn't even intend on buying a truck...

    5kw or 10 kw- is one better than the other?

    Wet Stacking is basically unburned diesel fuel gathering in your exhaust from a liquid cooled diesel not being run up to temperature and burning the fuel completely. If you have a large KW diesel generator and only lightly load it the engine doesn't really get up to the proper temp to burn the...

    Lube trailer is a winner

    Ok Greg, now you have me officially jealous. That is the best looking trailer I've seen. I'll bet you've even got lavarok's trailer beat with all of the goodies. I should have told Mike I was picking it up for you while I was there, we could have loaded it into the back of the Stone Wagon and...

    5kw or 10 kw- is one better than the other?

    cranetruck the MEP-003a (the 10KW unit) weighs in at about 1200 dry. maddog, I have two of the 10KW units and both run great. I have to agree with BKubu, more power is better. As long as it's one of these air cooled generators you're fine. If it was a liquid cooled set I would highly advise...

    Deuce Recovery Scheduled...

    Good luck to you. If you haven't already read it, read about my adventure here...Speddmon's recovery. What ever you do, make sure your transmission is no more full than one to two knuckles down from the fill plug...DO NOT have the fluid up to the plug threads. It's also a good Idea to post...

    Deuce newby with questions????

    It sounds to me like you're just trying to get me in trouble with the little woman. She made me promise to keep it within a tri state area. That's kind of what I thought about the speedo, I just wanted a second opinion. Has anybody ever rebuilt their compressor?

    Deuce newby with questions????

    I thought of another question I was wanting to ask. I noticed right off the bat when we left the base the speedo wasn't working, however on the way home I noticed that the odometer was still racking up miles. Since there is only one cable going into the speedo, does this mean that the speedo...

    Deuce newby with questions????

    Hey all, Today I started looking over the deuce a little better and took out the 6tl's and put them on the charger. I also drained the air tanks. I drained them one time on the recovery trip, when I stopped to work on the clutch. Probably about 300 to 350 miles into the trip, out of 750. At...

    recovery complete!!!!

    drgreg, The wife made me promise...no more recoveries like that. I'm supposed to keep it to the tri-state area from now on. I guess with a wife that cool, I can honor her wishes. Do you really think I need to pull the tranny, or can I get by with just cleaning the bell housing really really...

    recovery complete!!!!

    South on I-39 to Bloomington, then 74 east to Indianapolis, IN. There was NO WAY I was going through Chicago. One time in the car was enough for me for a lifetime.

    recovery complete!!!!

    Well, First off let me say thank you to drgreg for all of the help and being my point man, with steel soldiers on the way back. And thanks to the rest of the guys who offered help and advice with the clutch problems. We got onto Fort McCoy at about 0730, and I met Mike. To me, Mike seems like...

    What type of diesel on these?

    Bill W, It's engine is actually the Onan DJF model. The DJC has a 3.25 inch bore and the DJF has a 3.5 inch bore. The MEP's have the 3.5 inch bore. Both of my units have the metal tag on the fan cover beside the oil filter with the model number DJFM...I have to assume the "M" stands for...

    Want to buy an M35A2 at GL

    Welcome aboard, I don't have a lot to add to the discussion other than read, read and read some more. I'm picking up my first one from GL on Monday the 22nd. I can honestly say I knew nothing about the deuce before I started reading on this site. They are a great bunch of guys on here, very...

    What type of diesel on these?

    It's hard to say what they go for. A lot depends on the location where it's sold, how many people want it more than you is a big one. You can definitely get a better deal if they are selling a lot of them at one time, probably 50 or more. When I bought mine they were selling 150 of them in...
