when you get back PM me and we'll talk about plans for your trailer

Hammer, can the 2-12v chargers be hooked up like normal with no "isolating" diode or anything between the batteries? I thought about using 2 12s but I was worried about the circuitry of the charges "sensing" the voltage from the 2nd battery.

I must have forgot to tell you, I got the EUC on the 29th, but my chase driver had plans for Wednesday so I couldn't make it. I thought I sent you a PM

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm really getting anxious to make this recovery. I have it set up for the 22nd at 0700. I talked to Mike at McCoy and he said the truck came in around January and was driven in, so it's not been sitting for an excessively long time. I'm hoping that the brakes...

Good luck guys, I hope you have a safe and uneventful trip!!!

The amp clamp sounds like a good idea, is long as it's sensitive enough to pick up whatever leakage current you're seeing. Find each ground and meter each one to find your current. It's still a ton of work but better than tearing everything apart.

Hello all, I've been reading a lot of posts preparing to do my recovery in Sparta, WI here in a few weeks. I've read through the -10 TM and read, then read more, and finally read even more posts about the deuce. I've done a lot of searching but there are 2 nagging questions in the back of my...

I'm not real familiar with the electrics on these machines yet as I haven't picked mine up yet, but I do remember reading a post about several people leaving their deuces sit for a few weeks without chargers only to find out the batteries are dead. That leads me to believe that it's not just...

The gentleman in question wasn't trying to hook up a farm service. He did want to mount the meter base right on the side of the garage. AEP WILL NOT DO THIS! It seems you are very well versed in the NEC and dealing with your local utilities, but it's a little different for every utility. The...

Welcome aboard. This is a really great site and full of wonderful information and good helpful people.

swbradley1, Don't feel too bad, I have a friend from work who lives just outside of Canton, OH. They have AEP power up there. His neighbor wanted to do something very similar to what I did. Meaning he build a nice garage on some property he just bought. Hoping to have the garage up and have...

Oh, wise and wonderful Carnac, I recently purchased an M35A2 and would like to know some history of the truck. Please if you can. a. Serial Number: 052513452 b. Registration Number: 04j24870 c. NSN without dashes: 2320000771616 d. Where you bought it: Ft McCoy, Sparta, WI e. Bumper numbers...

That is not necessarily the case. The permit requirement is dependent on what state you live in. The only time I am required to pull a permit is for a service change. If i'm only adding circuits, or doing minor modifications there is no requirement to pull a permit. Heck, I live way out in...

That looks like a really nice truck. Enjoy it! I can't help with any of your questions mostly because I'm still waiting to pick up my first one. Plus I'm on the wrong side of the country to help out. But good luck and welcome aboard!

Welcome both of you, enjoy this great site...I sure do

The napa numbers are good valid numbers, they may just have to order them for you. I doubt you'll find anybody stocking just the o-ring gaskets you'll need. I have learned that when you're dealing with military surplus equipment as a civilian, you need to plan ahead for even the smallest job...

I'm no expert by any means, but the way I understand the deuce brakes is that they are hydraulic with an air assist, similar to but more complicated than, the vacuum assist in a regular car. If the pedal goes to the floor but comes back after the first pump, it sure sounds like air in the...

Now your getting down to semantics...what you described is in fact, in layman's terms "a manual transfer switch". "A rose by any other name..." That was a very informative post, and I'm sure it will help many members with their choices in the future. I guess what it boils down to is simply...

Welcome. This site should have all of this information you'll ever need to find about your deuce.

Welcome Aboard. There is a ton of good information on this website and the people are super friendly. When I was thinking about buying, I had a few offers of test drives from local MV owners in my area. And they are all absolutely correct, this hobby is addictive!!!!
