Yes sir it was. I know to check and ensure the transfer is in neutral prior to towing.

Nah, He's not too late. I tried to start it yesterday to no luck. I think it's got trash in the fuel lines or tank selector valve though. I opened the petcock's on both the fuel filter and the petcock just behind the fuel filter and pressurized the tank and still could not get fuel to flow. It's...

I knew this truck would go high, where in the world will you find an all wheel drive Detroit powered road tractor? Pretty tough combo to beat.

Well, It's not being recovered for battle but it does need to leave a GL lot. I'm going to try and get it running and let it tow the Deuce behind it but if that's a no go, I've got to get it off of the base this afternoon. Swapping the tow hook would probably be about as easy as dropping the...

Will I damage the axles on a M818 by towing the truck 20 miles in reverse? The reason I ask, the towing connection on the driver's side front is broken. If need be, I can pull one of the hooks off of the rear and attach it to the front bumper but I'm trying to get the truck down the road after...

Digging up an old thread but I got to see this monster truck today along with James and Travis while they were dragging an M817 out of Albany. It made my deuce appear like a John Deere Gator in comparison. Very nice conversion and James mentioned he kept all of the parts to restore it back to...

I replaced all the batt's with known good hawker agm's, I hooked the slave vehicle through the slave receptacle and it's tied directly into the battery wires. The only thing I get when turning the ignition switch to start is a thump from the protective control box, no thud from the starter.

Trying to recover an M818 today and failed miserably. I put good batt's in, hooked a slave vehicle to it, turned on the battery switch which provoked the air buzzer, went to start and nothing. I am getting a click from the protective control box and the voltage is dropping maybe 2 volts...

Do you have the TCU that goes under the driver's side rear seat? I can probably find the wiring diagrams, let me know where you are at on this project as you certainly need the TCU to make it work. (Transmission Controller Unit)

Check brakes!!! Bring a set of known good batteries (you might burn up the alternator trying to charge batteries that have likely been dead for who knows how long), bring a way to fill up low tires (I use a hose that hooks into the rear emergency air gladhand), Oil/Antifreeze/Gear Oil, check...

Not for the weak of heart. I decided to fix my new spare since my good spare got placed on the rear axle. That wasn't an easy job either but back to the point. If you want to break down a Deuce rim and pull the tire off, it's a job in itself. First, make sure you break the bead down. If you...

I've got one titled in GA for sale that will be alot more promising than what you're trying to bid on at GL. This truck starts and runs on it's own and doesn't have a rod hanging out of the side of the block like some that go for auction. GL is a gamble and sometimes you win, sometimes it's...

I've got 3 to fix currently. I lost the last one to a bone of some sorts trying to hit the turn around and park it in the yard. The truck had one flat on recovery but it was on a dual tire axle so I let it slide. Now the inner just behind it is flat as well as one of the tires on my truck...

I'll have to tell them that mine's went through the crusher!!! Maybe that story will float.

My 5143 truck is sitting in the front yard. No e-mail from GL either and it had a paper in the windshield that said FMS Freeze.

The LDS has a small canister underneath the turbo to actuate the waste gate. The air filter will still be under the hood in the deuce. I've only driven 1 deuce with an LDS and you'll know it has one because it will pull like there's no tomorrow in any gear. My local guard unit has one and...

I've got a truck that has it mounted by u bolts where the ring mount would go on the driver's side behind the cab in case anyone is still wondering. According the the markings, they did this in Apr of 07'. Truck might have went across the pond for all I know. I'll send the number's to CARNAC...

Alternator has survived the abuse. I cranked it up a few minutes ago, disconnected the negative for a few seconds and all systems stayed powered up and the voltmeter was in the green. I think the dead battery just worked the alternator too hard and it went into thermal protection mode. Seems...

Just the hardtop and the shift boots. I didn't notice a battery warmer kit or extra insulation when I changed the batteries today. I need to get the number's over to CARNAC so he can tell me where this truck came from before it made it to Robins. The heater is awesome but it may be too much...

Just picked up another Deuce today. Kaiser Jeep M35A2 WO/W, Hardtop and Artic Heater. It didn't have bedsides in the pics but they along with a good cargo cover were waiting for me in the bed to put onto my first truck. The GL rep slaved it off and away we went. The batteries were dead and I...
