    Flat Towed an M35A2 from Davis Monthan to Phoenix

    I think the tow bar you are using is to long and that can give towing problems and I looked at the pics again and myself do not like twisting load chains to take up slack. Correct ends so that the chain can never come loose and very little slack how I use to rig my tows. Even the tow manual...

    Too quick on the "bid now" button??

    Thought some of the older trucks had ground problems and just by taking the four quick locks off the dash panel and retighten them would fix the problem. Eodcudto you just have byers panic, relax think you will find it that it will not take that much to fix as there is not that much to the...

    They tried to kick my truck out of the neighborhood!

    Agreed much over the top. Check up from the neck up is in order.

    Need heavy tow bar from GA rally

    I would say if you don't tow the big stuff and stick with 809 939 or the Deuce you are better off with the Med. The heavy bar is to long in my book as even the TM calls to keep the bar short.

    Flat Towed an M35A2 from Davis Monthan to Phoenix

    I like the Med tow bar and try and keep it short as per TM and my own liking. I believe you are trying but with that long tow bar and long chains if the tow does not hit your truck it will be one lane over trying to pass you. Control is a elusion but the brown streak in you shorts is for real...

    Flat Towed an M35A2 from Davis Monthan to Phoenix

    There was a thread where someone made the fitting for the air pack so we could apply the brakes on the Deuce but I can't find it. The reason I say this is if you recall about me telling you that you could cage all the brakes on a 939 series and still tow safely because we still had service...

    Flat Towed an M35A2 from Davis Monthan to Phoenix

    You don't worry about no service air line to apply the brakes on the Deuce. Myself would worry more about the 6 tons pushing that 5 ton into a jack knife if things got bad and believe me the Deuce will push that 5 ton azz right around in the right conditions. I have never had a problem with the...

    Caps and plugs

    Yea I am looking for the same. I think the problem is some of the lines are the copper flair end and outside threads and some might be Ferrell compression ends with straight threads. If they just would have used inverted flair it would have been easer to cap. Right now I just leave the whatever...

    Split shift transfer lever extension

    Yea some of my trucks have no problem shifting the transfer case and some as you said easy slip and slide. I try not to down shift but just let off well in advance and just make the correct down shift to the gear that carries me through the turn. To me first gear is a deep reduction and used...

    Split shift transfer lever extension

    Yea Ron when I drive the 816 I do run out all low range gears starting in second to help get her moving and reduce stress. I have a non overdrive trans for the 5 ton but just have not wanted to swap it out and give it a try.

    Split shift transfer lever extension

    I don't think I like the added advantage as it might be harder on the synchros. I never force the leaver but take the time and wait or even giggle it into high range. I also with and empty truck Deuce or 5 ton start in second low then 2 high and just run it out to 5th. I don't like putting the...
