    Have any of you guys put dual fuel tanks on a deuce?

    I am thinking that 100 gap or so of fuel would be nice. Other than bolting the 2nd tank on, what else would be required?

    Which would make a better bobbed rig?

    Which truck would make a better bobbed rig, assuming moderate off road driving plus 60 mph highway driving? We live at 7500 ft. elevation, so there would be a lot of up and down canyon driving in the snow. Thanks. 1. 2001 939 5 ton Cummins NTC engine 250 Alison trans super singles...

    Which is the most trouble free engine?

    The bottom line: nobody makes hubs for a 5 ton??

    Fuel consumption with 14.5-20s

    I am curious what kind of change in fuel mileage you guys have seen with with 14.5-20 tires or 395s installed. Also, do the new tires cause enough extra tire circumference that changing gear ratio would be appropriate, like we do on lifted Jeeps and pickups? Thanks!

    new guy from Utah

    Hi All, looks like a great forum here. In the next couple of years I hope to get a bobbed deuce, bobbed 5 ton, or M818 with on set of wheels gone and a bed installed. Super singles of course! :grin:
