    HMMWV Utility Truck

    I saw this in my travels and had to take a picture. I work on truck mounted man lifts for a living and had never seen one mounted on a HMMWV. I was told there were 12 built. We actually did an inspection on it for the guy and it appeared to be put on by the boom MFG. At first sight I thought...

    M816 Wrecker Won't Start

    I have had the truck for 3 years. I put batteries in it from the get go. It started on it's own a few times, but mostly I have always had to hook slave cables up and jump start it. Now it just clunks when I try to start it. I pulled starter and starter shop said it needed a solenoid. I had them...

    Scrapped One Out

    Hated to do it, but I came to the realization that this project was a looser. Rotten cab & bad trans. Not worth the time and money to bring back to life.

    Progression of an EUC

    So after the website is updated by a GL employee to say "EUC sent to Battle Creek", what happens? If you call GL to find out what is taking so long you are basically told to sit and wait. How is the EUC sent to Battle Creek? I would imagine email. How do we know the email did not get lost...

    Multi Fuel

    So I am selling a Deuce and the guy interested in it asked me if the Multi Fuel works on it. I said, what do you mean? I forget his exact response, but he made it sound like there was a Multi-Fuel "Valve" or adjustment on the IP. Am I wrong, or does it burn as a Multi-Fuel all the time? Some one...

    Rear Passengers

    I searched the Forums but found nothing. Anyone have any incidents with the authorities regarding having passengers in the rear of your Deuce. I have recently let my older kids and adults ride in the back on the fold down benches and I am just waiting for someone to say it's unsafe or illegal. I...

    Recent Recovery

    Yesterday I went to pick up my new RV at Willow Grove Naval Air Station in PA. When I rolled in I met a very nice guy handling the trans action named Brett. He looked at me as if I were crazy when I told him I planned on driving the RV 600 miles back to MI. Even though he was confident the truck...

    Spare Tire

    It does not look like the Military had any, but did the civilian Blazers have a swing arm spare tire carrier to hold the tire on the rear of the 80's Blazers? If so does anyone have a source or passably have one for sale?
