    Why the Deuce Doesn't Have These I'll Never Know!

    Does the Term "Educated Idiot" pop into everyones head too?The smartest people I know are the ones that only did highschool or didn't finish highschool.Some of the stupidest are the book smart people.Knowledge is not the same as smarts.

    Oh yea,You might wanna get in your shiny flame suit now...REALLY don't wanna bring up CTIS.Most CTIS systems were disconnected the minute the trucks came off the transporter to save future troubles.One of those things designed by an idiot,built by a moron.Looks great on paper but totally SUCKS...

    Ummm,You really CAN'T make it any tougher than stock.They spend over 30 years,some as much as 50 years being driven by 18YO PFCs straight outta boot camp with the full knowledge that if they break something they ain't gotta fix it themselves or pay the bill to have it fixed.

    Exactly.Think of the actual torque at the wheels after going through a Transmission in low,Transfer in low,and 6.72 double reduction Pumpkin.Your talking 6 tons at the axle shafts STOCK.That is taking into consideration 300FT/Lbs from a stock engine.

    Once you throw the little switch on teh dash the front end is pulling no matter what.Same ratio as teh rear so all 3 axles are getting equal power.Just no telling what side of each axle is spinning.But the transfer case doesn't vary the power period.Try putting it in 6wheel on pavement and turn...

    Why the Deuce Doesn't Have These I'll Never Know!

    Well,the deuce was NOT intended to be a mud truck.It was designed to be driven on un-improved roads.AKA dirt roads and pig trails hauling material to the men.That is why after we bomb the crap outta the area we start building roads.Mud is bad on any vehicle so the US military tried to stay away...
