Might buy a deuce!

[llong66]

I didnt have anything to take pics, but i found a deuce at a local dealer. They were closed, so I dont know much about it and I couldnt find a data plate. It looks to be in GREAT shape, the top is like new, its automatic, looks like it had 5 fwd gears, a cummins engine, 20,000# winch, It has some type of electronic "control box" is how its labeled on the fire wall, drivers side. Just from what i saw, is there anything you can tell me about it, what year range it might fall in? I am going to go mon. and see more about it. Is there anything in particular I should look for? Most of the hoses and such look newer, all the tires, even the spare look great, no looses wires and the harnesses look good, does not look to have any leaks. The oil looks to have been changed recently from the way it looks on the dip stick. I opened the fuel fill lid and i am not sure what they have been running it on, it doesnt smell like gas for sure, but it doent smell like diesel either. I know I dont have much info, but thanks for anything you might be able to tell me!

You want that truck so bad; you're FIRED up, aint ya?!

A Cummins and a control box? Sounds like a 5 ton to me

You are definately NOT looking at a duece. Sounds like you found an m925. These are 5 ton trucks and may require (in most cases) a CDL to drive. They are great trucks just be aware of what your getting into with this one.

This might sound like a stupid question, i havent had experience with MV outside of my m1008, but do the five tones come twin screw with the troop seats and covered rear? The front is also soft top. Its has what i would call a 60/40 split front seat.

Yup, sounds like a 5ton. How many lugnuts? 6= deuce 10= 5ton

My buddy did snap a cell phone pic just to show his wife what his nutty friend was looking at.

Sorry bout the pic, I dont know why it flipped and i can make it turn the right direction, sounds like its a 5 ton though

 

[Evil Dr. Porkchop]

That is an m925 5 ton.

 

[wheelspinner]

Yep. 925A0. Straight diesel though, so if you smell something different.....?Oops, EDPC you beat me to it.
