Mr. Heater is the way to go, it produces almost no CO, just CO2 and it shuts off in low oxygen situations, you can also strap it down anywhere... It's an indoor and tent safe heater. My suggestion would be to get a 20 pound propane tank and tie it some place outside the cab, and run accessory...
Deuce's don't like to hang around idling producing power. You would have to find the right rpm with the hand throttle to make sure you're not producing a lot of uncombusted fuel but at the same time not producing more heat than the fan can handle over a long period of time. Probably between...
You can put what ever you want in the transfer case but the spicer transmissions and their yellow metal synchros get very angry if you don't put GL-1 in them, or something else that is yellow metal safe in them. The detergents and additives do unfortunate things to those pricey synchros, ask me...
Motorcycles are handy little personal transportation devices. I can practically carry my xt225 on any vehicle, and then release it and am able to do 70 mph with cargo.
I thought the Vespa was Italian though?
Yeah my inverter is separate from my VIC-1. Before I tapped into the inverter's 24v leads for power to the MX-7777. Now I have a circuit protected master power switch that feeds the MX-7777 and 900w inverter. The inverted is used to run my cell phone charger. I also use it for power tools, I...
Anyone got a picture of e-track installed? I know you can use it on the floor or sides, and I heard that it's weldable too, but I've never actually seen it installed into anything but a wood floor or wood wall on a trailer or box truck.
E-track has a lot of accessories: rings, tire strap, wood...
Yes the lethal ingredient in CARC is sand. Also some of the pigments likes cobalt are harmful too, but no more harmful than any other paint, keep it out of your lungs but one truck shouldn't give you silicosis unless it takes you 10-15 years you get the CARC off your truck, which is a...
Here's my winch, the M8000 Warn Industries - Premium Series: M8000
The 24v volt version still pulls 235 amps at 8000#.... Of course it's 435 amps for 12v. Being 24v does cut the amps in half, but half of a lot is still a lot. I don't trust my deuce's batteries, because I know one is going...
The stock PTO winch on the deuce is only rated for 10,000# isn't it? I've found some 24v winches that are 15,000# but they are all +/- 3000$. I figure anything above 10,000# is better than stock, but your power system might not be happy. I know the 8000# warn on my Toyota could probably pick...
You don't need ABS to stop a vehicle. My 99' F250 4X4 didn't come with ABS standard, and I don't need it to stop. Don't get me wrong, I like the vehicle stability control, the anti-lock brake system, and the traction control that exist in my Toyota, but those are no replacement for proper...
Either o'reilly's or napa, I'm thinking o'reilly's most likely.
The bulb is known as a 2470/H3 bulb I think. A 12 volt H3 is a 1255/H3.
Here some charts

The H2 is AWD with a center differential the Tahoe generally is a part time 4X4 with a real transfer case. The H2 has a garbage interior that falls apart after a few years from being sun eaten, the Tahoe's interior generally lasts the truck.
Please don't insult the Tahoe.
You may have noticed a lot of the discussion is about people pulling out in front of logging trucks, commercial vehicles, and actually military convoys as well as our own hobby trucks. I don't approve of the Wisconsin ban, and it's not that I don't feel for those affected by the ban, but I'm...
I use the 'military style' switches because they look cool. They are pretty much the same as the other deuce switches (i.e. steel toggle) but with a missile cover. You should pay attention to amperage versus your application for what ever you pick, but you probably already have a pretty good...
The reason people will be so negative about putting a deuce to work has nothing to do with the capabilities of the truck. They are trying to steer you away from it because they want the truck preserved. That in itself is not a bad thing, but they'll feed you all kind of stuff about the truck's...
Do you have some mechanical skills and a moderate tool set for SAE parts? That's required.
I got that letter for buying an M105A2. It's a pretty sweet letter, DOD logos on it and such.
There is one way.
If you give us some pictures of what your working on repairing and how your doing it, it would become a repair thread, then you mention you can find Part #XXXXXX, then someone could post a place to find it, because you can't find that part in the course of your repair.
I...
