p Prince of wales alaska so actually fairly big. It is in Southeast alaska in the panhandle. Not sure about other enthusiests but there are a lot of dueces on the island. Mostly for wood and mills. Some snow plows. One I have seen around seems to just be for towing vehicles. The truck I bought...

Thank you. I knew it had to be engaged inside but wasn't sure if that wouod be the way to tell. I added a little grease to that so it doesn't want to fall out.

Howdy, Guess I missed this section when until now. Well here is my intro. My name is Jacob. You guys can call me Jake or whatever. Been into military vehicles for many years (currently 24 years old so still need to learn a lot) and finally bought one. Small town person from a small...

That is a heck of a line of fittings. But could be very useful. So half inch npt back at the gladhand? Then adapt down I imagine to quarter inch not for the other airline fittings?

Sorry about double post. Internet pickup on the first and said it failed.

I believe it is called the fuel shutoff lever? When I tried to move it in the truck it was completely stuck. So brought it home. Put it in a vice using intertube to prevent maring of the bottom with the wedge in it. Took the nut and keeper off of the top. Hit it with pb blaster and let it soak...

I have seen a few people talk about using the gladhand as a remot line. Is that similar yo what you are talking about? I do not currently have access to a gladhand unfortunately. But hope to soon.

Ok. I wasn't aware of that. Just got it confirmed by a semi mechanic I know. Crazy how hot those get apparently. 12-24 inches of a steel tubing of some kind recommended... Thanks for the reply. And not that I didn't believe. Just as someone who does most of my own mechanics I like to understand...

Got 10 gallons of 15-40w engine oil and 10 gallons gl-5 mt-1 rated gear oil for everything else. Fresh grease for the grease spots. Oil filters should be here tomorrow or Monday. Trying to get a full filter set from eBay but might just order fuel filters as well and have them in by Wednesday...

That makes sense. I hadn't thought about the size difference on tires that big. Used to s10s and old toyota twd pickups. Toyota i always run smaller in the front but even a small difference slants the truck. Been looking into the electrical situation. Seems a pretty straight forward system...

So been looking around for airline info for a duece. I want to swap it all to the dot nylon tubing including coming straight out of the compressor. I am finding conflicting informatiin and some missing info. So. Question 1: is the air coming out of the compressor to hot for nylon tubing...

That is very true. I will have to check tires. So long as tread depth is still 4/32 they will be legal stear tires. 2/32 and legal drive tires. Other than that tire patterns don't matter here. Gotta love Alaska for some laws and regulations.

The issue with no price gouging laws and being strapped over a barrel for options. Called across the way to ketchikan schwab. 470 for brand new tires. Not sure why the local said so much for recaps...

The barge stops in two different spots on the island but due to being the only shipper to the island personal frieght tends to run around 400 a pallet... May have to message him and check in cost of tires. Then see if i cam get a discount on shipping because one of the main guys at the local...

Alaska State law leaves retread laws to The federal government and only limits studded and chained tire use. All other tires are legal unless going against federal law.

Decided to check looking logging companies and the local tire dealer. 10.00r20 retreads from the local tire dealer was over 4k for 3 tires. And apparently retreads are illegal to run on steer tires (or so I was told I know it isn't true unless the duece is a passanger bus...) Local logging...

My end goal is to swap to 12.00r20s on solid rim running singles in the back. Intertubs seem to cost a pretty penny when going up in size. All rims are currently stock. The steer tires and spare are the stock tires. Drivers are bigger though. Not sure how big of an issue it is to run 10.00r20 in...

The rear tires look like Michelin snow tires. Abd sized 10.00r20. I can't find them anywhere in my Google searches.

Area it is large. Lots of road. But very separated from everything. Intend to use the duece for firewood. Got the fuel shutoff freed up by taking it apart and using pb blaster. got full filter set on order. Cheapest way to get air filter. Getting oils tomorrow.

Prince of Wales. Small island. Few towns only one auto store. It is Napa. Order most everything.
