    Oshkosh P-19 crash truck - no start

    Ran this by a very close friend who is supervisor of the firetruck maintenance shop at Goodfellow AFB - home of the all land based DoD & all service branch firefighter training..... He echoed the fuel flow or air leakage concerns as your first step toward locating the problem. Said if the...

    Thinking about a 1st Deuce

    Bobbing trucks is done for several common, and an infinite number of uncommon reasons. Some of the common ones include, but are not limited to: owner's preference; lesser license requirments (3-axle in CA = CDL required); reduced weight and or capacity (some state's registration fees are weight...

    Thinking about a 1st Deuce

    Go to the 5-Ton Forum here on the SS Website. Specs are in one of the "stickies" at the top of the thread list.

    About to buy first deuce - haul 12,000 lbs

    We're good with avoiding the 12,000# idea, realizing now that skirting the law was not your intent. I'll leave the title as is.... it's a sure-fire attention-getter! You're correct that in jettisoning some of the extra weight as in the winch and sideboards and bed walls, you're going to...

    About to buy first deuce - haul 12,000 lbs

    The term DEUCE AND A HALF equates to the rated OFF-ROAD capacity of 2-1/2 Tons of cargo (troops? LOL), whereas the ON-ROAD (improved/pavement) capacity is rated at 5 Tons (10,000 lbs.). Taking this into account, along with the data plate's empty weights, you will find that those general weight...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Just to keep this ON TOPIC.... Has anyone mounted a set of Jackalope Antlers on the hood of their Deuce like ol' Boss Hogg's longhorn Cadillac?? Jus' wunnerin'. I hear banjos!!!

    About to buy first deuce - haul 12,000 lbs

    CAUTIONARY NOTE: One of the fundamental RULES of the STEELSOLDIERS forums is to NOT endorse, encourage or promote ANYTHING ILLEGAL. Since your basic mission involves the regular and routine operation of a deuce-and-a-half OVERLOADED by as much as 20% with a COMMERCIAL (agricultural) Load, my...

    The MEMBER MAP is your friend :grin: Look in the bar just below the uppermost banner of every SS webpage. It's on the right end of the list, just to the left of the SEARCH BOX. Then, you can send a PM to all those already shown to be in your geographic area of interest. Rally 'em up! Y'all...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    ....unless you're in our neighborhood. Jackalopes are EVERYWHERE around here. Some have even become domesticated, living in backyards and enjoying store-bought feed.

    Modern Russian Army in the photos.

    roflrofl No joke. Although I was never taught to read or write Lithuanian I was taught some words of common courtesy. I to my best at phonetic spelling as I recall the pronunciations of some 50 years ago in my childhood. Nehdishkah (Neh-dyish-ka = You're welcome) Shaltah (Shawl-tuh = cold)...

    Extreme RV from M36a2

    It is humbling to see such wisdom spewed forth for the benefit of the masses here. Although I left the Professional Engineering career behind way back in 1998 this thread is quasi nostalgic for me. Gifted are those who can dissect a Physical Law into digestible nuggets for the layman's nurture...
