I bought my M816 strictly to use on my own property. I buy and sell/part out deuces as a hobby and it is so much safer lifting heavy stuff with the wrecker than when I used to use my Bobcat. Pulling a multifuel with a skid loader while you're staring at the crank pulley was not a safe way to do...

In my opinion I would just replace the whole unit with an air shift case. Even a correctly working sprag case does not work as good as an air shift case.

Is it possible the starter button is sticking on? Even if the red button comes back out maybe something inside is sticking.

Ya I guess mine do start with Y but they are not the typical weight rated plates like I'm used to, they are like yours limited to 15,000 lbs.

I had a similar experience the last deuce I registered. I used to register them with "Y" plates=truck plates and rate them at 26,000 or less if I wanted to save a bit on tab costs. However, the last time I was in at the same DMV I always use they said I needed a DOT # to use Y plates. I...

Welcome to the site! Good to see another deuce owner in MN. If you need any parts let me know, I've got a handful of parts trucks at my place.

I've got some perches on hand for $25.00 each plus the ride.

Yes all the trucks have the same gearing, are you using low range on the transfer case? The only other thing I can think of is going with a smaller tire to slow it down without riding the brake or clutch. By the way I think you are the first person wanting to "slow down" a deuce :mrgreen:

I brought an air shift transfer case down to my shop today and threw it on the scale...465 lbs! It still had the parking brake assembly and drum on as well as the cross-member and gear oil. I knew they were heavy but wouldn't have guessed that much.

I've got a good takeout for $350 with the necessary air lines and switch. Shipping it would be a little pricey though.

So do you think if you brought documents from GP that showed a Humvee was sold as "off-road use only" they would insure it for on-road use?

Good point, my question would be for those getting titles with "Off Road Only" on their SF97.

I don't mean to get off topic but aren't you guys who are "jumping through hoops" to get a title worried about any possible problems? Like getting into an accident and your insurance company or the other party involved may find out that vehicle was never supposed to be on the road in the first...

I get the same exact thing, everything that I can see/feel seems good.

It's really not that bad if you have to pull it, my 15 year old did one for me a couple months ago outside here in MN. If you can get a tall enough jack to lower it down works the best or rig up a hoist through the floor.

Also, the fuel you are seeing in the lines (clear lines I assume) is not the supply line, they are return lines from the injectors. The supply lines are the hard lines from the injection pump to each individual injector. It's normal to see gaps or bubbles in the clear lines.

I'm guessing he meant to say "on" instead of "in" the canisters??

Might be the alternator, after it starts shut the switch off and see if the sound stops.

Have you ever been to a monster truck show? They use pinion brakes and as soon as they make a few passes the rotor is flaming red hot! And that's in an arena where they don't go 55 MPH for long stretches. And they actually weigh less than a deuce. They will wear out quickly on a deuce used on...

Might want to check to see if they are even legal in your state too.
