Very nice! Congrats on the purchase. Looks like you need a 6x6 in that weather. :-D

Congrats Biggles. I fought like heck for trucks 31 & 32. No dice. Oh well. There's always next time. :wink:

I wish that was me. heh

Zombie apocalypse. Enough said.

Dare I ask how you got that deuce mounted to the 5 ton?

Congrats on the purchase! I want to purchase a GL truck and drive it home. Seems a little risky to me, but it's great to hear about these successful stories.

Just guessing here, but are you sure the engine is well grounded? I had a 1989 Chevy Caprice that had a poorly grounded engine. This would cause no start conditions that were similar to a very low battery. It clicked, but wouldn't turn over, and it did this randomly. Placing a ground strap from...

That made me laugh. :D

Welcome to the site sir! Good to see more locals take an interest in military vehicles. I don't think there is a local MV club yet, but there may be enough members to create one.

Goliath was K.I.T.T.'s only true nemesis.

Yeah, it's a noob question. :wink:

Ah, there it is. Thank you very much!

Speaking of wheel chocks, where do you store them while driving the deuce? Throw it in the back of the bed or hang them from a chain by the rear wheels like with a semi trailer?

Wow Jim, that's scary. I never even thought about it becoming a runaway truck.

Every thread I post in is automatically subscribed to and I get emails informing me of new posts. This is nice sometimes, but I don't want that for every thread I post in. Is there a way to set the default to not subscribe to a thread? I for the life of me can't find the settings for this.

That's what I thought. It makes total sense. I just didn't know if this was bad for some reason and that's why some people set them back to start.

I'm still deuceless, but I have been looking at trucks. I notice people using the start/stop handle differently. One guy pulls it out to shut off the truck and leaves it out until he's ready to restart it. Another guy stops the truck and then pushes the handle back back to start position, but...

I believe sprag is always engaged. The handle by the seat it high/low range.

Excellent! Thanks for posting that tsmall07. Not sure how I missed that thread.
