I researched WC21 trucks after reading this. What I came up with is that the WC21's were built between 41 and 42. So in other words, I've got 70 year old wheels on my trailer now!!! They were actually in great shape save for some surface rust. I took care of that with a drill mounted wire...

It makes absolutely no sense to me why a truck would run faster and more efficient with a load but I come from a gasser background. I'm just happy to see the responses confirm that I'm not crazy.

I've had a M1028 for some years now. I just got him a M101A1 and have been towing that for a few days. I've always driven him at about 45 to 50 MPH but now that the trailer is behind him, he want's to go 55 MPH at roughly the same push on the throttle. He even seems quieter which makes no...

AugDog, did you buy some trailers in Albany as well? Well, I've got a few to pull to load for Andy1234 and if you've bought some that need a ride, I can pull them too so long as they have a towbar. If you need some sling loaded, I prefer you handle that business with Wreckerman893 as I work at...

You're belt is probably still loose. The way to do it is get the pulley back together and the belt somewhat on, keep the fuel control pulled out for shutoff, bump the starter and then check for proper tightness. It'll take 3 or 4 bumps to get it right in my experience. Make sure not to leave...

I'm a little further south near Albany but if you wanted to come down and get a Deuce Lesson, I'll offer up what I have. I've been threw mine top to bottom and could lend some good po.inters. It'd take you about 3 hours to get here but the rest of the lesson would be free.

I can understand that and I'm about to that point as well in regards to picking stuff up from the local base. I've been burned more times than I've been paid for my time. I've switched to the "call me if you know me" option. If they have my phone number, they are friends.

Hundy went out of the truck business? I'm sure if you contact him, he can get you a truck. I've seen his work in pictures and it appears he did pretty good work. I generally buy mine from GL but you're taking a gamble of sorts on that route. Preview is your friend if you decide to go the...

GHall, They do have 6 brakes but remember, it's a single output on the older trucks to all 6 brakes. Fluid takes the path of least resistance so there is no redundancy in this braking system. If one component fails or leaks, you have no brakes. There is an emergency brake but it usually...

And to think I get fussed at by members for towing MK 14 trailers with my Deuce that actually stop's more suddenly with the airlines hooked up. Anyhow, back to the OP, you need a CDL A to tow a 10,000 pound or over trailer. You should not tow it with a 1 ton truck regardless of the brakes on...

and I posted USLD rather than ULSD but I'm sure everone eyed past that little keystroke mistake.

Posts concerning the "lubricity" of ULSD are why I keep running WMO in my Deuce and 2 stroke oil in my CUCV. You dug up an old thread but I feel it is relevant. In my CUCV that just passed 5,000 original miles, she will drop a cylinder due to an injector not firing if I only run pump Diesel...

Amber or yellowish headlights on a truck are often an attempt to recreate a "Gun Truck". Do a little reading in that subforum and you'll learn some rich history of some of these trucks. I'll sum it up by saying, alot of Gun Trucks had yellow lights and yellow marking across the nose so that...

Sarge now has a trailer. I would like to Thank 3dAngus for the trailer, Papabear for the wheels, and Atomic for going with me to get the wheels and break down the old tires. Briggs is extremely happy that Sarge has a trailer now. We took it for a ride and you can't even tell it's back there...

In response to the OP. We've talked thru PM about something else involving roof hatches and I'm fine with that. If you're goal is to get some axles and misc parts from MK 48 series trailers, contact me as I know a guy that has bought a pile of them just south of me about 18 miles away. I've...

One thing to consider trying. Remove the outer wheel hub caps on the front axle. They're in the center of the wheel and are held on by eight bolts. Take those off, put some plastic over the splined shafts and try driving it then. If it acts the same, that rules out axle issues and then...

I'm so glad I read your post twice before breaking out my Fluke, Flashlight and Camera to prove you wrong and make a fool of myself in the process!!! I know I've used the driver's side alternator case as a ground in the past when testing the glowplugs. Great information and you're absolutely...

Driver's side alt is not "ungrounded". Take a test meter and put the negative lead on it and the positive lead on the back battery positive post. You'll wind up with much more than 12V. The passenger side on is the insulated one if I don't have it backwards.

The Cucv escapes normal thinking in the realm of adding 12V DC electronics to a 24V system and keeping batteries topped off and balanced. Most of us think of a Deuce or 5 ton where the Alt or Gen send 24V power to one battery wired in series to the "trailing" battery. I agree with what was...

Last unless someone requests something specific. I'm more than happy to help even if I am a bit jealous ya'll have these types of trucks!!!:driver:
