Great upgrade. I love the 7" Trucklite's that I put on my Deuce. In fact, only truck at the 2010 GA Rally to sport a pair and when I came off the trails at night, everybody wanted to know about them. Try some night pics!!!!

By those claims, you'd be turning roughly 32/3300 rpm's to go an even 70 MPH in a Deuce. I've read of issues of running them a constant 2600 rpm. Who is right? I've limited myself to 45 to 50 MPH to try and keep this old thing from spitting a rod out the side. My old motor chief told me that...

I flat towed an M818 behind a M936 yesterday at 55 mph on flat ground and slowed down to 40 on some upgrades that slowed me down. Yes, I had chained the towed truck to the pulling truck and yes, it all went good. I've towbared dead trucks for both personal and National Guard use. The pins...

Truck is suffering a typical air primer system leak. It'll run on it's own above about 1500 (can't verify, the tach cable is gone) but sounds about right. Now the really bad news, No high range in the transfer case. It'll move in low range but will not engage in high range at all. I'll check...

Truck starts and runs with either, won't run on the fuel. Time to drop the driver's side step and check the tank select valve hose's as it won't prime either. I'll also bypass the stock fuel system to the IP and check it that way this weekend. Oh well, I'm tired, it's home and it's nice to...

Paperecu, very true statement. It's taken till today for mine and his schedule to line up and that meant me taking a day off from work (That's what leave is for). Anyhow, enjoy the pics for those who like to look at this kind of stuff. Only took about 5 hours and $150 dollars worth of diesel...

The 800 series wreckers are about as basic as they come. I doubt you could put a jake brake on it without spending a ton, an exhaust brake may work but I've not seen one on a N/A Diesel. The transfer works fine as is, it'll jump in if you're spinning the rears which you shouldn't on a truck...

Jimma, can you tow a trailer and leave the truck out in the rain with Haggerty? If so, I need to switch.

JC Taylor seems like cheap insurance but I don't have a lockable garage and pull my M105 anywhere I take the Deuce. I'm stuck with paying 25 a month for GEICO but I'm covered even when towing a 5 ton truck behind it!!! I'll pay now rather than later and make sure I'm covered worse come to...

If you're thinking it's a Gear Vendors overdrive unit then you would be incorrect, it's just a good clean looking stock drivetrain.

I've turned my fuel up without Pyro gauge. It blow's a very nice cloud of smoke, pitch black when hitting the throttle at idle. I've got a boost gauge and it's never hit more than 15# on a heavy pull dragging a truck out of the base I work at. Your truck is on fire to put up 40 plus #'s of...

Gimpy, While I like my 831's, I'd love to have a set of 395's if they were on HEMMT wheels or equivalent. We should have discussed this at the GA Rally last year but then again, there's always this coming year. FWIW, these have less than 600 miles on them. They certainly look alot tougher...

Dean, On the 800 series, I've seen alot more air leaks from the hard plastic line going to the primer pump on the dash. I often bypass that by welding a small bead in place of the line going to it. the NHC pump sucks pretty well and as long as I fill the filter can on a fuel filter change...

I've not personally run into this product. If the truck was on an Active Duty post all it's life, it likely had JP-8 in it which I don't believe gives as much trouble. If it spent it's last years as a National Guard truck, it's straight diesel that has sat for who knows how long. If it truly...

PB, you told me it was a seafood fest, you never said anything about MOH honor's. I would have gladly came earlier and yes, I'm still that younger crowd that still need's educating. I truely believe we've shared some of the same ordeals being veterans and what not, I still think I can learn a...

I've got a towbar in Leesburg, GA that you can borrow for free. Just bring it back when you're done. It's roughly 180 miles from you, maybe someone closer will pitch in but it's an option if you need it.

Good Luck Zack. You'll be a little far from me to help once you jump into the T-Case but I hope you post up what you learn and find. I'll take notes. Also, I pulled the driveshaft:grd:, you sat and watched my electric impact do most the work!!!:driver:

Quite a few folks would say the first thing you need to know is to "walkaway". Anyhow, I've got a CUCV truck and it's been great so far. One pet peeve is that with the stock tires and 4.56 gears in the truck, you're pretty much limited to 55 mph on the highway. The blazer's have 3.08's so...

Paul, Deans' truck was on 14.00's and shipped out with the cab protector in place and made it to MN with no issues. I know your truck was picked up on an RGN and I was very happy to meet the gentlemen who picked it up both then and at the GA 2010 Rally. It should ride fine and clear bridges...

Price diff of about 4K between the two trucks. I really like the A2, have gotten to tow a truck home with it (how's that rate as a test drive? Pretty dang good!) and likely will go that way. The A1 I've looked at would need some new hydraulic lines. I just figured there was some untapped...
