    What kinda vehicle is this?

    I have a class 530B Deuce fire truck that looks just like the one in the original poster's avatar, is it really rare? I thought the 530C model with deluge gun was the rare one. My truck runs great and is supposed to pump water, anyone want to make an offer? JT

    Long distance " Sweet Spot" M35A2

    If you buy a set of lockout hubs for the front axle, and install the 2 drive flanges that you had to remove to install the lockout hubs, on the forward tandem rear, you will change to behavioral characteristics of you truck a lot. And, your fuel consumption will go down. And, your front tire...

    New Jeep Similar to M715 Coming Out

    Is it going to be produced or is it a concept vehicle? Can't they make it with enough bed to actuelly do something with. How about they come back out with the J4000 with a Cummins for power? I would buy a new truck if they did that. Otherwise, when the Dodge dies it's back to the '84 CUCV. JT out

    JATONKA's winter project: M35 dump/plow truck

    BFR, the tires Surfdog showed us are 12.00R 20s. They are HUGE compared to 12.5R20s. As old english tire sizes go, 9.00, 10.00, 11.00, 12.00 etc. The point 5 sizes are all different and smaller than their point zero counterparts. His 12.00R 20s are just a bit less than 45 inches tall. JT out

    cold weather fuel additives

    What DogHead said, ditto. Even in temperate climates, a good fuel additive will lubricate your injection system and improve cetane rating. I personnaly always use Power Service, white jug, I buy by the case. Tractor Supply Co. runs lots of specials on it up here around me. Every time I get an...

    Here is a trick to extend the life of an old battery.

    This post brings us back to David Doyle and EDTA, a chemical that removes sulfate from the lead plates in a 6TL battery. I have treated two batteries with EDTA and they are both still starting trucks. The rub is that it is a lot of work. If a person had a 5 gallon paint shaker, it would be easy...

    How should I heat the Deuce???

    Maradyne makes great heaters, water heated, 24 volt DC, 3 different sizes. Check at any Ag or Construction equipment dealer, they should have a catalog called Heavy Duty Parts, toward the back of the book are the Maradyne heaters. I use the 5000 model in Deuces, has defrost ports too. JT

    WVO Blending

    I would mix WVO 0% , RUG 0% , and winterized Diesel 100%. If you need, or care about your engine, just use what is called for, you do not live in a climate condusive to alternative fuels and a 6.2 will not live long with any amount of gasoline in it. Just ask around any diesel mechanic from The...

    Problem spin off oil filter adapter

    I advise against threadlocker on the hex nipples, there is no trouble with the nipple coming unscrewed. The settlement into the gasket is the situation, and you certainly want to be able to retorque if they do ever begin to seep. I have no chance of knowing who did and who didn't, actually use...
