All the answers are right, You need to stop idling. If you must idle, set the throttle at least to 1100RPM. Drive the truck, slobber will go away. JT

It is the real thing, being hauled by the Real Hauler. Landstar is a Gov't contractor, hauls all over the US for Uncle. Imagine the king pin had a lock on it til the driver came back. Interesting gun though, very light under carriage for a 105. JT

I love my M275A2 tractor, that said........... the ideal trailer for a deuce trailer is an M416. Yes I typed the numbers correctly. 818s and 915s are haulers, if you gotta move something. JT out

In my experience, the 6TL batteries are not worth much. Group 31D batteries with the screw top post are available in at least 2 different CCA varieties and allow you to dispense with the clamp on bat terminale and bolt the bat cables directly to the batteries. They tend to corrode less than...

For the new guys, The oil canister gasket is a napa 5119, fiber gasket the primary fuel gasket is a napa 5131 rubber gasket the secondary fuel gasket is a napa 5070 rubber gasket All good current numbers, I buy them by the hundred count and have them all the time. JT out

If you buy an M35, you can probably still get the M-2 and that makes you the winner

The LDS-427-2 makes 146 HP. This is due to the turbo being a higher boost turbo than our normal LDT-465-1C and D turbo engines. The 427 got a bad name for breaking cranks. I still drive one at work, the old girl should be dead, but, smokes on!!!!. The turbo will fit on LDS and LDT 465...

JT will be at JT!!!!!!! Are we there yet? JT out

As I sit here reading these posts, it seems like one post answers another and that there are two sides out here, one, pro preparedness and the other, thinking preppers and survivalists are "crazies". My thought is, as we look back, every American in a somewhat rural setting has always been a...

I haven't met EVERY Steel Soldier, but, I have met a lot of you. Every single one of you I know are "Preppers" in one sense or another. I think it is great that James Wesley Rawles' Survival Blog has become aware of the Deuce as the Ultimate GOOD vehicle. I have 2 M109s with Trailers, one to...

How about, use the trailer suspension and have a heck of a nice XM35A4? I've built them for a long time and the trailer suspension, with helpers correctly installed and moved back enough to mount the M105 box so it is correct looking is simply the best way to go, at my house anyway. JT

Well, the Deuce is shorter than the M39 series both hood and fenders. And, the M39 series is shorter than the 800 series, both hood and fenders, and, the 900 series is different than the 800 series, both hood and fenders. So... parts inter changeability doesn't pertain to those parts, Roger that? JT

The staves are 45 inches long. If you can find fiberglass staves, they are super. never get stuck. If you can't, try Gringletaube's method, it looks good. JT out

Kenny, you have a lot nicer way of saying things than I do, for sure. But, they just don't seem to hear what we are saying. JT out

my experience with David Kelone has been excellent, I have met him, he is for real . But, he has had to take over a business that lost touch with it's customers for a long time. Dave is a Mule (M274) man 1st and foremost, he has a heck of a reputation in that world. he bought the Data Plate...

Our ability to dictate our future is by voting. Please, no matter your political oreintation, vote on election day. Our future depends on it. My political feelings are strong, I am a Tea Party Conservative. Enough said, thank you all for your vote. JT out

The resurrection of this post is a great way to remind people to be extremely careful and respectful of all overhead and underground powerlines. There is no coming back from the wrong move. JT out

send Pelosi home, have a talk with Arnold, then move out of the state, Oregon is nice Or, use the grandfather clause on the age of your truck and ask for the emmissions standards of that era be applied to your vehicle. It works in New York State, and we are the second worst in the...

Go buy a mechanical gauge at auto zone or parts America or anywhere and put it where the sending unit goes, than you will know if you have low oil pressure. Then, get a manual on the repair/adjustment of the external oil pressure regulator over on the alternator side of the engine, behind the...
