    M931A2 engine/trans power restrictions

    I know this is hind sight but I would say you would have done better to find The A1 trucks with the reliable as heck 855, they have always been my go to engine or just about everything I own and they are pretty tough unlike the little turbo job in the A2 trucks. I suppose you must have CTIS on...

    My first post and my first MV

    Sure a nice looking truck! When I saw it the very first thing I thought about was the CTIS and what a PIA they can be, then read your post and was not surprised in any way! Take your time on it and be thorough in troubleshooting then when you get tired of all the messing around there is a CTIS...

    Thoughts on WAGO connectors

    WAGO connectors work great but the same rules apply as to any other good connector, make sure your wire ends are clean and prepped and use doe diligence when fastening them down, they work good! The other connectors that have the shrink wrap and the solder inside sure do seem to work good and I...

    Blackest matte black

    I was painting my Deuce a few years ago and wanted the flattest OD green I could get and after spraying a fender and letting it dry I saw immediately that it was not going to work at all. It was so flat that the paint was almost a bit porous and the first dirt, dust mud whatever contaminant hit...

    Frozen valve on the SEE backhoe

    I sure sounds like you have done everything that I would have done to try to free that sticking valve, unfortunately that only leaves one thing and that is to disassemble the valve itself. It could be any number of things from contamination to rust that got inside at one time, all you linkage...

    5 ton random shut off

    Lefty the shutoff solenoid is certainly a inexpensive place to start, you could swap that our pretty easily. Could it have anything to do with that electronic box that sits on the firewall in front of the driver, I think they call it the PCB box its supposedly affords some protection to the...

    How do you secure your vehicle at shows? Armor hatches - Safety related

    When I take my trucks to shows I always stand right there to answer any questions etc. and I lock the passenger side door so anybody that want to sit in the truck has to have my OK to do so. One thing I noticed at my first showing is that when the show is over you still have to be with your...

    Geared Lug Wrench options?

    The torque multipliers work very good I mean to the point that you need to be careful, if you want to get aggressive you can snap off a 1/2" stud like butter!

    First time in the snow…

    I would expect nothing less from a Deuce in the snow, now lets put some ice under that snow and give that a try! Let me guess you are running NDT tires? They suck of a whole lot of surfaces and snow and ice being the worst. IF you want to actually drive this truck in the snow there are a...
