Nice to see the trailer still being used. Looks like a nice combo.

Congrats on surviving your successful educational recovery.[thumbzup] You now know your truck better than the majority of new owners.

'Tank' you for sharing. Love that cornfield photo. COME ON POWERBALL !!! WHO'S YOUR DADDY!! I know where my tax refund is going!

Good question. He hasn't visited the site since Oct. 2011, and hasn't posted since May 2011.

Wow, many of us have had a breakdown during a trip, but usually only ONE!

Might want to investigate why the studs sheared in the first place before heading out again, and while the hub is off. Were the nuts loose (check the other tires), bearings bad or not well lubed. Could just be too long a trip at speed with a lifted tow exceeded the truck's capabilities...

Actually, with the steering wheel tied down, I don't have any problem backing a towbar'd truck. You need a lot of room if you want to change direction, and may need to jockey back and forth a few times, but you can do it. Backing straight is not a problem if you're used to backing trailers.

Welcome! I think I lurked for about 4 years before I actually joined.

I'm definatly coming. Just need to be upwind of Frodo along the fence. PM me with any help you need, Tim.

Looks like fun, but painful. Congrats on a safe journey!

Welcome, and congrats on a great price for a running Deuce!

Welcome!! Way to jump in with both feet! I wouldn't worry about the CTIS during the trip home unless it gives you a problem. Read the -10 TM completely several times before you start it up. Flip the two switches on, wait 3-4 seconds for the ABS check, then crank. To turn off, flip the...

I have had a couple of trucks you had to shut off and bleed air in order to shift into high. I've flipped the interlok roller on all my trucks, but I may just do the bypass described by m16ty.

Looks like a great truck at a very nice price.

Ouch!! I bet that hurt for a long time :shock:

Welcome, and just jump right in. The level of my ignorance is astounding, and I haven't been kicked out yet.

Welcome Aboard!! :beer:

Congrats on your first one! Great luck with all the tools - they are usually the first to walk. You'll enjoy working out the kinks.

Not sure who you are referring to, since I've only sold 2 trucks in 6 years, but this is an old post describing potential pitfalls of buying M809 series trucks on GL and expecting that you can just jump in and ride off into the sunset. Funny thing is, the same or similar risks exist with the...

If you get a trailer converter dolly, you won't need to put a 5th wheel plate on a truck. Any deuce or 5-ton with box or cargo bed, even the wrecker, could pull a semi-trailer.
