    2013 VIN INFO Thread

    I think I am getting a bit of the mystic powers bestowed upon me just being an acquaintance of the "center of the MV universe". I can foresee some future gonad torqueing. Mr. Carl, you may want to go back to page 1 of this thread and read the format The Great CARNAC wants, then quickly edit your...

    My M35 ladder truck

    If you look carefully, there are three flags visible. There is only one right front corner.

    Cat 3208 swap in a bobbed deuce

    Every time I hear about moving the transfer case back, I wonder about the u-joint angles to the front-rear axle at full suspension compression/extension. Does anyone know the limit before issues arise?

    Intake/exhaust port CFM flow? Porting the heads? Tech babble.

    I'd say waaaaayyy too much. But I did like your response.

    Green Iron at the Track (M818 drag racing)

    Now that is 5-ton hot-rodding. Cool.

    Intake/exhaust port CFM flow? Porting the heads? Tech babble.

    I do not think 60 cfm is right. You only have a small timeframe to get the air in there so flowrate during that period needs to be higher. It would be 60 cfm if you have a full minute to fill the cylinder.

    12 volt charging system

    Several have done that on the deuce so I would think it similar. I did my deuce by using one original belt for the 24V alt in the stock location and building a bracket for the 12V alt above it. The second belt groves are used for that alt with an appropriate sized belt.

    Super-Single spare tire swing/gate mount!

    Here are the pics. I like to carry around a cooler on top of the spare, bungied to the frame and mud flap. It is easier to get a beverage from there than crawling in the back and the get bounce around much less. That pic shows the clearance to the road tire with the front rear axle pushed...

    Super-Single spare tire swing/gate mount!

    Quite frankly, I had not read the thread before I did mine (search did not work well). A tap measure seemed to indicate it would be close but might work so I started by hanging the large spare on. I could see the interference with the tool box support right away and it did seem all I would need...

    Super-Single spare tire swing/gate mount!

    Some pics of someone else's mods are posted on the link in post 25 below. If those don't do it for you, let me know and I will take some pics of my version. BTW, that thread below talks about leaving the spare deflated to gain clearance between it and the road tire. I do not do that. I have...

    Super-Single spare tire swing/gate mount!

    I have a 395/85/R20 Goodyear MVT on a stock deuce wheel mounted in the stock location. All it took was about one hour with a recip saw and rat-tail file. I trimmed the rear tool box support arm by cutting away some of the rear flange material. I trimmed a small amount of the inboard bottom edge...

    deuce / 6x6 learning....

    As far as wanting more power, most everyone does and large tires do not help in that regard. However, there were two primary reasons for the 395's on my truck. They were readily available (meaning reasonably priced including shipping costs) and they provide the most effective gear ratio...

    What do you build?

    I can't say I build them but I do rebuilt them.

    Anyone in the El Paso Tx area?

    I am. Depending on when you need them moved of post, I may be able to help. I know CARNAC but cannot speak for him.

    Radioactive Deuce?

    I have an old civil defense Geiger counter that was working the last time I put fresh batteries in it so it probably still works. It does however, have a small radioactive source installed for self-checking (that is how I knew it was working) so shipping it around is probably a problem.

    best gear oil for deuce

    If you are asking if that is the same as what Welldigger is suggesting, no that is not it. This is a gear oil and he suggested you use 40 weight motor oil (non-detergent).
