I like it! I want it!
I have not been to this site for some time. I saw the truck on fleabay and had to get back here to see who's it was. I knew it had to be someone who frequents here.
Super looking truck. I wish I had room, time, and plenty of cash. I would love to own this one.
EUC cleared
I started this thread on 2-13 with a few questions on filling out the forms. Today is the 26th and I have all my paperwork approved and everything paid for. That wasn't as bad as I expected. There was one revision necessary in the process so it would have been a day or two faster if...
I vote for Method B. By using 2 complete systems you can run different fuel mixes in the tanks. One tank could be straight diesel and the other have a mix of WMO and diesel. The straight diesel tank could be used as a start up / shut down tank so the motor starts easier with just diesel. Or in...
WMO uestions and filtering suggestions
I have done some surfing looking for WMO oil usage in the 6.2 but have not found much. It sounds like their IP doesn't tolerate the thicker materials. I've read about a lot of broken shafts. Most of the information I have found is WVO related. Those guys...
expoort letter
Yes, I needed an export letter. I knew that in advance and included it. The paper pushers that handle the EUCs are so used to requesting them. My first email from them stated I needed to file one along with a correction on my EUC form. The first email was immediately followed...
My little truck has plenty of power to tow the trailer but the chassis isn't set up to handle it. I would need the pintle hitch near the top of the tailgate. If I don't buy a deuce there by the time my paperwork clears I will be offering the trailer for sale to those who have GL approval. It...
These guys never get the tires "locked" to the ground. The tires are always spinning so no bind occours. Since the front of these vehicles doesn't get as much traction they spin those tires faster, hoping to pull the truck better. These guys will wait to lock the front hubs until they are...
I thought some of last weeks trailers were super. As far as the trucks go, I previewed them last week. The 3 I liked best were all in today's auction. Some of last weeks pictures looked pretty, but I prefered todays in person.
sassafras and blasting
Glad to see you are making blasting progress. I'm following your progress for future reference.
The aircraft stripper is better quality than the others. We used it to strip old cars when we don't want the blasting media mess. It is messy and often slow, but you don't have...
I'm outbid too
I also bid on 2. I bought 0. I lost again. Right up to the end I thought I had one. Just too much $$ for me right now. The final outcome made my wife very happy. It looks like I will have a very nice M105 for sale at or near Redstone. I won it last week thinking I would pull it...
Stronger than stock parts
gimpyrobb,
I think what Lonesome715 is looking for is high performance parts. I doubt these are available as on the shelf items like with the 5.9 Cummins. Anything can be built with enough money, but those custom parts are expensive. The 5.9 Cummins is like the small...
The "diablo" build mirrors
develman96 wrote "I had west coast style mirrors when I got the truck but I wanted to do something more modern looking as well as having the ability to fold them back out of the way for off road and hurricane use (my point to having the truck)... I have done a few...
Power thoughts of mine
I'm new to this site, and the deuce. I have not turned a wrench on a deuce yet. That is about to change.
This isn't going to be any new info for you guys that are already turning up your diesels. Please correct any of my misinformation.
If you install a bigger turbo...
plenty of 105's
Buying a M105 chassis should be easy with all the guys using the beds for bobbed deuces. I just bought a super nice 105 to use the bed. I planned to sell the complete chassis locally. I'm in a farming community and thought the farmers could use it for something. I'm half way...
I'm looking for mirror ideas for a bobbed deuce I'm planning. What are you going to use?
Anyone else with mirror sugestions. I like the ones on the new Dodge trucks that fold vertical for towing, but I'm sure they are big bucks. I don't know how to mount them either. Those style mirrors are...
I just made my first GL purchase so I'm filling out the EUC for the first time. I bought a M105 trailer.
I have seen 2 different EUC forms. It appears to me one is to be filled out and faxed, the other I'm thinking is submited online. There is a block in each that I don't know what to enter...
sand gets everywhere
I've never blasted a MV but when I have done old cars the media gets everywhere. It never all seems to come out of the crevices. Years later the media is still falling out. How does everyone keep it from rotating parts or other places where it shouldn't be? I've tried...
