Thanks guys. I'll have a chance to look at it this weekend. How long does it take for the breaker to trip? I was away from the cab for probably 20 seconds and when I got back there was quite a bit of smoke. Last time I drove the truck everything was fine. Hm, it must be an airplane, broke...

Hi everyone. Went to move my M35 this weekend and found I had no lights. No headlights, no turn signals, nothing. Jumped out to verify nothing worked and when I got back to the cab there was smoke coming from under the dash. I turned the light switch off real quick and the smoke stopped...

I have Hagerty. I'm in Georgia. They insured my Deuce without batting an eye. Couldn't tell you how much it is because I have several vehicles insured with them and they send me one big bill every year. I assume the usage restrictions are the same as the cars. When I bought the truck I...

Ah, so I can't get a radial tire in a size equivalent to 900x20. I hadn't considered that. I don't have any interest in converting the whole truck to a different size so NDTs it is. Thanks. .. I did a cursory look under the front end and didn't see anything askew. That must be my basis for...

Hi everyone. I haven't seen this question asked yet. I'm needing to put a pair of tires on the front of my Deuce, and was wondering if I got radials, would they somehow react poorly with the NDTs on the back. The front tires look okay, but give me a death wobble above 30mph. Question B, if I...

Dasgog are we the same person? This sounds exactly like me. I let my truck sit a couple years, then nothing I would do would get it to start, and had to have it hauled off for 2K worth of work. Well, some of that was "might as wells." But you've inspired me, I'm going to fire up my truck...

Yes I read all that. But I'm wondering what became of 86m1028. He was wading through several suggestions and never got back with what actually fixed his problem, if a fix was ever achieved. He did opine that the fix might be a different engine.

Thirteen years later, what was the outcome of this problem? My 90 Suburban 6.2 is doing this exact thing. I did a google search and it brought up this thread. I can't access The Truck Stop through the link and I can't find the thread on their website. Truck ran great, then it sat a couple...

I've read conflicting things. That they will be taken care of locally, and that the PO isn't allowed to sell anything and they will all be scrapped. That being said I have seen LLVs out in the wild so someone knew something, or someone. I don't want one to use, I just want one. Just as...

Hi everyone. I'm enquiring about liquidators that the government uses for the trucks and whatnot, I figure someone here would be knowledgeable and might be able to answer my question. Call me crazy, but I want an LLV. Will the Post Office be disposing of them through places like GovPlanet or...

Welcome from Stockbridge. I had one of these trucks for a short time, a few years ago. Wish I wouldn't have sold it. Good luck with it they are way cool.

No I haven't rotated the tires yet. It's on the list. I'll post up my findings once I do. Thanks again everyone.

Thanks guys. Steering has been checked and it's relatively tight. The problem didn't start until I put on the "new" tires.

Hi everyone. I get a death wobble in my Deuce around 35-40 mph. Steering wheel shakes pretty hard but the truck doesn't wander. I'm suspecting it's the front tires; I bought a used pair of take-offs. They look okay but might be out of round or unbalanced. Question, can I swap the front...

I never had any trouble registering my Deuce and a half. In fact the State of Georgia thinks it's a pickup truck.
