Guest Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Me want! I'd slap a roll back on one of those and AAA stickers and see how much tow biz I bring in! They diesel, I imagine the engine can't possibly be that big, maybe 7-8 MPG. Like a diesel service truck. Edit: they come with a Cat 3116. My truck has a 3126. It's a better version than the 3116.

yzrider Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 3rd Gen deuces came with the cat engines 2nd gems came with a multifuel diesel engine. Can run kerosene, veggie oil, gasoline, diesel, used motor oil, or even vodka. basically anything flammable. Supposed to be nearly 10 mpg as they sit. The second gems are also all 5 speed with a splitter effectively making them a 10 speed manual! 3rd gems are all auto. Lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooohh, second gens sound like a grown childs dream! 3rd gen must have the Cat 3116 mated to an Allison 2400 series or greater auto trans. They're bullet proof. But yeah, lame, auto. I would so buy one.... But I'd like to remain married. Wouldn't be able to explain that to wife. Well, maybe if I said I was turning it into a tow truck. There is a bunch of them for sale on the internet with insane LOW miles of like 3K -9K! WOW! That's not even broken in yet! Not for a Cat engine at least.

383chevelle Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 You would be crazy not to. I have been drooling over one of these for awhile. The thought of the look on traffic and parkings face when they saw that thing sitting in the school parking lot would be priceless!!! Also they make awesome 4x4 when you bob the rear end and put a bed on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know man, there are plenty of H1's rolling around. And have you seen those GMC 6500 trucks people are using as pick up trucks? They're commercial size vehicles, 4 doors and equiped with a truck bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bha280 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 My friend had a 1965 Unimog. Thing was awesome, slow but unbelievable off-road. 6 forward gears, 2 reverses, and had a throttle hand stick. It had custom made wheels with 38" Swampers. In 4-low you could just let your foot off the break and it would go. Climbed a couple of junk cars that way. I'll try and find a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threedoor Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 what happens if you hit a soft bottom or a deep hole in the river They had a lifeboat tied to the back Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper1355 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 The thing I always thought was cool was how the 2nd gens will run on anything that's vaguely flammable, and they'll do it with minimal maintenance forever. And that it'll go over anything you want...like the guy who decided to drive the truck down the river instead of the boat. If I lived out in the country more, I'd so have one.

Project83 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 There is a guy in my little town that has a 2nd gen with the rear bobbed and a truck bed it's one of the coolest 4x4's i've ever been around... scarey to see it rolling down the road towards you. When i was looking at them the cost of replacing the tires turned me off pretty quick since most of the ones i was looking at had bad weather checked old tires on them and the tires are way spendy. I'de still love to have one some day though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mig8788 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 They are very cool to own and drive. People always looking at you when your riding in one. I have two friends that have three and they are almost unstoppable. We have taken it down in the lake and take them to the beach every year which is a 5hr trip. He runs on used motor oil and gear lube. He hardly ever pays to fill up. There is a forum called steel soilders that has everything you could ever what to know about them. Yea so with that being said i would by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF600 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I drove a duce and a half when I was in the service. I wouldn't want to gas it up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
