I can't tell you how many times I've fallen asleep to the beautiful sounds of this video. Thank you for making the entire video of just the truck in action! :)
no problem, i kind of wanted to make this channel because i like to just listen to trucks and engines, i think far to many people put music and talking over the sounds of the vehicles.
Very good video! My Deuce is down right now and I am trying to figure out what the problem is but this video just made me remember how much fun I have driving it so thanks for posting a video that reminds me why I love driving these trucks and it makes me want to go out and get mine running again! Thanks man!
Please let that old LDT 465 Multifuel engine breathe a little bit more... try not to let the RPM's go below 1500 when the truck is under load. The jump from 3rd to 4th is pretty tall with the Spicer 3053 transmission that your truck has. Don't be afraid to tach it up to 2500 in 3rd to shift to 4th. That's still below the 2600-2650 redline, It'll keep the RPM's above 1500, and keep your truck from lugging. If it wants to grind a bit when you shift into 4th with the R's that high (this doesn't necessarily indicate a syncro problem... it's a typical hit-n-miss occurrence with these old trucks) then double-clutch it, or give it a second to dwell in neutral before slipping it down into 4th. - Thanks.
Greetings from Ohio. I just put new steer tires on mine. Someone put dump truck tires on it and they were all dry rotted. I picked up 2 new 9.00-20 Titan 373s already on wheels on craigslist for $700. I love driving mine. It will haul 2 cord of wood like nobody's business.
@@leoweber3629 Technically it still is,anything that is oil,fluid,or diesel can be used in a multi-fuel but so can the same in a normal diesel truck.The only main differences are that the 7.8L has different pistons,injectors,and fuel pumps.
@@ThisGuysStuffandStuff , almost looks like the Colville area. Thanks for the video. If you ever get to the Kootenays, up here, just the other side of the border, look me up...
@@ThisGuysStuffandStuff awesome, i been looking at 375s ndts theyre the same style but a little taller that way i can gain some road speed, but i might just keep the original ndts on my truck. whered you order the tires from?
@@johndowe7003 got them from eastern surpplus and equipment co. And those 375s are what they used on the 5 tons right after the deuce rights? the M56 and M800's right? those are still good tires
Correct me if I'm wrong, please, but isn't it in the US laws that a truck this size doesn't require a CDL (class B?) if not equipped with air brakes? I may be crossed up on this matter.
right yep no cdl, same with 5 ton trucks, iit's only when you get to HET that you do, but only if you use it commercially, if it is still just personal use then you still don't need a cdl, even though a HET is rated for 150,000 lbs of towing.
it is a 465 LDT ( 465 is 4.65 inch bore it's a 7.7L engine ) it is a multi fuel engine. in particular this is a Continental engine...technical this isn't a diesel engine it's a hypercylcle engine it uses very high compression to burn raw fuel in a bowl in the piston, it dosen't atomize the fuel like a diesel, pros is that it can quite literally burn anything you put in it (used motor oil, coolant, trans fluid, diesel, gas, vegetable oil) cons, these don't make much power and are kinda fuel hogs. this makes 145 hp and 440 ft lbs
@@ThisGuysStuffandStuff Yours is a LDT-465 with 135 HP/330 TQ.Just a little off.The multi-fuel is a 7.8L and not a 7.7L. The LDS-465 made 175 HP/447 TQ. The "465" is the cubic inches that are correlated to the litres of them,and the compression on them is 22:1. Gasoline can also be used in a multi-fuel if it is mixed with motor oil or diesel,at 70%/30% not 50/50% .Gas shouldn't be a necessity unless it is a emergency,but it would last a quarter mile until that engine dies.When the different pistons,injectors,and fuel pumps are put aside,it's still a ignition compression engine.
@@Slim_Slid yup your right, i had some misinformation at the time. i find it generally difficult to find good information of these engines. Something i still don't know is what an LDS 465 is, not the LDS 427. because i've seen some poeple say it's twin turbo, and others say that its turbo with a super charger, or that is just a bigger turbo. ????

Whistler turbo, black smoke and bald tires. My kinda guy! :)
Pulled those hills with ease. Clean whistler!
Brings back memories of my Army days back in the eighties. If I were prepping for a disaster and had to purchase a bug out vehicle, this is the one.
Livin the dream I'm so jealous!!!!!! Way to start the day off by. AMERICA .

I want one so bad...I’d make myself learn how to drive stick shift. 😁
Thats just too cool for school!
it easier to drive a truck stick than a car, so it's a good place to start, and a good excuse to "learn" to drive a stick.
**insert all the kids who drive one to school**

thank you for the info!
You're very welcome.
Sounds like maybe she needs her valves adjusted. Not too hard, dig around steelsoldiers for the cheat sheet
yeah i dont shift from 4th to 5th until im at about 2400rpm
I miss riding in the back in the field

Missing my Deuce so just scrolling around watching people enjoy there's. February 3rd can't get here fast enough get to pick my new one up.
Daniel Trobaugh how are you liking your new truck?
Ryan Davis loving it, currently in process of bobbing it.
Man I lo💖e this trucks
This Guy's is a This Guy's Stuff and Stuff truck man lol
Beautiful just beautiful.
I enjoyed this video, especially at the end. Nice diesel engine sound
thabokholofelo buthelezi it’s not a diesel

That's one of my dream trucks😍
That is a beautiful sound of a turbodiesel engine....
Miss that. I drove one in Desert Storm
Thank you for your service!
The whistle ❤️
My uncles neighbor has a deuce and a half. Well, it’s actually not his, his friend is keeping at his place. But that thing is nice. Wish I had one
Front rubber looks a little smooooooth!! LoL
yea hopefully getting new tiers for it soon
So great truck iliik it ☝️🤩
Next step down is a Buick deuce & a quarter (electra 225).
Tires without tread pattern. Crazy driver.
no, just great racing traction
Where is this? The landscape is gorgeous.
central washington
@@ThisGuysStuffandStuff , almost looks like the Colville area.
Thanks for the video.
If you ever get to the Kootenays, up here, just the other side of the border, look me up...
@@ThisGuysStuffandStuff I can tell this is Central Washington. I live in Wenatchee
Now you need to hitch a 105 howitzer to the back and that would be complete....
Sweet sound 😉👍
Sounds pretty lit! 😃
Looks like the Wenatchee area.
wenatchee is about 35 miles from us yeah
What state is this? Very nice M35. Liked.
Washington
What is that annoying buzz just before the truck starts.
That is telling the operator that the air tank is low
where is this at? beautiful country
central Washington
Are there any of these in ireland cos i want to import one
im not sure, but these are actually designed to be shipped, the come with instructions to do so haha
@@ThisGuysStuffandStuff in that case what would the price be roughly? Including shipping
@@alexhickey5633 yikes, well in shipping it would probably be 14,000 pounds (6350.2 Kilograms) so it would be expensive.
@@ThisGuysStuffandStuff dammit in that case i might be better off to build something
DX those front tires.
yeah, new tires soon for sure
@@ThisGuysStuffandStuff i tihnk you can cut them, theyre retread-able tires so they should have enough meat on em.
@@johndowe7003 got new tires on it know, uploading the videos, it took weeks haha
@@ThisGuysStuffandStuff awesome, i been looking at 375s ndts theyre the same style but a little taller that way i can gain some road speed, but i might just keep the original ndts on my truck. whered you order the tires from?

Is it missing a little pulling hills ? Kinda sounded like it
i am pertty sure it wasn't, it runs well, but cold haha
What is the top speed on this truck and are some of them different. I need one that can run 70 mph. Does anyone make re gear sets?
I heard you are advised to wear hearing protection to hit 45mph in one 🤷🏼♂️😂
Slow, mine will approach 60 but it doesn't sound good. 50 is its sweet spot pretty much.
55mph tops
do you need a CDL or any other type of straight truck license to drive it?
Justin Bierschenk No
ok thanks. i was just wondering
Correct me if I'm wrong, please, but isn't it in the US laws that a truck this size doesn't require a CDL (class B?) if not equipped with air brakes? I may be crossed up on this matter.

Yeah but the gvw still has to be under 26001lbs as well
nice shifting .
It got no engine breaks?
Is this Salt Lake City?
Nope, we are in Washington state
Where this country
We are in Washington USA
@@ThisGuysStuffandStuff doesnt anybody read the comments?
i think ur missin a wiper lmao
haha yeah lol, they dry out too fast, only putt them on during the snowy season
Sounds like its got a little bit of a miss
It sounds perfect.

Ah, okay. Just reminded me of being in Southern California.
Save up some money and buy new rubber and wipers.
wipers rot out if we put them on, but yeah haven't been driving it because of the tiers, just waiting for that dough
