My buddy has a deuce and I asked him why he leaves it in high gear and doesn't use low. So he showed me why. In traffic especially it gets going and keeps up so much better in high gear plus it's a lot easier on the driver. I've had the privilege of getting to drive it. The first time I drove it I asked if he had any pointers. He said "drive it like you're angry and like you stole it. Just keep the tach under 2500." I totally see what he means. These things don't just slide into gear and they are a handful. You don't simply go through the gears. No, you aggressively put them into every gear. On the downshift if you don't know how to double clutch or rev match just don't do it. I will own a deuce someday. It's a bucket list item. Cool video man!!
@@deborahchesser7375 You're right. I like hitting the trails when I can. I got my Dakota stuck a few times and on the same trail, I took the deuce on last weekend. Didn't even use 6 wheel drive and it plowed right through.
That military truck sounds like a dodge 12 valve Cummins sounds awesome 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Love it! Been looking for one for a while. Not many in close proximity to me and the ones that are, either aren’t for sale, made of gold, or too much work for me.
Idk if it's just the video or if it actually makes your truck quieter having a larger exhaust? Mine still has the factory 3 inch straight pipe and it's annoyingly loud but sounds good from the distance.
Nice. I just bought a '69 Jeep Kaiser with 395's on it. Pretty clean and in good shape with a strong motor. Been driving it to work everyday! You part of the Steel Soldiers forum? They have a rally in Haspin Indiana June 23-27. Worth going to if you're not too far away.
I’ve seen that it looks like a kick ass event and the trucks are super nice. I missed one for $400 needed brake work i didn’t have the dough, that sucked.
Bro. An you make another driving video but the camera pointing at you from underneath the steering wheel so we can see your clutching and shifting better? It would be so amazing bro!
The only ones I've seen by AM General were the A3's as part of the Extended Service Program. They had an extended hood for the CAT engine, and an Allison automatic transmission. They were built from 94-99. As far as I know these trucks went to BLM, Forest Service, Park Service and foreign military sales. A few went to Guard units pending fielding of the LMTV's.

nothing beats the sound of a big diesel going through gears
I miss these. I always wanted one.
Sound of pure freedom🇺🇸
We bought a 68 deuce two months ago. Love it!!!
Probably a Kaiser being that age ? Love em. Yes no ? What is it lol
I got a 69 Kaiser two weeks ago. Love driving it!
@@toddk1377 not much they can’t do. They have post hole diggers and all kind of implements for the PTO’s.

PM me your serial number, mine is a 68 too
I like your idea about wrapping the steering wheel with paracord, how much paracord did you end up using?

That car at 1:37 hahaha
13:41 sums up the life of driving a deuce and a half on the highway lol

That gorgeous thing be so nice at the red river. plenty of sand man. texas oklahoma border.
Sounds great! TY!

Do you have power steering in that rig?
Waht kind of fuel do you run on that thing?
Bro. An you make another driving video but the camera pointing at you from underneath the steering wheel so we can see your clutching and shifting better? It would be so amazing bro!
Nice any updates?
I lived in a deuce for a year and half in my first unit.
很懷念當兵時就是開著種M35A2卡車
How is it owning one?
I'm looking at possibly trading my victory motorcycle for one.
Здравствуйте тяжело ездить хотел бы на нём прокатиться по Америке вообще круто
might buy one things SICK!
Nice video. Thanks!
I just to fix those trucks in the army, good truck
Keep on bro
Boy you can shift good
None turbo ?
Depends on your engine. Some are turbocharged, some not
If you have a non-turbo LD-465-1, then it's been out of circulation for a long time. Clean Air Kits were mandatory starting in late 1984.
Que caminhao bom
100 km h
That poor transmission
A waste of fuel just to hear noise. Those trucks aren't exactly fuel efficient.
Yeah I don't think anybody drives it for it's fuel efficiency. It's more of a large very strong and capable toy.
I'm looking for an am general m35a2
