This past weekend, my thermocouple failed (I'm assuming).... I was driving 55 on the freeway up a long gentle grade, keeping the EGT just below 1200 when the needle on my Turbocator gauge slowly began to drop to zero. It doesn't work at all now. I realize that the thermocouple probes operate...

I bought mine, complete NOS on eBay.... They do come up there.

I'm happy to see another of Tom's kits get installed.... I am anxious to get a kit myself. My deuce is on it's 3rd transmission in 7,000 miles (since 2006) and it has basically failed too. On the Tower Park convoy last month it started making some noise at idle with the clutch released (input...

Did ARP do a destructive test on a multi rod bolt? I would be interested in their analysis of them, maybe it's a design issue, not a quality issue? It would suck to order 500+ bolts and have them be no better than what can be found NOS on the surplus market. Assuming ARP's bolts made to the...

I believe Barstow Truck Parts has (had?) a pair of those except they had 3 axles in the rear. They were air force strata blue and had Detroit 8v-71s in them. Monstrous! Jon

64 :grin:

Neat tool! I never knew such a thing existed.... Jon

I really like those trailers and look forward to following this project. Can a deuce tractor pull that trailer okay? Jon

Aren't those compressors made by Midland? I would think with a model/serial number, any truck parts place should be able to order a repair kit.... I don't think they're anything special but I could be wrong...

If the engine is still running good, the IP is not "toast".... There are just a few o-rings that can go bad and leak fuel into the oil (besides the bypassed FDC), and it's really pretty easy to replace them and it only costs a few bucks. Only the injector lines, hydraulic head, and a few pieces...

Dirtbag is really just a 'cleanup' event where about half of the participants happen to drive MVs to get there. And that is not to knock Dirtbag, just to point out that they are not the same kind of event at all. I am an MV enthusiast first and foremost, and a 'cleanup' enthusiast a far...

Cool video Jim! Despite the sore back from 400 miles each way, I'm already looking forward to next year when I plan to have my mule there. With the current trend in fuel prices, a convoy like ours may become something like, "Remember when we used to drive our deuces all the way to Tower...

Is the M37 noisy enough to need it? Nice install.... You know Fair Radio has or had 2'6" CX-4723 cables, I've seen them elsewhere even shorter. Also, I've shortened them myself.... It's not fun, but I think it would look better than the coils of spare cable. Jon

I stand corrected... per Wikipedia, he's "Chairman of the Board". I'm very good at voting with my dollars, I give very very little, if any, to those kind of folks/companies. China too!... Sorry to hijack the thread, I've said my 2cents

Read about Pete r Le wis (ceo), Geo rge So r os, and Move On dot org and you'll never give Progress ive one cent of your money again. They are not your friends. Just sayin'...

It's FIXED! I e-mailed Steve Haney and described the problem just as I did in my first post here, and he responded that I should take the covers off and look at the high voltage circuit breaker..... Sure enough, it was tripped and was not self-resetting when the power was turned on. I called...

I want to be immediately notified when someone enters my property.... This is my idea: Seco-Larm 35' Photoelectric Beam Sensor (E-931-S35RRQ) - eBay (item 110597512769 end time May-09-11 16:01:59 PDT) These can be discrete enough that the scumbag(s) will walk right through the beam, which...

Wow, it disintegrated right down to the bare center wire? ....No, mine was perfectly intact and flexible. I'm sure the seller will send you another one, but if you have some suitable cable, like the long CX-4720 that I have, you could cut the length you need from one of those and assuming you...

I don't doubt that fresh fuel is a good idea, but there's no way I'd dispose of 300 gallons of diesel. I've run much older diesel fuel than that with no problems.... Even if it had water and algae in it, I'd filter it and use it. Jon

Devin, is that a rattlesnake? ....I love rattlesnakes!
