    Going to look at a deuce

    That truck is currently, or was recently listed on ebay. Looks good from the pics, but then again, a fresh coat of paint makes things look good in pictures. Tough to tell till you see it in person.

    Why won't the fmtv wheels work with the new centers?

    24 volt trailer wiring to 12v Using Relays Diagram

    Thank you Jim for the reply. I do understand the diagram. I think. The issue is with the brake vs tail light signal and the fact that they use the same bulb. I think its only an issue if you pull the brake light signal from the brake controller. If you use the plug signal you will be ok...

    24 volt trailer wiring to 12v Using Relays Diagram

    Is there no turn signal when the brakes are on? I am not near my truck at the moment.

    24 volt trailer wiring to 12v Using Relays Diagram

    Ok. I am duplicating this, and I have everything I need to do so. The question I have involves the wiring of the brake signal and turn signal. If it is wired per the diagram, won't the turn signal not flash when the brake is depressed? The brake and the turn signal share the same light, I...

    I think 1200 is safe, even sustained. 1300 for short term is fine too. Aluminum melt point is 1220f, keep that in mind, so the egts have to sustain higher than that for a good period of time to do damage. Why the change of heart on the c turbo? If anything, they make less boost. I have a d as...

    From reading on here and driving my own truck, it seems like your fuel setting is on the higher side already. 15 pounds of boost I believe is high. People turn up the fuel to achieve that level. For reference my truck pulls about 7 psi max, and I drive it foot to the floor on a couple of long...

    If anyone has a scrap wiper motor with a good shaft that they want to give away for free or cheap, I would appreciate it.

    I don't know what normal blowby or slobber is. I have no reference. What kind of mess does yours make?

    Mike D's deuce recovery/modification thread

    I'm sick of the truck slobbering all over my driveway, and more importantly, the parking lot at work. People have started to notice where I park. So i decided to make a cheap catch can. Rakor sells one for $100 but im cheap. $15 worth of pvc and some paint, and im all set now. Ill have to...

    Looking at buying my first deuce is this a good deal?

    In PA or Ohio, you should be able to get a decent winch truck for around $6k with stock A2 wheels and NDT's. The value rises with the add ons such as the A3 wheels and whatever tires are on there, and air assist. A new set of 395's with A3's will run you north of $3K, even if you are willing...

    Looking at buying my first deuce is this a good deal?

    Is this the truck that has the paint stripped off the bed, and he hasn't done the cab yet? It has to be the same truck in PA. That guy dodged me for weeks at the end of last year, even after talking to him a couple of times. I eventually gave up, even though it was posted again on CL...

    Mike D's deuce recovery/modification thread

    Opted to take the truck into work this morning. 10 degrees out, it started on the third try. My batteries aren't strong, so I have to make sure of my starting procedure. I choose not to use the manifold heater as it seems to just dump fuel on the turbo and kill the batteries quicker. With...

    LT. Dan M35a2 Modification Thread

    Its difficult to say when you have two variables working against you. The fdc and the unseasonably cold temps. I would personally rule those two out before being worried or doing anything else. As for the cold starting, id say locate the cold start tm procedure. Ill try to find it for you when...

    I don't have much to offer other than I let my truck idle over 1000 rpm for a good 15 minutes until it is warmed up. Two or three clicks out on the throttle cable. Unless I pull it out, it idle around 5 or 6 hundred rpm which is too low imo. Its freak in cold out still so I don't find that...
