Gentlemen, Happy Veterans Day!
I do appreciate the kind words! It has been a labor of love, to get the Deuce to the point that it would be "parade ready"! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_cool.gif" alt="Cool">
It is hard to beat the feeling when Veterans want to ride in your Deuce! <img...

I have heard that trying to teach a pig to fly doesn't work, it is a waste of time, and it really annoys the pig! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_wink.gif" alt="Wink">.......Polar bears are far more dangerous to mess with! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_dead.gif" alt="Dead">
I am sure...
SS members!
I didn't mean to confuse anyone!
My Deuce doesn't idle that rough at idle speed, so I let it idle for 5 min., and only 5 min., THEN I increase the idle speed UP to 800/850 until it is warmed up! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_reyes.gif" alt="Reyes">
OK, OK, maybe I BABY my Deuce...
MM!
It isn't the engine temp that you are concerned about after driving, it is the turbo temperature!
The turbo needs to run a idle speed to allow it to cool down!
On start-up, you want to let the turbo run at idle speed for 5 min. BEFORE you incease the speed, to allow proper lubrication...
MM!
Are you sure that you want to jack the idle speed up to 800 rpm?
When you are done driving the truck, you need to let it cool down at idle for 5 min., before you shut it off!
At 800 rpm, it will take longer, and if you forget, could do some damage!
What I do, is let the truck warm up for...
Pappa-G!
Make sure that the 80W-90 wasn't anointed by a leak! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif" alt="Big Smile">

If you are a little short on the "wing" part of "a wing and a prayer", then make sure that you bring more prayer! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif" alt="Big Smile">

Check to make sure that the brake shoes aren't dragging on the drum! The springs that hold the shoes off the drum can break or could be missing!
My transfer case lever doesn' make noise or move around, it doesn't sound right to me! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_shrug.gif" alt="Shrug">

Drive your new Deuce everywhere you go, and you won't have to worry about going over 100 mph! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_wink.gif" alt="Wink"><img src="emoticons/icon_smile_rotfl.gif" alt="ROTFL"><img...

I just heard about a manual shift conversion for the sprag!
It comes with new gears and a shift lever!?
It is supposed to be available at Memphis Equipment!$$$$$$$$$$$

I have an idea! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_idea.gif" alt="Idea">
Check with larger pipeline companies to see if they have any pipeline trucks!
They probably bought them up, as they became surplus, and there are all kinds of them sitting in yards, not being used!
See if there is...
Kenny!
Did you ever find out if the outfit in Oshkosh Wisconsin had anything that you need?
Will you be making a pilgimige to the frozen North? <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_paw.gif" alt="Paw"><img src="emoticons/icon_smile_paw.gif" alt="Paw"><img src="emoticons/icon_smile_paw.gif"...
RC4X4!
I know if I was lucky enough to find a pipeline truck, that I would want it done real fast!
I did see the pictures, and you DO have a project on your hands! I wish that I was closer so I could help you with it! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_thumzup.gif" alt="Thumb Up">
