Looked it up on Google Maps. That is some serious terrain around a snow covered volcano. The demeanour of the driver and his compadres suggests that this is not their first rodeo. I wonder what the live span between serious services/repairs is for a Deuce under these road and load conditions...

If you have access to a manual three lever switch, you might consider swapping that one in to check whether or not this gives you your lights back. I understand that the electronic switch must have its own grounding wire that you attach and connect to a good ground before you even put power to...

How, one might ask, do the other hundreds of different truck variants in the civy world manage this risk? No RH/LH threads there.

Some people junk all their left hand thread struds and replace with RH thread throughout. Just an uncalled for five cent piece of trivia :-)

I have had them for only over a year and zero issues. No hard offroading, though.

Guy told me once " Just the fact you have to ask should tell you to replace it". Seriously, though. No, the shoes do not look horrible. On the other hand, they are not really good, either. The edge damage is not normal wear. You have everything apart and a new shoe is, what, $25? If it were my...

I have JT's spin on oil filters and eventually installed Westfolk's primary and secondary fuel filter setup. Why? The primary spin on is so much easier to get to and service/change. Every time you toss the spin on filters, you also get a new o ring/gasket, reducing the leak issue. The double...

Lenny, try the "old deuce" forum. In here, the threads are on the newer models.

Talk about reviving a cold, frozen thread!

Nice! Man. I so need a business that would support the building of a pole building for workshop and truck storage. If I built one for pleasure only, I could not justify the cost.

Well, you can lean it over all the way just before it tips. Sorry. Could not help it. In fact, there is a stability study: http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA255507 On page 11, the report states that 25 degrees is "about half" the angle required to tip the truck over - so, you are...

Affirmative. No rubber bumpers on the panel.

Now, now..she will enjoy frost-free, safe and covered storage until end of March. I go see her every few months and start her up. Temps here are dropping, I will be away for two weeks and then snow will be imminent. I do not drive my truck in the winter on our heavily salted roads. No way. She...

A dropside. Nice! I appreciate mine - much more versatile than the fixed sides. Also a heater and what looks to be an overhauled front axle (tag on it). A little paint and she will look just fine.

I can report: all pulleys are tight, harmonic dampener seems to do its job, no noise from front of engine. Nothing out of the ordinary underneath; checked with the engine running. All exhaust components are tight but there is a rattle from the flapper on top of the stack when I grab and shake...

Thanks. Will check.

I am always listening for odd sounds amongst the multitude of rackets my truck makes. Lately, when started cold and idling, there is a sound reminding me of a marble/pebble rattling around in a blender. The sound is independent of the transfer case engaged or not and independent of the clutch...

OMG! What happened? Pheeewww! You got me there for a moment! :mrgreen:

I second the LED beacon. Minimal draw and high visibility, especially at night. Oh, and: no gears to strip.

I second that. I had to swap out two times; the third one seems to be the charm.
