    Thanks, Guys thanks for the info. I have to go up to Indianapolis for the week, but as soon as I get back I am going to dig into the problem. I was wondering if all that copper tubing had anything to do with the steering system. By the way there is no Psst. sound when I turn. James G.

    GL reselling trucks

    Me To I just got a Deuce that was rebid when the original bidder failed to pickup the truck. I think some people get caught up in the bidding an go overboard on the prices, I got the truck for less than half of the price from the first round of bidding. James G.
