ecostruction, Always check your wheel hubs after the first 5 to 10 minutes of travel, and then again later on. That being said, I had a similar issue with my 105 trailer. Hooked up the service line on the deuce and took a drive down the freeweay. When I got off the freeway and parked I...

Greeting Lefteris and welcome to SS! Very nice pics by the way! -Tyler

bbf, nice looking truck! I really like the king cab look. Just looks great to me. Very Nice. Nothing wrong with a little custom work... -Tyler

I agree with rest in replacing the wiring harness with new. Not sure what vehicle you have, but I did a complete wiring harness replacement on my Deuce and it was pretty straightforward and didn't take too much time to do. However I did have to custom fabricate my own Rear Wiring Harness...

You are correct in the response of Smash Lab (or Mythbusters, Though I think it was Smash Lab Too) that used the CO2 fire extinguisher to kill a car engine while driving. They had to use a ton more because they were moving and in a lead car trying to kill a chase car... However, if you have...

3KW at 208V is only 14.42 Amps and 3KW at 240V is only 12.5 Amps, if I did my math correctly. As an HVAC Contractor, I could tell you that running most residential A/C Units from this size of a generator would most likely trip the generators circuit breaker due to the starting current required...

WOW!!! :razz::razz::razz: Could you just imagine seeing that in your rear view mirror in your personal car??? I'd crap my pants most likely... hahaha.... That's just huge and comes with one hefty price tag BTW. Just thought I'd comment on it...

Hmmm... Sounds like a short in the wiring harness maybe? If so, that sux. Already replaced the wiring harness in my deuce. Wasn't too bad really, except for having to fabricate the entire rear harness from scratch since no one had one in stock at that time. Couldn't really imagine having to...

What's up BigMike!!! How my brother from another mother doing... haha J/K. Good talking to you on the phone the other day. Still waiting for your much needed return to So. Cal! Anyways, good luck to you on the winch rebuild. BTW - An improper winch shear pin could damage the shaft and...

Spentshell, From a HAM Radio perspective (Though CB is Essentially the same/similar) what can effect the reception is proper grounding of the Antenna and Case of the radio as well as Antenna Location. If the antenna whip is too close to metal per say, it can have an adverse effect on the...

Love that custom Hard Top. Looks like someone was handy with some sheet metal and custom fabricated a new one. It's a fixer-upper to those that are worthy... -Tyler

What's up ladies and gents????? Just found this thread. Good to know that people are talking good behind my back, HAHA.... Anyways, the truck (As previously linked to earlier in this thread) sold to a dead beat bidder in OHIO! Guess that guy could not read english all that well and didn't...

Duly noted emmado22... I've ran into similar issues in regards to height clearance. On my Deuce the antenna was mounted on the drivers side, front left corner, of the bed. I was able to clear most bridges/overpasses, but there were many areas that it still wouldn't clear. However, the...

As a Ham Radio Operator myself callsign KI6LMI, I can say that you want your antenna mounted as high as possible and securely grounded to the vehicle. If you are mount is being bolted to wood or a non-metal surface then you'll need a grounding strap. DO NOT USE standard wire as a grounding...

Cranetruck, Thanks for the info. I just cut the rubber hose that goes between the fitting shown and the heater rail and put a plug in it. No more leaks! Doesn't get cold enough out here to use it in the first place. Thanks again! Tyler

I've got a fuel leak and am not sure what to do about it. The pictures are from a LDT-465 Multifuel Motor. Off of the top of the turbo there is a fitting on the left hand side with a rubber hose attached (Where the yellow ring is shown.) The left hand side of this fitting is leaking fuel when...

CurryRA, My brother used the FATMAT Product in his 1972 Morris Minor Mini-Cooper. He said that stuff is really sticky and works very well. Considering the price difference between the FatMat and DynaMat, he said it was well worth it. Just thought that I'd let you know, Tyler

Here's a couple more. Cya, Tyler

I too made it home safe and sound. Wife is a little mad for not being able to call but oh well... Had several hangups trying to get out there on Friday. Threw up before my flight back to OC and then again the parking lot at John Wayne when I landed. Went home and rested for a couple of...
