Possibly just a stuck/sticking fuel stop lever in the injection pump? Lots of posts on here covering that.

I'm in no rush and thanks for keeping me in mind. Been busy plowing and working with my new rescue dog.

I wasn't aware of that. One more thing on the list of items to track down. =)

That's where the truck came from. Appears to be the original unit markings.

I actually did read your thread not too long ago. Very interesting. That's why the treadle valve caught my eye on the newer version.

That's awesome. Thanks Ken. =)

I would have to go back and watch the video again but it looked like the brake system used a standard treadle valve. Interesting…

Looks like quite a few upgrades on those compared to our old girls.

Picked up a pair of the IR driving lights to add to the Deuce. Looking at the mounting locations/options raised a few questions though. Option 1: Mounted on the fender using modified turn signal mounts/guards as shown below. This is the cleanest but since I have a winch truck it seems that the...

Exactly. It has been confirmed to me directly by the WSDOT in multiple emails that the GVWR on the data plate is what they go by. The GVWR's are combined when a trailer is in tow. When I was looking at gooseneck trailers I had to find one that when combined with the 12,000 GVWR of my pickup kept...

My brain went straight to this question too Rusty.

Did you end up going with rubber seals or liquid sealant for the windshield?

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Collector vehicle plates = no loads allowed (and no CDL required) and it can only be used for occasional driving. Non-collector plates = limited to the 26,000 lb GVWR or GCWR. It would appear that we are in agreement on the law and how it applies. PM...

Finally found the comments. Post #24 through #26 of this thread. It sounds like turning down the air pressure to the steering may help a bit.

Thanks G. What an intriguing design.

I have what appears to be a new take-off Air-O-Matic kit sitting on the shelf waiting to be installed. Still undecided if I want to add it to the truck or let it go. Something that I saw in an old thread keeps nagging at me. Someone mentioned that when going through long curves you had to bump...

I checked on historic plates with the DOL here in Spokane WA. I was told that it would get me around the weight rating issue but that I couldn't legally haul anything in the bed (not even so much as a personal dump run) and no towing trailers. I can't wait to jump the line into Idaho so that I...

This was my first thought after reading the brochure. I would love to see a diagram of the design.

That's not my personal experience. I had a 4700LP that had a GVWR of 23,000 that I poured a ton of money into just to find out that all I could legally use it for was to pull my 5th wheel. Even putting my car trailer behind it put me over the 26,000 limit for GVWR and GCWR. I was stopped by the...

Exactly my point. Granted, a lot of my expense is stacks of spare parts that I hope to never need but mine would have broken $15k quite easily just bringing her up to snuff.
