    Napa 6tl batteries

    I think the bigger problem is the employee not knowing how to find the acid in the system. A couple years ago I was working at Autozone and a customer asked me for some battery acid. I searched the system for 10 minutes and could not find it. When I went to the store manager who had been with...

    Slow deuce

    I have a non turbo and it will do 55 on the flats but any grade at all and speed starts to drop fast. If you have not changed fuel filters I would suggest that first. It is hard to diagnose problems when you have delinquent service items because you will always second guess yourself. My truck...

    Flame heater in exhaust pipe

    When I had the flame shooter on my car the only fuel I used that worked was gasoline. All other flammable substances would not work at all.

    Turbo question

    Usually it is really obvious when a turbo fails but 1/16 of movement is normal for journal bearing turbo

    Bed mounted accessory crane location INFO

    It has a large bearing in the base so it spins freely even under load.

    Bed mounted accessory crane location INFO

    https://prowinch.com/ I found the product on amazon then found their website and bought directly from them. Keep in mind the reason Jeff Bezos is one of the richest men alive is because he charges 30% off the top of everything sold on his website. So whenever you see a product on amazon you can...

    Found this in oil, what is it?

    I would be more concerned with the fact that it is over full on oil. Keep a eye on the level and don’t be afraid to smell the oil when you pull the dipstick. It is possible you are getting fuel in to your oil somewhere.

    Bed mounted accessory crane location INFO

    I got the poor mans knuckle boom installed Friday and have used it for a couple jobs so far. This is far from a perfect tool but for the price I am more than satisfied with what I can do with it. Here are some pictures of the location and support used to install. I would have loved to wield a...

    Favorite noise your deuce makes

    Hank I am not a huge advocate for a bobber but I love your truck. I know you have heard it a million times but we’ll done.

    Bed mounted accessory crane location INFO

    I just got this lift to install in the bed of my deuce to make loading and unloading heavy objects easier. I am looking for opinions on if you think my proposed mounting location is going to cause any issues. I want to make it as close to the back and side as possible but I need to leave enough...

    Favorite noise your deuce makes

    hopefully one day I can either add a turbo to my truck or obtain one with a turbo. That is a sound I do enjoy and do not have.

    Inherited deuce, looking for some help with identification

    Sorry for your loss. That is a cool truck I like the flat bed and the engine is definitely unique. Don’t be afraid to post some more pics. The brakes will normally be stiffer than a car but you should not have to stand on them to get them to work. If I stood on the pedal in my truck it would...

    Favorite noise your deuce makes

    The best sound my truck makes is under full load between 1500 and 1700 rpm. It is music to my ears. What is the best sound your truck makes and it can be anything related to your truck not just limited to exhaust tone.

    I went back and bought the truck

    thanks I have the lo and don’t think that I missed any but I definitely plan on giving this rig a healthy diet of grease. I have not even used the winch yet but I will look in to the shear pins.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I really like that added piece of diamond plate it would help with working on the truck not worrying about missing my step from the fender to bumper

    I went back and bought the truck

    I just got done greasing every fitting I could find along with fuel filters and a oil and filters. Those fuel filters were terrible like I suspected. About to go for a drive to check if it has a little more pep.
