I have all Truck-Lite LED lights.
I think I needed to replace the factory M35A2 flasher because it had reached the end of its life.
The M35A2 has one flasher module on the driver side of the firewall in the engine bay.
The different LED lights out there have mainly cosmetic differences. I...
Although I have a M35A2 bobber I did have to eventually swap out my flasher unit to an aftermarket one. I have LED headlights, taillights and front turn signals. Sometimes my blinkers would work, other times they wouldn't. I checked all of my grounds as well as all of the 24v connections...
Go to DMV early, and bring a box of assorted donuts. You will pass every time as long as a few of those donuts have sprinkles on them. Ask me how I know...
I'm not actually sure how Cars & Coffee shows got started, but it's worldwide now. The goal is to have a regular car show at a parking lot where coffee and or donuts are served. This allows people to show up early on a weekend and pack a parking lot because cops think we are regular customers...
I attended a Cars & Coffee car show today in Baton Rouge, LA. One of my friends flew his drone around the show, and I guess my deuce made the cut a few times!

Well, the size of my horn finally matches the size of my bobbed deuce! Maybe in good spirits I should shorten the horn to only 3 bells instead of 5? :D
They warned me this horn setup would suck up some air. Boy does it! Just a few seconds takes 25 psi. I'm told the horn setup can use 70...

I bought the entire disc brake kit from Black Rock Fab. Reach out to Kyle either by sending him a private message to blackrock or by visiting his website, www.blackrockfab.com.
I have a hydroboost setup on my bobbed deuce along with a disc brake kit from a F-550.

I bet if he bobbed it there wouldn't be any further engine problems. Less weight to haul around.

Good luck getting it torn down and fixed.

I installed O'Reilly's part number 31-130 blades, but my M35A2 already had an electric wiper system installed. Not sure what wiper arms you have.
Take a look at my personal deuce website page on my Civvy wiper conversion for more information.
