My truck is half 24v and half 12v. I have a 24v alternator and starter, but Vanner equalizer and (2) fuse panels for 12v / 24v accessories. All of my gauges are Autometer 12v with their respective sending units. Here's a direct post link showing my gauges and the Vanner equalizer that gets...

Thanks for the kind words. The motor & trans came out of a Thomas Built bus. See the direct link here on my build thread to see where I yanked the motor/trans.

I replaced the dead electric oil pressure sender on my bobber earlier this week. Talk about a pucker factor while driving at 56 mph, 2700 rpm and the oil pressure goes from 75 psig to zero! No underwear was harmed in the process. Click here for the direct link to my build thread post to see...

Have you ever had that "pucker factor" moment while driving your pride and joy down the interstate when you think something horrible went wrong with the engine? I didn't think that the Cummins 12 valve (6BT) engine had suffered a catastrophic failure, but I noticed something wasn't right with...

Just got back from my 300 mile trip. No issues whatsoever. Notes from the journey: - Reached 200 hours of operation since the Cummins 6BT engine swap - Reached 3700 miles since engine swap - Top speed attained: 62mph (down Mississippi River Bridge) - Highest transmission temperature: 222 F...

I'm headed out in my bobbed deuce to visit the In-laws for the day in Pollock, LA. 300 miles round trip. Top speed 56 mph. Route: Hwy 73 in Prairieville to I-10 in Baton Rouge. I-10 to Hwy 415 in Port Allen. Hwy 415 to Hwy 190 in Port Allen. Hwy 190 to I-49 in Opelousas. I-49 to Hwy 167 in...

Define "run it like that until the spring"? Do you plan on driving your deuce daily? Or plan on parking it until warmer weather?

The end-all solution to bolts losing preload and backing off on driveshaft flanges is to add a pair of Nord-Lock washers behind every nut on each driveshaft flange bolt. I put these washer pairs on every single driveshaft bolt of my bobbed deuce, and NOTHING has backed off the original torque...

Yes sir. Both courtesy of CSM Davis. I like how it feels the emptiness left by not running a spare where the factory deuce spare resides.

I used my bobbed deuce today to back up traffic on the interstate for a little while. Traffic starts to build up on the East bound 2-lane interstate when the speed limit is 70 mph and my top speed is 55 mph. :D No harm done. Most that were passing by gave me a thumbs up or a wave...

Added a 10 pound fire extinguisher to the side of my bobber. Check out the [DIRECT LINK HERE] to my build thread post for more pictures and information on the fire extinguisher.

I finally added a 10 pound fire extinguisher to my bobber. The most appropriate place I found was underneath the spare tire rack on a deck plate next to the side toolbox. Drilled (4) holes in the side toolbox and a few minutes later voila! Notes: - The pictures don't show it, but the (2) easy...

mhb285 asked the engine question. Who's not reading now? ;)

I'm not sure what you are referring to?

Here's the blast gate setup that I put on my bobber for $15 (gate, springs and safety pin). The only true way to shut down a runaway 100% is to suffocate the engine. No air = no runaway. Fuel can be sourced from the diesel plumbing as well as the oil pan. Why put multiple shutoff valves...

I finished up repairs (new wheel bearings, axle seals, tie rods, greased tip-to-tail, axle fluid, transfer case fluid) from the August 2016 Louisiana Flood and finally hit the road again with my bobbed deuce! Couldn't tell the Ouverson locker was back there in the rear. Maybe I'm driving too...

So I finally got my bobbed deuce back on the road tonight after repairs from the great flood and the Ouverson rear locker install. She's been down since August 16th. Wow! Work has been the biggest reason for procrastination. The end-of-year push started in early September, and it's still...

I created a new page on my website for installing the rear locker. There are 88 total pictures. http://hanksdeuce.com/rear_locker.htm
