    Deuces in other colors?

While stationed at Medina annex to Lackland AFB, we had a brush fire on the range (tracer shot into drought grass in the summer). We had fire crews come in from all over and one of them was a deuce brush truck that said either...

    Howdy I'm having similar problems. I just bought a 77 multi and drove it home. Ran like a top for 40 miles or so. I suspected fuel issues so drained and cleaned the tank. Replaced all filters and bleed the filters and injectors. Started up pretty quick with the 6th injector open still...

    fuel filter bleeder valve

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one. About 5 hours ago I snapped the bleeder off. Wasn't even close to tight. I'm a long way from everything so I think a bolt or pipe plug is in order. Anyone know the thread size? My (new to me) truck quit on me. The fuel looked like bad chocolate milk. I...

    Deuces in other colors?

    Howdy Thought I'd chime in on topic as my first post. This is my new deuce as purchased from our local fire dept. Not sure if the color is going to stay but it will do for now.
