When I called Jeepsinker last December, the engine was making a loud "knocking" sound. It was the loudest at the top rear of the engine on the passenger side. There was no oil on the firewall at that time.
Well, we are going with Plan B! No, not the contraceptive... The engine swap...
That's a classic example! Trying to do too many things at one time usually results in nothing done right! My old engine usually idled at 500 to 600 rpms. I assume at 5,000 to 6,000 rpms I would have a grenade as opposed to an engine! :burn:

That could make sense about the turbo. I believe my truck was underpowered (yeah, I know all Deuces are underpowered). Jeff (member TAMU86) has a truck very similar to mine. Last time I followed him to an event I had a hard time...
My Deuce was delivered to Jeepsinker in DeRidder, Louisiana today!
:driver:
Once the engine is repaired, I will drive it home from DeRidder, Louisiana to Montgomery, Texas. I plan to tow archmark's M105 trailer on the way home.

The Load Out
As mentioned in Post #1, my Deuce left Montgomery, Texas this afternoon headed for Jeepsiner in DeRidder, Louisiana. Transportation was arranged by Rounders Logistics (a SteelSoldiers Vendor). Loading the Deuce was an uneventful but wet experience.
The truck driver was schedule...
On the way home from an event last November, the engine in my truck developed a loud knock. I was roughly 20 miles from home when the knock became noticeable while I was driving and wearing hearing protection. The truck made it home that night and has been sidelined until now. My plan was to...

Valence - That's an awesome solution. I figured water would be a problem with a cover over the gun ring cut out.
Camoyj - I haven't seen a gun ring cut out on a soft top either. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Just show up. I believe we get access to the park around 6pm that afternoon. Lincoln will collect a nominal fee per family ($20...

I'm making plans to transport my Deuce from Montgomery, Texas (my home) to Jeepsinker in DeRidder, Louisiana (which is near Fort Polk). I'm exploring several options. One of which includes having it hauled on a 53-foot drop deck trailer that has ramps. A gentleman I've known for quite a while...
