RE: Re: My herd of deuces.....
check your state laws, MN allows for you to have a class B or A license (i'm not sure class B would be enough for a > 26001 lbs truck) but without the commercial requirements. someone correct me if i'm wrong because i plan on buying something bigger than a deuce...
I can provide temporary (couple weeks upto 2-3 months) storage at my current residence. Most likely outdoors for a whole deuce, indoors for an engine.
I'm in the middle of southern MN so it probably wont help many people, but thought i'd offer.
Topic says it all.. I'll provide the bumper numbers and you tell me what to look for next. Thanks jeli for selling this fine truck [thumbzup]

edited again: some numbers
Interior placard on dash:
Stock No...
i ran my deuce today, wouldnt go a bit above 2400rpm on the tach, but while driving it home for the first time my g/f said i was pushing 60mph. i never saw the speedo hit anything above 52mph
Amsoil sells an oil analysis kit, a bit spendy but i haven't shopped around. Used them twice with great results (lots of feed back, went into detail about all the metals etc. that were found and their purpose/cause)
as a side note, anyone running synthetic in their regular cars and trucks is...
On the topic of horns... are you supposed to hear the horn over the engine while at 45mph?
I think i'm gonna hide an airhorn in the engine compartment, what i have is pitiful.
I'd like to know if theres a kit to fix it. My solution right now is some door/window weather sealant strips. At least when it bangs it wont be noisy and make me think the window will shatter.
Do these higher idle RPMs make a big difference in fuel consumption? I read somewhere that Diesels use about 10% the fuel that gasoline engines use to idle. I'm sure its a bit higher with multifuel though.
