Had to jump through one small hoop for my tags and title in California. Now I'm legit, tagged as a motorhome. Finished installing backup camera (making it pretty), now I'm finishing the final install for the air head composting toilet. I'm seeing light at the end of the tunnel. Finally!

A composting toilet I get, but what is an "air head" composting toilet; you talking about the guy you hired to install it!?

Finished a flag pole mount on 10/31/15 in preparation for 2 Veteran's Day parades this weekend. The parade today was cancelled. Better weather tomorrow so the parade may still go on!

rustystud, you know that God works wonders, His miracles to perform. The question is:

Well, I thought i had some water in my fuel. So I parked it "nose down" on the passenger front for a couple of days. Then I pumped a quart or so from the bottom corner of the tank.
It was all golden clean. But the truck would still stutter and almost die on me...
So, I run up to the station and dump in 32 ounces of clear diesel in the tank and fill her up.
It took 37 gallons (and foamed and foamed, i let her run will fueling) but now she runs just fine.
I am guessing my new parker pump sits a little higher in the tank...? maybe sucking some air...
Who knows, just happy its running good now.

Same thing happened to me while towing a WC53 after a reenactment, approaching the George Washington Bridge. Luckily, I had 2 cans of Diesel on board, enough to get to a station in Ft. Lee, where trucks are not allowed, and no diesel at the station, so I had to use straight gas......Made it across the bridge where I filled up with diesel. Whew !

Worked hard on my Deuce this weekend
Well I changed the engine oil and filters. Changed the fuel filters. I read some post about bleeding the brakes and modified a garden sprayer to pressure the brake system and remove the air and flush the system. That worked great! Repaired the horn, there was a short in the 25 wire. Replaced the breaker because it was burned from the shorted out wire and that also fixed the temp gage that was not working. I drove my Deuce to a local truck stop and had it weighed. Tomorrow I'm going to get the registration and title work done and needed a weight ticket. I did some cleaning and rattle can painting. Going to the tax office in the morning and get the title work done. The deuce will be road ready.
