    Lots Pulled From Event

    I was watching those M931s in Sante Fe too. Most of my convoy time was spent behind the wheel of an M923 and I don't remember them being too bad on a long drive. Perfect for dragging a 5'er off road. I ended up with a good deal on a boat this weekend(if there is such a thing), but I'm still...

    Lots Pulled From Event

    The upside is that I don't have to decide between a new boat or a new truck. GL made that decision for me.

    Lots Pulled From Event

    Anybody ever get a reason? Did they re-list later when it happened?

    Lots Pulled From Event

    I was watching a group of trucks and they disappeared halfway through the auction. Have y'all seen that before?

    My Evil plan is working...

    Get her a springer seat...aka another deuce with her in the drivers seat.

    Tow rope?

    Check Desert Rat. I use their straps all the time, even to pull a stuck deuce with a 12K fifth-wheel behind it. They stretch nicely to keep the shock load down and no metal bits.

    Zerex ELC Coolant

    It's red. The Zerex is the local NAPA's offering. I called and told 'em I needed pre-charged coolant and he said he'd have it for for me. Great, so my wife stopped by to pick it up since she drives right by on the way home. She gets home and I look at the bottle and I don't see that it's...

    Zerex ELC Coolant

    Is anyone running the Zerex(Valvoline) HD diesel coolant in their deuce? It doesn't have SCA, but it says it prevents pitting.

    Stupid Insurance Agent

    Ditto. About the same price here in NM. I've even had a claim. It was painless and I wasn't dropped.

    Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge Line

    Hey guys, it's been I while since I've posted. I'm getting ready to install a mechanical oil pressure gauge from Summit in my M109. I don't have the truck at the house so I need some help with estimating the length of line from the sending port to the gauge. I'll come through the firewall...

    How do you justify a Deuce to a wife/gf?

    If your'e that set on getting the green iron and she's not, you're not gonna be happy. Same goes for motorcycles, boats, campers, etc. as long as you're fiscally responsible. Been there, done that. As the saying goes, "if momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy". I got lucky, my wife...

    Air tank fittings

    Thanks for the good advice. I ended up using a street elbow that was way too long and I had wrestle it in and reroute the air line.

    Air tank fittings

    Much thanks for looking...I'll owe you big.

    Air tank fittings

    Doghead, I thought about it but there's not much clearance on the front side. I have the reducers for the draincock. ARDEUCE, thanks. I'm 100% sure the pipe threads are 3/4. I'm pretty sure the compression fittings are 3/8. The air lines are 3/8 copper right?
