    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    You are describing an "ex post facto" law.

    Just Got My Deuce, and of course a few new questions.

    Switch AND alternator? I would fix the switch first and then retest. There are a couple of things in common with both that could be throwing you off.

    Just Got My Deuce, and of course a few new questions.

    The wiring diagram is in the stickies, but just track the wires and remember you only need to check continuity one at a time. It's not bad as long as you go slow and check each one off like a list. That way you can find the problem without just throwing parts at it. Welcome to the asylum. She's...

    Modern Russian Army in the photos.

    Here is a movie that has lot of Russian equipment in action. As well as a large amount of actual combat footage. http://youtu.be/gGIB5dgMWG8

    Modern Russian Army in the photos.

    If Ukraine had been smart they would have burned those bases to the ground before letting Putin take them. All they need to do is cut the pipelines and scorch the ground behind them. The Russians may have the resources to invade, but Ukraine can make it a pyrric victory. At this point, all I...

    Insane home Water/meth injection...

    Oh... and thanks for the pump tip! I just picked up this http://www.pumpagents.com/pdf/ShurfloPumps/8000-853-238.pdf

    Insane home Water/meth injection...

    If it won't be exposed to pressure, then you have a lot of options. You need to make sure the tank can be removed or completely drained/RV antifreeze the system for cold weather because methanol causes problems with multifuels. (It lifts the heads) Most of us do some camping, so a potable water...

    Insane home Water/meth injection...

    Ssweet!! If they are holding up for them, then I guess I'll give it a shot myself. As for the hobbes switch... just trigger it with an EGT. More accurate and more frugal with the water.

    Insane home Water/meth injection...

    A $50 75psi electric pump that can handle water in the small volume we are describing? Please link it. I would love to find one. The closest I have found were cheap ($75-$125) plastic diaphragm pumps I wouldn't trust much past a water fountain.

    Insane home Water/meth injection...

    No, psychobob IIRC did build the proof of concept and ran it. I'm in Michigan, Projects only happen during the warm months in Heathworld. I need to line my tanks and install. By the way, the whole point of this is to AVOID putting a pump on it. Pump kits are available off the shelf for...

    Poor halftrack

    I have a lot of family like this. They will sit back and watch something rot into the ground before they finally scrap it, but if someone ever said "You want to sell that?" it's some kind of monument to granddads middle years. A: If it's that important, build a museum for it. B: If it isn't...

    VA DOT Military Vehicles and HOAs "Junk Vehicles"

    Dead deer.. stench and health hazard. 350 chevy? What concern is it of mine? Is it any less obnoxious than a new Prius covered in greenpeace stickers? "To each their own" and "Oh well, it's a Free country"... we don't hear those said much anymore. It seems to be little more than a contractual...

    VA DOT Military Vehicles and HOAs "Junk Vehicles"

    Why anyone would ever want to be told what to do with their property, or feel the need or right to tell anyone else to do with their property, is beyond me. The simple solution would seem to be to eliminate the HOA, or avoid such things like the plague.

    Modern Russian Army in the photos.

    Indeed. Part of the treaty that caused Ukraine to give up the nukes stated that if this ever happened, certain other nations would step in and defend her. Curiously Russia signed that treaty as well. Ukraine WAS a nuclear power... and they have the ability to be one again very quickly. There...

    Deuce stranded me/wife on the Highway

    You need a hand? Call me and I can be on my way. Second Idea would be pour 5+ gallons of good diesel in the tank and get an air pig, and blowgun attachment out of the barn, and pump it up to as high as you think she'll take. Grab the cap off of the parts truck and drill a hole in it, then after...

    Deuce power steering conversion

    What? I would love to see some pictures of that data plate.

    Anyone have a rod bolt they could loan me or know their measurements?

    All bolts stretch when tightened. They never completely return to the factory new length when removed. In many applications that small change has no impact on service life, but in the LDT/LDS it seems to be a factor. Or it could be the torque applied during rebuild... we don't know.

    M105a2 what is it?

    Yep... researched the engine and got Hercules 4a084-3. Genset with compressor.

    M105a2 what is it?

    Check the engine out a bit more closely... is that a Continental or Lycoming aircraft engine?! Edit: As opposed to a VW engine...
