    Deuce Buy - Govt Auction vs. Ebay - Tell Me Your Experience or Opinion - Pro and Con

    i think it pays to buy one from a reseller if you want a smoother buy. in general they will have several trucks to choose from. bring someone with some deuce knowledge and go for it. the guy i bought mine from had repainted the truck inside and out and gone over it fairly well. all for about...

    Odd power problem

    yeah it takes me about 10 minutes just to get down my driveway and to the base of the hill. the truck is up to temp by then. i drive this thing pretty much daily now (untill the novelty wears off, not likely, i know)

    ok update. fuel filters changed, in tank fuel pump screen cleaned (yes it was clogged pretty well), and one small kink in the fuel line un-kinked. air filter looks fine. in tank fuel pump pumps strong (like a garden hose) truck revs fine now but still wont pull as strong as it should. my...

    A quiet deuce?

    I am. i just did it a few days ago. i haul my daughter in it from time to time so the muffler was nessessary. it looks fine, was cheap to do. i even put a flapper up there so i don't have to use a plastic bottle when it rains.

    I want a deuce

    i can't relate. i told my wife that i wanted one and she said ok. told me to sell one of my motorcycles and go buy one. SHE found me one on ebay and the rest is history. (maybe she sees it as a way to keep me out of her hair). same wife that bought me a .45 for our 2nd wedding aniversary...

    tire pressure

    just rotated my tires today (feel like i've been hit by a truck). running 80 in back 90 up front. took it for a spin and it feels better than before. seems to steer better with more air upfront (im sure the non-cupped tires up front now helped) do they make street tires (tractor trailer...

    tire pressure

    these tires are not the stock bias ply tires, so anything on the dash plate, if it was there, wouldn't apply. these are the michelin radials. i'm sure the shocks aren't helping the cupping but i just can't get behind a 50 psi difference between front and rear.

    tire pressure

    I did a search and checked the FAQ, nothing. i have a singled deuce on 11x20 tires. what pressure should i run in these things. the fronts are cupping severely. the PO put 50 front and 100psi rear. sounds a little extreme to me. i'd like to rotate them and adjust pressures. i also noticed...

    Insurance and tagging questions for DE

    yeah, piece of cake. i bought mine from gem1410 up in NJ, he gave me a nj title, bill of sale and a temp tag to get me home. i spent 20 minutes at the DMV, $51 for 2 years historic. pay just under $300 a year for insurance through state farm.

    fuel filter problem

    the inner diameter is very different, does this matter? also the new filter doesn't have the holes in the top or bottom.
