    Epic Deuce gets a hood decal

    Oh now that's tempting. Red lights forward of the cab might get me in trouble though. Maybe if they were switched...

    BudLight Deuce? Details anyone?

    I forgot where I found that pic, and I searched forever trying to find more info on it. There are a lot of BudLight promotion trucks out there! I think I may copy that double bumper without the frame extensions.

    MPG difference 9.00x20 vs 11.00x20

    That's a good sign! Mine runs well, but has been turned up a bit so it smokes a little. EGT at full load is 1100 and 11psi boost.

    MPG difference 9.00x20 vs 11.00x20

    7mpg, 2270 miles, $4.00 per gal, = $1,297.14 8mpg, 2270 miles, $4.00 per gal, = $1,135.00 difference = $162.14 Thats not a whole lot, but if I saw that missing from my checking acount, I would be mighty angry. What would that buy... toys for my daughter, parts for the deuce, nice...

    MPG difference 9.00x20 vs 11.00x20

    hmm, good responses. I am not looking to modify a bunch to save fuel, the trip is taking place in less than 2 weeks and I have a considerable amount of work to do at home before hand. So that leaves me in a crunch for time to order anything like desplined hubs, selectro's or anything of that...

    MPG difference 9.00x20 vs 11.00x20

    It was said I wouldn't be able to measure the difference in fuel mileage if I swapped to single 11.00x20 radials from my stock 9.00x20 NDTs. I don't think that's right. I mean, traveling at 55mph with either set of tires, its going to require less RPM to spin the taller tire, so how does it...

    Doghead, how is this done? Is there a schematic floating around? thanks!

    Tongue Weight?

    Do you think there will be a 1 or 2 mpg from the 11x20 tires? I agree on practice driving. I have a day dedicated to it before we leave.

    Tongue Weight?

    The consensus is to ditch the 10 wheels and tires and just stay with singles. Maybe keep a couple for spares… I think I conveyed the message wrong. I don’t want or need 10 spare tires. ha-ha, that is just out right dumb. I would have more spares than actual tires on the ground! I have 10...

    Tongue Weight?

    I have a set of M135 singles with 11x20 radials, but I dont want the single style wheels, I want the gas mileage on this trip though. So I am going to take my 9.00x20s off, and keep them for a full set of 10 11.00x20s later. I will mount up the M135 wheels with the 11.00x20 tires for this trip...

    Tongue Weight?

    hmmm, brilliant! I wish it worked that way! Maybe I'll fill the tires with helium..or better hydrogen! That should lighten the load.

    Tongue Weight?

    yikes. I didnt realize they weighed that much. Throwing them around the yard one by one kind of takes the reality out of 10 of them! ok so if I load them flat in the trailer, and stack my stuff on top, that would be a better idea? My stuff, is houshold items, tools, air compressor, electronics...
