    Snowplow

    Some Einstein said the first thing he'd do if he were me would be to put a plow on my deuce and make some money. I have plowed with a pick up that was an automatic and it was a pain.

    Bad Deuce engine?

    I noticed in the first vid that when they let the truck low idle it was blowing whiteish smoke. Looked like warm weather too. Im guessing that you shouldnt see any smoke with a warm motor on a warm day. Something very wrong with that motor.

    headlight/BO switch

Some motorpool electrician decided to wire some sort of 'Y' splice into the rear tail light housing and it had rubbed thru the insulation. pulled the splice out and directly connected...

    Cucv starting procedures

    Confirm ur plugs get hot, then confirm ur getting fuel to the cylinders.

Confirm if they are and report...
