mine didn't get above 160-170 for the first few trips out, but now, slowly rises when warming up to 220 and stays there. load, no load, highways, it doesn't matter. i'm hoping to throw in a new 'stat and see what happens. i may try a sending unit as well. when i pop the hood, nothing SEEMS...

mine is about the same. 60 at startup and 30 warm. i always heard a general rule of thumb was 10 psi for every 1000 RPMS.....but i dunno.

i pulled a good load (8000 lbs) lugging quite a bit today up steep grades and my engine temp hovered around 220 degrees. i let it start up and run at idle to "cool down" a bit, but it didn't fall until i turned it off and let it sit. what's the max i should let the temp get before shutting...

i had the isspro turbocator gauge setup in my old F-250. the gauge was included with a hypermax turbo kit. it never once gave me a problem!

That would be me I guess! I think the first upgrade I'm going to make is the addition of a pyrometer. I still can't believe how easily that thing hauled that water tank. I'm amazed.

WOW! Other than the truck having a little more sway that normal, the multifuel has no problem at all handling a 1000 gallon water tank loaded down. 2nd gear high range up my driveway for the most part. I had to gear down once because I attempted it in 3rd and had to come to a complete stop. :-P...

Just got home from pickup up my "new" 1971 M35A2! I picked it up from fellow Steel Soldiers member hatteras4164. He happened to live in the same county as me, just on the other side. Had a nice smooth ride home at 50 MPH. It feels 10x more stable at 50mph than the old water truck! I...

I live near Richmond, but travel to Lexington everyday for work. I don't own a Deuce just yet, but I've got a hankerin' for one. BAD. :wink:

The fastest I would get in the C60 would be around 30 mph hauling water.

Well, the old C60 wasn't quite the safest thing either. I'd feel safer hauling 12k on the back of a bicycle sometimes than that old C60 if the brakes were acting up. If you wanted to stop, you'd better plan on having a fast foot in order to pump the pedal. It's a short trip to the local fire...

Newb here. I'm considering a M35A2 to replace our old C60 Chevrolet for water hauling purposes. I live in rural Kentucky with a steep, long (.8 of a mile or better), rough, windy gravel driveway and plan to haul 1500 gallons at a time. (roughly 12,000 lbs) I assume a stock Deuce will far...
