What works best, HVLP paint gun or regular gun to spray Gillespie?

While a new user, and I am not a young man. One of the things it takes a while to learn in life is that there is very little new under the sun. Get into any hobby, guns, archery, cars, (gulp) fashion, and you will find that most things come full circle, what is old is new and the same old...

I agree blzrgb. There are times when answers are much more clear where there is a degree of interaction. I am very new to SS and sometimes the search function is not the answer to every question. If there was never an intent to discuss, why even have a forum instead of just a searchable...

Installed my muffler tonight. Exhaust noise is greatly reduced. Can hear the whistle! I forgot to bring the decibel meter home from work, so no hard numbers for you. Kinda freaky now. I can hear every tick, rattle, clank, bump and I am paranoid about losing another engine anyway!! As...

Care to enlighten us on where they are?

Mine does the same, but also stumbles-dies after you get off the throttle/push in the clutch when coming to a stop. Same causes??

I ordered the Donaldson M070028 last week. It should be in tomorrow and I will install this weekend. I will try to take some before / after db readings from the cab and let you know. there are a couple of NAPA items that have been used, but I can speak to the effectiveness. NAPA PN 21470...

was dark and raining in Twin when I got home tonight. I'll post new pics of MOMO, the old block with cross ventilation, and the new one.

Finally got her home today! My first deuce! Drove 420 miles to Rock Springs WY (punched hole in both sides of block), towed 220 miles to Ogden UT (new engine installed at Boyce, made large bank withdrawl) 180 miles home to Twin Falls. Now the fun begins!

Picking her up tomorrow. As for a good price, I paid plenty, but feel like I got plenty. Let's see how she fares long term. overall, Boyce was helpful, courteous, appear to have done good work, and seemed genuinely concerned about cost, quality, timliness. Thanks for all the posts...

Will provide specifics answers to those with questions via PM. Was refering to specific questions about service / cost

I'm sure that everyone that suffers a similar failure has the same response "I didn't do anything wrong!". If I did, I sure don't know what it was?? I'm chalking it up to experience and like someone posted earlier, I'll have a new deuce with new engine and some spare parts for the future. By...

I had just purchased the truck the day before and was driving to Twin Falls from Denver. Speed at the time of the failure was ~50 mph. Max speed registered on the trip accoring to my GPS was 52.8 mph. The truck was holding 30 psi oil pressure at idle and 45-50 at 2200 RPM. Oil was changed...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I bit the $$$ bullet contacted Boyce and they are getting it towed to Ogden, installing new engine and I should have her home of Friday!

Good luck with the swap. I'll soon be doing the same for the first time. Hope I can learn a bit from your experience.

Thanks. Had just bought her and was driving home. I always have the worst kind of luck.........

Anyone near Rock Creek that could help with a down deuce? Need a safe place to park and help loading / transport to Ogden UT or Twin Falls ID. Had an instance of connecting rod vs engine block.

My failure was very similar-except to cap to my connecting rod was laying in the middle of westbound I-80

I went to Denver to pick up my deuce this weekend. Rod went throught the block near Rock Springs WY. She is stuck there, I feel your pain!

I'm heading to denver from idaho saturday to purchase a deuce from a private party. Anyone one along the way that might be able to help if I run into "trouble"
