Robert, Me too!

Everyone, Well Ken and I modified 'Storm I forgot to take pics of where we cut off the straight pipe. No biggie, I have pics of the process after we painted the muffler. We cut the pipe about six inches from the highest point on the fender to give ourselves plenty to work with. We then fit...

Good points Dave! I just looked at a spare 24V and 12V bulb from my trailer lights and you are most definitely correct!

PK, It seems like you have a 1D turbo. I have one and LOVE it! I'm getting ready to post the muffler modification Ken and I did on 'Storm. If you have a very narrow turbo it's a 1C. A nice chubby one is a 1D. The difference is the blades in a 1C spin just beyond the speed of sound thus...

Robert, Multis like to be run hard but not maxed out. This is how a rod can be thrown or other nasty things. I stay about 150 to 250 rpm from top end because I want to have a cushion for going down hill and not stress out the drivetrain. It's also tough on bearings and bushings going full...

In parallel not series, look at a 24V bulb and see. The manufacturers do this like Wagner and so on.

AJG, Success!!!!!!!

K, There are many different things you can do with a Deuce. The only way you will spend $2500 on tires is to buy new tires from a semi truck tire dealer. Be patient in our search for replacement tires. Here in Houston good 75% NOS tires without any dry rot are about $20 - $25 each. If you...

WL, I'm getting a set of selectros for free from Ken here in Houston because they do not have any kind of water resistance. If you live in an area of the country where it's flood prone and you wish to drive in this environment I do not recommend the selectros. There is only one thin gasket...

I agree. Anyway I haven't forgotten y'all. I'll be arriving there on Wednesday due to a fuel pump problem I'll be fixing on Monday.

Mine loves 2450. 2500 and she seems to strain, 2300 seems like she's wanting to drop to lugging around 1900 quickly. Now that Ken here in Houston is helping me I'm sure her characteristics will be changing. Updates soon.

Robert, The top will be on its way once I get back to IN I promise! I'm not expecting any BP surprises (man nitro is nasty stuff!!!!).

Great to hear Paul!

DS, Not bad considering I was using a headset hooked into my CB/weatherband. I have some creative insulation on the interior of the truck to help too. Now I have a muffler and pyrometer to install before returning as well as a repaired tire and some touch-up painting too. I also have to work...

I sold a Mack 5T to a coal company in Kentucky. With a hardtop, heater, Mack turbo-diesel, and a standard bed it cost them $9800. If they bought the truck without the heater and hardtop it was $6900. Since the truck they wanted had the Mack motor but not the other options I had to charge for...

Dang Jon! You mean you're dirt trackin' in the air? That's way too cool! It must mess up the air flow over the wings just a bit.

Robert, Ironhorse is doing that.

Kenny, So how many hours did it take to get from end to end ;)? Looking at your post I'm guessing the construction site had a few speed bumps too.....................

Jon, Daggone! Now that's what I call an attitude adjuster! Must be deafening to hear those things go off...... Eh, what did ya say? Must make cutting the lawn much easier too.
