    I want a deuce

    I argued with my wife for about 5 years. Finally she gave in.

    If you are planning on turning up the engine to get your truck up to 70mph, Be careful. It will probably explode! Bigger tires, higher gear sets in the axles maybe. From what I've learned these engines don't like to go over 2600 RPM. Course you could always give her a whirl and take pics or...

    Lockout hubs

    Chuck, are you saying they do this due to the variation in the tire diameters? That would make sense.

    Lockout hubs

    One last thing here. Think about this all. When you turn in a truck your front axle has a greater distance to travel. Correct? Yes. If you have the same ratio and you are in 4x4 and on snow or ice, when going straight there are no problems, while turning though your rear wheels want to push...

    Lockout hubs

    I totally agree with you on this RUSS81. I've had 2 fords with 4.11 back and 4.10 front. Definitely for steering. Don't want rear wheels pushing you on ice. So I don't know why people are disagreeing with you. I will say though that not all 4x4's where designed this way, but it's much...

    The city is making me sell my truck.

    Brock Steel, Is that a 69 oldsmobile sitting there next to the deuce in the 5th pic? If so looks like you'll still have a really good toy.

    170hp cat motor out of m35a3 in m35a2?

    What about installing the intercooler on the outside of the radiator? I'm sure you could fab up some sort of grill that would allow it to look better than an A3.

    Removing a Turbo

    I'm sure you could find someone on here willing to trade you the turbo parts for the nonturbo parts. As for me, I'll keep my turbo, I love the sound of the whistler!

    Kicked out of my own driveway!

    Now I would paint my house cammo! When they ask what you think you're doing? Just tell them you're trying to hide your deuce for your neighbors.

    Xtreme 4X4 Deuce bobbed(Spike TV)

    Wow guys, easy does it. Now I have another opinion of this show. Yes more publicity, more people interested, more parts being bought up, higher prices. Right now there are pretty good sources for parts, but how many of these parts are actually still being manufactured? Are there enough of us...

    Title Drama

    Find another truck or tell him to find the SF97. Buy one that's titled. MUCH easier. There are tons of great trucks out there for not too much money. Don't fall for the first one you see. $4,500 seems way too much for an untitled truck, espeacialy in that area.

    Blown multifuel motors

    Does high compression play a factor here? Seems to me the multi's have really high compression, and that would incur more stress on the rods. At high speeds it may just be too much. I think I'll slow mine down.
