Peyton that is just plain TO MUCH money to spend on a Deuce I dont care if it dumps or not! in my eyes you would be money way ahead to move up a bunch of years to a 939 series 5 tonner, its already got the automatic trans the trucks are very available along with parts and in most cases you can...
Like Drock said its all part of this hobby to also do at least a good portion of the work on these trucks ourselves, with that said there is a LOT of assistance for you on this site and the TMs will become your before bedtime reading for at least a few of the upcoming months, its good reading...
Russ I sure as heck do not mean to trivialize what your looking for but like was said in the above posts I think you truck is doing very good and if you going to improve on what your getting now, what is that going to take, is it possible, what are your actual gains going to be? If you spend...
Will it sure sounds like a head gasket, have you ever changed a head gasket on your vette? Well a Deuce is NOTHING like that at all, OK OK sorry about that. You have all the service manuals for the truck, grab the appropriate TMs figure out your parts list and get it done, remember all new head...
Hello Matt and welcome to the site from ND, and YES its snowing as I am writing this! Pricing on the Deuce, Well lets start off with saying the days of finding a good 2K$ Deuce that runs and drives are pretty few and far between, possible YES but dont count on it! Then your going to find the...
Brandon you are documenting your trip in a very top shelf manner, seriously once I started reading I could not stop till the end! You and your family are running a trip that very few of us on this site ever get the chance or take the time to do!
Carry on and keep the pics and documentary...
I have one on my 920 and since that truck is not driven on a regular enough basis I do have to disconnect it if the truck is going to sit for awhile without use!

gobsmacked it sounds like you got all the advice needed to fix your problem but I just wanted to suggest one small correction to your post, your truck has a CUMMINS engine in it, not a CUMMINGS!

Donny congrats on your Deuce purchase she is a mighty fine looking truck! get it out and drive it a lot they get pretty good mileage. If you get tired of all the noise in the cab down the road send me a PM and I will tell you what I did to the cab and the floor of my Deuce to get it to the...
Wow That friends is one heck of a giant ARE YOU KIDDING ME story!!! I sure hope this fellows sheer ignorance and disregard for everybody around him (YES that includes all of us)results in some very serious fines and he looses his driving privileges for a long time and its done with! The other...
All of the above is very sage advice Storm 51 has had one of these trucks longer than anybody else I know and he knows of what he speaks! When you get to the point and most of the above has been accomplished and you are actually ready to start the truck I would pull the plug wires or use...
Congrats on the truck it looks mighty NICE! With a truck like that is will be a true pleasure to drive that one home, even if its KIND OF A LONG DRIVE!!!!!!!!

I will give a huge SECOND to what Storm 51 just said!!! I have a 52 M37 and in the very least I will be replacing all the fuel line from the tank forward, I should be ashamed of the patches etc. I have on the truck right now, Well come to think about it I AM so it will be replaced this year...
Coladwarrior thanks for posting its amazing what folks did with the technology that they had but by anybodies standards 7000 HP all in reciprocating engines is a lot! it is sure to bad that not even one of these planes exist today, I would love to see it fly and get a real feel for just what...
Hey crunchy first off overhauling the carb on the 404 is not bad at all to do and you will 1. learn better how it works and 2. save yourself some money! The Pertronix ignition kit is a very good way to go on the 404 they respond very nicely to the improvements they make available. And 3rd I...
Hey folks I picked up a Deuce soft top last year and just got around to looking at it this weekend and it was dirty and dusty and pretty much just plain filthy and you all know we cannot have that!! I then proceeded to soak it in hot water and soap then scrub it with a stiff brush rinsing in...
