The way you describe it sounds like what I call the death wobble. The front wheels start shaking side to side. That is a symptom of a loose steering component or more likely bad king pin bushings. Check your spring bushings, tie rod ends and make sure the frame has not cracked around the...
Tow rig parking at Aberdeen
Hi gang, You don't see me here much anymore because I now have a M-151 so I am on the other forums. I have a question, I notice they have changed the layout and there is no parking anywhere that I can see. I can't get any info from The sponsor club. Do any of you...
RE: M1009 won
Mike, I can tell you that you need two fully charged and good condition batteries. If even one is a little off you will not get enough to start.

I had seen that done in Mexico about thirty some years ago, I guess it is still feasable today! Everybody wants everything right now, so this is slow, it is damn near free!

I have never been a big fan of Airco machines but any old machine will beat a new one hands down and it looks like you have a good one. I gave away an old, and I mean OLD, Miller barn box about fifteen years ago and have kicked myself ever since! That machine gave me the best welds of any stick...
Very nice work. Being a fabricator and welder myself I was originally going to say something about moisture getting into the laminate and spreading the plates but you have done a very nice job of welding and finishing. That is a LOT of grinding, What type of grinder and media are you useing and...
Again, check the fuel return line. If it was pinched when the tank was replaced it will shut the truck down. If you have good flow then the lift pump is good You should have no air at all in the bleed from the filter. Put the bleed line in a jar of fuel and watch for air, if you have air then...
Are you bleeding the filter from the drain on the bottom?? You need to use the air bleed on top of the filter assy. Also check all of your lines leading from the tank to the lift pump for kinks or cracks. Any air leak at all will give you a problem. Also ake sure the fuel return line is clear.

Yes, are they enforced, not usually. Usually it is to and from shows only, no night driving, no four wheeling. If you are not doing something stupid I don't think many cops are going to bother you.

Every year when I go there are probably 50 spots that are never used down by the highway end. I have seen people set up there on Sat when everyone is leaving. You know they did not pay for those spots.

I wish I had checked on here sooner. I e-mailed the club that runs it and like last year they did not reply. I checked the web sith ad it said completly sold out with the exception on 2 spots in the yellow section.

Mike, Good looking trucks. Hope to see you at Aberdeen, where will you be? I would go easy on the earth destroyer thing, they have already closed almost every trail in NJ. It can happen elsewhere! I hope to be cruiseing Aberdeen in my mutt.

Let me get this straight, You towed a deuce with another deuce that had bad brakes?! Substandard attaching hardware on the tow bar. all this on the interstate! You guy's are really scary. The main problem is that if you have an accident it looks bad for all MV collectors. If you kill someone...
Hello gang, I do not post on here much even though I have been visiting for quite a few years. I have noticed that ever since GL has started advetising on here there seem to be alot of people that instantly jump to their defense in any situation. I have known about this situation with Floyd for...
Who do you NJ guys use for your insurance? I use Hagerty for my other vehicles but they will not cover a deuce unless it is stored inside of a garage. I can put my garage in a deuce!
