    Starter Switch questions...

    Burning Dashlights and Brake Switch Fix.

    Thanks for that info Bjorn. Since my pyro light is wired into my dash lights could it cause the bulbs to get super hot?

    Burning Dashlights and Brake Switch Fix.

    Finally got my brakelights fixed today. Used a BWD S194 switch and a 3/8 to 1/8 adapter. Works great and less than $10 spent. So tonight I went out to see how the lights looked. I started the truck and let it run for a few minutes. By the time I got back in I could smell plastic burning and...

    Transmission noise

    Mine has made noise in fifth for a while now. But it never gets any worse. When I got the truck i found a couple chunks of metal in the gear oil and it looked like i had gone panning for gold. But it still runs fine. :beer:

    How About A V8?

    I think a 300 Ford 6 would be a great engine in my bobbed duece. Great engines. And cheap! But I like the multi. I am curious how much power its making after i bypassed the fdc. More than enough power now.

    Lucas oil additive

    I use 1 gallon in the engine, 2qts inthe tnans, 2 qts in the transfer case, and a qt or 2 in the diffs. Its good stuff. Engine runs quieter with Lucas and spin on filters. Alot of dump truck guys around here use it too.

    Why short an aready short truck

    Seems like someone has a gripe with bobbing a truck on here every week. I bobbed mine because its cool and I had never seen one before. Since then many have been cut. Drives better too. I didnt buy my truck to preserve military history. But dont get me wrong, some should be kept in stock form. I...

    deuce wont crank when its cold out

    My truck wont crank the first time you try to start it on a cold day. But if I tap the starter and relay with a piece of wood then hit the switch, it starts in 1 second. The rest of the day it'll start just fine. :-D
