"I think we are all on the same page, just trying to get the terminology to sync up." --------------- RIGHT "Generally there should only be one location where the neutral and ground are bonded together." ------------ RIGHT "If your house is like mine and has the neutral/ground bond in...

While the truck was sitting, is it possible that some kids or anyone else may have been messing around and bent the internals as mentioned above by forcing the shifter lever into any positions? If the truck was fine when you parked it then this would be my second thought because this stuff...

Regarding the electrical hook up to the house I was trying to reiterate what I had learned from a conversation with Speddmon. I forget the deatils, but there is something like a direct hook up and an indirect hook up. What I am doing is a direct hook up. Meaning my genny is immediatly attatched...

Right, what Mistaken1 said. My only concern is that 8-4 at 150' might be a stretch depending on what in your house you are running. I think most recomend a min. of 6-4. But it does sound like you have the right idea, good luck getting her running.

Loosen all the injector lines at the injectors like 1 turn and crank the engine. Have someone watch the lines and see if you get fuel spirting from all 4 of them. Or, prior to this, remove the fuel feed line to the injection pump, turn the switch to on and make sure you have a steady stream of...

And.........how did you get it in the back of your truck? I see a big pile of dirt there. Did you use the dirt as a ramp and rig up some crazy pully system for the front winch to pull it on? Also, did you pull the stump out with the winch or by driving the truck? Nice job! :grd:

It doesn't really affect me here on the cape, but there has been an increase in gov. aircraft in the last few weeks. He's over on the Vinyard and they have all sorts of ships and usually a sub out there. I was on the Nantucket Fire Dept. years ago when Clinton came to Nan., lots of secret...

Lax, you most likely don't have to get all dirty tracking down wiring in the deuce, except to really inspect their whole length. Did you notice the little metal tags near the ends of all your wiring. On the tag will be a stamped number. That number will corespond to a numbered tag at the...

I bought a thin 1-3/4" (machinists wrench, stubby) to hold the back nut (put a pipe on it) and tightened the front pulley with a pipe wrench. Is it typical for the locking bolt flang ears to crack? I replaced my original one for this reason and the new one has a crack in the same place now...

Don't over rev. it, don't bog it down. Only use the above mentioned brake fluid. Be aware of you exhaust colors. Don't expect to get anywhere in a hurry. Don't draw (if much) 12v from the first battery (you'll start issues). Some say leaks are normal, just depends which ones. Degrease your...

One of the posts above mentions that the deuce frame and what ever trailer box you build will be too much weight for your regular deuce to tow around. I have been thinking about this for a while and don't understand. My reasoning is this, don't deuces tow other deuces with tow bars? Than...

Don't forget to buy a multimeter, nothing fancy, just something to test for 24 volts. The first time you try to find power with a 12v probe will teach you. I keep one in the truck, one never knows. I nicked a wire and every time I put the blinker on the starter would engage. WTF was my first...

OK, thanks for the second pic, now I feel like an idiot! What the .... is the linkage for that is on the lower plate? I just crawled under my truck and all I have there is the hole in the side of the plate. :lost:

Nice root ball! I've thought about trying out this tactic but the situation hasn't come around yet. I have to do it a little different, could you imagine the look on an 80 year old customer's face when you tell her the tree is down but some one otta do something about that new hole in her...

Nk, thanks, my truck is singled with the rears flipped, so I have no experience with the budd caps. How do they fit over the studs with a diameter that will still fit thru the rims. What I do understand is that their surface holds the inboard rim and offers threads for the outboard rim. But...

Gimpy, I'm confused. Dualing the front axle seems like a Frankensteinish look, and plausible, but just looking at my truck, if you're talking about what I think, the wheel studs are too short. My front axle wheel studs just barely extend beyond the nuts. What am I missing here. You do mean...

Really, like KsM said, if its your first or any other time, do you really have time to loosen the clamp on the mushroom cover and pull it off? Then block off the opening? There is also the smaller opening on the engine side of the air cleaner housing, you'd have to plug that too right? Is...

Here are the pictures of my finished tow bar mounts. The whole rig is barely visible when you stand in front of the truck. There are also no clearance issues with the front tires. The bottom clamps are held on with security style lug nuts (not painted yet). The top clamps are spaced down to...

I'd love to go and bring the deuce, but I've got a ticking injector that scares me to go too far. From the Cape in a normal car is about an hour +, not sure how long in a deuce. I hope everyone has a great time, I will definitly be attending the Otis open house and this year I'll drive the...

How deeply did you disassemble the IP? The drive washer that I had issues with is under the face gear. Upon removing the spring keepers and the spring located in the teeth side of the face gear you need to gently pry off the band camp (he he he, he said band camp!) aghhhhemm, band clamp/spring...
