    Just bobbed an M923

    Justin, can you tell us who did do the air conditioning? After a hot day in a 923 I am ready to pop for it. Nice bob job BTW.

    Sandblasting with an Ingersol Rand diesel compressor?

    Great info given ^^^ For sure Play Sand is for Playing in by Children. Not for blasting. Any sand out of the river has been rounded off and is a waste of time and resources to try and blast with it. Use sandblasting grit, it is sharp and cleans things up quick.

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    The Surfactant Bleed does happen on houses, just not as much. I was told this by the manager of a Sherwin Williams store who did say that washing the structure or waiting for the rain to do it takes care of it, which is the same experience as others here have had. A lot depends on temperature...

    No keys? 915 recovery

    There's pretty much two kinds of diesel setups. Those with an electric fuel solenoid shutoff and those without. The deuce is a good example of one without. All you have to do to start that is short across the starter solenoid with any handy chunk of metal and you are off and running. The deuce...

    Tan CARC part number

    Your prediction came true. Sherwin Williams no longer sells this paint to individuals.

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    The answer to why water based paint will streak when first getting rained on. It's pretty common, beautiful Sherwin Williams or Behr house paint job on your deuce and the first time it rains there's these weird streaks on it that eventually all wash off. Turns out that the universal colorant...

    painting day gone wrong

    Well I ~was a professional painter and the biggest concern I have on painting trucks is how long do I wait between oil based primer on bare metal and water based top coat over that. So usually I wait a day or three for the primer to finish offgassing before I coat over that.

    CARC health hazards

    Well I thought the hazard to most of us was in sanding it. = Silica -> lungs. Did I miss something?

    Best Way To Preserve Rubber?

    OK, Moleary, Nobody mentioned it so far. 303 Protectant is the best stuff ever for protecting anything that is rubber. First time I used it was 12 years ago when I had a canoe that was made of composite. Years in the sun and it is still good. Whether it is rubber or something else that might be...

    painting day gone wrong

    This would be my first suspect. Sorry this didn't turn out nice the first time. I spent a lot of years as a professional painter and had some heartbreaking episodes amid the great sucesses. Paint is weird. Especially if you are mixing base types as I often do. For example on a truck I need an...

    M923 Hard to start on any slight incline

    Glad to hear you got it running. I changed the o-rings on the primer pump too but no joy. So what do you think was the problem/fix?

    M923 Hard to start on any slight incline

    The hand primer pump on my truck does not work. At all. When I changed my fuel filter, the only way I could get the system primed was to drill the fuel cap and install a valve stem for charging the system with air. Usual warnings about putting too much air pressure on that tank apply.

    Why are green or camo cargo covers so hard to find?

    I have seen two of the 3 color camo long covers for sale on here in the last three months that were brand new. I have been watching ~very carefully as I am looking for a brand new standard length cover for a deuce. Read back through the older classifieds, and check flea bay. They are out there.

    Why are green or camo cargo covers so hard to find?

    Very nice and polite people on the phone. And I couldn't agree with you more.:-? Order. And you get what you get. Then sometimes you have to send it back.

    Batteries

    Consider the design requirements. Those trucks need to be able to fire right up after being stored for how long and being dumped off who knows where. Suppose it is Really Cold and you are trying to start that 250 Cummins. Two batteries are fine if the weather is mild, but if it is down around...
