I was reading another thread about this brake shoe causing the brakes to fail, never would have expected that. How economical are they wanting the dual circuit mounts to be $19.95? I would gladly pay at least $200 for one. If enough people show interest in one can a manufacturer be found to...

Ok,thanks, I almost forgot the master cylinder. How fast were you going when you applied the parking brake? How fast did the truck stop? It's very hilly around here and I have to go over two very high ridges to get into town. EDIT: I was just reviewing the master cylinder removal procedure...

I hope this isn't a redundant question, I've been going over some brake threads and am a little confused. I've been seeing Chinese made rubber parts won't last, bad springs, which I remember they have to have a certain shape, etc. Would someone mind telling me all on this thread where the best...

When I was going home on my first night time drive in the deuce out in the county with no street lights, I pulled into the turn lane to go left into a gas station. Then a couple of guys came barreling down the road in front of me and also moved into the turn lane. I was still rolling at a good...

Yeah, I just realized that, maybe he never even got it fixed, I'm going to try bleeding it first.

So whatever happened with this, how did you fix it?

I don't think it would idle at 900 rpm, cattlerepairman. I had the throttle pulled out about an inch, it's a little scary how responsive the engine is when using the hand throttle, it sounds like it is going to run away and I have to constantly push it in and out to hold it close to running. I...

Finally, mission accomplished! [thumbzup] Thanks to everyone for the help, and special thanks to Floridianson. First I turned the engine over with the stop pulled out. https://youtu.be/Nfb74QorwFQ Then I started it ,but didn't want to race the engine so I didn't give it any fuel, that was a...

Does this mean I will now have to remove the hydraulic head? Edit: I decided to take a calculated risk and hit the fuel control with a screwdriver handle, I figured if it couldn't take that much punishment there was no hope anyway. It apparently broke loose and now moves even better than the...

Ok guys, there has to be something else going on here. Every time I reinstall the fuel control it gets stuck at at around 4 or 5 o'clock position. What else could make it stick? What would happen if I put it back together in the shutdown position and then stuffed something like a jacket in the...

Ok, got it, but why were they so tight when I took it off? Also, I put a funnel under the hole and let it pump out around a gallon of that old fuel, it started coming out smelling and looking fresh, so I imagine that flushed the filters out also. Edit: Thinking about this, maybe the screws...

Ok here's a quick update for anybody bored enough to be interested. Got the fuel control out and soaking in some of that chem dip carburetor cleaner I had laying around, I forgot the acetone but can get some later. I'm afraid I might have already messed up though because I pulled the little...

Ok,thank you, that sounds fantastic. I haven't driven mine in a while ,but when I do I'm constantly checking the non existent rear view mirror.

Nice truck, congratulations! It appears that you need a little more practice backing up though. That looks like something I would do, I was wondering the other day if anybody had put some kind of rear view camera on their truck.

Ok,thank you, I haven't been around in a few years after getting a little discouraged with some issues about my Deuce , and the inability to find a suitable CARC substitute. Now I come back and there's new paint and new vehicles. If I had imagined that happening I would have been saving up...thanks.

Would someone mind briefing me on whats going on with these, or point me to some threads that cover it? I thought these were nearly impossible to get, and couldn't be out on the road, and only the ones that were already out there were it. What happened, has it really changed? I've always thought...

I've been gone from the site for several years, and I'm really excited I am to hear there is a great looking alternative to CARC paint. I bought several gallons of 383 from Rapco in 2009, after I got my Deuce. Everyone on here generally recommended it then, I brushed it on the troop seats and...

I hope it's me because I plan on doing it this weekend, or at least attempting to.

It cost $500.00 just to pull it back onto the gravel? I'm guessing it had to travel about 20 feet maybe , $25.00 per foot, is that the absolute best deal you could find? It wouldn't drive out?

Very interesting info on the fuel, I'm glad you guys mentioned it. The other day before draining the tank I opened up the drain on the filter behind the bumper, but nothing came out, it was dry as a bone, today there was a drop of fuel hanging there, but no evidence of any fuel on the ground...
