    Oh no, RUST!

    You can never stop rust, just slow it down unless off course you cut the cancer infected area out and replace it with new metal.

    Multifuel Engine life - the facts from Uncle Sam

    We lost one in Saudi, but the operator ran it low on oil. I lost one driving home from Grayling, but the operator overheated it. I have been a mechanic all my life and the reason I have always had a job is the keyword, "Operator".

    Cover for a deuce?

    Cover I use to have a neighbor in the sign business and he gave me a used sign/tarp, the type that go on billboards on the highway. They are rather large, but easy to cut to size. May be hard to find but I'm sure there is a sign co. somewhere close to you.

    Rod bearings, failure mode

    I have one that is knocking after overheating the engine. I am going to drop the pan and check out the damage. I am hoping I can slip a new bearing in. However I worked in a machine shop and built many engines over the years and I am sure it won't be that easy.

    Boat Anchor

    My employee left with it not knowing the process of making a claim. He called me after he pulled out of the gate and asked me how damaged it was the last time I saw it. I think Joe was flustered as there was another guy there picking something up screaming profanities at Joe for not taking his...

    Help In Michigan

    Just checking to see if any fellow Michiganders might have a Deuce tow bar for sale, rent or loan? I am in Howell and going to pick up one of the Deuces I bought in Grayling. It made it to Roscommon before my driver overheated it and smoked the engine. Thanks for any help you can offer

    Deuce hiding out in the woods

    I once watched an old camper on some property that the state bought. I was able to contact the owner and she would not commit to selling it to me. She lived elsewhere and so I drove by everyday watching it and calling her occasionally until it was gone. I called her and asked if she took it out...

    Why did you buy your deuce

    I drive mine to remind my X wife what a Redneck I am and that we should have never gotten married in the first place. My Deuce would not fit into her high maintenance life style. My new wife thinks it's cool and wants to drive it.

    cucv Towbar tips

    Towing Heres what I did with my 99 3/4Ton Suburban. Ran about 55MPH from Columbus to Detroit. I'm sure your 1/2Ton will do just fine. Once again, safety chains and lights a must.

    Alternator belts squeeling

    Don't want to be Mr. Obvious but be absolutely sure you have good belt alignment. I just went through this and pulled my hair out. I had all the stock mounting hardware and the right alt. was still way off. Finally a mechanic buddy of mine put a little larger spacer between the alt. pulley and...

    Leaking Diesel From Filter Housing? New filter didn't fix issue? What to do?

    I had one that leaked at the sensor and I could never get the o-ring to seal so I just replaced the entire base plate with a used one. The sensor is just held in with a spring loaded clip and that was not keeping enough pressure against o-ring
