    LED turn signal flash pattern

    I'll double check. There are multiple circuit code numbers on each of the new lights, but each corrosponds with ones on the truck. 461,491, and 20. Have the ground run right to the frame, and park, blackout and flash functions work fine. Tail lights have been on for months, and worked fine until...

    LED turn signal flash pattern

    LED turn signal flashing characteristics I've searched for a couple hours already, and didn't see this covered... With incandescent lighting, my deuce turn signals and hazards flashed from bright to off. With front incandescent, and rear Grote LED's they functioned the same. Now I have...

    Deuce muffler option

    I've got the Moroso spiral muffler, and EGT's do increase faster even with that design. My fuel was turned up prior to installation so I was used to watching the pyrometer. My upper stack was tan carc and never turned pink until I installed the muffler below it. Have thought about removing it...

    Iowa Title for M931

    There shouldn't be any inspection required. You just sign the form stating it's "substantially in compliance" which is true if all the factory equipment is functional. Would be a good idea to at least add a license light. It's not open to interpretation by the office worker, it's law.

    Resistration issues in Iowa!!

    Can't beat that price! My deuce is $240 per year for about 20K lbs max. I think it was the same fee from about 16K to 20K, and then another $100 or so over 20k.

    M923 from Johnston, IA to Dekalb, IL

    I previewed alot of M35A2 trucks there before I bought mine and about 1/3 had no brakes and a couple had stuck air compressors. I wonder why they don't specify driven/towed onto lot anymore? It does seem the 900's are in better shape, it would be nice if they did the videos on all of them, makes...

    ATF red dye?

    Went to a meeting with DOT a couple years ago for work. The officer said if they find off road in your road truck, they fine you a base fine plus a fine per gallon of all red fuel in your truck AND on your property regardless of intended end use. He cited an actual case (his words) of a farmer...

    death wobble.. Fixing it with the steering stabilizer?

    I "fixed" my 1960 willys that way when I was a kid kust because I couldn't find a replacement steering box cheap. I wouldn't be too happy if a shop had done this as a fix, especially without asking. It shouldn't be too hard to find the real cause.

    St. Patricks Day Parade 2012

    Looks like fun! There was one about 50 miles from me. I would like to have gone, but I missed the pre-registration and didn't care for the $20 entry fee. I know most car shows charge because of prizes, but a parade?:cookoo:
