The previous owner of my deuce went to a muffler shop and told them to put the biggest muffler they had on it. it's kinda big and blows the stock look, as he put on a heat guard that looks like a stock one for a 5-ton, but it makes the truck pleasant to drive and no earplugs are needed so it's...
That's a good idea POWERSTROKEN! I like that a lot better than running the risk of breaking off a stubborn rusty stud. I gotta remember that one for when I get ready to install an EGT in my truck!

There have been several threads on this subject. If you use the search feature, you'll find a few of them but the long and short of it is to get more power out of a multifuel deuce, the first order of business is to install an EGT (exhaust gas temperature) gauge and put the probe about an inch...
A piece of damp plywood or a welding blanket even dry should be fine. Forget all that hogwash you see in the movies about diesel tanks getting a spark and the huge movie explosion. The simple and unentertaining truth is DIESEL DOESN'T EXPLODE! An old neighbor of mine used to work in a truck stop...
I dunno about the other stuff, but the tags that mount the stack are bolted to the cab, unless they changed the upper mount when they put the fiberglass roof on the cab. I saw a couple things I would have done a little differently had it been my truck, but that was the episode that took me back...
I believe I mentioned this in another post before but I don't remember where. Locating an oil leak is as simple as an old trick I read about in Easyriders Magazine. It works for a Harley Davidson but I don't see why it wouldn't work for anything else that has oil in it that should stay in it and...
I made the mistake of passing an off ramp I should have taken to get to a truck stop and ran out of fuel in my deuce. (rule #3 of deuce ownership: Never trust a deuce fuel gauge) After walking down the side of the highway and filling up a 2-gallon can with #2 diesel, I poured it in the tank (not...
Verry groovy video and an awsome choice on the music! I haven't heard that song in years, but I knew exactly what it was when it started! I've been a George Thorogood fan for about 30 years or so.

Not a problem Duke, I stayed in HB for a little while right off Beach Bl. and Slater Av. but I grew up in Gardena. Let's be honest here, when it comes to California, the scenery is beautiful, most of the people are cool, but the laws suck and the governing body of this state seems to...
The only 2 ways I can think of off the top of my head to move a 5th-wheel trailer with an M109 would be to either take an M105 trailer chassis with the bed removed and mount a 5th-wheel plate on it effectively turning it onto a dolly as I stated in my last reply, or building some kind of...
I saw that auction too. They want $10,000 for it. I hope it's because the truck is in outstanding condition and not just because it was in a movie! I've been on a couple TV shows and can be seen in a major motion picture, but that doesn't make me worth any more than anyone else, does it? lol

Good question Bad_Carp! I was wondering that myself. Of course there is always an M105 chassis with the bed off and a 5th-wheel plate mounted on it. Sounds like fun, huh?
