Hello Essayons, I didn't want to come off wrong here I just see that with fuel prices going ofer $3.00 more and more people are going to be drawn to WVO and I can imagine how the renders are circling their wagons. For the fun things to know department --- Griffin Industries has a big rendering...

RE: 5ton radiator in a duece? I was told by a good source that the 5-ton radiator would not fit in the deuce

RE: Re: burning some waste veggie A word of caution "Heads Up" about finding sources for waste veg oil. But first --- just so this isn't misunderstood, --- I 'm all all for burning waste veg oil and in fact I'm cconsidering buying some centrifuged and polished restaurant grease from a local...

Hello, Kenneth Engle said in is post that at over 50 MPH fuel mileage suffers. How many RPM are you churning at 50MPH? If this sounds like a dumb question it's because I have 1400 rubber on my deuce and will soon be running 395s (46.7 tall). I'm trying to determine where the "sweet spot"...

Well I'll be damned! If those FAQs listed in the utilities had of been a snakes they would have but me --- several times. I literally looked for hours and for some reason couldn't see them. Thanks.

There seems to be some confusion as to whether 5th gear (overdrive) is a .079 or a .085 ratio. Can enyone clear this up and if both ratios exist how we can tell by looking at a transmission which ratio applies.

Hello Lee, Thanks for furnising this info --- very interesting AND encouraging. With fuel prices going up the way they are I think deuce owners are going to start paying closer attention and trying to figure out ways to increase fuel their economy. I'm going to launch a major campaign on...

Hello, I don't know if this is a question of a suggestion --- but here goes.... I've spent a lot of ("enjoyable") time reading the SS site. I say this to qualify that I'm not a newbie that hasn't taken the time to properly check things out before asking what could be considered as dumb and/or...

Minnesota is a long long way from Arizona but I had the same concerns last year when I purchased my Deuce. I simply picked up the phone and called the highway patrol. They patched me through to the Diesel Bears and after telling me that they were going to have a lot of fun when they stopped me...

Hello Daniel, I bought a set of tires and a set of front end boot guards from you and didn't have a problem --- all was well.

I think you're right Houdel, They told me at Memphis Equipment that one of the things that could cause a deuce to start hard is the fuel turned down too low.

Hello, I was told by a the guy that built my bobbed deuce that 1600s won't fit. I'm running 1400s and can't imagine why anyone would want to go any taller. At 2600 RPM 1400s produce 72 MPH and plenty of ground clearance. Believe me, when you're running 72 MPH in a bobbed deuce (deuce-bobb)...

I pulled the flameheater of my Deuce and threw it away --- installed an ether shot system complete with a lockout switch using a a keyed ingition switch. The last thing you want is someone accidentally pushing the button --- especially on a hot day. In the winter I either keep my truck plugged...

Thank You Wreckerman 893! Thanks for the kind remarks about Big Red. www.M35MonsterTruck.com Ole Santa will make sure something special is left in your stocking on Christmas morning. (Only 136 shopping days till Christmas) Ho Ho Ho

Hello Lee ----Thanks for the insight. Guess I didn't realize the FDC also had to do with #1 Diesel. Sometimes #1 is all we can get up here in mid-winter. I've got a combination boost & pyro gauge. With my FITP (foot in the pump) --- running empty max boost is 6 PSI with 1100 degrees on the...

Hello, Concerning fuel economy: Running empty with 46.7" Dia --- 14:00R20 Michelin XLs, lock-out front hubs and the LDT -"D" turbo I'm getting 10MPG. Bear in mind this is a bodded 4X4 I've got a new 24 volt radiator fan that will eliminate the "fixed" water pump fan. When it is installed I...

Hello, I've got an LDS (5-Ton) engine located and have been lusting about dropping it in my bobbed deuce 4x4 (www.M35MonsterTruck.com). Does anyone have any insight as to how swapping from an LDT to an LDS would inpact fuel economy? I don't haul anything in my Deuce but a little firewood and...

I'm told that old Oliver farm tractors had LDT-465 engines with remote filters. Maybe the modification is available off the shelf through Oliver.

Replacing the standard "Always On" fan with an electric unit will definately be the first thing to track and post. Synthetics would no doubt be a good investement. I'm sure the engine is running cold but I'm going to install a mechanical (thermal-couple) gauge for verification. According...

Sasquatch Santa sez thanks for the insight. I should have mentioned in my original post that I have indeed tested and installed a new thermostat --- sorry for the oversight. The flagpoles on the www.M35MonsterTruck.com 4X4 were made from 1-1/4" round bar with bobbed trailer hitch balls welded...
