Also, check/ grease all your tie rod ends and kingpin bushings, jack up the front end and turn wheels side to side to distribute grease evenly with no load on it. It could just be a dry joint but I doubt it.

Sounds like it is almost time for a new power steering pump. It would be good to flush the entire system and get new fluid into everything and then change the pump. You don't want to run old fluid/ metal particles through the new pump.

I just throw a few quarts of whatever cheap motor oil is on sale at the time in the tank with fuel. I have used 2 stroke oil and the truck did seem to run a bit stronger. I run dieselkleen at all times no matter what else I have in the fuel tank though.

I agree PB, more brainwashing that starts in public schools. I would be up for Independence Day event.

Soon enough you'll be usin that ingenuity to turn it into an air ride seat I'm sure.

I think I'm going to take mine to a tire shop too. I have some 11.00 NDT on five ton rims that I need to swap onto deuce rims, but I've yet to be able to get the tire to slip off the bead so I could get the ring off, and I'm using the loader on a 60 horse John Deere pushing down on it.

God bless American ingenuity. Nicely done sir.

Ohhhh, that's not a hard job. You just have some learning to do and experience to gain.

I need a set of these too.

No no, the pole barn had a star or something painted on the front of it just below roof line. It's been a long time though. There was also a wagon or something in a field out front with a flag and flagpole, and I remember. Whoever it was would always put banners on the wagon. My friends were the...

Ahh, roger that. Oh, by the way, just wondering if you are the guy in Franktown that has the deuce under that big pole barn with the white star on the top? I used to live in Parker and had friends in Franktown.

Kind of sad that it'll never fly again, BUT, that is a much better fate than a shredder. So who is putting the engine from it in their deuce?

You only need counterweights if you have ctis.

Have you checked the transmission mount and motor mounts? And yes, a loose converter bolt (even just snug) can cause a good bit of racket. You could have a cracked/ broken flexplate too. If that is the case you will find out soon enough.

Looks...strange...

Are they going to do a restore? Or are they just getting it ready for concrete pad duty?
