    How hard are deuces to work on?

    Remember that you do not need any impact wrenches to work on the Deuces..or 5 tons for that matter... A 3/4 socket set and a breaker bar and a piece of pipe will suffice... Impact tools are noisy and require a compressor bigger than the on board one for most jobs... Peace of mind and...

    Strange Start

    Starters sometimes get a little lazy, but it might be the starter relay under the dash by the STE/ICE connector, they are prone to fail in many modes....they usually stick engaged though... and burn up the starter and drain the batteries.

    602 Blues

    The replacement Zenith carbs seem to be a little better at leaning out than the original Holleys. Also remember to advance the timing some to compensate for the improved gasoline octane since 1950... remember they were designed for MoGas.. and you can run a little hotter plug... the 2245s are...

    M1008 Glow Plug Issue

    As it is a standard 12 V relay, you can get as many as you want at NAPA or other nice place like that... The large terminals do not know what voltage they are getting ... just amperes...and they work fine... Make sure you get a metal can and not the plastic one which was discontinued.

    Question on VIN

    Well, what else do the data plates say regarding the truck... is it really a 0525 ? It would be neat to have the third one built, but I am guessing a little data plate dancing... Check the frame number on the left front behind and near the front of the LF tire... clean the frame good and it...
