I've thought about getting some kind of cargo netting like they put over military pallets on cargo planes or getting some 1" webbing fabbed up. I'd mount it so it covers the opening you get when you fold the seats down, that would keep little kids from falling out. A piece on the end with...

Seems like the heat is expanding a connection just enough to break a contact, might just need to bend something in the switch for a positive contact after the switch gets warm. I don't think it would be dirt or corrosion if it regularly lit up when cold.

What kind of tires are those and how do they handle? (If you've had it out on the road) Are you running them as singles or do you just have the inner rims on for the refurbish?

NICE!! Thanks for the motivation to get to work on mine. :)

Most certainly is! GREAT movie BTW.

Forget that little thing, you need one of THESE!!! A collection of locomotive air horns :razz:

Your wood cribbing would be okay, you just need to not have so much wood over hanging (Less likely to have something catch and make your cribbing unstable) and keep the jacks just inside of the outer edges. I keep any treated 4x4's 12"s or longer for blocking, and I try to have a dozen or so...

OR, you can just let it rust out and drain naturally....:(

Hey Valence, what did you use to patch up your cover? I have one that has several smaller holes and one 4" tear on the front side that I have to fix as well as new rope. Mine has the camo design.

If you don't know much about injectors, you're better off taking them to a good diesel shop that can do it for you. But I would try all the other suggestions first, especially since you don't have alot of smoke (suggesting a problem with the combustion of fuel)

What's your exhaust look like? Is there a lot of smoke, and what color is it? I'd also check to see if your brakes are binding. You might want to check your injectors as well.

Heck, if you can get her running, it would be a shame to part it out. Looks fairly solid!

I haven't had time to look underneath much since I just got it. I imagine some flexion from the torque in the drive train would be normal and could result in slight movement of the shift levers. The odometer shows less than 27K (But I know that could be inaccurate) so hopefully there's not any...

Okay, so's ya'll know, I did search for this first there just isn't much on it. I drove the deuce just a little, put it in low so I could shift some gears. It doesn't seem to want to go into low very easy. I can feel the detents, but they seem weak on going into low. The handel moves up and...

I need the tailgate open, not the side bashed in!! :razz: I saw his new stencil on the door!

Yeah, the previous owners "friends" got it stuck and tried backing over a 12" tree. :( I just want to get it to open for now. I think I'll end up getting a new one eventually. I think I can use a hydraulic jack and Porta-Power to straighten out the rest.

Here's another pic going through downtown Hamilton Oh., turned a lot of heads going through town! The only thing close to a mishap was the rubber rope broke on one side of the tarp. We secured it before it became a real problem.

Well I got it home safe and sound, mainly due to the fine assistance of one Mr. Gimpy. (Well OK, he did about 99.9% of it) I think I saw somewhere on here that someone made the comment that he is well respected on this site, I second that. I got to spread some gravel and wait for it to dry...

I'm like you, a new owner and very excited. I'm a bit nervous too, 'cause I don't have it home yet. I tend to worry about my stuff when it's out of sight. I gotta get a cord for my phone so I can post pics.

Kinda ironic that CARC is probably more of a risk than the CBRNE is was meant to protect against. :roll:
