    Jump Starting a Deuce

    Yea, you are probably right. The amperage for two series connected jump packs might tend to overload the cable as the current would have only one path to flow.

    Jump Starting a Deuce

    You can connect them like renovate7 says or you can connect the + of one jump pack to the - of the other pack (series) and then connect them + and - of jump pack to + and - of series connected batteries.

    $4 a gallon!

    I put the motor oil straight in the gasoline and allow it to settle over night. It had been sitting in one spot for months so I figured that the worst gunk settled to the bottom, and I left the last cup in the jug. As for WVO (waste veg oil), yes, definitely filter it. I would filter it to at...

    $4 a gallon!

    I have run a 50-50 gasoline used motor oil mix with no problems. You can also used waste vegetable oil in a diesel with no problems. And on the off chance you live near a commercial aircraft repair facility where you might get some contaminated jet fuel, Jet A jet fuel works fine in a diesel...

    I would say that you'll have a hard time finding a 12 v starter that will crank a V8 Cat.

    EUC

    Also, even if you do sell it later, it's no big deal if you sell to another citizen. They don't expect you to hold on to them forever.

    Honey, you got some splainin' to do!

    Re: RE: Hone, you got some splainin Then maybe I'll go with the 46" tires and super single it. Where can I get wheels? They only posted two pics of the first truck. The tarp is just pulled up for some reason.

    Wont shut off why?

    A stuck fuel solenoid could do it. Give it a good rap with a screwdriver handle. Fuel starvation isn't bad, it is just a pain to get the engine running after the IP and injectors are full of air. Next time pull the air cleaner and choke the air off.

    Honey, you got some splainin' to do!

    RE: Hone, you got some splainin My current plans are to take the one in the best shape and put the winch on it and then to sell the others for money for wheels and 52" tires and a crew cab conversion.

    Honey, you got some splainin' to do!

    Well, I've done it now. I just bought no1, not 2, not 3, but FOUR deuces from the GL lot in Smyrna, ten miles from my home. Mama just looked at me and ssked, "Where are we going to put them all?" To which I replied, "We have a big back yard. There is PLENTY of room." It's a good thing she...

    Temporary Travel Permit (tags) - In PA; Proper Procedure?

    Well, bring along plenty of tools and common parts and a credit card. I'll pray that your trip is nothing but boring. Also, before you drive a truck not meant for the long haul 2000+ miles, consider locating and installing a springer seat from an old OTR truck. Your butt and back will thank...

    Temporary Travel Permit (tags) - In PA; Proper Procedure?

    It is going to cost you more than $1000 just in fuel, add in airline tickets, motels, parts, problems, tow bills, food, time away from work, etc and you are easily looking at $2000 to $2500. You sure you can't find someone to haul it for you?

    What to do with Deuces?

    My friends and neighbors ask what am I going to do with my deuce. My standard answer has become, "Anything I want." That usually shuts them up.

    Brakes, or lack of......

    I second the brake shoe adjustment. They are probably automatic adjusting brakes. Drive in reverse and then apply the brakes. Do this several times to adjust the brakes.
