    How should I heat the Deuce???

    Agreed. Did you look into why it wasnt working or just cap the line because it was leaking? the time and money you spend on a different way to heat the cab, you could have the same outcome (working heat) by fixing your fuel fired heater. if you have a warm place to work on the truck, i say why...

    What is the lowest temp your deuce started in

    I started mine a couple weeks ago when it was 11 degrees out. it cranked a little bit but did fire up. maybe some fresh batterys and it would spin over better. I cleaned all the connections as a PM. not bad i say :)

    Problem spin off oil filter adapter

    When i put my adapters on, i cleaned both surfaces with thinner and i put a thin, thin coating of "right stuff" on the paper gasket. This "right stuff" is made by permatex and is absolutely awesome stuff. my original oil filter canisters leaked and i didnt want the same problem with my adapters...

    My new water buffalo

    Very nice! It seems like you dont see many of these trailers around. what do people do with them? i know obviously haul water with them, maybe spray crops and fertilizer.... but what other uses are there? I still want to get a M105A2 someday (just because i want one and could use it for...

    cold start's

    I put cardboard over my radiator before i got the winter front cover and it did help, but the temperature was about 35 degrees out. -3 degrees out is really cold no matter what, but maybe the thermostat is stuck a little and not letting it warm up. Im not suggesting to tear right into it because...

    cold start's

    what about putting a battery charger onboard? so when you plug your truck in, it warms up the engine and charges the batterys (5 or 10 amps maybe) so they are "warmed up". I know literally warm batterys are good, but what about just charging them before you start? seems like they would warm up a...

    Christamas time

    My Dad and I hung out Christmas light up this weekend. The Deuce came in handy! It is not a 14 foot step ladder, but a 14,000lb ladder! [thumbzup]

    cold start's

    I fired my deuce up today for the first time in about a week, week and a half. Temp was about 20 defrees F. It cranked for a little while with my foot to the floor i was bumping the manifold heater and eventually it stayed running but only about 400 rpm. Foot was still to the floor and i was...

    cold start's

    I looked on youtube and only found a couple videos of multifuel cold starts. i dont know why, but cold starts always seem to be pretty neat. its almost a true test to any engine of how good it runs to overcome the cold to start. we'll see how good mine does tonight. I think i am going to attach...

    m35a2 with dual 7 inch stacks

    i like it! how did you split the exhaust? i often wondered if you had a non turbo Multifuel and split the exhaust manifolds to fun duals. My friend has a Brockway 260 with a split exhaust manifold and it sounds good :-)

    cold start's

    Im not sure. i know i see my deuce down at the shop and just itch to go cold start it and let it warm up. i have the winter front cover on mine, so that helps it warm up, but its still a slow warm up. tonight is supposed to get down to 11 degrees F and i want to see how good it starts. The only...

    winch and shear pins, ugh!!!

    Good Point. Im the same way with my winch. i need to get some aluminum pins. seems like any grade of alminum will be better than a grade 2 bolt. I should buy another 10 ton snatch block anyway though.... just because.

    winch and shear pins, ugh!!!

    i had the same problem with my winch even using a 10 ton snatch block. i have a grade 2 bolt in it now. i dont like that i have that bolt in there, but its the best i can do for now. i just use my head when im pulling something and always use a snatch block. I might even buy another snatch block...

    Fuel Leak

    I changed my copper line from the primary filter to the rubber hose on the IP also. I thought about replacing that hose also just because it looks a little wet around the hose. Was your hose in the IP leaking? How hard of a job is that to do? Where did you get the hose? it seems like a hydraulic...

    flame heater help

    that is in the TM. I believe you pretty much dead head the pump. but i dont know how important that is because the actual nozzle has an over flow for it. not to say that shouldnt be over looked. I believe there was a thread on here before where somebody rebuilt their pump. have you taken the...

I replaced the pump and new spark plug and now it works. It was down to 20 degrees here the other night and i started it up just for fun.... while...
