This is a NICE cover I got from 91W350. I just wanted to show the world how good it looks on my truck. Can you say portable hunting blind??? Thanks Glen!
OK then, what is the proper procedure for detuning after the FDC is bypassed? I did the bypass when I first got the truck. I'm easy on it too, but dont want to hurt it. Seems like there would be an rpm setting (I have the tach in the truck and a handheld), a temp setting, a screw it all the...
My truck seems to smoke a LOT. It is a NON-TURBO multifuel. It does not smoke at all when cruising under no-load, but as soon as I hit a hill I can literally lay out a rope of smoke. Coming back from a car show recently, my friends in a Model A had to ask me to let them in front, as the smoke...
We drove the truck about 35 miles to a car show last Sunday and my son shot this video. The 14.00's make the speedo off almost exactly 10 mph according to my gps. I had just flipped the rear hubs on Saturday, so it was a good test run to see if having the rear wheels track the front helped the...
I dont plan on hauling people in the bed. I do have a high end 3-1/2" in and out muffler on it, and it is still dang loud. I had it straight up with a rain cap, now a 90 turned out-not much difference. I wonder how much engine / tranny noise there still is without the exhaust noise. I dont...
Hey guys. I'm running 14.00R20's on my deuce. I am doing what apparently can't be done. It is bobbed and has a M105 bed and the rear hubs are flipped so the rears follow the same tracks as the fronts. While my bed is spaced up 3" off the frame, and I angled the 2 middle crossmembers on the...
I am sure that someone on here had done this mod, but I can't find it back... I'm interested in running my deuce exhaust either out the rear of the truck or out the side. If you have done this, please let me know what size you used and throw up some pics for me. It would be greatly...
Does that mean I just look stupid, or my truck is only acceptable for advertising????
I'm not, and it isn't.
What color is yours 3dAngus??? Or are you like the guy who said he didn't like Butterscotch as a Corvette color as he looked at my car...I asked what color his was...you know, he...
I cut 36" out of mine. I measured 14 times and cut once, but I was also using a M105 trailer for a bed. If you look at my post "getting closer to bob" you can follow what I did. The way I did it may not be the only or best way, but it sure worked out well for me. If you are going to use the...
I'd like to say that I am finished with my deuce bob project, but we all know you are never really done. The paint is Pittsburgh semi-gloss exterior latex applied with an airless sprayer. Yeah, it has some sags and runs, but I am impatient and painted it when it was 102 degrees outside.
I...
OK, so my non-turbo deuce also smokes tremendously, and yes, I do have the FDC bypassed. If I read the post above correctly, I have to adjust the fuel screw clockwise to INCREASE the fuel by 13-16 flats?!?!?!? I have a pic of the pump at home on a different puter, so I'll have to look at that...
Thanks for all of the input! I'll be using a spray gun, not a can, so I dont want to have to "hold something in place". I'm going to see what 3M offers, but the dish soap sounds like a viable alternative. I'll probably shoot the frame and undercarriage monday evening, so I'll see how this...
Well, the deuce is ready for paint. I'm going to go the latex route with an airless sprayer as it seems to work very well for many of you. Here is my question. I was told by a former military person that when the military painted a truck, they used some sort of water soluable jelly (I'm...
Yes, that is the vent line you have circled. It goes to a junction block on the crossmember where the master cylinder vent is also connected. From there it runs up a open end line that is just folded over near the air filter. No need to remove the airpak to remove that line. I took all the...
My bad. I stripped mine all the way to the frame from the cab back as well. I ran my air ride off of a regulator fed from the line under the passenger side dash, but I have to say that I am changing that soon as well. I don't know if my regulator is not sensitive enough or what, but I am...
