    Lots Pulled From Event

    I was watching those M931s in Sante Fe too. Most of my convoy time was spent behind the wheel of an M923 and I don't remember them being too bad on a long drive. Perfect for dragging a 5'er off road. I ended up with a good deal on a boat this weekend(if there is such a thing), but I'm still...

    Lots Pulled From Event

    The upside is that I don't have to decide between a new boat or a new truck. GL made that decision for me.

    Lots Pulled From Event

    Anybody ever get a reason? Did they re-list later when it happened?

    Lots Pulled From Event

    I was watching a group of trucks and they disappeared halfway through the auction. Have y'all seen that before?

    My Evil plan is working...

    Get her a springer seat...aka another deuce with her in the drivers seat.

    Tow rope?

    Check Desert Rat. I use their straps all the time, even to pull a stuck deuce with a 12K fifth-wheel behind it. They stretch nicely to keep the shock load down and no metal bits.

    Zerex ELC Coolant

    It's red. The Zerex is the local NAPA's offering. I called and told 'em I needed pre-charged coolant and he said he'd have it for for me. Great, so my wife stopped by to pick it up since she drives right by on the way home. She gets home and I look at the bottle and I don't see that it's...

    Zerex ELC Coolant

    Is anyone running the Zerex(Valvoline) HD diesel coolant in their deuce? It doesn't have SCA, but it says it prevents pitting.

    Stupid Insurance Agent

    Ditto. About the same price here in NM. I've even had a claim. It was painless and I wasn't dropped.

    Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge Line

    Hey guys, it's been I while since I've posted. I'm getting ready to install a mechanical oil pressure gauge from Summit in my M109. I don't have the truck at the house so I need some help with estimating the length of line from the sending port to the gauge. I'll come through the firewall...

    How do you justify a Deuce to a wife/gf?

    If your'e that set on getting the green iron and she's not, you're not gonna be happy. Same goes for motorcycles, boats, campers, etc. as long as you're fiscally responsible. Been there, done that. As the saying goes, "if momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy". I got lucky, my wife...

    Air tank fittings

    Thanks for the good advice. I ended up using a street elbow that was way too long and I had wrestle it in and reroute the air line.

    Air tank fittings

    Much thanks for looking...I'll owe you big.

    Air tank fittings

    Doghead, I thought about it but there's not much clearance on the front side. I have the reducers for the draincock. ARDEUCE, thanks. I'm 100% sure the pipe threads are 3/4. I'm pretty sure the compression fittings are 3/8. The air lines are 3/8 copper right?

    Air tank fittings

    My wife's truck has a pinhole in one of the air tanks so I ordered a NOS tank. Got it and hopped under the truck to swap the tank out. I pulled the old tank and sat it on the table next to the new tank. Turns out the new tank is plumbed for way larger fittings at the ends, 3/4" in fact. The...

    Flame heater removal progress check

    Just an FYI, the folks at Quick Start are great. NAPA had the plug to fit the IP. But, I had a heck of a time tracking down pipe plugs for the manifold in small town Las Cruces so I decided to stop wasting my time and called Quick Start to see if they'd sell me the plugs that come with their...

    Flame heater removal progress check

    K....I yanked the flame heater and I need the plugs. The IP should just be a standard 1/4" compression plug. Does anyone know the thread pitch for the igniter and injector(13/16" and 11/16") on the manifold?

    Flame heater removal progress check

    Ooops...I don't need to pick up any more fuel line. I'm just gonna recycle some of the line I'm pulling out to eliminate the tee. I just need to grab some compression connectors.
