    Deuce smoke video, do I need to turn my fuel down?

    Mine made 12 on my last trip. Right at 11 mpg coming home in February pulling my M1008. I need some oil! 35 to 40 mpg is rocking for a deuce! Cookeemann has a strong running M109! He hit the highway with the screamer turned on! Blew right by me like I was standing still!

    Deuce smoke video, do I need to turn my fuel down?

    Thanks Karl, I very seldom, like almost never, run over 2200 rpm. On the Titans by GPS it runs about 48 mph actual ground speed. My speedometer reads a little slow. Somehow a 48 mph con trail does not sound quite Kosher....

    Deuce smoke video, do I need to turn my fuel down?

    We talked about it and I decided to just put on the extended lens tube, just set the camera on the surface and drove over it. That pass coming at it was almost 50 mph, probably the fastest I have run the truck. I like the speed pass from behind. I have a 50 cal can full of chain. I think I will...

    Deuce smoke video, do I need to turn my fuel down?

    Went out playing again, not nearly as steep, not working nearly as hard to pull. Just goofing off....

    Deuce smoke video, do I need to turn my fuel down?

    We have a few old Macks running around and they can cloud the streets for several blocks. One of our local trash companies has five or six running around. They are not hard to spot coming in the twilight.... 8)

    Deuce smoke video, do I need to turn my fuel down?

    Mine does and I had not thought about that. Did yours have any other symptoms? My truck is running great, normally gets 10 or above in fuel mileage, unless I never leave town and idles smoothly, starts instantly, never runs like it is flooding or over fueling, it just blows copious smoke under...

    Deuce smoke video, do I need to turn my fuel down?

    Karl, Your M105 left here in good shape and good hands at around 1100 our time, yours too... It is on the back of the trailer, tongue on the sloping rear deck. Should be an easy pull off of there with a loader and chain. The bed cover is stuffed about halfway into a card board box to keep the...

    Deuce smoke video, do I need to turn my fuel down?

    That is what I run on the highway, around 45 mph. I guess I spent too much time reading the what is it about 2650 rpm thread and do not want the slot in my block. I know if I run 2200 to 2300 on the road it clears up,you can still see a smoke shadow, but it is not bellowing smoke like it does...

    Just fire her up at the BBQ, back ground music and skeeter control all at once. 8)

    Deuce smoke video, do I need to turn my fuel down?

    Filter looks new and the tubes are clean. The filter minder does not indicate anything, yet.. Thanks though, it is the little stuff I always miss. Glen

    Deuce smoke video, do I need to turn my fuel down?

    I agree it looks white with the sun on top of it. I have seen enough of it in the mirrors to know it is indeed black. I never have hit the governor, never had it close to the governor if it is 2650. I never have turned this engine over 2400, rarely hits 2200, I usually shift around 1800 to...

    Deuce smoke video, do I need to turn my fuel down?

    It typically runs on the low side of 180 degrees and that is about 30 miles from home, I am sure we had her warmed up. The temperature is rock solid, never fluctuates after warming up. The video is the same hill, I just crested it, went down turned around and came back. They were shot not two...

    Deuce smoke video, do I need to turn my fuel down?

    It is all black, that was with the sun behind the truck. The second half was the sun behind the camera or first half east bound, second half west bound. It does not use any oil that I can tell. When I checked it this morning, it was the same as it was when I changed the oil. I never have added...

    Deuce smoke video, do I need to turn my fuel down?

    I recruited my brother and we went out and shot a video of the deuce climbing a local hill. After reading threads on exhaust temperatures and fueling rates, I have been a little concerned about mine. It smokes on idle, it always trails smoke when accelerating. The rpm in this video is all under...
