Deuce Breakdown - Lafayette, LA

[south101]

Anyone able to assist with transporting a down deuce from Lafayette area to Houston ASAP. Had clutch or tranny problems last night and afraid to move her until I can get her looked at. I have an M1009 hooked to her by towbar. I'll need both transported. PM me if interested. Tim

Need Transport from Lafayette, LA to Houston, TX ASAP

Need my deuce and m1009 (attached by towbar) transported from Lafayette to Houston. Was enroute last night when experienced clutch or transmission problems. Truck ran and drove when parked, but wouldn't stay in 5th and was leaking fluid from underside. If interested, let me know. Have to move ASAP. Tim

Pretty sure that there is someone in the area that could at least take a look. I would come and look but am out of the area right now. Might give it an hour or two for a reply.

Worse come to worse, try Bayou Wrecker out of Lake Charles 337.497.0888. They have helped me out numerous times are are reasonable. Uh, cash TALKS! Don't know what it would be from Lafayette to Houston though.

 

[south101]

If it comes to it, I guess I'll have to go the wrecker route, but, the offer is out to any fellow members for now.

Need recovery of Deuce and/or M1009 in Lafayette, LA Area

Bump, nobody seen this one?

 

[doghead]

Too far for me...

Don't know the area or the members there either.

Sorry

 

[gimpyrobb]

Me either, thats why I bumped it up.

Does the m1009 need to be towed or can it be driven?

 

[4x4 Forever]

Does anyone know of a place he can store these animals for a few days, until he can get back to recover?

I don't know of anyone one in the Lafayette area. I don't work at the casino anymore in Lake Charles, so that is out as well.

We have some Lafayette members as well a Duson, and I think Abbyville also

 

[LongueCarabine]

Just saw this one myself. I'm about an hour north of Lafayette, there are members who live in the immediate area. Dunno who might have space to store his vehicles.

Has anyone heard from South101?

Ok, so you have a slipping clutch and there is oil leaking from the bell housing.

I'm going to bet it is gear oil. This is a known problem with deuces. Drain 12-20oz of fluid from the transmission, spray a bunch of brake cleaner in the clutch observation cover(after you take it off) and get back on the road. This has happened to me at least twice and many others too.

I'd help if I was closer, hope you get help soon.
