    My truck got NOS!!!

    Totally kidding, by the way. DO NOT sniff your bottle juice! EVER! Come on! :cookoo: I know the "unfortunate tie" will probably always be there and will result in constant re-education. aua And yes, I know there's a difference between medical Nitrous Oxide and Racing Nitrous Oxide. Thanks...

    My truck got NOS!!!

    So . . . It's either ether or eather but it could be NOX not NOS.:cookoo: I know how to spell both, we just need to figure out what it is. Open the line and smell it. If you start laughing then it's NOXrofl. If you start running then it's ether:driver:. I hope I have helped...

    Any members own a wood gas powered mv?

    It can be done! Thanks guys for finally talking about something that has interested me for quite some time! In doing my research, one of the best sites I came across was: About Gasifier Experimenters Kit There is a ton of information on there and a big thanks to johnnypayphone for posting...

    OMG the color

    If it could be picked up for a decent price, I would buy a deuce no matter what color it was. I need my first one in a bad way. A re-paint would definitely be in order, but I'm just sayin'... Better than nothing . . . but only by a little bit.:-P

    M35A2 / A3 measurements and dimensions...

    So, I was wondering. Does anyone know of a place that has diagrams and dimensions of the M35A2 truck as was issued, stock? I am looking and dreaming about owning one right now and would love to model one up on my 3D CAD software. Once I do this, I will be more than happy to post it here, I...

    power limitations of a 250 Cummins?

    Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of dropping in a 5.9 common rail engine from '03 or newer. These things are great for power and there are a ton of aftermarket parts for upgrading. Also, the 6-speed manual is more attractive to me than the older 5-speed. The disk...

    power limitations of a 250 Cummins?

    Holy Cow!!! I read the article and I was impressed to say the least! Anyone who thinks you shouldn't build an engine for more power, should read this article. Over 800 HP out of a 855cid Diesel engine? With no change in mileage? I'm not looking for that much HP but it shouldn't be hard to get a...

    5.9 Cummins, NV4500, Hydro-boost, and Disc Brakes

    Now this is what I'm talking about!!! Mudguppy, very nice job! You have done all the things that I would like to eventually do to my first Deuce. . . once I buy my first Deuce, of course. Unfortunately, I am still in dreaming and wishing mode. Soon - I keep telling myself. I would really...

    power limitations of a 250 Cummins?

    Yeah, I checked that thread out. That's what I'm talking about!! This guys did a really nice job. I can't wait to see some pics and videos of the finished project. I'd also be really interested in seeing some stats once finished. Does anyone know of a tranny that would swap in to these Deuces...

    Sleeper cab on a deuce?

    More, more, more! UncleMikey, These pictures have inspired many I'm sure. The more pictures, the better! Definitely looking forward to seeing a large campsite with 6 trucks and trailers all setup and having a blast! That is awesome!!!!!!

    power limitations of a 250 Cummins?

    not exactly what I want I completely understand. I am not wanting to get into the hobby to go fast. I know that's not what its about. I also know that I probably won't ever have a snowballs chance in **** of doing what my cousin did with his Dodge. Most of my usage will be off road...

    power limitations of a 250 Cummins?

    I appreciate it. I will definitely drive it the way it is for quite a while before I "turn it up". The only reason I brought up the 5.9 is because it is capable of a considerable amount of hp and tq. I just like the idea of having something that it totally unexpected. My cousin was driving...

    power limitations of a 250 Cummins?

    Oh, I'm sure I won't be disappointed! I just can't wait to own one! I don't have a need to go fast, I just want to get up to the speed limit quickly, if you know what I mean. To be able to pull away from the average car at a stop light. I know these things aren't an indy car and that's fine...
