Excuse me while I run out and tighten my cables... :P

Looks great. Does the turbo really add that much power? Something like 15 hp I think is the published number. I've got a normally aspirated duece and have never hand the turbo experience. Am I missing out?

I let mine (non-turbo) run for about 5 minutes at idle when she's cold before driving it. At short stops I let it idle instead of shutting it down. After a drive I let it run for about 3 minutes. Good enough?

I'd venture to say that it depends quite a bit on how it's maintained.

Where are we at with the production? I'd like to get one of these things!

Every first Saturday of the month at Krystal's on Merrill Rd. Starts at approx 1600 and finishes at around 2000. Lots of really nice old stuff and one green truck (mine) :D If someone decides to go email me xjchief@budlight.com

Napa here carries Fleet Guard. About 15 bucks a gallon.

Okay, got them busted loose, mounted the bracket, so all that is left is the plumbing. Before I do that I just want to be 100% sure the hose is routed to the pump housing itself right? Kinda hard to tell from the picture. Once I get that sorted out I can go buy the fittings to attach the...

I'll try that in the morning- right after I return my lifetime guaranteed wrench. :P

How did you guys get the plugs out? I just broke my wrench on one of them... Heating or is there another trick that would be better?

Where can I get a copy of that article? Sounds like a great idea for the deuce and my m715.

I'm certainly no expert but have done a little painting on my trucks. Take my advice with a grain of salt. I sprayed 3 coats of primer then three of paint. First time I used synthenol and was happy with the results but because it can be a pain to get I use xylene now. Xylene matches up...

Ditto on USAA. They insure my regular daily drivers and my M715 is insured through their partnership with American Collector but they refused to touch the deuce. They said their limit was 10k lbs. Do they know how much it weighs? I'd hate to make a claim and have them find out then... Also...

Anybody know the O.D. of the stock exhaust pipe on it? Mine seems a bit small considering the size of the pipe near the muffler.

Getting pretty lonely around here. I go to the local car show every first Saturday of the month and for the last 2 years I've been the only MV there. There is a certain joy that comes from parking a M715 or an M35A2 next to fully restored classics- I think they're afraid their cars might catch...
