    I use Rotella, but then my Daughter works at Advance Auto, so I get a considerable discount. One thing about synthetic.... I had a Buell motorcycle and had rebuilt it verry time consumingly and perfect. All was good, NO leaks as I took my time in that area. I went to the dealer and wanted to...

    Bobbed truck, Shocks or Not?

    I'd think you'd not have the speed in the gnarlies to ever have them actually function much....on the rear that is. Unless you drive like you stole it...? Most of the stuf that you'll likely encounter would be for slow speed manouvering I'd think. Other than a top/frame mount, it should be...

    Removing a Turbo

    That would be my first mod, a Napa Muffler on any Deuce I got. I have mine that way now and its quite liveable. I also just got some rubberized spray-coating that I'm going to do the floor and under-dash front of the cab. I'll let the forum know how it comes out as to noise reduction.
