    Deuce Hoist Units on GL

    Oh well, the hoist frames went for more than I could bid. $450 for the 3 plus the comission and sales tax. The winning bidder will be paying $529.65 for 3 hoist frames. I keep kicking my butt for missing the complete unit that sold in Maryland a few months back for $150.00

    trouble shooting...bad rod bearings

    Did you mike the crank journals? Also, I would plastigauge the crank to make sure you don't have a hammered out rod big end. You did replace the rod, didn't you? If the bearing spun, that rod is toast. The 120 psi at startup concerns me. You may have a plugged oil hole in the rod journal where...

    Deuce Top Question...

    The date 09-03-02 just about has to be a 939 top. They may have used some of the older tags on the later tops?

    to Turbo, or not to Turbo?

    Marti What kind of fuel economy numbers are you getting? I thought I saw "low 20's".

    The Network

    All Let's look at setting up a map with all our locations (city is general enough) and our means of locomotion. I am trying to see if we can "member to member" transport things across country. Shipping being what it is, we might be able to do each other some favors. I for instance, can pick up...

    Deuce Hoist Units on GL

    I can do that. The problem is that most of us don't look at the transportation needs forum much. We all tend to stay in the area that interests us most, in my case, the deuce forums. So, how do we keep everyone involved?

    The Frog.

    OK, I can see painting over the unit markings. But the bridge plate? Nice looking truck. I really like the blue top, must be Air Force! Are you painting the truck to match?

    Siping tires

    I think Bandag Retreading used to hype up the siping bit. Haven't seen any ads for quite some time now.

    Surprise!

    Reminds me of the urban legend running around the RV circles. The guy finds someone puking his guts out by the motor home. Tried to siphon fuel, got the waste holding tank instead! I would have to kick the guy while he was down. "Gee, I'm sorry! But I have 2 deadly diseases that can be...

    mounting gauges

    If you use copper, wrap about 3 wraps around a 1.5-2" round object to make a small coil. Remove said round object. You need to do this where you go through the firewall of the truck. It acts as a vibration isolator to keep the copper line from work hardening and fracturing. You used to see this...

    Absolutely! With enough of us, we could even get one towbarred across country!

    bigger engine, and different tranny in deuce?

    Try the Cummins with the 6 speed. That would probably fill the hole in the 3-4 shift.

    Great pictures from The Netherlands

    I wonder if that mod was done on all deuces in the Netherlands, or if it was an owner mod?

    Do I detect a bit of antagonism here?
