Well, I doubt the ladies hereabouts had roaring testosterone. :rofl:

A few years ago, a deuce wasn't worth more than a few bucks a ton. In our younger years, with roaring testosterone, who of us wouldn't have loved to drive over a car in an outrageous truck? Who of us find ourselves grimace when you hear your chassis rattle over a nasty pothole? And how many...

I had the same problem. Emergency brake was the culprit.

Alas, the tires spin like they're on ... well... bearings. No brake grab or drag to be had ANYWHERE. Sounds like I'm back to the "not making smoke" train of thought. Gotta get those fuel pressure tester fittings but it sure does shoot fuel past the final on just the lift pump. Anyone...

Good point on the brakes. I new I read it elsewhere and thought "that's an each check". Thanks for the update!

Hey Scootertrs, did you ever find the culprit? I have the same exact issue. Originally, it only happened sporadically however now it's always in this "low power" state. I've done all of the things I can find except tearing the pump down to look at the governor and centrifugal advance.

I have the michelin XL 11x20s and they are a nice addition. Better top end (about 65) but I have learned that over 55 on anything but the smoothest highways is still a stretch from a stability perspective. Rear end bounces sideways on moderate bumps/holes. My 2cents

Sweet looking mod! Can't wait to hear about ride quality.

You sir are correct. I knew it was junked up when I bought it so it's not a surprise. I wonder myself. The maintenance records show them driven only about 400 miles a year for 20 years. I suppose they never truly emptied the tanks for the most part and it just turned to tar. When...

THe primary was in there. That's the one pictured. So, thanks for the good advice. I'm going after the tank this weekend! I'll update everyone of the progress.

Having problems with fuel flow on warmup. It idled fine until I gave it some juice after warmup. Runs fine down the road but any extended idling time caused the same problem. If I left the lift pump running for about a minute, it would fire up and drive fine. I suppose the lift pump couldn't...

Ditto. So I guess even though I removed the vent, chances are the seals are blown. Hello grease, good by knuckles. :eek:

Much thanks!

I got it on ebay actually. Seems like it was about $20 with shipping. I think it's one of the guys on here but I'm not positive. I'll PM the details.

I recently replaced my brake light switch as well, but I only lost a couple of drops as I quickly covered the port with my finger before screwing in the new switch. Yes, you gotta be pretty quick to not let a lot dribble out but it IS a pretty tiny hole.

I am in the process of replacing mine and my 5/8 bolts had rubber or neoprene gaskets in them. Not at all like the standard gasket material gaskets that came with my filters. So I think I still have the top gaskets that came with the kits and you're welcome to them if you want to pm your...

I told my insurance company (I already own a medium duty truck) that it is a 1987 AM General flatbed truck, 23k gvwr. about 400 a year with no restrictions. The tag office, I went "former military vehicle" for about $50 for 5 years. No tags necessary which obviously varies by state. I'm...

Have you posted pics anywhere m16ty???

I too contemplated such an arrangement Most RV type roof units I've looked at require about 3000 or so watts @ 120vac and kick out 13000 BTU. If you can find a significantly smaller DC unit say 4000 BTU, I would expect it would pull about 80-90 amps at 12vdc thus 40-45 24vdc. The Deuce...

Wow, that's not bad for your first time I would suspect. My rears are all leak free so far. I have both front inners leaking. I'm hoping it's just a plugged up vent but won't know till I get under there. If the vent is clear, I'll be researching a bunch myself and ordering seals and boots...
