I just went and picked up 280 gallons of free used motor oil from a local race car shop. I'm starting to collect it for my cross country drive in June with the Deuce. I figure from San Diego to Gainesville Fl will use a little under 400 gallons. I average 7.5 miles a gallon towing with the...

Awhile ago I posted about my steering box getting tight after I turned full lock to the left. Fast forward a few months. I left my Deuce with a friend at his shop to baby sit her for me while I am deployed overseas. Now the steering will not turn to the left at all. So the long and the short of...

Awhile back I bought a Dodge Tug for the engine for another project and kept the tank. I finally found a use for the tank yesterday. I needed a bigger fuel tank for a long drive coming up, so I improvised. It pulls from the outlet on the new tank and fills the main deuce tank using a nipple I...

The DMV in San Diego says in order to register my Deuce I need to have it SMOG checked. I know a lot of you guys have registered your Deuces here with out a SMOG check. What do I need to do to get out of a SMOG check. I told them that the law says 1998 or newer so my truck is exempt. They told...

Here is my problem. When I turn hard right "full lock or almost there" and then turn back straight the steering is very tight until I hit a few bumps or drive about 150 yards or so. Then it is loose again just like normal. It only does it when I either hit full lock or almost hit it while...

I have a 1983 GMC 1 ton dually with a 6.2 that needs a radiator and converted to 4x4. Can I use a radiator from a CUCV. Also can the front dana 60 be converted to a dually configuration by adding the dually spacers. I want to convert my truck to look like a CUCV. And does anyone have a radiator...

Going up hill at WOT the EGT reaches 900. At idle it's right under 300. She's bobbed and running 395's. Unless I have a tail wind or going down hill she only reaches 50 MPH indicated for a total of 55 MPH. I am thinking of turning up the fuel. I am seeking opinions on the subject. I figure...
