    Deuce horn blows on its own

    Correct me if I am wrong (I know you will) but isn't the horn a backwards wired item? The horn should be hot all the time and the horn button grounds it.

    Cb question

    Sounds like a potential grounding/line noise issue. I would first look at where the ground for the 12v radio is. Ground it to the battery not the frame, the same for the hot wire. I run all of my radios to the battery if possible. I think your issue is a interference issue, this might clear it...

    The Deuce is Dead...

    Read the -10 and check to see if the generator is charging the batteries. I believe the voltage should be 27.5 volts (guesstimite) the -10 has it. Make sure the system is charging. Electrical gremlins suck!

    Setup for deep snow?

    Remember this, Lockers are good in mud and snow, but BAD on ice and can cause loss of control. Also, take a second vehicle with you and keep proper supplies on board so that WHEN you get stuck, youcan get out or have enough supplies on hand to wait it out. Just like motorcycles, (gone down...

    Primary spin on fuel filter question

    Bad fuel pump as stated above. I was thinking about adding a "back fill" line for faster startups and situations like this. Have soldier B stand by the tank when you throw the master switch. Start with the fuze and then the pump. Mine took less than 1 min after I bled the ENTIRE system and...

    cb radio install need some ideas

    HAMS also jealously guard their bands.... The license is easy, go to QRZ.com take the practice exam several times, take the FCC test and do it right. It is not worth the possibility of a problem no matter how small. HAMS routinely use directional finding antennas and do track down wayward...

    Pulling with winch

    +1 on the snatch block, very handy and makes winch winding go much more uniform. I don't have a W/W but have used smaller ones. it also, i think, provides a little buffer in case of a broken cable, but I still put an old moving blanket on the line.

    How did you guys drive home? documentation?

    Ditto..... In Florida you can get up to a 30 day temp tag from the DMV. I got mine from a SS member and went directly to DMV with the bill of sale and signed title and did the transfer and got a tag before I drove home. I had insurance on it prior to the pick-up.
