I watched the Mythbusters episode on fuel mileage. It was all about gasoline engines. They proved acetone does nothing to gasoline engines. This thread is about diesel engines and that acetone promotes a better atomization in diesel engines thus provideing a better burn and better fuel...

I just drove 1800 miles with my wife and my cat towing a m105 and all my stuff. When I looked at the cost of renting a U haul or buying a deuce, I went with the deuce. I had some bad luck at the begining and swapped the trans and engine (thanks again FMJ). My truck and trailer are currently...

I just drove 1800 miles in my truck with my wife and cat. I had plans for two air seats out of semis $75 each, but I felt too close to the steering wheel with the air ride on my side. The seats were too tall and I have to do some mods to get mine in. I am goin go take the headrest off so I...

The truck is quiet. Hector the cat was fine. He doesn't like riding in cars, but I told him to calm down and it won't go any faster unless he gets out and pushes. He just laid on the floor until we stopped. When we stopped he would get out and use the restroom then get back in when he...

Here is the long awaited picture of the custom seat and carpeting. I think Ed is currently doing the same mod to his truck. I have an airseat for the drivers side, but I have to cut the top off so I can get it further back. I did not want to be sitting right up against the steering wheel.

Ed post the ones you have. I will take some later. I have been kinda busy. Make sure you get the old lady's air seat. It is a good mod. Any married man should do it. If they want to stay married when they get there.

After leaving the 4,000 to 5,400 altitudes, the pyro is running a lot lower 150 to 200 degrees. The truck is heavy. It was weighed at 19,920 with a half full trailer and the truck empty. I finished loading the trailer and the truck is full. I would guess the truck is 22k or more at the...

When I weighed the deuce empty with the trailer half full, to make sure I wasn't overloading the trailer, it was 19,920 lbs. The trailer was half full not including the press, chery picker, or the tools. I added a bunch more stuff to the trailer and loaded the truck. I didn't weigh it, but it...

Here are some of the pictures. I will put more once I can get my computer working here. The cat was fine. He was scared, but settled down on the floor. The wife was fine she had a semitruck airseat. I put two layers of insulation and one layer of carpet on the floor and firewall. The back...

We made it. We went over 800 miles today. We are tired. I will post some pics tomorrow. Everything went well. The truck ran great. It is running about 150 to 200 degrees cooler at the lower altitude on the pyro. I guess I answered my question about too much fuel. It was too much...

We are at a hotel in Amarillo. So far it is running well. The pyro is 1100 when the RPM is at 2000 or above, but 1800 to 2000 it will hit 1200 and I have to get out of the gas. I try not to load the motor under 1800. I will have to read up on the drop screw adjustment later. Here are some...

Ed you promised me that you sold me a good motor, and I would get to Ohio under my own power. Good luck cutting wood. I have a chainsaw somewhere in the back. If I see you I will give you hand.

We are moving to Ohio. We are going to go to my parent's house in Mantua, then to Port Clinton where we will be living. The guy with the Dodge shipped my other vehicles. We will be alone in the deuce. It is packed full. I took the cover off the trailer today to fit a bit more on top...

MPG p5 El Paso, Texas to Mantua, Ohio My wife and I are leaving tomorrow on our road trip. It is just under 1,800 miles. The truck is showing 24,479.2 miles and 622.1 hours. The engine has 205 hours less than the guage and the speedo reads 10% slow. My wife's side has an air seat, but mine...

I flat tow my Toyota (to the left) or put it in the bed on a regular basis depending on how far I am going and if I am running asphalt or sand. It is nice to have the cover on and AC and shade during the hot race days. I have 8" axles so your bronco might be too wide to fit in the bed. I run...

I don't what size of air dryer is need, but this is what I came up with on short notice. I am moving and should have left a few days ago, so I am behind schedule and don't have time to make it pretty. It is a few spare parts I found in the garage while packing. I will let you know if it works.

I have the JT ones too. I just have bad luck. I got some bad filters and my gaskets leaked. JT, as far as I know, isn't on the QC line of NAPA filters. That is the cost of doing buisness. I fixed the problem and now can't be happier. The quality of the adapters is great, and I have...

I had to take both of mine off and retorque/overtorque them. I used the gaskets that came with the kit. One right after I put them on and one a few days later. They always seemed to ooze a little bit of oil until I replaced the gaskets with rubber ones. Once I put the rubber ones on they...

There are some trucks in MI that have 100k miles and 10k hours. Don't want to break the rules, but I am sure you can search for them. My deuce is currently my daily driver. My wife is driving a borrowed CUCV. We are currently negotiating a price, so I don't think I can post a pic either. I...

I just checked the extra one I have in the garage and it is 8' from the plug that goes to the deuce to the connectors at the front of the bed. The glad hands are 7'.
