Man I wish I could get a pump for that cheap. The resistor is 2 ohms between the plug and fuse block. The resistor was in the truck when I got it. The new pump I got didn't have it so I just put it in there because I figured it was supposed to be there. I'm not sure the exact reason why it's...

Listen to the differance in the turbo as well, especially if it's a whistler. When you first start the truck and there's no oil pressure, which is normal on the MF, you'll hear the oil pressure build up in the turbo and it sounds like the turbine is slowing down. If at idle you turbo sounds like...

The tank is around 3/4 full right now. I'm confident the pump was fully submerged. I just went out with the flashlight and tested the voltage from the wire just before it goes down into the tank after the fuse to ground and it's 24V+ so the pump is fried. Man this is aggrivating...

Should leaving the switch on all night have killed the pump. Could the batteries slowly dieing down until the pump couldn't run anymore have harmed it? Seems like a premature failure.

Hey guy's, replaced my in-tank fuel pump with a new unit from a surplus supplier for like $380 last year. I accidentally left my acc. switch on the other night after I was sumping the primary filter bowl. I woke up the next morning and went out to start the truck to notice the switch was still...

I use Baldwin filters. They supply several different gaskets with the filter and from what I remember I can use most of them except fo rmaybe the primary filter by the frame. I ordered a M96T gasket from John Deere as I get lots of parts from them anyways. I can't remember exactly what it was...

I'm sure this has already been thought of. But, check the oil supply lines to the turbo. Especially the return hose from the turbo to the pan, those can degrade over time and become an issue. I'd love to hear an engine run that is blowing by oil in fluid form at that rate. That would be CRAZY...

Hey guy's. I compete at the national level in precision and freestyle aerobatics with giant scale aerobatic airplanes. Been flying R/C airplanes since I was 8 years old and variants of the aerobatic B-29 have been around for years. That is Mac Hodges of Andersonville, GA and Hodges Hobbies. He's...

For those of you I spoke with in the chat room last night about my batteries being possible bad. Well after charging all night I installed them and flipped on the acc switch. Right away I noticed the battery gauge was already in the yellow, I figured I'd try to crank it anyways. I hit the button...

I guess the first place to look for the draw may be the alternator. I'll check out the TM and trouble shoot it via the manual. If it's not the alternator I wouldn't really know where to start expect maybe testing the acc switch and 3-lever switch as well. Not many things that it could be, I'm...

http://www.jcwhitney.com/wcsstore/jcwhitney/images/imagecache/G_16122G_CL_1.jpg Deuces is draining it's batteries over a week, just started doing that. I'm guessing maye the diodes in the alternator are bad or something which is causing the current draw. That switch is rated to 500A burst and...

An F-350 would be better than a ranger, lol! Some of yall may remember that thread. I know Kenny does.

When I bought my deuce it was a N/A and I installed a C-turbo with a clean air kit. I drove it for over a year before I reset the timing. The truck runs just fine that way but if u'r going to be towing alot or driving the truck very hard I would reset the timing. To do this you'll need to pull...

The only mustang made from composites were the 3/4 scale Thunder Mustangs. That's what you probably saw at the Osh and/or Sun-N-Fun. It's powered by a Falconer V-12 and actually outperforms the full size mustang. Really the only place you see them now is at Reno unless you see a privately owner...

Cool to see someone else in the r/c hobby on this forum. I've been flying r/c for 16 years (23 now) and giant scale aerobatics for about 5 now. I compete in the Unlimited class in IMAC and dabble a bit in helicopters when I've got some spare cash. Hoping to get a new 42% Extra 300 on the board...

I'm about 30 min deuce driving distance from the grounds on 441/301 in Ocala. I'm outside putting some parts back on the truck now and will be driving to the grounds Saturday. I heard there is a trail ride, where is that going to be? my truck is going to be the ugliest there but it has...

Hey guy's. I'm in Ocala at the time with my deuce and I've been seeing alot of MV's on the back of low boy's cruising around the past day or two. I'm getting my deuce ready for an event at the Market of Marion flea market, is anyone from the board attending? They say there's a trail ride and...

I am quickly skimming some post's and came across this one. I didn't read every word so I don't know if I'm repeating or not but there's a couple good tips on driving the deuce that I know have been covered on SS but maybe not in this thread. If you really insist on downshifting pop it into...

Hey guy's. I just got home for the weekend to take a break from training for the new job up in Atlanta (3 months long) and decided to drive the deuce around a little. I went to check the in-tank fuel pump and didn't hear anything. I thought, OH GREAT, either the pump is dead or batteries are...
