Getting everything together so I can drive the deuce around town now. My question is do you FL MV'ers know if Ill need a CDL or any kind of add-on to my regular DL? If I don't I want a print-out that prove sit to keep in my glove box. Just making sure I cover all the bases. Also, it is...

Hey guy's, I'd like to get my horn working again. It's an old style and has a metal bell type piece that I think completes a cirtuit when pushed against a metal plate to fire the horns. Looks like one of the three rubber hold-downs is broke so there's no point in fixing the old style. I've seen...

Hey guy's, it seems the oil leak on the side of my engine is getting worse. At first I thought it's the head gasket. If it were leaking would there be coolant in the oil for sure if the oil was leaking down the block? I'm going to get the next oil change analyzed to check for that and other...

After those huge rain storms rolled through here in central FL last night, one of my pastures has a big pond now. When I woke up I saw it and threw on some boots and went out to take some pics. I alway's loved seeing things in water with the reflection. When I got out there I was suprised to...

Hey guy's, my deuce is having it's period or something. There's an air valve of some sort under the hood right near the top of the firewall and more on the passangers side. It's clicking 3-4 times per second and releasing air and it's driving me absolutely insane, what's the fix? Thanks! -Kelly

Here are some pics I got today with a tripod and 10-sec timer. Hard to tell the size of the tank just by driving by it, but it dwarfs the deuce. Merry Christmas -Kelly

Hey guy's. Here's a few pics of my deuce with some Christmas lights on it I've had on since late November. I'm going into town to take some pics next to a lit up tank as well tomorrow evening, so expect those tomorrow. -Kelly

Well, here it goes. Lot's of pictures to post and lot's of info to remember while I type it up. After I brought my truck home I noticed the inner clamps on both front steering knuckle boots had come loose and the bottom of the boots was full of fluid. So my plan was to replace the inner axle...

Hey guy's, doing the boots and seals on my front axle. Truck is on my concrete pad between my 2 sheds. I didn't think of this earlier and when I was about to pull the brake shoes it dawned on me. As I stood up and felt the shed behind me I wandered if, when I get to the point of pulling the...

My charge meter hasn't worked since I got the truck. I decided to take it out of the dash today and put a load meter on the connector to see if there's a charge coming though, I know the generator works because the batteries havn't died. Any-who... Is there only supposed to be one connection...

Come to find out all of my speedo problems trace to the adapter. the cable has big kink but is fine and does not need to be replaced. What is totally shot is the adapter out of the t-case. The thing is totally seized up and I was wandering if anyone has a spare they'd be willing to sell or if...

Speedo hasn't worked in years according to the mileage on an oil change sticker dated year 2000 exactly 3k miles over the mileage read off the speedo. So today I decided to troubleshoot the problem. I was suspecting a broken speedo cable or gauge itself. You can spin the coupler on the back of...

Hey guy's. This stuff is everywhere now. I had to put the first tank in my '05 6.0 powerstroke diesel tonight, of course I added several oz of lucas upper cylinder lube with the talk of lower lubricity of the ULSD. Question is, how is this new fuel for the Deuce? Being a multifuel I know it'll...

While under my deuce adjusting the e-brake and attempting to take out the slack on the brake pedal until I noticed you have to take the pin out of the linkage and rotate the linkage itself and gave up there for the sake of time, I noticed something wrong with my axle boots up front. I am still...

Well, after a week of work when I had time the truck is finally done to where I could bring it home. The new exhaust, and C turbo is installed and runs awesome. The dropside bed is on and functions great. It has some low spots between the supports from weight but overall it's in good shape. The...

Hey guy's. There is several surface rust spots on my dropside bed on my deuce that I need to get taken care of. The front of the tailgate is solid surface rust and a few other areas. The integrity of the metal under the rust seems good still and I want to keep it that way before it gets worse. I...

Hey guy's. The guy I'm buying my deuce from offered if I help him swap beds we'll put a dropside bed on my truck which has a straight side now. My bed is in great shape with very minor rust and very straight. The dropside bed is a great feature I would use but it has a bit of surface rust on the...

Hey Bjorn, I remembered you wrote an article for MV Magazine about a turbo conversion. Later this week I'm planning on removing all the old N/A exhaust and putting the turbo and new clean air kit on. Was there anything difficult about the install or anything you ran into? Looks like I might need...

Hey guy's, got a generic diesel engine question for yall. 3 cyl. John Deere 1020 engine refuses to run longer than a few seconds. Starts up great and slowly dies out. It sounds to me like it's running out of fuel pressure to where the injectors quit firing. The IP was rebuilt under 50 hours ago...

Hey guy's, a few of you know I finally purchased a '68 M35A2. I have yet to post pictures but I just went over there and took some as well as run it some more and drive it around to see if I can find any leaks. I'm still waiting on the exhaust to get here for the turbo conversion and I need new...
