Thanks guys, well looks like my plans for fixing the x-case handle have to be pushed back because I finally got the diesel mechanic job at Falcon Steel! Schweet, also means in the event I break something else I may have access to heavy equipment to fix Thunder :D Anyway, good point RL, I'm sure...

Coolies, lol, nothings ever finished, always another bolt to tighten and a leak to fix :-D I love my truck (has the addiction gotten worse since I haven't been able my deuce for 3 weeks?)

Thanks Gimp, I'll dig through my TMs and find it this week and I'll keep it in mind after I check for any issues on the greasy side of the truck :driver:

Will work on posting pics this weekend, as is, high is still fully engageable, the lever just really isnt where it should be, it use to butt up against the seat a bit, I'll be dropping the spare and peeking around (that 11.00x20 takes up all my crouch room!) this weekend. Any way for me to tell...

The 5 inches is a guestiment, the axle moved back till the rear dogbone of the front spring was flat against the frame, not sure if that's 5 inches

Okay, so when the axle shifted rearward about 5 inches it more than likely didn't do any damage? James

Thanks guys. Eric, the situation you describe is exactly what I did, is the drive shaft one that has adjustable length? I know some bigger shafts like the deuce are able to extend and shrink depending on application. The X-fer has never been removed, but I do know that everything moves on...

So I finally got the deuce back together, frame and leaf springs are firmly attached to each other again, steering box is now in (though I needs a bit of adjustment, maybe one flat on the screw). Took it for a test drive yesterday and found something a bit disturbing. I think my drivetrain, or...

Anyone know about what gauge wire to use when repairing the horn wire? mine got sliced open while re-inserting the steering gear into the box the other day, need to sodder in about 3-4 inches of new wire. and as usual (at least from what ive seen so far) the boots on each end of the wire are...

well, according to google, the motor home is still parked next to my step-fathers boat and my deuce does not exist

i bought some El cheapo pepboys cup holders, they just hang off of what ever you hook them to, works in the doo and the defrost vents. ive also used the air hose that connects the wiper motor to hang my travel mug before i bought these.....i still do it with the one mug, lol

apparently gimp still has fun on his side

6'5" -6'6" depending on who you ask, 150lbs, only issue i have is i have to cock my clutch leg sideways to start pushing, thats about it, kinda slouch so i can see out the windshield, but i make it comfy, ive driven close to a full 6-8 hrs in one day in it, not bad, but then again, im nuts. just...

lol, just remeber the deuce does loads better in the snow if you have chains on the tires, i learend that the hard way last week

Remember to keep a heavy blanket to throw over the cable, helps sometimes by making the cable dropp if it breaks, instead of taking off where ever it wants to go, dosnt always work though

working with juddspaintballs, i helpped him out with a part at the breakfast last month, so hes trying to give me a hand, he has a parts deuce, and i have a fre source of grade 8's to replace the rivits, thanks again guys, hardest thing will be R&R-ing the steering box, IP is in the way of a...

after further review, the rivets may have gave when i attempted to reverse up the hill under power, it didnt happen, though i heard a faint pop over the engine and my earplugs. but the tire is the only thing that hit the rail, no bumper, frame, or side. btw, the rivits are passenger side. thanks...

oh, and the wrecker hooked to me as well is there :D here is what i found the other day while surveying damage, i think this was pre-existing, though not sure when it happened, when i was under there 2 weeks ago doing fuel filters it was fine..... made a mistake, tree is in this set, and a...

well, as some of you may know, last week i had a bit of an accident in the deuce involving ice/snow covered pavement, and a guard rail. was comming around a turn at 25-30 mph, and the back end swung right, i counter steered too much and it came left and the drivers tire impacted the guard rail...

Ive been looking into one of these :D
