No problem, glad it helped you out! My airpack is now venting air into the overflow tube or "slobber tube" in the engine compartment so I now have to take out and rebuild again. Oh well such is life with an old deuce, wouldn't change it for anything!����
The moving wall came to Carmel NY a few weeks ago, it was funny as I was driving the deuce to Home Depot and the caravan of bikes and police and army past me, it was quite the scene. I wish I had video of it. Here are some pics of the wall at the Veterans Memorial Park along with some of the...
I wouldn't chance any brake leak. It's a single stage system so one leak could mean no brakes period. If you know there is a leak then fix it ASAP and don't drive it till it's fixed. Just too risky in my opinion.
metalworker, sounds like you have the same issue I had. My old signal box flashed very fast or not at all. When I installed a new one it just shorted out the breaker, somewhere behind the dash, I think it was in the three lever switch. After a minute or so it resets, again the same thing as...
Ditto on what Jeepsinker said. If you don't care about the free fuel aspect of a multi fuel and just want a big huge truck go for a 5 ton, you'll already have a bigger motor which is what you want anyway. However I would buy the Deuce and fix it up and then sell it and use the profit to buy a...
Don't think 10.7 volts will do it. Sounds like the same problem I had as listed above. Get a $15 generic solenoid and that should do it. PM me if you want and I'll give you a call on how to wire it up. It's pretty easy
Took the Deuce to meet the Conway truck that had my Bendpak lift on it. Used a generator and an electric winch to get it on the back.. it was 1600 pounds shipping weight.. now to finish up the install
Bought Jatonka's oil filter spin on adaptor kit at the Sussex show on Sat and installed it on Sunday. Also finally hooked up my Key'd battery cut-off switch that only took like 15 min to do. Don't know why I waited so long on either of these upgrades..
I loved the show again, my third year and it keeps getting bigger each year. I quietly rolled my 395 tire and rim (300#) down to my truck. If you saw someone doing that.. it was me. The only complaint I could think of was when I wanted to purchase from a vendor who was not standing by his...
It scares me to see this kind of an accident. I just hope that we never have a really bad one happen with loss of life that makes politicians want to kill our hobby. If he did infact buy the truck 3 hours earlier and never drove one of these before that could have something to do with it. I...
Can't wait for the show again, this will be my 3rd year now.. Eventually want to take the Deuce one year and camp out with my son.. waiting for the stars to align on that one. Birthday parties and a baseball game killing it this year..
Did you check the voltage going to the starter? I don't know CUCV's but a similar situation with my 68 Firebird was getting low voltage, sometimes it would start 12V and other times a clunk or click, 8-10V. I wired up a generic solenoid to always get 12V and my problem was fixed. Not sure if...
Thanks cranetruck, it is a weird situation but when I tried mounting it normally I was getting some sparks as the case of the unit was getting electrified and I was grounding it at the same time. I'll check the voltage for "B" and see if anything looks weird. All I know is now it works perfectly.
