Hey, where were you with the helpful suggestions when that top came off the deuce on the freeway in San Antonio? :shock:

people have reported putting 395s on stock deuce rims... surely 12.5s would fit...

Thanks. I'm more interesting in something that will help me put a clip-on chuck on the outers, tho. Maybe a flexible extension that will clip onto one of the holes in the rim so the valve is now pointing parallel to the wheel?

Good thread. Question: What could one use to extend and change the direction of the OUTER tire's valve stem? My setup is that I've got a regulator at the cab air supply and I just set my air hose with the clip on chuck on the stem and walk away. That's not hard to do with the inners as-is...

I hope the seal on that jerry can was good...

oof. 2200 max engine rpm in a deuce would give you a max road speed of 49-50 mph

What's the max safe engine speed for a cummins 5.9?

GVWR is defined as weight plus capacity. Not weight plus load. A deuce has a GVWR of something like 23k pounds. Empty or full, doesn't matter.

I don't live in Pennsylvania... however, I believe many, if not most, of the States have the same rules regarding Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and combined gvwr limits. At least in Texas, the deuce by itself does not meet the minimum GVWR of 26k for a CDL. The truck has an on-road rating of 10k...

Wired her up with 5 amp fuse at the battery, switch, and 5k ohm pot. It works! For mounting, I think I'm going to use my cnc to cut mounting positions for the pot and the switch in a piece of plywood and then bolt that to the tub where there's already a hole. The diagram on the pot was...

That I do not know. I just swapped the unit that bolts to the dash. That was the valve that was causing my issue.

Not true. If the engine is capable of turning faster (which the LDS is) without blowing up, it will be able to turn the wheels faster. LDS has a max safe engine speed of 2800? rpm Deuce is 2500. That would make the max safe road speed 62.8 mph @ 2800 engine rpm 60 mph would be 2676 engine...

I want to see you and your deuce drag race someone else in their deuce. :grin:

You said 8 hours to charge... is that at 110V or 220V?

Just think of all the batteries you could fit in the bed...

Another option for a cheap, but powerful motor would be to buy an old used treadmill and gear it down to get your torque/speed requirement right. surpluscenter.com also has alot of good, inexpensive motors.

Welcome to the party! I have a surfeit of deuces and am looking to sell one. I'm about 3 hours south of Austin. Also, there's an excellent MVPA chapter in Austin. Their biggest event is coming up soon (Vet's day parade Nov 11). Several of their members are on this board.

Justin Wehring makes some nice deuce wheels.

Well, according to the "operator" cartoon, you're supposed to idle it above 700 lest vibrations shake loose any fasteners.

you the same wood butcher that drove to the Hun farm one year?
