    Fuel in oil? cause

    hole in a piston or rings. when mine did this (hole in piston), i lost a motor (main bearings and rod bearings) because the oil finally got so thin that it was no longer lubricating. OUCH in my defense, i bought it that way and was within 10 miles of home on a 120 mile recovery. i slowly...

    Brakes, all or nothing??

    the answer is..........if you loose one from loss of fluid, you loose them all. i have never lost them on my duece, but i have lost them on a pro street dragster, and it causes a real "butt pucker" situation. a very good reason to make sure that the e-brake works. btw, the fred flinstone method...

    Bad idea for a non-grease monkey to get a deuce?

    No body mentioned this, but make sure that you have a few strong friends who will help you when you need help, there are some parts on dueces that are pretty hard (and dangerous) to move around when you are alone. i am a pretty good gas mechanic, but had never worked on a diesel before, the...

    Just Picked Up the M816 Wrecker!

    joe, try or borrow a more agressive charger, the trickle charger did nothing, neither did the 40 amp a$$ kick charge, we even tried a round at 200 amps. it was the maintenence free 2 amp that kicked mine into happiness.

    Iraq Looks Into Buying 36 Fighting Falcons

    make them buy them through gl like everyone else, that way gl will take their money in advance and vannessa will screw up their paperwork (like everyone else) and then they will have their account suspended (like everyone else) and will have to provide a new credit card AND pay the penalty. LIKE...

    What do you want changed about GL?

    reps that return calls and e-mails "customer service" reps that return calls and e-mails in my recent case, like 1 minute of the reps precious time would have saved 5 refilling outs of the form. in the end i had to do "whatever it took". which will greatly confuse the titleing and...
