I agree. You expressed your opinion, I expressed mine. My opinion is that it is safe for me to run my Michelin radials faster than 50 miles per hour under certain conditions. No sense in arguing about it. It's just an opinion. For example, Highway 50 in Nevada. I doubt any dire consequences...

It is the SS Law! 1. Search 2. Revive appropriate thread of choice. I make fun of the SS Search Nazis, but actually I agree with them. Since this forum is slanted towards technical information, we should respect that and not start a thread with a question without looking first. Search Tip...

Tire Speed Ratings on tires are load related. If you load the 395s or 15.5s to the full weight they are rated to carry, run them down a desert highway when it is 120 degrees out, which can mean an actual surface temperature of over 150 degrees, then you had best stick to the maximum speed rating...

Carquest has the 3" socket. You need one to service the front wheel bearings anyway.

Just got back from a 4 day trip in Esmerelda. 4 hour trip down I-5 on New Years Eve in a downpour. I learned a few things! The 13" blades don't hit the window frame when the wiper arm is adjusted properly. All you have to do is telescope the wiper arm in and it won't hit. Much better coverage...

^Great Idea :idea:^ Thanks! I have several of those tubs around, use them for all kinds of things. Exactly! For you Old Timers who have been there and done that, please remember that 1. There are new members to the site all the time, and that they might need or want to discuss a subject that...

I went through the ^same^ effort with similar results. Tuesday after calling Napa and Carquest only to be told the parts were no longer available, I called Baxter Auto Parts in Portland. They cross referenced the numbers and had the Anco 41-01 Wiper Arm Anco 31-13 13" Wiper Blade In stock...

I figured to avoid that trend too so I bought a cheap license plate light and replaced the bulb with a 24v one. Works fine.

Thanks for the great ideas fellas. I am sure with a combination of them I will get the screws out. I tried an impact screwdriver and all it did was trash the slot, even with a tight fitting bit. I just don't get why they are so stuck in there. The window frames are newer, and the ends of the...

I bought replacement windshields but cannot get the screws that attach the support arms to the windshield to turn. Has anyone successfully dealt with this before? The screw heads want to strip and just won't budge.

Since I don't always have the luxury of a MonBack, I set a chock block to come against carefully.

I could tell you but the Search Enthusiasts and Purists would attack and kill us both :wink:. The Deuce forum is for Purists who won't even drill a hole in their deuce unless it is recommended in the TM. Deuce Modification and Hot Rodding is where you will find out how to do the naughty bits...

I had Oregon truck plates for the first year on my deuce and it was $532 a year for license and about $90 a month for $1,000,000 in coverage from Progressive. I just switched to Special Interest plate, $81 one time fee, and Safeco insured me for $84 per year. I read the policy carefully. I...

After turning up the fuel one turn, the first thing I noticed was that I didn't have to apply throttle when starting out in first gear. The truck was much more difficult to drive without the extra power. The pyrometer is a must. I was surprised at how fast the EGT goes up when pulling a hill...

I know a guy who pulled the multifuel out of his 5-Ton when he replaced it with a Cat motor and the motor is sitting in Bend at the mechanic's shop. He offered to give it to me. Might still be there. Only thing wrong with it was a couple of plugged injectors. If you think it will fit and want...

I bought one from HF and it is a must carry in the truck. One time a hundred miles from home I stopped for a safety check and found one front hub at 145 deg. The others were around 100. In 50 miles the temp on that hub got up to 245 deg. Without the IR thermometer I wouldn't have known that...

Has anyone had a liability claim paid by Hagerty or Gulfway? Writing a policy is one thing but paying on it is another sometimes.

I love the propane torch in the intake idea. Much better than a flaming rag soaked in diesel like I learned on the farm as a kid. I already use the torch to light cigars so always have one handy. Bet a weed burner in the intake would work Really Good :-D

Yes, his name was Colin. Same guy. Thanks. I was wondering how you would license a truck that size. Is that a sleeper on the back? Is that why it is able to be licensed as an RV? [start hijack] I did not link to an auction, I vaguely mentioned that some trucks were up for sale. I did not say...

BTW, for those who want an M920, and unlike me can afford one right now, there are three of them [edit: nothing to see here folks, move along].
