Yeah mine runs good now too but I think I can go more on the fuel..... I'm going to look into that cable idea.... you could use a locking throttle cable for it.....

Yeah you gotta bypass the fdc and turn the fuel up a little. Driving to work this morning I was watch my gauges and just tuning easy I was pushing 10 psi of boost. I'll see if I can get a video after work.

So i quick wired the cab lights. When I did the parking light with headlights mod I put a connector in right away and just plugged into that. Also a picture of the gauge lights. They look more white in the picture but they are still pretty red not as much as the factory gauges though. They do...

Thanks..... trying to get little things done. In the next week or so the bed is going to pafarmer and then the front end is coming off to do all the cooling hoses and 12v Alternator and all the belts plus I have to get the radiator fixed as well. After that the cab is getting cut and the...

No I'm bobbing the truck.... Got a few things done today but it's too cold out and I missed the flyers kicking the penguins ass yesterday so I wanted to watch it again today lol I drilled a hole in the middle of the heater controls and mounted the switch in there. I had to cut and extend the...

They would work with new centers but I'm not paying $600 for wheel centers. I was going to put the centers out of the deuce rims but they are to small. So I'd have to cut the centers even smaller and weld them into the opening of the fmtv wheel which I don't know if I like that. Now the wheel...

I am working on a set of fmtv wheels but Idk if they are going to work right now I'm debating on doing the hub flip in the center and cutting up a few more wheels to make the stock wheels 9 or 10 inches wide. The problem I have with running these older tires and I have seen it before is half the...

Well I understand what your saying but I don't think it posts a safety hazard. I've done truck tires for years and seen far stuff worse then this on the highway. If you seen the prior posts I am working on 10" rims. As far as lift I will address this later on but I don't think I'll need...

My boost is pegging a 15 psi boost gauge pulling a long grade and around 1100° on the pyro. My fdc is bypassed but I think the fuel was bumped up prior to me.

So i didn't do much to the deuce today.... I had to work on my jeep.... but that doesn't mean I didn't get to play with the deuce. I used it to run air tools to put the brakes on the jeep.... worked great.... Also test fitted the 14.00r20.... it fits but does rub the steering arm and the fender...

Yeah you'll get used to it.... a lot of purists here which I respect but I'm not the type to leave anything alone it's my truck and I want it my way like no one elses. It does suck with the neighborhood deal.... I have a lot of yuppies on my street and one already tried taking me to the...

So Idk if the fmtv wheel option is going to work. I think I might just go his route and buy tubes. I read a lot of threads on this subject saying it shouldn't be done and so on..... and yes technically it shouldn't.... In the jeep world we did this all the time.... we called it the poor man's...

This thread. His truck is bobbed. I'm thinking about doing this too but Idk yet. I will be doing the extended cab like his though. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?81163-Extended-Cab-Duece-(photos) go Into his profile and check out his albums some very good pictures.

Yes there is but they are a lot of money and I want my wheels to stick out farther.

Yeah i want to be different and considering I got these wheels with the tires I'm going to use them since they will be done for almost free. Should look good when done

Got a few more little things done on the truck tonight. This 60° is awesome and loving the time change. Just came in the house. Anyway I got the passenger side marker wired up and repaired some bad wires on the harness where the lights plug. I also made a bar out of angle aluminum and mounted 2...

Yeah I'll take it sending pm now

Yeah same here Idk if my fdc was bad it ran ok but now is way better. I dumped in 15 or so gallons of hydraulic fluid in last week and the truck ran like crap.... would barely get to 55 and I thought great this multifuel idea was bad and now I'm stuck with 200 some gallons of oil. I know the...

Hey no problem!!! Always good to learn something.... Well I didn't do much today time change is messing with me.... Anyway the fuel and stuff I did yesterday did help a little on the cold starting..... it was about 35° outside this morning and it took about a minute to get it started. Atleast I...

I like the deuces better.... I don't really care for the 5 tins except maybe the 900 series trucks. I'm a long way out from another mv. I have a lot I want to do to my deuce and it's probably going to take a year or more to get it the way I want it with lockers and winches on and on. This year's...
