    Anyone ever use an oil/water temp sensor to turn off oil/block heaters?

    The idea would also be to avoid boiling the coolant.. If you found a switch that turned off at a low temp, less than 200 degrees. Good choice would be a common 12V automotive one of the kind that turns electric fans on and off. A relay or contactor with a 12V coil could be used to control...

    Pyrometers

    I put a resistor in series with the 12V lamp's power lead. I do not recall the value. It works fine. Find the lamp type, then the voltage and current. 1. multiply the voltage by the current. then double it. That, (or no less than 75% of that), is the safe wattage rating for the resistor. 2...

    Ever Seen a crew cab M35 on 16.00 20's and a B cummins??

    The nicest thing that comes to mind about a crewcab is the ability to move the drivers seats back a few inches, since the thing is going to be lengthened anyway.

    Deuce donuts with vid :-)

    Real men are not embarrased to eat quiche. Those that feel emasculated by this dish can avoid suspicious and embarrassing situations by wearing rugged attire and pretending not to know what it is while making remarks like "This pie tastes good. Never had this before." rofl

    Deuce Super Camper

    it has a bathroom. Mine has a bin full of empty gatorade bottles. That has to be worth $175K. Seriously it is too tall for my taste. I prefer to keep things under 13FT due to clearances of bridges here and there. That is why there is no radar on mine.

    Gazing into a crystal ball.........

    I use mine for stuff. The only thing not reversible is the deadbolt lock in the drivers side door. As far as souping up, I am not sure turning up the fuel really counts since no performance-increasing parts were added. It would be easy to remove all the useful additions and have a stock truck...

    Worth 10k USD?

    Better get the correct insurance too. There are alot of ways a shipper, broker, loading crew, or even the ship's captain can wriggle out of liability on the slightest pretense, including making -you- pay for salvage/rescue operations on -their- ship and your own cargo due to their own...

    Did you have little kittycat hearing protection for them? The noise must have drove kitty nuts. Hmm.. need to invent cat earmuffs. I bet my cats, any one of them, would have emptied themselves pretty quick on a deuce ride.
