    Headlight Problem

    I have noticed that bulbs can "dim" over time. A new bulb is always brighter than an old headlight. Usually its not a Huge difference, just some times more noticable.

    Installing door locks

    I picked up a keyed-alike set of locking handles for a local RV place. I think they were under 20$. I did have to shorten the shaft and move the screw holes a little further apart. They were black, I painted the handles OD. I really enjoy being able to lock the cab.

    Injured Elbow?

    Ok, I have only had my Deuce for 6 months, but I have probably hit my elbow on the door a couple of times, when turning. I am thinking I may want to upholstry the inside top of the door, so when I slam my elbow into the door, i will not hurt my elbow. Any one else have this happen? Solutions...

    Running oil in a Deuce?

    perhaps it will not be a problem. But I have had problems before, pulling a blind cover off something. They go on easy, but sometimes hard to get off.

    Running oil in a Deuce?

    Ok, here is my thought. If I release the Lock-ring, can I start the engine to push the end cap off? Of course i would have a catch device, to catch all parts. Thoughts?

    Running oil in a Deuce?

    Hey Panshark, can you remove the end piece of the heater injector, on the engine? Or do I have to remove it? I am sure I can remove the retain ring, but not sure if the end cap (with the O-ring) can be removed on the truck. Thanks Randy

    Zerex ELC Coolant

    What does it look like? I have had my Deuce for about 6 mo. It has the lime green stuff, so it look like standard Anti-freeze. How do I tell what I have? Oh, is there a big difference, between the regular and Diesel anti-freeze? (sorry if I sound stupid)

    spin on fuel filters

    I just replaced my primary fuel filter (Jatonka) on Saturday. I wanted to be able and replace it "on the road" if needed. It wasn't hard, but would be more than I would like to do in the case of a breakdown. Hopefully I will never find out. It looks like a well made piece, that gives me comfort...

The state tax dept asked that I write (not E-mail) the tax commision and they would look into it, then get back to me. Arrg! How can they make this so hard? I want to give...
