A slipping clutch will can and will make shifting difficult, and I've heard of it only affecting certain gears, especially lower gears. One thing with the deuce is that it probably uses a sliding gear to access 1 and R, which might catch with some grinding, but won't let you hit 2nd because of...

So I was thinking about this build up last night as I went to sleep. That thing is actually going to be a very, very capable four wheeler.

Hi. http://denver.craigslist.org/car/149916830.html

Slick will be an intercooler, and maybe a little more humility with the fuel screw. I am having issues with EGT's... I can easily punch it into the 1200's and above.

x2 on the pics. A short movie wouldn't be out of place either. :)

Got some new pics.... sorry, taken right at dusk. http://www.planetbantz.com/imghost/bob/tires/ Honestly, I am not crazy about the way that the front got wider and "squatter" looking. I think part of the appeal of the front end is the "highboy" look, which the wider wheels sort of kill, and...

Super cool! "My Little Press Brake"!!!! Hilarious!

So, polvorone, the tires themselves (at 45") will boost your top speed from 60 to around 72. Think about it - they are 20 percent larger, so will allow you to go about 1/5 faster.

yeah, cat, with a 2800 loaded redline RPM. .695 transmission. 45ish" tires. I have a theoretical top speed of somewhere around 85.... Way too fast for anyone.

Tires are 315/80r22.5. What I need to do is take some front and side shots and post em. Wilco when time permits.

Bjorn, On flat concrete roads, my deuce is stable up to 70. The issue is rutted asphalt roads - chains are all but mandatory on the roads in question for a third of the year, and that takes a massive toll on the road surface. This is what really kills the deuce. Also, one thing I've found is...

when I got my deuce, my "mustache" spring was broken, so I just took some 16ga or something steel, and drilled out two holes the right bore and made a replacement strap. Worked like a charm.

Hey HRD... This is that idea I had to tighten up the rear duals.... to eliminate that slop! I think I'll cut some "anti slop" shims tonight and see what I can do with those. I need to be back home early to unload a Dana 60 I'll be shaving, so that's good stuff. Well, shims shouldn't be any...

Oh man, I love that set of photos, from that 5.9 that broke the block. What were those guys running, 100 PSI? Plus, you should be fine as long as you have: http://www.planetbantz.com/imghost/bob/TD-on-my-herc-block-enhance.jpg TD = Turbo block. :)

Hey guys, an update - these things ate up I70. I have negligible runout, but now, I have to figure out how to get some caster into the front axle. 0º "tractor Castor" kills this thing going 70 with radials. Bob

Putting a picture of one of the welded wheels up now... should have them mounted in a few hours. Bob

Can you smell the diff between oil and diesel smoke? There's a definite difference. Oil smells more "coked".

Ach, My reply got axed. I have the DXF's - you may need to trim the OD, but I'll pass em over. They're straight cut at .760 holes for lug nuts (not acorn seat), so that may be an issue as well if you want to run nuts in. I could care if the lugnuts score the rims (which they will, again, not...

Hey guys, I got my new wheel centers back from the waterjetters last night. I still have to locate them into the wheel shell and weld them, but I'm pretty close. http://www.colorado4x4.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=59843 Cheers Bob

FYI on the tire width.... my rear singles are 90.5" wide outside to outside, and the fronts are 78.5" outside to outside. I am aiming to remediate the front.
