is there any downsides besides the noise that would hurt the engine? make less power?

I lost my air on the freeway once. The govener to the air-o-matic had came loose and was blowing at about 40psi. Lucky I am a large guy. I was towing a 8000lb trailer also. It slowed down just like i had air but it took alot more presure. Im not entirly sure someone who was smaller then me could...

Riding sleds is fun. My brother has a 1100 Turbo charged yamaha nitro. about 295hp. I rode it once. never again. we used to have a supercharged 550 Yamaha Phazer. That thing was scary too.

What I ment by lugging(probably not the right choice of words) is that I will let her idle in 3rd or 4th just giving it little blurps of fuel when I need to get back up the speed limit. Allows me to keep rolling and let her cool down( least i would think that would cool the turbo down, correct...

In oregon we arnt allowed to pump our own gas, Except at cardlock commerical fueling stations. They wont pump gas if the engine is running. If I know I'm going to the gas station or will have to stop for fuel soon. I will do my best to keep off the RPMs and try to lug her around at around...

Did you get new tubes or what did ya do.

i dont know why but there is something about that truck that just looks awsome.. Ontopic - Care to share the idea.

By that logic, tractor/trailers shouldnt be on the road. My uncles truck weighs in around 18000lbs empty. His max weight is 105,500. It is a dump truck so there is hardly any tongue weight. With a 4 axle pup the fully loaded the trailer weighs aprox 60,000. the truck weighs in around 45000. When...

go to napa buy a set of magnetic lights, replace the bulbs with 24v ones. lights for any trailer you ever have to tow.

The only time you should fear driving the deuce in the sand is when you drive down a steep hill and there isnt another way out. Also third gear lowrange is best for cruising, and if there are any long hill(not even steep) keep it around 2400-2500 in third. My truck cant push 4th gear lowrange...

I take mine in the sand about once every 1-3 months. Drop the front tires to 20lbs if there are any long hills or you are having trouble and you should have no issues. I drag a 8klb trailer and prob 2k worth of camping stuff+ wood in the truck and have no issues even in the soft stuff. Momentum...

I tow my landcruiser all the time. 8k lbs for truck + trailer. No trailer brakes. Never had an issue. Many 300+ mile trips, slow on hills, but other then that no issues. Been towing my cruiser with an M107 in the bed of my truck, the extra weight in the bed appears to have helped in braking as...

aI drive an Isuzu cab over boxvan about 100-200 miles a day. I love driving that thing. Great visability, turns on a dime. Durring the winter the engine keeps the seat nice and warm. Dont have a single complaint about the truck. I Like COE trucks, but I'd never try to turn a deuce into one.

got a turbo for a chevy vortec 350?

a deuce could have slowly dragged him out with out the destruction.

When I bought my truck from a private seller, all he had was a SF97 and GLs bill of sale to him. He wrote me a bill of sale, gave me the bill of sale from GL to him, and the SF97. I took it all to the DMV, had a clerk inspect the Vin, all in all it took me about 15 minutes from the time my...
