Keep up the good work. I foresee some patch welding on mine. I have a 120/240v stick welder. What do you mean by backer strip or the washer method. What gauge steel are these panels?

I have dreamed of those tires for mine since I got my Deuce. Maybe in 10 years...rofl

To confirm what I understand: In order to bypass FDC (without adjusting fuel) an EGT is required since the FDC does not work anymore?

Hey fellow Tim, I forgot about another recent purchase, a Monroe shock 66903, since the passenger side it totally shot from my ancient spare with flat spots. This and the tire needs to be done next week so I can take a large load of trash to the dump from my recent basement job and torn down...

I still can't believe how expensive these still are... for a chunk of milled aluminium. I don't doubt the quality of them though.

I bought: -New inner tube and flap -1/4" NPT plug to block off the flame heater -New slobber tube hose

Looks like fun, not work to me!

WOW, You're very productive! I've had mine for ~8 years and haven't done 1/2 of your "To Do List"... :ROFLMAO: Maybe I should retire 30 years early...

Bump

Update: I am now insured with Hagerty at $155/yr and called to tell them there is no enclosure. It was really easy. This may vary from state to state I guess. Limits are 2,500 mi/year. No problem there, since I think I have less than 2,000 miles in 5 years.

I also have to switch from Gulfway. What a shame, it was so easy and pretty cheap. Who garages their 2.5 and 5 tons? Aside from here who have farms/barns? That's crazy. I will check prices and report back.

Hauled home lumber from home Depot to rebuild my shed. Sent from my LG-LS993 using Tapatalk

Get the correct wrenches for the compressor pulley. Real easy, it splits in half...you'll see. I paid $20 on ebay for mine 2 months ago. Be careful to loosen all the bolts for the generator when removing those belts. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks! I appreciate that. It will settle any thoughts of doubting the condition of seals and bearings. I'm going try the gold zipper kit and brake cylinder rebuild kits.

Nice find! Big project, but would be cool. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My old zipper boots, which were probably installed in 1989 when the truck was updated, are shot. Been cracked since i got the truck in 2013. Never submerged axles in water or driven in snow to avoid potential rust. I read the StepXstep front end service thread. At this point should i expect to...

Great job guys! If one were to add a front electric winch, where would i get bumper extensions?

Thanks. I was going for about 1/2" deflection. Thanks

Replaced the belts. Generator belts were toasted. Not a job working on the deuce without a bloody knuckle... Very easy with the air compressor wrenches. Not sure how tight to make the belts. My laptop is down so cant see TMs

Mine did the same when I changed from the old pleated paper .gov style to the Metal covered Wix from NAPA. I was thinking its high because there are not many perforations in that outer steel part, restricting oil flow??? It still does reads high to this day, when its warmed up it does lower some.
