    Doesn't DOT 5 normally come in deuces?

    I just read a post from a couple years ago how to test what kind of brake fluid you have and that DOT 5 is not always purple or can change color from use and age. I'm going to test mine because I need to bleed the brakes... my question is have any of you seen DOT 5 in a color other than purple...

    Engine block cracked

    So I drive the Deuce about 200 miles yesterday, get home and while tracking down an oil trail (thinking it was the loose dipstick), I find a 4 " trail of coolant about an inch forward of the data plate on the right side of the block. I don't have a pic of it, but it's in the middle of solid...

I only hear the...

    Anyone know what this place is?

I found it on Google Earth trying to confirm what I saw. Looks like the have trucks, UH-1's and other helicopters, maybe a pair of OV-1s...

    Using Jet- A

    I'm trying some jet fuel in my Deuce. I can get Jet-A from work, waste fuel drained from aircraft. It's not waste because of contamination, just because the FAA won't let us put it back in once it's been taken out. One of the guys runs it in his '04 F-250. He mixes 1 QT Marvel Mystery Oil to 40...
