    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Are your LED headlights like these , except with an illuminated outer ring?

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I describe it as "is like operating a motorcycle. You have to be 100% in the game at all times. Or you'll splatter someone."

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I don't know that they ate them. But the mothballs certainly didn't deter an infestation. The only thing that has been effective so far is having holes too small for them to enter (genset).

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    The 🐀 things in AZ like mothballs. And peppermint. And please note that feline feces don't deter them in the slightest. Real snakes are welcome, as they're far preferable to the rat 🐀 things. The Badcat 🐈 caught one last time we were at the ranch and I had to rescue him from it. It was...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    It doesn't even take that level of effort. Freehand the black and brown splotches. The overspray you get makes the edges less abrupt and it looks better. It's really difficult to get wrong.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Overcharging. Badness. Should be adjustable, unless the voltage regulator has completely failed. I don't remember the adjustment procedure.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Your speedo should read 38/42 of actual speed. Mine reads 38/45.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Yeah, it's the same engine and transmission as the other M35A2s. The transfer case is the air shift variety. They didn't go to the Allison auto until they went with the Cat engine in the A3. The increased cruising speed is directly attributable to the 395's. First gear is low enough that the...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    It's an '87. One of the late AF trucks with the dual circuit brakes. White multifuel with the D turbo. Driving it about 550miles home, with a stop on the way to pick up a tcase for an 809series truck. Cruising at an indicated 48mph, which should be right about 60 actual. It'll go faster, but...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    A couple of years ago my buddy went to recover a stuck truck for an acquaintance. F150. He yanked on it in low range reverse and broke the output shaft on his deuce's transmission. His deuce went home on towbars and has sat ever since. This weekend we got the opportunity to swap out the broken...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    So today, the new owner, me, the truck, and the new airpack were all in the same place at the same time. It took about two hours to swap out the airpack at a very leisurely and careful pace. The new owner has been working his way through the lube order, and has added a battery cut off...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Mine crawled onto the gooseneck in preparation to go to its new home this week. It got some new brake line a couple of days ago. It has a NOS airpack on the way. I'm pressed for time, so the airpack is going to get delivered and installed at handoff. That'll make a good opportunity to go...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Why would you replace it with a bolt? Are you one of those guys who puts pennies in fuze boxes?

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I'm old and feeble. And thankfully we had allotted plenty of time. Honestly, I was *sore* the next day. I'm sure silverstate55 could probably have done it faster without my "help". But I learned a lot and feel confident that I would be competent to do it now. Which is a good thing...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Silverstate55 and I replaced the complete clutch assembly and rear main seal in Carnac's M35A2 a couple of weeks ago. This was a learning experience for me, as I had never done a clutch before. It was pretty much a 15 hour job, with both of us working on it. A piece of channel wedged from...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    It looks like muddy water ecause it contains a large amount of muddy water.... so did the primary fuel filter.... Tomorrow will get me a look into the rear diffs and the transmission and hopefully a good look at the wheel bearings. It's the wheel bearings I worry about. At least the diffs had...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Not my deuce, but I'm in the process of flipping hubs, mounting mrap rims and 395's, and changing out different fluids...
