After using the truck for a shelf for the last 5 years, I finally swapped in a new multifuel. It wouldn't start, so I checked the fuel shut off. It was stuck. After freeing it up, I tried to start it again. It is stuck wide open. I was able to shut it down in less than a second, but it...

Capt Pat I drove the 1008 home and got my other truck to pick it up. This engine was most likely overheated before, because the oil cooler had a hole in it. I should have it going soon.

Yep...I was worried the first two days, but my worries lessened the closer I got to hope. If I didn't drive so much down south it might have let go in my driveway, but its home now. I might take the sister in law and wife out east to eat some blue crabs, and pick up an engine next weekend. I...

I can swap the engine in a day. I need to get everything finished so I can perch fish late summer. Also I got 7.7 mpg before it broke. i'm going to pick up a pull out soon and hope it will last a few years untill I can swap the 12v in the garage.

Here is what came out of the oil today. Some pieces were metal and some were more paintlike or varnishy. They broke up when I touched them. I think I am going to put another multi in it for now. I will be building a pole barn this summer and have four paint jobs to do. Two will require a...

You are welcome anytime. If you make it up here before my sister in law leaves, you can get some tamales, menudo, y enchiladas. And probably some pedos too.

I found some somewhere and they are on the trailer. I was going to paint the stack black, but since I didn't I might move them to the front wheels. I got the new twin hammer HF 3/4 impact. I could take three nuts off before the compresser needed to catch up. It uses a lot less air than the...

Here are two more. The neighbor lady drove by when I was on the street and she didn't wave.

I made it. I'm tired. The radials would not track straight, so I had to put some NDTs on the front. Those big tires are heavy. They also don't fit on the spare tire holder either. I put one there and tied it up with a strap. The other one I put in the bed. I used a strap, a high lift...

I am glad you like the chrome lugnuts Ed. Its not your truck anymore so ride your universal deuce tool. Can you send me my dice? I miss them. It might be a few years until I get back down your way. The wife's mustang is a 10.5:1 347 ci 302 Ford based engine. It should run as good as a ford...

I have to take the pyro off the dead one and put it on the good one. I should have taken it off when I was waiting for the wrecker. His 15 to 20 minutes didn't seem to match my watch. Here is what the 1008 looks like with the new wheels on it. The left side is okay, but it has a brand new...

Here are a few pics that my sister in law took along the way. The last pic is where it decided it was done for the day. I am glad I was towing an excape pod. I was keeping the truck between 2200 and 2300 for most of the trip. I reved it to 2350 to 2400 on 75. I am glad it made it this...

There was a fellow member who stopped to see if I was okay. I forgot to ask his name, but wanted to say thanks. The 1008 got stuck in my driveway too bc it has bald tires.

The shop doesn't open until Monday. I am going to get everything ready tomorrow and then go get it with the other truck. Man am I tired. Last time the deuce had some weight in it, so it didn't bounce so much. If you want to help Monday I'll pick you up on the way. I stopped at the rest...

I should be at 70 75 tomorrow. Last time I made the trip, I stayed in joppa, Missouri. I am not as heavy this time, so im hoping to get past St Louis today.

I am driving from Las Cruces to Ohio again. I did the same trip four years ago. Work sent me back a year later and I bought another deuce and later a 1008. They have been sitting for a few years, but now they are headed home. I made it to Elk City, Oklahoma today. So far all is well. I...
