It has been just over a year with no throttle-related issues. Until today.... But the good news is, I think it is fixed! I drove the Deuce just over an hour today to meet a few guys for lunch. About half way there, my throttle peddle began sticking. It only happened when the peddle was...

Finally, good news to report! The shop promised my truck back in one week but actually took two weeks to get it done. Not that it took two weeks to swap a transmission, they just did not budget time appropriately for their other jobs. So, I picked my truck up last week (Saturday, November 22...

Transmission Time And the saga continues... I just turned my Deuce into a shop for a transmission swap. Although it didn't go to Jeepsinker this time (wish it had), I'll continue posting in this thread. Back in July, I took my M35A2 out for a short drive. Once on the main road, I started...

Two days ago I changed the oil, oil filters and all three fuel filters. I believe this completes the mission, which I am calling a success!! To recap, my truck left home on March 9, 2016 headed to Jeepsinker with a rebuilt engine in the bed. The initial guess was a bad rod bearing (just...

I followed the suggestions that were posted and put another 100 plus miles on my Deuce this weekend. It ran well without any issues. I even noticed more power after 70 miles of running with Seafoam in the tank. I'll post a better description and more detail when I get a free minute.

I'm going to hit the throttle linkage with PB Blaster and add Seafoam to the fuel tank. How often do you use Seafoam (i.e., every fill-up or every few months)?

I actually took a pucker factor gauge along today just incase. As it turns out, my pucker factor measured 9.4381! rofl :driver: Yes, Sir. It was by the grace of God that I made it home safely!

I managed to make it home safely. On the trip home, my new engine tried to runaway... TWICE!! After reading below, please feel free to post with your conjecture and advice. While you are doing that, I'm going to remove the rest of the seat cushion from my backside. I drove roughly 200...

So far so good! Stopped for fuel, lunch and a fluid check/look over in Buna, TX.

It's time to bring her home!!! I picked up a rental car this evening and I'm headed to Jeepsinker's in the morning. The plan is to drive my truck home with archmark's M105 in tow. Somebody distract Murphy for me!

Yes, Sir. It is.

What, no audio clip to post???? Just kidding buddy! I really appreciate you getting me on the road before the rally!

Jeepsinker fired her up tonight and expects to be done tomorrow. I'm excited to say the least! I'm planning to drive her home on Thursday!

It looks like Jeepsinker has been busy >>>

That is so true. The day I met two.fiveM35 was the first time I saw a 939 series 5-Ton in person. Their size is very impressive. Here's a good picture of my truck (far right) next to his old 5-Ton >>

Motor Swap Update >> Jeepsinker started yesterday afternoon right before a thunderstorm and rain delay. I got to Jeepsinker's this morning and helped him a little before I had to return home. In the sort time I was there we managed to turn one truck into several pieces. The winch came off...

Thanks for the heads-up Mark! I didn't realize that fuzzy has a truck at Jeepsinker's and, as it turns out, a trailer too! I'll tow the M1101 trailer home with me tomorrow. If the timing works, fuzzy and I will pick up our trucks and convoy home next week.

Okay, its time to wake this thread up... 9 days to the Texas Rally and counting... Jeepsinker started on my truck this afternoon, and I went shopping on the way home from work. I picked up 8 gallons of coolant at NAPA (Fleet Charge SCA Precharged 50/50 Prediluted) and 6 gallons of John...

I figured you'll need more supplies like coolant too. I'll give you a shout this afternoon so we can make a plan to get you what you need.

Mark - I'll be at the Texas Rally, and I'm going to take you up on the offer to drive the Goat! :driver: Fuzzy also offered me a ride in his HEMTT. So, I hope to spend a little time in the Goat, a little time in the HEMTT and the rest of the weekend in my Deuce! If you get to College Station...
