Andy3, about 5000 miles in the 4 years.

My heads and piston after about 4 years on WMO blends.

m16ty when loaded can your deuce lock up the wheels? My understanding, and maybe its not true, is that most modern trucks, with the excption of antilock systems etc.., have powerful enough brakes to lock the wheels when fully loaded. Also, Im not suggesting we need to go skidding around...

m-35tom I would totally agree that the single system is not safe and plan to split my system, but aside from that issue, I think the safety of increasing line pressure is debatable. If I am not mistaken I believe a hydroboost system will achieve around 2000psi line pressure. According to my...

Everything on my brake system is either new or rebuilt with the exception of the hard lines, hardware, and the shoes. The shoes are by no means brand new, but they are also not worn out or oil soaked. I have not drove that many of these trucks for comparison, but I would not say my brakes...

JasonS was there also not much difference in terms of the force required at the pedal? I don't doubt your observation, I'm just trying to consider all angles. On my truck I measured the pedal input force versus brake line pressure using a scale on the pedal and pressure gauge on a brake line...

The M35 brakes are a nonservo style brake or a leading-trailing brake. The brake shoes on a leading –trailing brake are mounted independently, each shoe with its own anchor point at the bottom and the wheel cylinder at the top. A servo style brake uses one anchor point for both shoes and is...

Perhaps the shoes would wear a bit faster, but I don't know that for sure, and for the average deuce driver I don't think you would notice any difference. I would say 99% of people driving these trucks just don't drive it enough to be concerned about the rate of wear between an FF vs. GG brake...

In this thread yeager1 asked about relining brake shoes with a higher than stock friction compound. Has anyone tried this? The code on the side of my brake shoes say they are made from a friction compound with a rating of FF, meaning that the coefficient of friction is between 0.35 and 0.45...

Enlarge the picture of #3566 (Not the exact one you want, but it has a better pic) and you will see where you can put a clamp around the base of it, or there are also two bolt holes that run parallel to the resevoir. You can make a bracket to bolt through those holes.

I installed a Wilwood reservoir but mine constantly leaked where the reservoir connects to the base. Not sure why they designed it as 2 pieces. I switched to this one and have had better luck. https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=1119

I was thinking something like this from Northerntool. High Pressure Hydraulic Clutch Pump — 2.32Cu In. | Pumps | Northern Tool + Equipment

I was thinking that the belt driven pump would be better because you could have the clutch in or out, you could be in our out of gear, and as long as the motor is running you have power.

Yea, the electric clutch is what I was thinking. I would like to see where and how others mounted it on their multifuel. Seems like this setup would be more versatile than a PTO pump.

Thanks, but I mean on a multifuel.
