I’ll be taking them to a shop in Tampa to get a larger shops opinion.

Well…. The radiator shop called and said he can’t fix either core, so I guess I’ll need to try one of those new cores out. I know the cores are pretty basic, but does anyone have a military radiator expert that may be able to work some magic on 2 heater cores?

Being in Florida, I’ve only used the heat once. I verified my NOS core is leaking so 2 cores to the rad shop tomorrow, then I’ll have a spare. Has anyone used the new heater cores I’ve seen online? They look slightly upgraded. Heater Core Upgraded?

Today's update: I removed heater core from the truck and applied permatex sealant between the petcock and the core. I rinsed the outside of the core off and refilled with coolant and water. I'm going to let it sit overnight in an upright position and see if I get any leaks. I'm going to...

I didnt see a leak at the bleeder, but tomorrow I will remove the top cover on the heater core housing and idle the truck so I can see exactly where it may be seeping from.

The clamps are pretty tight, but I will definitely check. I didn’t see any coolant near the stubs, only in the bottom of the box. here is the spec on the hose I used. 5/8 Inner diameter (epdm, 95psi rated) Gates Green Stripe Heavy-Duty Heater Hose

My heater core looked like it started leaking so I replaced the entire blower / heater core with NOS as the blower wasn’t working anyway. I also replaced the hoses and clamps. Started the truck and it looks like the NOS unit from 1985 is leaking too. Is there any other problem that could...

Primary Fuel Filter with Correct Gasket If you buy the filter at Napa it will not come with the correct gasket. You need the WIX 5131 gasket.

Have you check the tie rod / tie rod ends for excessive movement? I replaced my ends which helped wobble at increased speeds. Steering at slower speed also feels much better now too.

I have had luck removing cleaning and reconnecting lines, I’ve learned not to go too tight or they leak from the start.

We have property in the Pacific Northwest and I will be taking Deuce 2 out there so want to be able to start in the negative temp range. Deuce 1 has its flame heater deleted as it will live in Florida, speaking of flame heater, I was sold this replacement spark plug with a different part...

More work on Deuce 2… Replaced 6 fuel injectors, new copper washers and new rubber injector seals Replaced fuel Injector return line to include all new fittings Replaced primary fuel filter Replaced fuel tank to primary filter head hose Replaced hose from primary fuel filter head to injection...

Finally finished a large serving on Deuce 2 to include: 6 new inner hub seals 4 new outer axle seals 2 new front axle tube seals 6 new axle lock washers 6 new brake cylinders and associated banjo bolts, washers, etc. All new rubber brake lines 4 new hard lines on front and center axle Power...

I could not get the ends off the rod, tried larger pipe wrench, heat, multiple sprays banging with a hammer to break loose some rust…. No luck. I ordered a heavy duty tie rod from Boyce and used NOS tie rod ends. I’ll play with getting the ends off the old tie rod when I have some extra time...

I’ve removed the tie rod end from the knuckle. I’m not able to get the tie rod end to budge using a 14 inch pipe wrench. I can try some heat.
