Guys i am new to the 900 series trucks, new to the point i dont even have the truck yet. Our fire department has three deuces with custom built beds for fire fighting. I took some measurements to see if the truck we are getting would work with the bed, length is a problem, but we have that...

thanks guys, I will look at both options, and yes the pump is original, it simply had the return port pluged with junk from sitting. this caused the pump to build back pressure and hydro lock the plungers. The gen was a 1986 that was rebuilt in 2005 with a whole 2.5 hourrs on it when it was...

the zombies are coming, I messed up and the had injection pump fixed, did not time before removal, do I line up the PC mark on the flywheel and the timming pin on the pump? also I know I can be off 180 so #1 needs to be on the compression stroke? right? help me Im gonna get into the beer soon If...

I will post some pics, I dont have a dilution problem, these passages are specific to engine oil only, they have been leaking for a long time just need to be fixed.

Guys I need some advice. I have 2 deuces that have injection pump leaks. the first leak is the govener spring cap on the rear. can I replace the gasket without removing the pump, and how far will the spring fly out? the next is the Quill shaft cover (laying on the ground looking up at the bottom...

you guys are aware that boyce equipment makes fiberglass hoods for the 800 series trucks and glass tops also ?

dont forget about the throttle linkage arm and all that stuff!

only about 190 miles in 1 year, it is 1 of three brush trucks on our FD, oh and it would help if I were looking at the right truck, this one has not had the FDC bypassed, took 20 mins and did it, we will start there. sometimes my head is in a dark and stinky place.

I need to remove the gear pump on the injection pump (the one that boosts pressure) and put a new gasket behind it, it appears to be leaking, there are 4 screws and two bolts- if i remove the two bolts will the whole assembly clear the steering box ? I already removed the shut off cover to make...

no i did not, can you be more specific, remove the cover, turn on pump and I am looking for fuel dripping into this area-which leads to the crank case? correct?

I have been looking for hours!! I have a deuce that is making oil, 4.5 % fuel on my oil sample report. the FDC is by passed and I have no flame heater. this leaves the Hydraulic head o-rings and possibly the gear pump, can somebody explain to me how the gear pump can allow fuel in the oil. also...

got mine at memphis equipment, it consists of side pieces and end pieces, I dont know if there is anything else out there or not.

guy's Ihave a simple question, I need to replace the pan gasket on a deuce, it looks as if there is plenty of room to pull the pan from underneath and get it out, is this correct? anything else to know or check for while im there? thanks!!

thanks for the help!!!!
