Ah, very good. Not sure how I missed that. Thanks.

So I replaced all the fuel filters over the weekend. Bled the system and tightened the little bleed screw between secondary and final fuel filters too tight and it snapped off. I have looked at all the main surplus sites and cannot find this part. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Also...

Well I got them adjusted to spec. I had to do the opposite of what the TM said. I had to adjust the top of the shoe first, then move to the bottom. Then I went back and forth until both were in spec.

OK this could have something to do with it. When looking at the bottom adjuster it had a "dot" indicator on one side. This was at 3 o'clock initially. When I started I checked the gap at the bottom first. It was out of spec, the gap was too close. To get to spec I had to adjust the bottom...

I am shooting the temp gun directly at the brake drum from under the truck near the inside of the wheel. The hub temps are fine.

Hey all, I need some help with brake adjustments. One of my drums is running hot. A little while ago I singled out my truck.

Happy to report we made the 200 mile trip home without incident. The truck ran great the whole way. The weather was PERFECT. Forgot to take some in route shots but snapped a few after we got home. All in all couldn't have asked for a better maiden voyage.

Hello all, new here. Have been lurking around for awhile trying to absorb as much info as possible. This Saturday (5/17) I will be going to pick up a new to me deuce. I will be making the trip back with it from Concord NC to Wilmington NC. I am purchasing from a SS member. I have already looked...
