    Starter question

    If it's a reman or aftermarket parts store starter, the replacement solenoids often (not always) have the voltage stamped into them.

    primary fuel filter part # cross

    That's about right. It is the wrong part, but it's one that is very easily and commercially available to most of us without mail order. It's easy enough to keep it fairly straight as you install it, and it still functions just fine if not quite as convenient for the two minutes it takes to...

    we got tunes!

    This won't help with belly clearance, but helps a bit with arm clearance.

    truck end of the trailer brake glad hands-standar or special?

    I'm not sure the dates, but polarized glad hands are a lot newer than standardized glad hands, even though they all follow the same basic pattern.

    Finished the great headlight flip

    I don't even care what you did. If a few more people would just consider this variable as an actual factor in their purchase... Reflect on the fact that this might influence them in some way today and down the road, we'd all be a lot better off. I had a similar dilemma adding a heater to my...

    Axle Flange Gasket or Sealant

    From experience on medium duty (deuce sized) civvy trucks- Paper gaskets are fine. Permatex by it's self is fine. Permatex on a paper gasket leaks. Universall gasket material leaks. Permatex on universal gasket material leaks. It's an easy seal. Anything that leaks from it does so because the...

    Does anybody even have a land line anymore?

    When I tell people I don't have a cell phone as often as not I get Yeah right, what's your number, or that raised eyebrow like "yeah right, if you don't want to give out your number just say so..."

    truck end of the trailer brake glad hands-standar or special?

    Just as much pressure, but not as much volume due to a smaller line size. Still probably less restrictive than the schrader valve in your tire. A standard air line coupler can be installed here. It should be the "coupler" and not the "nipple" so it works with your regular air hose. Due to...

    truck end of the trailer brake glad hands-standar or special?

    I don't want to disagree with this exactly... It should be 100 percent correct. On a lot of compliant (SAE J318 ) connectors where a ton of money has been saved by reducing the amount of metal that is included, the "interference fit" between the pin and the ear has been so badly reduced that...

    fighting trans install need help

    Many times when I get a stubborn one, I find it helpful to get it close, then use threaded rod or LONG bolts to place in two opposing bell housing bolt holes. That kind of keeps the front in place so that as you move the back by hand to line it up, the front stays in place. Beyond that, good...

    Blown exaust gasket

    They look straight forward to change. Make sure you verify your leak though. I thought mine were leaking, but the leak was the elbow exiting the turbo. Carbon and soot all over the intake manifold... Without carefully selected backlighting, (i.e. installed in the truck) the pipe looked good...

    Winch band brake question

    The drum is actually very clean and very smooth underneath of the band. I've come up with two possibilities so far. Option A is that the band simply is too tight because it hasn't been broken in. By it's condition, that's a possibility. This winch has been in my possession for some time, but...

    Winch band brake question

    I am sorry as well, I was looking forward to it but the opportunity left as soon as it arose.:cry: If it's not work, it's the truck, and if it's not the truck it's work again... I can't get out of that place for anything. Hopefully there will be a "next year"... I've got the purpose of the...

    white star after WWII

    I can not speak for any other stencil whatsoever, but I found Rick Larsen's to be quite satisfactory, as well as Rick being very helpful in the process.

    Winch band brake question

    It seems that my worm brake is getting crazy hot in a very short period of operation... So like any good redneck, I took it all apart... Nothing appears wrong, so then I went to the manual.... According to 9-2320-209-34-2-3 it was not installed correctly before I took it apart. So I put it...

    Cover for a deuce?

    Regrettably, I don't have a picture... I've got a canvass for the back that fits, but doesn't really match. I set that up, and keep lots of the deuce related "paraphernalia" in the back of the truck so I can have room in the basement when I can't take my projects outside. Then I put a second...

    Exaust Brake

    You are quite right, 99 percent of those signs are about noise, and the intention was to limit the use of loud engine brakes. A lot of towns got sued when they put up "no jake brake" signs... The people who make Jacobs engine brakes didn't really like having their entire product line (including...

    Bobbed truck, Shocks or Not?

    There are lots of larger trucks that don't use shocks in the rear. There is enough "spring" in the pack that it's movement per pound is not comparable to a front spring, and there is much higher friction in the leaf spring to eliminate the need. By virtue of their being there, it's safe to...

    Installing a winch system?

    The "drive" is the "PTO". Power Take Off. Six bolts will remove the rectangular cover, and by peeking under there you can see where it'll be prudent to have the transmission oil drained before you remove the cover... The PTO it's self will bolt to the same bolt holes as the cover plate...
