What you have is a typical Hop from most Twin axel trucks. Older trucks with Walking beam suspensions, especially. I have driven many Commercial trucks that do the same thing. Especially at speeds about 45mph to 52 mph. I assume it is the lack of Perfect Ballancing of not just tires but the...

Elvis, I shall check, one of my neighbors had one for sale a few months ago for $2500.00. I thought it was too much. I will see about it tomorrow. Phil

I haven't worked on a 6.2 in 20years. I did have a glo plug break and drop into cylinder. Had to change head. What would happen if engine was to be cranked, would the tip from glo plug get blown out of its area? Sounds too easy though!!!??? Good luck Phil

NK14zp, I like your avitar. Looks like you painted it up. Looking good!!

This is what I do with all my vehicles, Old Ones anyway. Take a Self drilling screw and a small O ring on the screw. Find the Lowest spot on fuel tank and screw it in. osen it to drain any Water, and Retighten it. Simplest way to remove water in tank, and save on your filtrs. Good luck. Phil

How old was the fuel, and just because it was Rebuilt, does not mean it was in good condition. Why did it need rebuilding in the first place??

Not so complicated to do. Just weld another frame section taken from a BOBED Deuce, about 4ft.,add single spring set up, but adjust it so Rear axel is UP when empty, and Down with load. No need for a Disconnect drive shaft. Watch for FUTURE pics.!!!???

You don't do any good putting Diesel in the intake. Gotta go through the injectors. That is where Black smoke is comming from . Could also bend a connecting rod if too much fuel . Crack the injector lines and bleed them. see if there is fuel comming out the last return line. Keep at it until you...

Why not take diameter measurements and get a Shorty muffler from parts store. I have in my garage a Muffler or Resonator, about 8 to 12inches long I was going to put on my Detroit diesel, but desided not too. Cost about $30.00.

Be sure all connections are good and clean and tight. Be sure both alt. are grounded good. Maybe alt. is not charging. Have someone else check it. I have an Alt. that is Over charging. Maybe we can Swap!!?? I shall change mine tomorow. One set of Batts. have been coocked already. Good thing I...

sounds like all is working. As long as you have more than 12 volts, all should be OK. Run it for a while and see if voltage stays up, or does it drop below 12 volts. Good luck, Phil

I would try some new Diesel, add diesel conditioner, and be sure air passages are clear. Timing is difficult . I am assuming this is a Deuce, or a M1008, regardless, same diff. Clean fuel filters and air cleaner. Be sure to check all Duct work, in case some Critter built a home in the Duct.
