    I have a Slow Leak in a tire, and I thought I would check it out!! I did have to remove the Govenor Cover on Trans and I found this convenient at the time. I did check out everything underneath and all is GOOD!!

    Bobbed Deuce, the concept & performance

    I have bobed 1 deuce for a customer. I think it went well. First of all, do you need 10tires and wheels for what U are going to do? Then you actually lighten the weight, shorten the wheel base for better turning radius, and yes it rides much better and more effecient. You can Single it or keep...

    Tell me what I'm supposed to hear

    RE: Tell me what I galeo7171, These 6.2 diesels are Loud! I bet if you check the Wing nuts on your air cleaner, they are loose. That would make a Barrel noise on top of engine. Also note after engine Warms up a while, it gets quieter. Just keep clean diesel and clean engine oil and it will keep...

    Deuce Tips and Tricks

    This goes with Recovery4x4. It is hard to turn Bolt on Prim. filtrer. Take it off the frame, and by slightly bending fuel line, you can move filter back on frame by 4-6 ins.Drill holes for bolts to frame. This exposes Bolt and nut , easier to Change filter, it is not under Alt. . Phil

    Bobbed Deuce

    One more thing I do is use the Plates that hold the Torque rods in place . I use these under Diff. To put U-bolts throuhg. Use the with {OR} as Center Bolts. I would use Springs from a 21/2 ton trl. Much heavier and Bigger loads. I do understand most guys don't use Truck for work, so don't need...

    Bobbed Deuce

    I have done 1 bob Deuce. The way I will do my next one is to Cut Frame ahead of Boegies and behind it. Do not have to deal with Rivets. That is what is Time consuming and aggrivating. I cut exactly 36ins from my frame. So if you measure ahead of Boegies and behind, you have plenty to play...

    U Bolt size for BoB

    I was wondering if anyone noticed any Axel Twist when using M105 springs, without the use of Torque rods. It may be OK if no amount of weight is carried, but with any weight there could be considerable twisting of axel and not so good on U-joints. Phil

    Heat and Hubs?? Pics!!!!!

    Most simple and thorough inspection. Chock the truck so it does not roll in Neutral and with E brake off. Jack up a wheel, pull just the axel, see if there is greese on the outer bearing. If there is, most likely the inner BR. is OK. If dry, Pull bearings and inspect and Re- pack. Check for...

    M1009 Electrical Woes: starting issue

    If you tried starting it with Low Batts. you have mare than likely Cooked the starter. From Day # 1, the all must have Good Batts. Between Glo plugs and Starter turning, there must be gooa AMPS. Even CIVY 6.2 have had this going on. Many times the starter will continue to Crank even when you...

    It more than likely Over rev, and possibly OUT of Ballance{Loose Flywheel}
