I was debating that today and figured that was the best way to go with engine removal. Are you going to remove tranny and engine as one unit or are you going to drop the tranny down and just remove engine.

Looks like red devil is going to have his out before me, if you do let me know how it went. I removed the tach cable, air lines from compressor today, after waking up that is, those 3 days 12hrs weekends are going to kill me for sure, anyways looks like im down to the fuel lines now and the...

was under the deuce this afternoon found the recondition tag on the airpak dated 8/87 at *CSMS* anyone know what the csms stands for by chance, im in hopes of finding out just where this truck came from and has been in its life. Bjorn remember we were discussing the heater, yours under the hood...

I will do my best, unfortunatly i won't have any pictures do to not having a digital camera but after doing a engine swap i will be able to give anyone else information on the to do's and not to do's...

Thanks guys, i appreciate that info.... as always the info is priceless

I have seen Bjorn's set up very simple and practical. and at the rate of fuel its going to be very useful especially in the deuce. I was talking with my dad today after he came back from town, the service station nearest to me diesel is 2.31 a gallon/ farm fuel 1.95... He told my dad that by...

I was wondering about a air hose hookup when i get this thing to rolling again, does it take a standard size airhose and do you hook it up in the back where the rear airline hookups are for trailers when you need to use air tools? Bjorn i noticed you had your air impact in the truck and hose the...

thanks AJG for the info, the front bolts through the bottom of the block on the drivers side, does one need to remove the steering box to get at those it looked mighty tight in there to me, the reason being im in the process of replacing engines and the old one is coming out very soon due to...

I would expect 2 healthy guys should do the job, one on each end, just MAKE SURE you lift with your legs if not you will know it really quick. Alot of pple hurt themselves by forgetting that one simple rule. Good Luck

If i had a digital camera i could show you, its kinda like the old V8 gas engines using the bolt and chain method, Im guessing that is what those 2 things are for on that tranny, Oh by the way is there a plate or something i can take loose to check the gears in the tranny, I didn't see one one...

Okay here is the information as i have these in mind for my deuce, wheel chocks are okay but these babies should work wonderful. Go to this site: www.genosgarage.com look under towing Accessories they are called ROTOCHOK... I am a member of the www.turbodieselregister.com site and Geno's is...

Do you have access to pet rattlesnakes that will keep the neighborhood hooligans out of the cab. You can use wheel chocks, or a piece of 12x12, or 6x6. I have also seen wheel locks that fit between the duals and they use pressure against each wheel to lock them. Hang tight and i think i know...

thats what i was unclear of until yesterday and i was looking at how the tranny and the floor layed and thought that maybe that was how it had to go. Yeah there are what apprears to be 2 anchors to use bolts through and lift the tranny with on those corners i mentioned...

Okay first off, after returning from Bjorn's yesterday evening i decided to do some more work on the deuce, i removed the tranny floor cover, i noticed what looked like 2 lifting points on the tranny one was on the drivers side left corner and the other passenger side right rear corner, are...

I agree with the truck nutz they have them here, in my opinion there sort of on the stupid side but thats my opinion. I have lived in these mountains all my life i really get a kick out of pple moving in from other area's and them trying to fit in, especially the younger crowd, those are the...

Recovery you read my mind on the tranny, thats what i had planned to do to get the tranny out. Bjorn I will let you know if i need the assistance of that magnificent beast of yours, the offer is greatly appreciated, and as for the take out radiator you have if you have a way of pressure testing...

That was my thinking also, the less weight i have to deal with moving all at once the better, even if that means i have to seperate tranny and engine. Thanks Mangus [thumbzup]

Maccus i had a brain storm about the tranny by going through one of the doors, so that would be no problem there, but where the deuce is parked is not on pavement or concrete but dirt ground, would I still be able to move the engine hoist after lifting the engine out or would backing the truck...

I knew about the powerpack replacement but well i figured it would give me more room to work and not mess up the radiator beyond repair, plus it gave me a sense of satisfaction today doing that by myself. Im no green horn when it comes to mechanic work but something this big is a slow go, one...

I thought thats what i was seeing but wasn't sure, thanks a bunch Recovery... You know you got it bad when you get upset when it gets dark out and can't work anymore on the deuce.. Recovery how hard it is to pull that as a unit? about the only way i have of getting it out of their is with a...
