I like that statement of yours ( when the lights go out, press the on button on your computer 10,000 times and see if it helps) Thats priceless !!!! I've said for decades now, that you need physical copies of all your important documents and books. That is why I have hundreds of military...

Never hurts to ask :) .

What he said 👆 . Also remember the MultiFuel is running 22:1 compression. That in itself is enough to blow head gaskets that are not properly held down. The compression range of a normal Diesel engine is between 14:1 to 22:1 . That means the MultiFuel engine is at the max limit of compression...

Yes, there are 4 ring (old style) and 3 ring (new style) pistons. Do not mix them though ! They have different weights and would put your engine out of balance.

No, your right.

If the pistons had not already been rejected I would have reused them. The pitting didn't go near the edges that I could see, and the lands I assume were Ok. As far as loosing it's hardness, Aluminum is a funny metal. It's not like steel which if overheated can lose its hardness. It's more a...

The "C" turbo and "D" turbo have almost identical specs. They are both "low" pressure turbos barely making 8-15 PSI. They were only used to help meet the EPA emissions standards. The original "Non" turbo Multifuels could really "roll coal" . The turbos helped clean them up a bit. Now to really...

I really don't see any advantage to going this route. My "AirForce" deuce with the dual master cylinder and dual airpacks works great. The master cylinder is still available for purchase and the airpacks are still rebuildable. Now you can just keep the dual master cylinder and go with a more...

No one manufactured any "special" parts for the Spicer 3052/3053 transmission. You can send the gears out yourself and have them "Nitrided" and or "Cryo" dipped. If you do go this route, I would buy new gears to do it to.

Yes. Basically you were melting the piston tops at that point.

If you use a softer media you can clean out the ring lands too. I've done this on really dirty hardened sludge ground into the ring lands.

I take it there is an "adversarial" attitude towards the State Patrol on the East Coast then. Out here in Washington State we look open the State Patrol as a good thing to have around. They can be a pain when your caught speeding on the Freeway ! , but in general we like them. They do provide...

The main problem with a "Hydro-Vac" is the lack of vacuum in a Diesel engine. Yes you can add a "vacuum" compressor as Chevrolet did on the early diesel engined vehicles, but it is expensive and not nearly as efficient as the Deuces "airpaks" are. Plus your now trying to add this vacuum pump to...

There are several factors you need to consider before discounting using valve seals. One, the military didn't use them as the life expectancy for the deuce was considered in weeks not years. Let's face it, the Deuce was a "throw-away" truck. Anyone can see this by the "Spartan" way it was...

That would work well. The longer springs would give you a much smoother ride, and the air bags would help support the weight.

Yes it's me.

I think you wouldn't like the results. The ride would be terrible. Just add a leaf to the deuce spring pack.

I understand all the worry about modifying brake systems. The world we live in today is very litigious. That being said, if you use common sense and quality brake parts I don't see a problem. I'm not talking about using quality parts and then just "spot welding" the brackets on sort of thing...

The machine shop should be able to machine down the guide to except the valve seal. It should clear the springs just fine. There pretty small.

The ones I have seen where just "O" rings riding on the valve stem.
