    1988 Air force deuce brake system rebuild

    You have the same master cylinder as my 1988 deuce has. The seals are all readily available from any "O" ring supplier that sells "Viton" and "silicone" seals. "Peashooter" (Aaron) has a great write-up on this on his "brake" information post. The only seals "not" readily available are the two...

    Yeah, there is that whole warranty thing to worry about. That monitor sounds very interesting. I'll go and check it out. Thanks Floridianson.

    how much zddp additive?

    That pretty much matches up with what I've been reading. Though the reports I've read say 2000 PPM is the max for ZDDP for a well broken in engine. Now if your breaking in a "rebuilt" engine they say to use up to 5000 PPM for the first 2000 miles. Cam and tappet wear is the biggest issue.

    how much zddp additive?

    I would stay with just the two bottles even for the conventional oil. Both have about the same amount of ZDDP in their oil so two 4oz bottles is fine. Since I wrote that I have found you can over do it on the ZDDP additive. So stick to the two bottles.

    help pricing nos M35a2 cab

    You could check out "Eastern Surplus" . I remember they had one for sell a little while ago. Pricey if I remember right.

    Finally bypassed the FDC in my deuce.

    Wasn't that steering column bracket made by "Peashooter" (Aaron) ? I'm pretty sure it was. I remember buying it from him I'm sure. That was a few years ago now, but I'm still pretty sure it was "Peashooter" . I bought some "Hewitt" gauges for mine. At least I think they are Hewitt ! Man my brain...

    It can be fun to just let go and destroy an engine you know is toast ! I still remember doing that to a Dodge 318cid . It never blew up, just sadly slowed down and then froze together. Never to turn over again.

    Torque multiplier....I won't leave home without it.

    OK. Sorry if I read anything into this post that you didn't mean. I'm so used to people going after me for something I said I guess I go into attack mode automatically anymore. I do love my new Milwaukee 3/4" impact, and plan on carrying it with me on my trip. It just is not as powerful as some...

    Torque multiplier....I won't leave home without it.

    So now your going back years to try and discredit me Floridianson ? Well if you really read what I said, You need to look at post #8 . He was clearly referring to the Milwaukee #2763-22 1/2" impact wrench. So from then on I was referring to that 1/2" impact wrench. Then in post #18 "swbradley1"...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I know you are getting fuel to the injection pump, but have you "measured" the actual fuel output ? Basically are you flowing enough fuel ? Have you taken off the fuel line from the fuel filter to the injection pump and seen how much fuel comes out ? At this point I'm just throwing out ideas and...

    Finally bypassed the FDC in my deuce.

    No one that I've seen makes a gauge that looks like the military ones. So I went with a standard black bezel white interior gauge. Looks OK to me.

    Runaway

    I can honestly say I have never heard of any one swapping out an engine because they were bored ! At least it was a good training experience I hope ! :D

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I second the motion for the part numbers and where you bought them from ! Looks so much brighter ! That's what I need here in the gloomy winters months. Much better to be seen then crashed into !

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I was not aware of any special triangle button. Is it some kind of "special" access to the moderators ? If so then I guess you would know right Floridianson.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I've done that on many of my hinges, but I usually use a stainless steel bolt. Then I know it won't be rusting anymore. I really hate rust ! I forgot to add, install the bolt with "anti-seize" .

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    It's statements like this that are not needed here. Moderators ?

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    That is a very true statement. Even around here where I live. There are those who think if you drive a "military vehicle" you must be some kind of "white supremacist" . Even at my church ! I mean "REALLY !"
