I changed the voltage regulator on my alternator back in August 2016. When I realized it was overcharging, I changed the regulator right away. Everything seems to be as it should. If something happens again, then I'll go for the modern 24V alt. It's a gamble. I won this round so far.

Welcome from Northern Ohio. There's always interest in seeing pictures of history being restored! Good luck with the restoration.

Welcome from Northern Ohio! Nice looking truck. What do they check for when you take it to emissions? Not exactly the cleanest exhaust coming out of our trucks. Must be tougher emissions standards where you're at.

Finally got to run my truck with the new gauges. Turbo boost was up to 5 psi. And the egt was up to 850 degrees F at full throttle up hill in 4th gear.

The flame heater squirter was the leakage problem.

First pic is the exhaust manifold where I drilled and tapped for the thermocouples. I removed the turbocharger to do the drilling. So no drill filings would destroy the turbo. I also resealed the exhaust. The last pic is part of the flame heater that squirts fuel in the intake for the flame...

Finished adding a egt gauge and boost gauge with thermocouples. Fabricated a gauge pod to go on the steering column. I went to give the truck a run and my flame heater started to leak fuel. So it got bypassed. No more fuel leak!

Welcome from N.E. Ohio. Good looking truck. Find those gremlins and remove them kicking and screaming!

Welcome from Seville Ohio! Nice looking truck.

Truck looks good! It even has the lollipops and the scoop for the heater. Just a bit of TLC and she'll look the prize.

I ordered the dual pyro gauge and boost gauge thermocouples and lead wires with shipping was just under $320 from Hewitt Ind.. I wanted a dual pyro to get both sides of the manifold, (I know, just my preference). I'll install them, then do a FDC bypass.

Welcome from Northern Ohio! Hope everything goes well with your project.

Rebuild old Regulator? Now since removing the old regulator and installing a new one (that works great), can the old voltage regulator that was overcharging be rebuilt? This would be good to put back on the shelf. Just wondering if anyone has tried this or sent it to be rebuilt.

The data plates were swapped for some unknown reason. I had contacted the DMV by me, and they told me its just a matter of having the incorrect title. And that I should go ahead and get the correct title for the correct truck, and that they would waive the taxes.

Update to Incorrect V.I.N. UPDATE: I talked to the man at the equipment dealership, he is selling it for the current owner (friend of his). The current owner is also the previous owner of my truck. We looked at numbers of both trucks and the frame number on his truck matches the cab data plate...

And seeing it is at a dealership, it may be a bit easier to get all the numbers and titles corrected. If all numbers match up. Maybe ha!

Yes, I need to make an appointment to see the truck seeing it's now at an equipment dealership.

Hi All, A few years back, I bought my Deuce from a private owner. He said he won 2 trucks in an auction and needed to get rid of one (mine). When I went to process the title, I used the I.D. number off the dash plaque in the cab. In trying to uncover a little history on the truck, I came...
