RE: to the unjection pump?
is there a single man test method for the flame heater... I'm not sure if mine is operating, or at least I notice no difference when I try to use it
I wanted to know if anyone locally in the Denver area can give me a hand with some tricky front axle ball joint boots... I have put them on twice now, and I can't get them to stay put, so I'm wondering if I can "pay" (read: beer or cash or food or whatever) to come on over one afternoon and help...
oh and for the guys who say "emissions -pfft!" it was so smoky, it would coat intersections like you just did a nice long standing burn-out, which will attract police from any town.
I've had a deuce to do the project on for some time, (not just the one I own now) but just so I don't have to keep sending out pm's, Ill post here.
There was a hold up in the kit design for a couple of months for personal things that came up. After that, it has been determined that the...
Lube, good idea always, but remember that gauge is triggered by a passing magnet overcoming the force of a retaining spring, so either one of two, or both things happened: the magnet and the needle stuck together, or the spring is broken and it somehow "snagged" in there returning the readings...
I'm thinking about replacing the non-clutched fan on the motor with an electric unit that mounts to the radiator in a "puller" fashion. I realize it will free up some HP on the motor, but what I wanted to do is have a thermostat controlled fan pair, instead of a constant running one.
Has...
Would it be viable to just use some (hollow) square tube steel and plate the pieces together until it was built up to the proper size? it would be a heck of a lot stronger!
A double sleeper on the back of a deuce would likely exceed 13' 6" the DOT max for tractors.
However, try to imagine this:
Start at the cab in the deuce, and remove the bench passenger seat for another driver's seat on the right side. Grab a plasma and cut out the back of the wall of the cab...
I'm looking for the winter cover kit for the front of the nose, and also Camo insulated cab and bed canvases.
I'd need a full "kit" for the cab, that would include the bows. Will part-trade for some extras I have, like a hard top, and green vinyl bed canvas, or some of the turbo equipment I...
Likewise, if anyone can get me a chemical breakdown of the fuel molecules of the new and old ones, I'd be happy to look into that - unles I find one here on the web.
I've looked into this subject this morning, because I'm interested in the details too. Here is the stuff I dug up:
ULSD has an added lube "rating" but it seems to be a "drier" fuel than LSD, which means it does not (or should not) lube as well as the old stuff, but it is not appearing to be...
I've built them once in Eastern Africa when I was enlisted around 95 in the Corps. We had 8 Marines, built the frames, taped off "snag points" and then pulled the canvas over the top from one side using a 5-ton to stand on and ropes at the other side.
It's not easy, and I can only tell you...
I had a chance to review the traveller's / Gulfway policy and honestly, the State Farm runs rings around it without any restrictions or "out clauses" in the binder/contract thing they send with the policy.
Not for me, but some love the company! Different strokes, different folks!
I've seen two -
Wallew's was $5500 replacement full coverage 300K/300K/50K (uninsured motorist is the last one) and that was $198 a year I think from Travellers Indem Co. / Gulfway Insurance agency in Florida sold the policy.
I called them for a quote a while back and they offered me the...
From my days training people on 80,000lb semis, and holds true today: One thing to remember - NEVER EVER drive a deuce like a car! Braking should be done far far away (up to or over 1/4 mile in advance to plan and slow on the highway or shorter distances, acceleration should not be made to keep...
RE: Replacing Filament Bulbs with LEDs... anyone done it yet
wow - thanks guys! I'll get pics asap, I've been doing a lot of work - ball joint boots (ARGH!!!), lighting, gauge repair and replacements, installs, painting, interior work, and now this too.
Replacing Filament Bulbs with LEDs... anyone done it yet, or am I going to be the pioneer? 8)
Anyone have any contacts / resources?
How about load simualtors or whatever they are called; or is the flasher unit on the deuce not load dependant?
ok - is there a replacement out there? Saturn shows one but it is sold out and looks incorrect anyhow.
Anyone have a spare - or a junk replacement horn set?
Ok - I've been on here for over an hour browsing all of the M35 manuals, and I cannot find a single view and parts content of the air horn solenoid.
I'm trying to troubleshoot mine, and it clicks when the tanks are drained, but not pressurized. I took it apart and all it has inside is a single...
