    Air stop light switch issue

    Thanks Rusty, I know I was numb after my research, and thought there was something about air switches being rated at 300lbs or whatever, and thought these were supposed to open at 3-5psi. But in trying to answer a previous question, I do believe they are 12 and 24v capable.

    Air stop light switch issue

    I cant give a proper answer, I know I was looking for voltage also, but I went by part number that had been used by someone else. I "believe" my Napa part was 12 or 24 volt compatible. I chose the part with lower air pressure requirement to open the switch, the M35A2 air systems are not as high...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Good way to drop and O-ring... I put 6 of the MRAP/396s out of the bed of my deuce, onto a small dirt mound, where i could keep them from falling over, all by myself. Just rolled them off onto a sheet of plywood and hung on... I had 2 lay over, the first one I tried to use my chain fall, and it...

    In-tank pump problems

    I thought about doing an autopsy on my old pump, but why bother... unless you just want to handle the sticky thing.

    In-tank pump problems

    Mine buzzed (not the air buzzer), and sounded like it was doing something, but it wasn't. The Parker pump is QUIET. All you can hear is the return fuel stream, pouring back in the tank. I'd make sure the fuel level is at least above the metal bracket that is below the fuel cap...

    In-tank pump problems

    Mine will splash fuel off the hood... (big stream) when the secondary vent is open. The primary filter should push a nice stream if you vent it also. Can you hear fuel recirculate back into the tank? Your flex hose on the pump attached proper and in good shape? Fuse connections good (getting...

    what kind of pyrometer are you using?

    I've seen one on a deuce (here in some older pages), I wonder if it would pull a higher-negative while going downgrade, near over rev territory.

    what kind of pyrometer are you using?

    Question... What about those boost gauges that read negative boost? Would those be totally worthless for a LDT...?

    New here

    Welcome, from Texas. Enjoy your search, my one suggestion would be to see a few different trucks before you buy one. You can come back to the first one, but give yourself something to compare it to.

    Wouldn't it be a lot easier to just do a trailer...?

    Hello from Texas

    Welcome to the fun Jim, I'm 51, retired and love my big green truck. It's a fun project that comes in handy around our place. The older stuff is pretty easy to work on, not a lot of "special tools" needed. The people on here are very informative and helpful, some will make sure you have searched...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I changed my trans fluid, found my trans grounding strap was on the wrong side of an air vent line and rubbing, so that was corrected. I was able to get more corn head grease in my winch since it was cold last time and it wouldn't flow.| I banged the mostly empty "00" bottle on my winch cable...
