    Has anyone ever just put a camper shell on a deuce instead of modifying a M109?

    Brake fluid coming out of drip tube at turbo

    ... Well, now I'm confused.

    Brake fluid coming out of drip tube at turbo

    If air and brake fluid are coming out of the same place, you likely have an issue with your master cylinder and airpak. However, I can't think of any reason why either would be coming out of the slobber tube. Unless its coming out of the master cylinder vent, and it just looks like it coming...

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    What valve work has been done?

    Has anyone tried to fit this pump in?

    And its so much quieter, that "peeing in a bucket" noise becomes much more audible.

    Up in Smoke - Not the movie, my alternator

    I suppose you could put a Klixon type device in the winding or regulator housing and have it interrupt the field current. It would be easier to just kill the exciter, but from what 74m35 is saying, that might actually cause the voltage to spike.

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    Every point you touched on here agrees with everything I've been told or come to learn on my own. Modern engines require less break-in because the cylinders, pistons, and rings are all manufactured more uniformly. This reduces the need for cross-hatching to break the rings in. That's what its...

    That's why the scroll design of the BMW system is so effective. However, they got a little greedy with the passage size on some models and they are prone to condensation freezing up in them and causing issues. The air velocity on a gas engine pulling manifold vacuum is much higher than...

    Up in Smoke - Not the movie, my alternator

    Complaints about alternators failing when attempting to charge a dead or weak battery are common across many applications at least up through he 90's. And a 198° thermostat is still hotter than the 180 and 170° that was common when these trucks were built. But it I get your point. I'll also...

    Uses for Deuces

    I was using my M35 as a mobile work platform for tree work. Then I used it to pull the stumps. I have some pictures around somewhere.

    BMW uses a "cyclone separator". It's incredibly effective, but I'm not sure a diesel creates enough vacuum to get the flow needed, even on the "clean" side of the air filter. One of my BMW engines at 227K miles never burned a drop of oil even over a 10k mile interval.
