    Sudden Fast Oil Leak

    Oh this is interesting. I was just in the process of replacing the ring seal around the top of my intake pump when I noticed that the orange rtv sealer was used AGAIN in place of a real gasket. :evil: Now this makes me wonder where else it was used.

    Sudden Fast Oil Leak

    Thanks, I'll keep a close eye on the symptoms. I had the oil changed the day I got the truck by a diesel mechanic. I watched him drain the oil and the only noticeable characteristic is that the oil appeared very watery. The term he used was "thin" so I suppose extremely old/used. Didn't see any...

    Sudden Fast Oil Leak

    After reading the manual it states the oil level needs to appear between the "add oil" and "full" mark on the dipstick. Well mine is clearly above the "full" mark, so I'm wondering if the oil leak could have occurred due to overfilling of the oil? Or would it have shown itself sooner than now?

    Sudden Fast Oil Leak

    After running the truck I checked the oil and it ends after the 2nd "L" on "FULL". Out of curiosity is the oil gauge showing normal pressure?

    Sudden Fast Oil Leak

    I cleaned all the oil up yesterday with spray nine and then drove the truck around a bit until operating temp was reached. I then parked it, shut it down and started looking for oil drips. I saw no oil running from anywhere, so I don't know what could've been leaking. What i did notice was fuel...

    Sudden Fast Oil Leak

    Well, pushing the pedal down by hand until it stopped was about 1/2, so top of the pedal. From the floor to the disengage point is quite lengthy, can't really guess that one. Would need to measure it tomorrow.

    Sudden Fast Oil Leak

    To answer your clutch question: I've learned to become extremely slow on the clutch in 1st gear while adding throttle and it's worked out just fine and I'm really starting get the feel of the clutch shifting to higher and lower gears. Now to answer the rest of what you said. I'll be checking and...

    So would the oil pan gasket need to be replaced?

    Sudden Fast Oil Leak

    Let's begin this by saying I've been driving the truck nearly most the day in 90 degree 100% humidity weather, if that matters. I would guesstimate a total of 60 miles. A lot of brake usage, stop lights, etc. 4 engine shut off's and 3 starts in total for today. Everytime I made a stop I would...

    Questions about removing deuce wheels

    Is it possible and or safe to tighten the lugs by hand or is the impact wrench absolutely necessary for that?

    Questions about removing deuce wheels

    I think I'll try the breaker bar first, and all I'll need for that is a 1 1/2" budd socket? Also, could a 1/2 impact suffice?

    Questions about removing deuce wheels

    What are the best ways of removing the wheels on a deuce? I'm thinking of either going with a pneumatic impact wrench or a breaker bar type of setup. Will the impact wrench be able to run off the deuces emergency air with a 3/8 fitting? Also, What size/type sockets will be needed for lug removal?

    Anyone try pro sandblast equipment to strip their m35?

    I know some people don't like the sand blasting idea, but I'm curious what the alternative would be? Are the air needles a close second option?

    Common Rain Leaks?

    Well, I applied it to the seam and we'll see how it holds up. It is starting to rain so I hope it dries fast. :shock:

    Common Rain Leaks?

    Found this stuff laying around the house. Would it do the job for the small holes in the cowling?

    Deuce Shifting Questions

    Bill, I do recognize and appreciate all the help that you've provided. I meant no disrespect at all. I know excuses, right? But I was already irritated at the time i typed up that response, so i apologize. I took it the wrong way, which i guess is easy to do over the internet. Also, I'll do what...
