I know this is an old subject, but for what its worth, my Deuce has an opening on the back of the air cleaner close to the firewall that the slobber tube can be redirected to with some work. I did this on mine to prevent the fumes from reaching the cab and to make both the slobber tube and...

that's good to hear. Mine shipped out today, also courtesy of jatonka. changing out fuel filters in the meantime.

looks like a rock to me. Don't see how they'd be any different.

I had this happen to me after adjusting the IP advance. What I think happened is unburnt fuel got deposited in the piston bowl while turning the engine to the proper position, then lit all at once when I started it, making it seem like a runaway. my $.02

to replace the inner seal, does one simply need to remove the inner bearing to reach it? One of my hubs is leaking, and I intend on rebuilding it, so this will be a GREAT help!

what compression tester tool do you use? I'm actually looking to get one for diesels and would like one that has the right fitting for the LDT.

Is the LDS built such that it can wind up to about 3K, but the LDT can't? The LDS troubleshooting manual says it can, if i remember correctly.

Sarge, You are a fine example of what every human should aspire to be. Thank you very much for telling your story!

I have the XLs on my deuce, and can tell you from experience that they will dig to china if given the chance, especially when singled (my fronts dig badly). I plan on keeping them and putting 14.5R20 XLs up front to add flotation to prevent said problem.

how much does your 4-wheel rig weigh? If its hefty, the ramps for it will probably be as well, given the deck height of a deuce. my $.02

From what I've heard, the anco 41-01 has been discontinued. I tried to pick up some for my deuce, bot nobody local (incl. NAPA) has them.

I'm on the fence about this one. I have an M35 that I'd like to put ARBs in the rear axles and 14.5s up front, and that's it. I can see the attraction of a bobbed truck as an oversize pickup (think poor-man's CXT). For more rare vehicles, I prefer to take the restore and preserve route. That...

I agree with BKubu. If the truck was brought to you by someone to have bobbed, see if they'd be willing to sell it and get a tractor to bob. Might even cost them less in the long run. I've seen many more tractors than 813s, so they're less likely to become very scarce. my 2cents

That could work, be automatic, and low profile. Maybe a ping-pong ball and rubber grommet above it for sealing?

:ditto: Also consider that you get quite a lot for very little. Yesterday my fiance remarked how the deuce (with XLs) was able to go through places that her tractor would dig down to the axles in. As long as you aren't in a hurry, I would say that there are few things that the Deuce can't do.

correct me if i'm wrong, but the only way to shut down a non-electronic diesel is to pull the fuel-stop. At least that's how it is on every non-electronic diesel I've ever used. edit: Oh...perhaps the solenoid is stuck open?

transformers don't run on DC.

shouldn't need a CDL in VA unless you're using the deuce for business use. As for the title, check this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/sf-97-help/44679-virginia-dmv-requirements.html
