    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Same muffler I used. I love it. Amazingly quiet for such a small flow through muffler.

    m35a2 driver seat

    Actually they are super easy to find. Hmmwv seats are identical. That's actually what's in my picture. I installed 2 a3 suspension bases and topped them with n.o.s hmmwv seats.

    M35a3 drivers seats are nice.

    Electric fan for Deuce

    Your mad? He called me just to brag that he got a n.o.s hard top for a great price. At least he offered the hard top off of his truck for a price I can't complain about.

    Electric fan for Deuce

    That should help a bunch. If your still not getting hot air from your heater I suggest flushing the heater core. My coolant heater blows nice and warm. It's just the deuce cab is not sealed well enough to effectively heat with such a small heater. Better than nothing though.

    Confirm Alternator Belt Part Number

    Nope. Matched sets are still around. I found out the hard way that 2 "identical" belts aren't always the same length. I have a local shop that can order matched belt sets for up to 7 groove shives. My old drilling rig had a 5 groove shiv that drove the mud pump. If even 1 belt was off or...

    Electric fan for Deuce

    Have you tried covering the radiator in the winter?

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Don't over do it with the emery board. Just a quick lick and that will do it. Good luck.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Are you talking about the flasher or the turn signal lever on the steering column? Cause you can open up the lever assembly and there are contacts that can be cleaned inside. An emery board works nicely for this.

    Oil filter cans that retain oil?

    On a modern filter the antidrain valve requires maybe 1 psi to open. Probably not even that much. It's just a rubber flap that serves as a check valve.

    Oil filter cans that retain oil?

    I'm not buying squat. I already have anti drain back filters.

    Oil filter cans that retain oil?

    When you add a restriction upstream from a pump the pressure gets greater the closer you get to the pump. A 15 psi valve isn't going to seal closed any better than a 3 psi valve. It just takes more pressure to open it. What I'm getting at is there's no need to over do it on the opening...

    Oil filter cans that retain oil?

    Not always true. A 15 psi valve won't seal any better than the 3 psi valve. Also a 15 psi restriction upstream equals a much higher psi restriction at the oil pump. You may end up causing the oil pump bypass to open and starve the rest of the engine of oil.

    1960 Curtis-Wright m35a2

    If it's a white then chances are it's an ldt 465-1d. It's still a multifuel. Sometimes when the military bypassed the fuel density compensater they would stencil somewhere on the truck "diesel fuel only." However, it's still a multifuel engine and can still be run on multiple fuels.

    M35a2 injector return line fittings

    The "correct" compression sleeves are not the same as plumbing compression sleeves. However, I used plumbing compression sleeves on my truck when I replaced my return lines. They worked just fine. Not even a damp spot around the fittings.

    Cat 3406 B

    Ya that's way too much engine. A multifuel only weights round about 1700 pounds.

    Oil filter cans that retain oil?

    I figured lol. But I did want to clarify since that actually is a valid question.

    Oil filter cans that retain oil?

    Doesn't really matter. I probably could have worded it better but every foot you elevate fresh water you get about .45 psi. That's why water towers are so tall.
  20. welldigger

    Oil filter cans that retain oil?

    I would use the 3 psi valve. The oil in the cans doesn't weigh nearly enough to crack that valve when the engine is off. For example if you have a 1ft column of fresh water at the base of your column you will have about 0.45 psi. So it would take a 6ft column of water to equal slightly less...
