Is ATF like a magic pill to clean out our fuel systems, if so maybe if most of us used some ATF for cleaning purposes and had the result TM did than we could turn down our fuel. I know that when I got mine she felt way under powered so had to give the IP 1 1/4 turns. I thought I would just...

Tools, that is great news! Those keepers are a royal pain in the butt. Glad to hear you got her running!:beer: Trd, if you want to talk, give me a PM, I am interested in figuring out your delievery valve issue.

The screw that you are talking about is just to plug up the hole. The hole is used to time the IP to the timing of the gears on the cam shaft to get the IP to squirt fuel when it is supposed to. Timing the IP to the engine is wicked important, another member just fought a long battle with his...

Can anyone elaborate on the cracked manifold idea? It would make sence that a hot part like the exhaust manifold would crack if you drove a hot truck into water, so..... how does anyone snorkle their trucks/jeeps/toyotas ect. and run the deuce under water like a mil. video I've seen with...

I don't think, well I guess, the dog house/loaf of bread hole might throw off the timing if not shaped right. This is what I love about metal though, you can weld it up and file it down to fit! Good luck, Toomanytools! Now that you found that and the siezed rod you should be good to go, NICE...

APM215, I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience, that situation is wrong in a variety of ways! Has anyone seen the new style aluminum bows available? They don't look hard to fab., just need to get a hold of the right size alum. and a shop to put the right bend in them with a roller.

With the smoke as a result of turning up the fuel, is this going to create carbon build up in the exhaust stack? I am starting to see a noticable amount of soot, carbon on the bend at the tip of my stack. I think it smokes worse when its cold, (like diesels do) so maybe thats the cause.

I had a fuel leak in the front, it was a bad compression fitting on the primary fuel filter on the line that ran accross the front frame member. When I first got my truck it couldn't get out of its own way (it was in high) lots of noise but now get up and go, I believe that the Gov. had the...

I don't think 14.00's fit a 6 wheeled deuce.

Post # 31, what makes an engine do that? HOLY S......., that scares my check book! It sounded fine in the beginning, what happened? Obviously keep oil in them and don't over rev them, but what? Will clattering/tapping valve/push rods cause that, how about just a tick in the rods? I HATE...

How fast are you guys running your trucks? 50 mph? like crusing at 50 mph for long periods? wow, I had turned up my fuel 1 1/4 turns for a little more power with 11/20 tires because she had no spunk, but I don't feel comfortable with running over 40 to 45 mph, I'm scared to death of blowing...

What would you guys say is the limit (safe for the 465) for boost and EGT's? And what the ....... is this water injection thing-a-ma-bob? Black smoke?, I turned my fuel up 1-1/4 turns and my smoke is grey.

I agree, Saturn is great to deal with, the only confusing part is trying to order on line, its way different than most other set ups, so I just call. No prob, it all works out. [thumbzup]

"Plus if one does blow out, I'm less likely to lose control. Plus, too... by all accounts, duals have better traction than singles so if I go with 10 Michelin XL 11.00R-20s, I'll be unstoppable. :mrgreen:" RIGHT?!!!!!! The Gov. had swapped my rear hubs, but I almost want to flip them...

Joe, that is GREAT NEWS!!!! I'm glad to hear that your genny still has life in her. I think you are right about the one cylinder skipping issue that I inturprite from what you said. If it ran for a while and then started jumping around and you saw blackish smoke before it quit, that tells me...

I went thru the same thing last spring. I thought it might be the starter solinoid after cleaning all the battery contacts everywhere. Bought a new solinoid and it still did the clicking. I took a voltage tester and hunted around for power where there was supposed to be and found that the...

WOW that was cool they auto bleep swear words! How many bleeps do we get before trouble?

Joe, for the **** of it (sorry, I said it) Line up the PC mark, put the wire in the side of the IP and install the IP. Try to run it, if it runs YOU GOT IT, if not, take it out, put the wire in the IP and turn to the PC mark again. Its a 50/50 shot, I got lucky, I'll pray for some good ju-ju...

AIR, I need air to breath. This may be a streach with a different look at this problem. How is everyones air supply and system, if your east of Nevada you may still be free of radioactive air? Are the Green Iron Machines west of Nevada still breathing OK? So you check the air filter, and...

Speddmon, I think Lucky will have a problem with this. Didn't he say that he can't get the high press. lines loose? Also how possible is it to (the face gear and the cam gear) be off by one tooth either way? Would the engine still run (like crap)? If these guys have gotten this far with...
