This sounds like it is a very deep issue with lots of debate, but when I read things like "harmful to brass syncros" it scares me more than hitting a pot hole with a deuce going 50. Are you guys saying that some modern oils may degrade the parts we intend to lube?

I just did this same install last month and used 11" bolts for the 5/8" and 1/2". I get all my nuts and bolts from MSC (blue book). This is an industrial cataloge that WILL HAVE ANYTHING you will need to bolt stuff up. I don't mess around when it comes to bolts but the T9 bolts were going to...

I'm in MA and using valvoline hd 80/90 gear oil from Napa in all the cases, do you guys know something I don't, or is this grade ok? I have been running it for about a year and just recently drained the tranny to install a pto and the old oil seemed greyish not the golden syrup but the cases...

You can check if its the IP if you crack (slightly loosen) one of the high pressure lines at one of the injectors and crank the engine and see if you get any fuel from it. If not, its the IP, if fuel then I'd say dirty/stuck injectors. You can get parts from a company called Delks, I also have...

LuckyDog, when you turn the control switch to run/prime the fuel pumps do a sort of prime/purge (and I believe return fuel back to the tank ?) anyway the pump clicking will slow down once primed so what you said sounds normal. Having hardly any fuel flow from the return line, I don't know, this...

If you wanted to charge/ top off 2 extra 12V batteries you keep at home, could you just throw them in your truck, connect the pos to the other neg and run jumper cables respectivly to them and your truck batteries while you drive around all day?

Am I correct that insurance rates are dictated by each individual state? From all the threads that I have read about insuring a deuce it seems that southern and western states have lower or more flexable rates. I called several of my local agents that represent several companies and I get the...

Here in MA the registry and insurance situation for anything esp. a deuce is a disaster/nightmare! Deuce = Commercial, period! Commercial registration - $300/ year with GVW ammended to 15,000#, Bare bones insurance for the year [commercial] - $1200, any additional trailers - $250 EACH, having...

Thanks, I guess I missed the part that said m52a2!

What will happen if the first heater hose is tapped at the top port of the thermostat housing and the second threaded into one of the lower ports to the water pump[ on the pipe or on the pump]? The coolant should still circulate right? But you probably won't have heat until the thermostat...

Topo, what truck is that a picture of, where is your J pipe? Some of the items in the picture look unfamiliar.

I have been looking high and low for the correct heater hose plumbing locations. I have heat but it takes my truck a long time to come up to temp. I have one hose on the manifold at the temp sensor and the other on the port after the thermostat above the water pump before the 2" hose to it. Like...

I just looked at my truck and I have been bypassing the thermostat with the personel heater! I never even thought of this till now, no wonder it takes forever to warm up the engine, I'll need to check the TM's for a proper location. Will the 600W kats thread into and have clearance on the port...

The freeze plug style scares the crap out of me! I saw a video of a guy installing the threaded style in this same spot, what gives? Is there another 3/4 thread location, what did I miss that all the other threaded guys use? I am also not sure now of my correct personel heater hose locations. It...

I have had the same problem with the kats 3/4" heater threaded into the water pump, I've been thru 2 elements, ran the truck for 30 min. to clear air then shut down, plugged in heater then the same sizzling and it lost continuity between terminals. The copper shows signs of rubbing against the...

Mine says the same as yours with the sn. 3993169 an the engine tag says Hercules. The tag also says its a 1998 engine. I hope this helps.

Congradulations! I have the same rig, in regard to the batteries, any 625 cca should work in series to make 24V. Mine are from Duralast, they are skinny about 5 1/4 wide. When the jenny is healthy it doesn't take much for them to turn over, mine is fairly quick with the use of the glow plugs...

I installed a 30 amp 24 to 12 volt converter form OK Offroad, it works great. It runs for $300 I think, check out thier web site, I like it. You can run just about anything except a winch. I also have it wired to a single 12v battery to act as a 12v reserve bank. I also use 2 marine battery...

I just disassembled my replacement IP and couldn't find anything wrong with it until I was putting it back together - NO BUTTON !:evil: IT CAME WITH NO BUTTON! Who woulda thought? Oh well, one more to tack up to the School of Hard Knocks. At least I could use the new delievery spring and valve.

Thanks Carl, I took the muffler off and the noise isn't that bad.
