    OK, I Can Take Bad News

    If a tach cable is your only bad news, consider it good news. Bad news is snapping a camshaft in two.

    Ever see a m105-DT

    Hmm, an Air-over-Hydraulic pump would make this great for a deuce. HF sells them cheap too. No need for additional power.

    Which Harbor Freight impact wrench?

    Get the correct size tool. (The $99 HF 1" impact). It will run off of the truck's air. Only get to do one lug per minute due to the air demand.

    Killed my alternator

    No, no. Never do that. That is the best way to damage an alternator. Correct charging voltage should be ~28 Volts. You need to confirm that there is power @ the 14 ga wire corrected between the alternator and accessory switch. The alternator will not produce a charge without power there...

    Deuce wiper and primary spin on fuel filter upgrade

    For those who are complaining about cost.... Go to a junk yard and buy the primary filter housing from a truck with a Detroit Series 50 or 60. The filter housing shouldn't cost more then $15 and the Wix 33418 filter fits it. The housing's Detroit part number: 5148023 Might be able to get it...

    I'm building a bobbed deuce to sell or i can do the conversion to your truck.

    Those lift blocks are not safe. Holy Spring wrap...Until the u-bolts break. Then, "Holy Axle missing"!

    Master cyl dry

    The cap needs to be vented (Same goes for every other car/light truck on the road). Putting a plug in the cap will cause the brakes to drag with a long driving trip.

    12v- 24v question

    That is an incorrect statement. A battery equalizer should be connected to the batteries 100% of the time. Even with the engine off. No two batteries are the same. Each battery will naturally discharge at different rates. With the equalizer managing voltage on both batteries, both stay @...

    12v- 24v question

    Hands down, A battery equalizer will out perform the HUMVEE alternator, and those 24 to 12 V converters. It's worth getting. 100 Amp continuous output potential. You batteries can also be damaged due to any voltage drop across the "dog bone". An equalizer will stop this charge imbalance...

    A3 Tranny Issues

    It's an Allison trans. Buy a manual from them (see their web site). You should be able to buy any parts you need from your local Allison dealer.

    12v- 24v question

    Do a search on a "Battery Equalizer". Pulling 12 volts off the lower battery is never correct unless you have a way to correctly charge them. Example: On a CUCV, you can pull off the lower battery because it has an alternator to charge each battery.
