    fuel filter conversion unit

    If your fuel is at least relatively clean then you probably won't notice any difference between a single filter head and a double. Like you said, if it makes you feel better carry a spare in your tool box. A mistake that many make with running alternative fuels is they think the on board...

    It won't hurt to try and fix it.

    Fittings for my CTIS

    Push lock fittings aren't hard to find. Mcmaster Carr has them online.

    IP problem with my new Deuce...need advice

    Not always with a diesel. When cylinder temperatures fall too low it causes incomplete combustion. Especially at idle where diesels tend to run too cold anyways. It may be counter productive to intercooling but for what the military needed this truck for its genius.

    fuel filter conversion unit

    My spin on filters are 10 micron for the primary and 6 micron for the secondary filters. Always have a filter designed to capture water plumbed in first. Water can degrade filter elements not designed for it.

    Yes coolant flows through the intake to warm the air. This is for when the truck is operated in cold climates. I'm curious as to what you find when you dig in. Inspect everything for cracks!

    C Turbo

    My buddies truck with a c turbo pukes oil from the exhaust stack for exactly this reason. Always let your truck idle for a while before shutdown!!

    Just be sure to watch your egt's after the bypass.

    1971 deuce uneven power performance

    Yup. They are bad about allowing fuel to get into the engine oil.

    HanksDeuce: 8" Lift, Bobbed, External Cage, A/C and more Project!

    Ok so my f350 does not have the 3rd port on the bottom. Otherwise, very similar looking units.

    LED vs HID headlights

    I'm not so sure they "last longer". When leds die they are dead. When a bulb or ballast (hid) goes you just replace the part that's bad. Not the entire assembly. Not to mention truck lite has a rather dubious reputation for failure. Grote doesn't seem a whole lot better. I could build a...

    That hydroboost looks a lot like what's in my f350. I'll pop the hood tomorrow and see if it has that 3rd port on the bottom. Then see if I can trace where it goes.

    IP problem with my new Deuce...need advice

    Yes but not with that bell housing. I think you need an sae #3 bellhousing. Along with the needed clutch parts.

    1971 deuce uneven power performance

    Then chances are your pump is bad.

    1971 deuce uneven power performance

    Yes. The cover the plug hooks to. You need a 7 amp slow blow fuse.

    1971 deuce uneven power performance

    They are cheaper and easier to deal with than an in line pump also.

    When the main power switch is on.

    Time to pull the heads!!

    cant fit in m35a3, too tall, feel cramped.

    A3 pedals are in fact longer or taller than most a2 pedals. Even on the lower notch they are still pointlessly tall. A3's usually don't have a clutch pedal either.
