    Mike D's deuce recovery/modification thread

    Other than brake system leaks, if it isn't making a puddle on the ground don't worry about it.

    Brake cylinders

    A buddy of mine bought 6 from Napa a couple weeks ago. The box did not have a country or origin marked. I suspect chinese. We bout 4 from Napa a year ago and 2 were usa made and 2 were chinese. I bet you can guess what that means.

    Mike D's deuce recovery/modification thread

    I wouldn't rule out the head gasket just because it was recently done. If you pull the heads have them magnafluxed. At least then you will know if there is a crack.

    Weld or Replace?

    Is it a short or long style airpak? I have a good hydraulic end for a short one you can have.

    That's not a terrible price. If you ever get caught in a rain storm you will quickly see that they are worth every penny. They are also not failure prone like the air motors.

    The air wipers don't even compare to electric wipers. I love mine.

    Muffler on a turbo

    There are 2 "fuel pumps" that work in conjunction with the injector pump on the deuce. First is the in tank pump. It only builds around 5-7 psi. It's job is to prime the fuel system. Then on the side of the injector pump is the booster pump. It feeds the hydraulic head on the injector...

    M35A3 tire changing to 395/85/20 part 1

    I run the xzl's on my truck. They ride and steer good. I haven't put enough miles on them to say how they wear. Off road they perform pretty awesome. As far as road noise...well I haven't rode in a truck with xml's so I can't compare, but the xzl's aren't terribly loud. They sound about...

    Muffler on a turbo

    I have spin on, anti drain back filters. Full oil pressure in 2 seconds. Not as good as a prelube system but good enough for me.

    Muffler on a turbo

    You know I'm not a subscriber to the theory that you must baby the ldt or never exceed 2200 rpm. I run mine at 2400 all day long. For every guy who breaks a crank or throws a rod half of them baby their engine. The other half pegs it to full rpm. So no one has yet to really prove how and why...

    Stuck on the inner seal!

    I know you already got the inner seal off but the technique I use to get them off is lay a chunk of 2x4 across the brake shoes and use a pry bar to pop the seal off braced against the 2x4. As for the outer seal, yes, the lip goes towards the bearing. Excess grease coating things won't hurt...

    Muffler on a turbo

    Post a picture of it and see if you can find any brand or part numbers on it. I have a muffler on my turbo multi fuel. It really makes the truck much more pleasant to drive. Mine is also a flow through design. It doesn't add any back pressure.

    Insane home Water/meth injection...

    I have a few jerry cans that need some tlc. Motorcycle tank sealers are the same thing. Just arbitrarily more expensive.

    Insane home Water/meth injection...

    Here it is. I knew it was either made by por15 or Magnet coatings. https://www.por15.com/mobile/product.asp?itemid=64

    Insane home Water/meth injection...

    Lol no but if you made the tank a separate piece then you could. Then just bolt it in.

    Insane home Water/meth injection...

    I was thinking of a stainless or aluminum fuel cell. Maybe mounting it where the pioneer rack used to be (I'm not bobbing mine). Between the frame rails is a good place I was thinking of also. I forgot where I saw it but there was a sealant that you could dump in a tank and roll the tank...

    Insane home Water/meth injection...

    I pretty much have the same plan you do on the paint. Everything but the cab and drive train will be removed. I may map out where I want to install a water tank and the pump while I'm in the process. I dunno. Too many ideas floating around in my head.

    Insane home Water/meth injection...

    Ya the sureflo will probably work. I haven't started this project either. Bout to strip my truck down for paint and body work in a month or so. I may or may not get to this one anytime soon.
