    Tom's Overdrive kit

    Yea sad that Tom is slowing down and looks like a great product. Think most are stepping up to 5 tons and all the newer stuff 939 series and FMTV's plus seems like Deuce owners are ok with using the Deuce for local stuff and not worried about higher highway speeds. I still have two Deuces but...

    M915A1 Air Valve leaking,please help :D

    Agree on the up grade to air ride seats. I did not like the fact that if the cooler leaked it would put coolant into the fuel. Also forget but if I remember for every 10* in fuel temp we loose 2% HP.

    M915A1 Air Valve leaking,please help :D

    My 915A1 had the fuel line heat transfer thing. If I remember there are coolant line fittings on the back side. Since we want cool fuel maybe it was put there to prevent gelling? I never liked it and was going to remove it but sold the truck. Can't help with the valve.

    starting question

    Remember just because the in tank sounds like it is working does not mean it is pumping fuel. Happens when the bottom plates fall out sounds good but no cigar. You could just try and leave the master on longer or in tank run longer before you hit the starter. You can also check for air at the...
