    deuce wont start.

    There is a "valve" behind that spring. Try and get it out. Be careful ! It is "Lap" fitted to this bore, so if you loose the valve you will need to replace the Hydraulic Head. So James we're "friends" now ? ;) Good to know.

    Put on your thinking caps. Oil leaking

    Did you ever check the cam plug ? It can rot out and then start to leak. Also there are several NPT plugs back there that could possibly be the culprit. Could it be your transmission oil leaking ? The rear oil seal is not the only thing keeping back oil.

    Uses for Deuces

    I've been meaning to do that to my truck. What size pipe did you use ? Also where did you attach the "stay" lines too ? The back of the bed ? A few more pictures of your front hoist system would be nice and appreciated ! Thanks.

    Stuttering/starving at acceleration - ideas

    First off, completely taking apart a mechanical device and "replacing" or "repairing" damaged parts. Then putting it all back together is called "Rebuilding" ! That is what I did. As far as never installing them, you know this how ? Why in the world did I do this if I didn't need it for one of...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I wished you still had a few more of those lights to sell ! I bought a couple and stashed them away. Now I cann't find them !

    what cordless tool are you using to get your lug nuts off

    Yes. All M18 size tools will except all M18 batteries, though the smaller tools handle weird with a large battery hanging off it.

    what cordless tool are you using to get your lug nuts off

    Here's a couple of pictures of my little Milwaukee Impact tool family. The twelve amp hour batteries make a huge difference in performance.

    what cordless tool are you using to get your lug nuts off

    After I came back from trade school I lived with my parents for a year. I was working at IHC in Seattle. One day after coming home from work I saw my father and brother outside working on his old beater Dodge. When I came over they wherein the process of hitting my "Snap-On" breaker bar with a...

    Stuttering/starving at acceleration - ideas

    If you had read the original complaint you would have seen this mechanic had "messed" with the injection pump. Did he try and adjust the "Droop" screw ? Who knows. What I had wrote about was a valid troubleshooting option. As far as having my nose in the TM's and having never worked on an...

    Stuttering/starving at acceleration - ideas

    Not true. The "Droop" screw plays an important role. Just look at the "G" injection pump which does not have a FDC. It has a "Droop" screw and it needs to be adjusted properly (picture 2) . Common sense would tell you if a screw is mounted to the main "Fulcrum" then it must have an impact on the...

    what cordless tool are you using to get your lug nuts off

    In just the last few years, the electric impact manufactures (especially Milwaukee) have designed really great impacts with abilities that now rival air impacts. I own one of the first "corded" electric impacts from Milwaukee. It's a nice tool, but not much power. Now the "cordless" ones from...

    what cordless tool are you using to get your lug nuts off

    Well personally I don't like abusing my tools, so I will be using the correct tool (1" impact) to remove my lug nuts with. Of course I've seen a lot of "hillbilly" mechanics use all kinds of tools to perform jobs they where never meant to. It's a free country (at least for now) so do what you...

    what cordless tool are you using to get your lug nuts off

    Geared multipliers are a great tool, but you must use a manual breaker bar or ratchet to use on them. Almost everyone says to "not" use an impact wrench on them. In fact I've never seen a multiplier that allowed using a impact wrench on it.

    Does anyone know why my pictures come out as "attachments" or "Scans" ? The pictures used to come out, now you have to click on the link.

    Did your mechanic adjust the "High Speed Screw" ? Also the "Droop" adjustment plays a role as does the "Stop Plate" . This might help.

    Allison 545 into M35A2 mounting question

    That's pretty impressive ! Engine swaps usually involve a lot of R&RD. Replace and Re-Design !

    Deuce clutch replacement

    I've had good luck with Harbor Freight's transmission jacks. I have both the medium and heavy duty models.
