    Anyone interested in heavier duty hydraulic head button retaining clips?

    Agree. I think that's why mine wouldn't start after sitting 20 years. I recommend soaking with kroil or whatever before startup. But why do they sometimes fall off when the truck is being driven regularly? Debris in fuel? Chunk of filter media or even fibers maybe could wedge the plunger.

    Anyone interested in heavier duty hydraulic head button retaining clips?

    UPDATE (finally!) I finally have a lull in the machine shop, so I have one of my guys making the dies to bend the legs of the clips.

    Side of the road (again)

    Don't blame you, looks like a heck of a lot better place to be. I get out of here every chance I get in summer.

    Side of the road (again)

    Ditto. I'm not too far from your stomping grounds if you ever need a big shop, and I have some parts connections in Yuma too.

    I need to borrow an 87-89 USAF dual circuit master cyl. mount temporarily

    Try Jack. He rebuilds and sells the trucks, maybe he'd like to upgrade the brakes on the ones he sells. I know he's concerned about liability. You might mention me from El Centro, he might remember me. He has about 1000 deuces...

    2017 SoCal Summer Rally Aug, 4-6 Big Bear California San Bernardino Mtns. camping

    I'm good up to 90 in the deuce. After that, forget it. Not worth it. I could go west into the mountains and then north through them to avoid the heat but that will take even longer. I'd have to take Friday and Monday off just to get there and back.

    2017 SoCal Summer Rally Aug, 4-6 Big Bear California San Bernardino Mtns. camping

    I'm planning to come. Read about it on facebook from Bearret Pemberton. Not sure if I'll bring my deuce as it's about 8 hr drive and it will be triple digit temps for most of the trip.

    Spicer 3053 trans question possible problem

    My parts guy at work was able to find me all the bearings but it's less hassle to just get them from Tom.

    Spicer 3053 trans question possible problem

    No pics handy, but as I remember, pull out the drive shaft to the Tcase, pull the output flange off the trans, pull the main out the top.

    Spicer 3053 trans question possible problem

    I've been down this road. www.waterloospecialties.com which is m35-tom, a member here. I think you're looking at about $200 for a stock new main and 2nd. He also has instructions on his site, and I'm sure there are TMs out there as well. Main and 2nd can be changed with the trans in the truck...
