I was think this same thing while reading the thread, but perhaps I have my facts wrong? I think I have decided to go with DOT 3 for my truck, this time. Its likely that I will be back into my brakes again at a later date, I may decide to go with DOT 5 then. The only thing left to do...

I wrote up a decent collection of info on this topic, I will quote myself and hopefully you can find it helpful. The original post can be found here: HERE I hope that you find this to answer some of your questions. :)

Well, I was out at the Deuce and I spotted, without a doubt, the source of my problem. It looks like when I adjusted my brakes before leaving Cali I made a mistake, and this caused the wheel cylinder to hyper extend, and that is the source of my whole entire problem. Wow. I have a spare...

All very helpful links! Thank you!

I have the hub separate from the drum, just need to press out the studs, so I think I just about have it. Just want to make sure there was nothing stupid I was missing. I found the TM I needed, so I need to read some more about what type of grease and how much grease to use between the...

Thank you, that was exactly the guide I had been looking for. I had just wanted to see if I was missing anything doing it from memory, seems I had it mostly right.

My brakes are.... Disassembled finally :p Its amazing how difficult jobs like that are when you have a bad back and lack an engine hoist. (I need to invest in one of them) I have some work to do on the engine before I squirt water in. To do that I have to get the 40 gallons of WMO out of the...

Im still planning to build it, I just have a few things to do first. I was surprised when I come back after like, 3 months, and no one had done this yet!

Not one to necro-post often, but did you get your truck yet? Has anyone tried this? This is just one of my favorite custom ideas.

Thank you! For some reason I thought it was 2 gallons of Dot 5, and the place I checked they wanted $120 for a gallon. I panicked a bit! I know once upon a time there was a page I found that had awesome pictures showing the whole process of flipping the hubs, I wanted to review it before I...

First off, Hi everyone! I been away from the forum for a few months while dealing with some stuff in my life. Seems every time I log in I have a burning desire to spend money! Im on track with my savings to purchase my house in June, and I have a bit of extra money so I put the Deuce on...

I been reading the TMs, hadn't found the one for the injector pump, so thank you!

Thats a SICK truck, I would love pictures of where you put these grease fittings, thats a fancy idea! I would also be interested in seeing a video of your truck in the deep mud. Also like the shortened stock bed, as aposed to the trailer bed. Most importantly, welcome to the site.

Many people with 400 horsepower hottrods get their shafts professionally extended (Lol, wow.....) and have no problems. Why are you so concerned about this procces?

All I had ever heard was that the 6.2 was absolute garbage, and that the lower ends would ALWAYS spider-crack. This was an interesting read to be sure! (Hopefully future CUCV owner)

On the subject of learning, could you point to me which TM I need to read that relates to the injection pump? I am still trying to learn the layout of the TMs, and I know I need to better understand my injection pump. Is a droop screw just like an idle adjustment screw?

This is not a sarcastic question, or supposed to be inflammatory, but is that a bad thing? Heath posted up a THEORETICAL idea for a water injection idea that both has some awesome math info, and I plan to turn his theory into reality once I have a chance. (I know very little about what an...

Im so glad to hear that it was not Hydrolocked! I bet that when it started you had a HUGE moment of relief. Im with Heath on this one. If you have the time, I would almost suggest swapping the starters, to see the results. Rebuilds can fail prematurely for any number of reasons. I have...

You specified sitting for a while, its possible that your loosing the prime, and or air is getting sucked up. (My truck has the same issue, this is what I am planning to do in order to fix the problem.) -All brand new filters and gaskets -Remove the in-tank pump, check the hose, make sure...

Great looking truck! If your off-road lights use H3 bulbs I would recommend getting some 24v H3s to replace the original 12v ones. 70 watt 24v H3s are only a few dollars at Napa, or I have been told you can order 100 watt 24v H3s online for about $5 each. I would also recommend removing...
