    Up in Smoke - Not the movie, my alternator

    Is there a chance some sort of fuse or something could be retrofitted into the alt so as not to melt itself?

    Has anyone tried to fit this pump in?

    Yeah...but the "old" pump "worked". The point I'm trying to make is that the old pump isn't much of a pump...look at it. Crudely manufactured, wide open tolerances, not sealed, and it fell apart...I had to screw it back together (in my '70 thread). I suspect if the lift pump doesn't keep up...

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    Connected or up against an immovable object, my LDS will dig 6 holes in low with no throttle input. Has some pretty serious grunt.

    Up in Smoke - Not the movie, my alternator

    Well...looks like I made the wrong decision, especially living in a hot desert. Next time, I'll make the right one. I'll see if there's not one or two relatively simple things I can do to try to keep this stock one cooler. Somewhere here I read that a rebuilder commented on how heavy duty and...

    Up in Smoke - Not the movie, my alternator

    Hello, gents. As mentioned in the thread for my '70 (that will hopefully soon be my first fully operational deuce), the alternator completely melted down before I got the truck. I looked into rebuilding it with parts from Erik's military surplus, but so much was damaged, parts cost more than a...

    Has anyone tried to fit this pump in?

    The Parkers seem to produce more pressure more other's experience, and definitely in mine. Yes, I know it has a booster pump... Floridianson asked earlier in the thread : So that's my answer: yes - 10psi across the board.

    Anyone interested in heavier duty hydraulic head button retaining clips?

    AZK9, you're doing good, but I'd like to keep this thread related to making new clips. I can get them made pretty affordably it looks like, but is it worth it? You guys who have the most experience in and around deuces..how often does just the clip and button fall off? On mine, the tapered...

    Has anyone tried to fit this pump in?

    No, I got a Parker. The ones pictured are the old one(s) from my '62 and '70. The one from the '70 makes noise and flow but no pressure. It's kind of a joke of a pump, wide open tolerances made from stamped aluminum plates. The new Parker is a true pump, with a turbine style impeller that seals...

    Has anyone tried to fit this pump in?

    I just got mine. I run a machine and welding shop where we rebuild pumps, so I know a little about them. This pump is far superior to my old pump, which is more of a mixer than a pump. I have a pressure gauge on my filter housing and will report back pressures engine off/running idle/at speed.

    Anyone interested in heavier duty hydraulic head button retaining clips?

    OK, I'll start the ball rolling. I need to pull apart a junk IP for a sample.
