    Deuce Luxury Conversion

    copper can handle propane no problem - you have to be more careful if using compression fittings not to create a leak by over-tightening them. generally the regulator is at the tank, after that the system is only running about 1.5psi - since the pressure is so low the tubing size needs to be...

    Deuce Luxury Conversion

    propane is simple - you just have to take care with it and double/triple check for leaks. use the correct pressure regulator(s) and don't let tany of the pressure lines rub on anything. I would recommend using the gas-pex as the flex line is easy to use and the fittings are very easily leak...

    M35A3 power steering boost

    it's been stated in many threads - the regulator is not necessary for the deuces 120psi system. I believe there was even a maintenance update to remove it from the equipment.

    Bead Breaker

    those tires look too dry rotted to remount to me - even if they hadn't been damaged by the spoons.

    The deuce and the HOA....

    half of an empty deuces weight is on the front 2 tires. thats ~4000 lbs per tire durango's curb weight is 4400lbs so thats 1100 lbs per tire. my driveway can attest to the weight a deuce puts on the front tires.

    Heat

    I actually like the 12,500btu model that has a connection for the defrost. imo the core in the stock cab heater is a good one, just needs a newer fan to move the air. the fan on mine is pretty pathetic and noisy.

    Why are front rims positive offset?

    while running a dish out increases bearing and joint load that is not that actual reason for the deep offset. The real reason has to do with suspension geometry and scrub radius. the higher the scrub radius the harder it is to steer and the more feedback you get from everything. Scrub radius...

    Whistler turbo vs. Non-whistler turbo

    i have a whistler now, my plan is to swap for a D and run that untill it fails then swap to a more efficient modern water cooled turbo with wastegate. i drive it enough that even with a muffler the screaming on the highway gets old. with a muffler its quiet enough around town to not be an...

    Will a deuce run on refrigeration oil?

    based on the MSDS sheet i'd say that it should be safe to run.

    Will a deuce run on refrigeration oil?

    imo the MSDS sheet would be my first stop to see how dangerous the stuff is if inhailed.

    Coolant in oil, can it be separated?

    someone else will have to answer than one - my setup is just a heated tank with 3 stages of filtration including a racor water seperator.

    Would there be any interest in an all Stainless steel brake line kit for a deuce?

    this was my plan - a premade kit would be nice. but i have more time than money FedHill Brake Line - Where to buy brake line, fuel line, brake line flaring tools, brake line nuts and brake line fittings then just have to figure out the fittings for the braided flex lines

    Coolant in oil, can it be separated?

    the easiest way to remove the water is to heat the drum of the mixture and let the coolant/water settle to the bottom then drain it off.

    Dual mass flywheel

    only dual mass flywheels I've ever seen were for high RPM applications. the purpose being to lighten the rotating mass. the "dual" portion comes in because you don't want aluminum as your friction surface so an inlay of iron is used.

    Is this starter gear and/or fly wheel toast?

    sounds like the solenoid is a bit sticky or weak - the teeth don't look too bad but i would get the cause sorted out before things get worse.
