    Shop that rebuilds mulitifuel injector pump

    No, its going to be a week or 2 before I can get everything back together. Waiting on some gaskets from White Owl and my schedule will only allow a few hours of work on the deuce for the next week or 2.

    Shop that rebuilds mulitifuel injector pump

    I have been flooded with inquiries as to what shop rebuilt my Ambac injector pump for my LDT465-1D. As far as I'm aware they can rebuild any injector pump they can get parts for except Caterpillar. Sorry A3 guys. They also rebuild injectors, turbo chargers, and magnetos. They GUARANTEE...

    Air temp vs breaks?

    Just because you don't see brake fluid running down the back of a wheel doesn't mean your wheel cylinders aren't leaking. All 4 of my rear wheel cylinders were bad but there wasn't a drop of brake fluid outside of the hubs.

    Brakes Draining air tanks

    If it isn't an air line issue I would look at the air pak.

    Deuce road tractor conversion

    I would agree. Stiffer springs would beat you to death without a trailer.

    Deuce Over Heated Today. Low On Coolant?

    It is normal to loose coolant over time but not that fast. What color is your exhaust smoke? You may need a new head gasket and not even realize it.

    buying a deuce

    You should be fine with a good goose neck and a one ton or bigger truck as the tow vehicle.

    buying a deuce

    $1500 will turn into much more real fast. Then again that can happen with a more expensive truck.

    buying a deuce

    No title no deal. Since it is a non-runner and it doesn't have a bed I'm tempted to say pass on this truck. No fuel to the injectors can mean anything from a bad in tank fuel pump to having a bad injector pump. Which means the fix can get expensive. However, his asking price is pretty fair...

    startup issue?

    Will the booster pump draw fuel from the tank? Absolutely. There are many people, such as yourself, who have a non-functional in tank pump. As long as the system stays primed its no big deal. However, if you change filters or spring any form of air leak in the system it becomes difficult to...

    startup issue?

    Keep in mind the booster pump can cavitate if it is not fed a steady stream of fuel. The booster pump is designed to pressurize the system to about 75psi. Not draw fuel from the tank.

    Main switch?

    You are correct. But, it sounds like he was describing the main power swtich to me.

    startup issue?

    You should be getting 5-7psi from the in tank pump. If it is just dribbling out and there are no major leaks then it would seem a new pump would be in order. The $50 egay pump seems to be a popular one. Better made and a drop in fit. The price is great too.

    Anyone add a Track Bar to their lifted Bobber?

    70psi? Air them things down to 35 or 40 psi and report back. When I switched my truck over to 395's it drive a little squirly until I dropped the air pressure from 45 to about 35psi. Much better now.

    Might buy a deuce!

    You are definately NOT looking at a duece. Sounds like you found an m925. These are 5 ton trucks and may require (in most cases) a CDL to drive. They are great trucks just be aware of what your getting into with this one.

    Low Oil Pressure

    Is 30 psi the max it ever build to? Has it always done this? Have you verified your oil pressure with a mechanical guage?

    Thinking about getting an M35A3

    You pretty much covered the bases with your original post. If you were to get an a3 you can mount 395's to stock a3 wheels no problem. Thats exactly the tire/wheel combo I'm running on my a2. An a3 with 395's may achieve 55mph going down hill. My a2 on 395's will go 63-65ish all day long...

    m35a2 front wheel cylinder

    Mark bought 4 for his bobber from napa about 6 minths ago. They fit and functioned just fine. Be aware that what you get may or may not be U.S. made. 2 of the ones we got were USA made and 2 were chinese.

    startup issue?

    Shouldn't take more than 30 seconds to a minute to fill the primary and secondary filters. If you have flow to the orimary but not to the secondary check the fuel line that runs under the radiator to see if it got crushed somehow. If that looks ok pull your in tank pump and make sure it is all...

    Why 2650rpm max?

    Exactly. Along with the added bonus of parts being available at any large truck parts store.
