    Dual Exhaust For Deuce

    RE: Re: RE: Re: Dual Exhaust For Deuce She does okay. :) I'm about to make an attempt to bump just a couple more HP from the CAT (225hp and NO smoke like whatsoever now) for some of the longer uphill pulls with a towed load...aside from it's 9 ton heft. I'm a little concerned about the stock...

    Bigger Exhuast

    Yes, water injection can be used on diesels. I have to wonder about the main topic about the exhaust size increase. I'd think this would be more needed if there was any kind of restriction or baffle/muffler...but there isn't. For the size engine, no restrictions, and only 2800rpm...me thinks...

    odd motor swap/tranny idea

    RE: 70MPH,WOW!! The "318" is the non turbo horsepower 8V71 Detroit. Single turbo is usually rated in the upper 360hp range. I have one of these engines in my shop right now. It's roughly 40" long but that may vary just a tad from different rear housing or front accessories. It's definately a...

    Where can I find a 1410, 10-spline yoke??

    Call Jessie at High Angle Drive in CA. Most likely he'll have one. I've purchased 1410 fine spline yokes from him.

    Winch Operation

    The PTO has five (iirc) detents in it so you have a high neutral low neutral reverse. The transmission does not need to be in gear unless you're helping yourself out of a stuck. There should be one more shift position available in the PTO that you're not getting to. Visually check the PTO...

    So How About Heim Ends?

    After reading through a bunch of posts lately and knowing that loading up the trucks and going off road (to get somewhere not just wheeling) can overstress the rubber end links and pop them. So I ask, why not large Heim ends on a custom thickwall tube? I can surmise that the rubber helps...

    CAT 3208 demil

    RE: Re: RE: CAT 3208 demil Use your judgement on the flywheel housing. It looks like it wouldn't matter and you may only lose one bolt hole. I'd prolly run that piece. At least they didn't cut into stuff then start beating on it with the sledge hammer. If where the starter bolts on isn't...

    Are my springs in need of replacement?

    Mine are like that AND have some rust pushing out from between them. :( I have another set that I can put on...I just ree-hee-heeally don't want to do that job. ...or the friggin link ends that break my tools!

    Any one else want a .52 over drive? Less than a grand?!

    I'll have to talk the place again where I was at and get more details. Guy told me just range box changes would go from and RTO to RTOO and give you a .58:1 on the double over.

    Deuce bobbed w/ rear axle ?

    Correct. If a set of springs and hangers were added it would take up a longer area of frame than the tandem mount. I don't think concerns for frame strength are really necessary. It's not just the frame that's doing support...there's a complete frame under these beds too. The frames are fine.

    Deuce bobbed w/ rear axle ?

    If you have the 900-20's they're usually around 4,000Lbs a piece capacity...so there's 16,000Lbs max weight capacity dual wheels, single axle. Tandem rating on the rear axles is published at 28,000Lbs. Minus one gives you 14,000Lbs...IF it's allowably that simple. Truck weight in two axle...

    looking for Whistler Turbo

    My CAT V8 deuce is probably one of the loudest deuces on the planet. I thought I'd be slick and go with no muffler and even add a stack for nice true duals. Problem is my CAT is non-turbo. The turbo on a multifuel is actually, technically considers by some inspections laws as a "...muffling...
