I'm working feverishly to get my deuce back together, but there's still a chance it won't be done... So close, but I keep taking more stuff apart. aua I decided to replace the last two rubber coolant hoses - the ones that go to the heated intake manifold - so I have the two coolant manifold...

I have a Wright Tools 30" breaker bar... It demands respect, stuck fasteners fear it's awesome power. It shears off anything it can't loosen.

Man that looks great. That three color is my favorite camo paint job, too.

I think if it were me, I would not try to replace the leaking exhaust manifold gasket while on the road. What if a stud breaks? I would want to do that kind of work right here in my shop. Plus you'll waste a day and wreck your back. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the only...

Fantastic! How bad is that rust? Looks like mostly just surface rust... Any body rot / cancer? The body is the important thing... cabs, fenders, or anything else can be replaced. Good save. I love seeing rare trucks get purchased by collectors. Regards, Jon

Why, Will? What makes your silicone hose better than mine? It's been on there for a year and a half. Surely oil will not dissolve the silicone, and there's no pressure or mechanical stress there... Explicar por favor.

It's 1-1/4" I.D. Comes in 3' lengths at NAPA, which is just right.... Then you'll have a dangler like me and maddawg!

Fascinating. I went through the same thing with one of my bearings... despite perfect bearing and race, it stayed hotter than the rest. Re-checked adjustment, tried looser and tighter... all the same. So I decided to "run it". It did not get worse, it just ran consistently hot. I checked...

NAPA also has silicone hose.... Overkill perhaps but I know I'll never have to replace it. When I told them the hose was for a turbo oil drain line it's what they recommended to stand up to the heat, though I'm sure the regular hose will last for years. Jon

sacrebleu!

...makes trucks look like they have jaundice... :lol:

Here's something that will keep it from happening again until you get new bushings...

A rubber line I assume?

Dave Walker has 'em... I dunno how much but he is always reasonable, takes credit cards and ships anywhere in the U.S. Walker Auto & Truck Wrecking (760) 244-8060 If you get and answering machine leave a message, he'll call back. Regards, Jon

Since the shoes aren't worn, just follow the adjustment procedure in the TM. It's easy and will make it work great. There are several adjustment points and they are checked one at a time in sequence with feeler gages. There's a good chance you've lost some parts down there, too... There's...

I don't recognize that axle at all... Is it a Rockwell? What are the modifications? Looks like disc brakes, too? I do recognize the flipped hub though, and it's obvious that either your outer seal or the cork keyway seal has failed which has allowed gear oil to mix with the hub grease...

It's common / normal for the t-case to be noisy... Out of the 6 I've encountered, I have yet to hear a quiet one! Mine has a distinctive whine to it, especially when decelerating. Are you certain it has gotten louder lately, or did you simply not hear it before? I'd certainly check / change...

Dave Walker has M105 data plates but not A2...

Where were all these flat-towing nay-sayers when I was posting questions about recovering my V-18A/MTQ with my deuce? 8) I towed it 180 miles on the freeway, and it handled like a dream. I had towing lights and big safety chains. But if the 5-ton is a lot heavier I wouldn't know how it would...

yes Yes YES!!! That's MY kind of project... LOVE those Screamin' Jimmies! I've got a 6-71N in my 5 ton tractor... it's a tight fit lengthwise, I have a doghouse cover in the cab. You won't have trouble there being 2 less cylinders long but width will be an issue... you'll probably have to...
