    Where is the Vin# on my Deuce????

    I've never had any issues with providing the DMV with a digital photo. You should be able to do a rubbing of the data plate.

    Broken start bolt

    I went to town today. For the fun of it, I went to the Chevy dealer first. The long bolt is obsolete(none in stock). I then went to the local starter rebuilder. He didn't have a new one in stock and had no old diesel mt27 starters to rob one from. He is going to order a few. He buys these...

    Broken start bolt

    I did(incorrectly). I noticed the TM says to disconnect both battery negative terminals, but I had disconnected the front negative and the rear positive. Before I proceed, I'll disconnect the rear battery negative.

    I had considered doing the same. I have other vehicles to drive, so no need to.

    Broken start bolt

    I just went out and decided to try removing the long bolt(broken). I first removed the support bracket, then I was able to break loose the long bolt. Next I removed one starter bolt. I then held the starter up and removed the second bolt, and slid the long bolt out. I then lined up the...

    Broken start bolt

    This just happened to me today as well. There was rust dust visible at the nut. I know I have retightened it before. This time, it broke. Already have new starter bolts in the spares box. I may just lower it down and try to replace the top motor bolt without removing the wires. If I have...

    How to grease the short drive shaft between trans an xfer case?

    No. You simply push it into the ball of the zerk, then pump. One like in the pic below.

    Help identifying parts

    Fuel fired intake heater. Cold start system. Your truck without it probably has an ether start kit upgrade. No, you not need it. If you looked through either of the parts TMs, you might have found it by simply looking at the pictures. Those TMs end with -P. Also, either should be...

    If the price was right, I'd be on it like a hobo on a ham sandwich. No disrespect to hobos or ham were meant in the comment above.

    Brake problem

    Bolt?, The hole is pipe thread.

    Stupid newbie, the sticky's are there for a reason.

    You will burn out the starter with 24v supplied to either the solenoid or the motor(right now you are doing both). Both need to be modified to use a 12v starter. You also need the support bracket. Every time you start it, you may brake it(without it). Direct drive and gear reduction starters...

    Stupid newbie, the sticky's are there for a reason.

    Are you saying your friend had a 24volt starter? That is luck. If you installed a 12v starter, you need to make some wiring changes or it will be dead soon(they don't last long on 24v). If it is 12v, you don't need the underdash relay at all, just a jumper from purple to purple w/white...
