There is a hole in my radiator neck under the cap where the coolant can expand and escape. There is not a tube or reservoir of any kind to collect the coolant so it can return to the radiator as it cools. Dumb questions - assuming I want an expansion tank: is there a reason not to have an...

I am trying to get injection pump off truck. I think I have everything undone - but the injection pump pulley boss has to come off. I have a (harmonic balancer) puller firmly attached to the boss with a screwdriver jammed in behind the puller to keep the pump from turning but I think it is...

My truck has sat for 5 years with infrequent starts. Gradually it would start and run only with the throttle idling the truck up. i changed all fuel filters and they were full of sludge/ bacteria poop/ nastiest crap ever. I pulled the tank and pump. Cleaned all with acetone and pressure...

A couple years ago the truck stopped running - from what appeared to be a snapped quill shaft in the Injection Pump. Over the course of a confused year or so I bought a NOS injection pump and gave it my best to install it. Well, my best wasn't good enough. Truck was extremely hard to start...

I am looking for a diesel shop or individual within limping distance of Alvin, TX (just south of Houston) that is willing to work on the deuce. I need my truck gone through after installing an injection pump - poorly, apparently. Truck is way down on power and runs poorly. Thanks in advance!

Recently installed a new IP. Truck doesn't seem to want to start as easy as it used to but it starts in 1-2 seconds. Previously any bump of the starter no matter how short would start the truck. I set the idle speed and truck is happy. Not sure what its idling at since the tach is flaky but...

Ive had the truck for many years and it NEVER has failed to start. Until recently after sitting for a few weeks. Truck will run for a bit on starter fluid. Loosened the bleed on the drivers side filters. Fuel comes out with power on. Changed the fuel filters on the drivers side because...

I am finally getting around to fixing a leaky wheel cyllinder on the rear axle. Of course I cannot fix anything without breaking something else in the process. While removing the brake line from the cylinder, I tweaked the line and it sheared at the fitting. I would like to cut the line...

Went off road in a field in Pasadena (Houston-ish) area. Ended up stuck pretty good. Thought my front axles were pulling but seems that they weren't even though I had the switch locked in. SO - anyone want to come help give me a tug or have any ideas? I can't winch out because the winch is...

Its the best vehicle I've EVER had. :) I even took it to the Mexican Phone Company last night for some Taquitos and Nachos.

Saw a pretty cool truck on Fleabay today - it had a passenger bench seat with two sets of seatbelts. It looked military and like it belonged in the truck. Are these common enough to have a chance of finding them? I'd really like to take my two small children with me on rides and not have...

Replacing the j pipe on my turbo deuce with a good used one and found the remnants of a gasket between the flex pipe just after the turbo and the j-pipe. Ive never seen gaskets used on v-band setups before. If I do not replace the gasket between the flex pipe and the j-pipe, will the v-band...

First, please go easy on me for not searching. I was not able to find a brake thread that quite explained what I am experiencing with the brakes on my Deuce and I definitely want to get this right. As much as driving the truck brings a smile to my face... sometimes the brakes nearly scare...
