    battery problem

    This is to glcarnes, I didn't think so but this TM is confusing . TM 9-2320-361-24-1 000300 says, " the batts are wired in series creating a 24 volt system. The batts are positively grounded directly to the chassis . The neg goes the the starter solenoid terminal .

    Hosed, Cab heater plumbing questions

    Got a question . I'm mounting my heater assy under the dash . I don't think this '66 deuce ever had a heater because there is no 4 inch hole thru the firewall or bolt holes in either fender apron. Anyway, where do I connect the two hoses to the engine ? There are two pipe plugs at the thermostat...

    Deuce turbo issues

    Hi guys . I have a deuce with a "D" turbo and would like to change to a "C" . I have a chance to buy a new one reasonably . Thing is, I don't know the difference by just looking . I finally found two pictures of both . Is the one with the Marmon clamp in the center the correct one ? Thanks .

    Brake issues....

    Like I said earlier, the truck had perfect brakes with a solid pedal and not much travel . Which leads me to believe that the brake shoe adjustment was ok . Just no air assist . When I bobbed it I replaced all wheel cylinders and checked the shoe adjustment , everything was fine . And, per TM, I...
