A well lubricated truck is a good thing. Just not lubricated with alcohol ! :shock:

I was referring to the ability of the relief valve to handle high pressure to relieve the system of the high pressure grease, thus preventing blowing out the seal. As far as the ability of the grease to go all over the bearings with the low pressure of the relief valve. It is no different then...

I'm sorry if I ever made you feel stupid floridianson, that has never been my intent. In fact you are one of the most knowledgeable ones here on the fuel injection pump I've come across. Especially considering you never had factory training on pumps like I have had the opportunity to do. You...

OK, I agree that my "pressure greaser" was more then likely the culprit here. But it can happen. Also my system did not have that felt washer you mentioned. Maybe it was decided by the military to delete it, or the last soldier putting it back together forgot it. Who knows. The whole point of...

I knew I had these pictures somewhere. Here is what happened to me greasing my trunnion bearings. This seal is rubber, "NOT" felt like Gerhard said. I bought this truck right off of "Fort Lewis" so it was never in civilian hands until me. That means the military installed this seal. That...

It can get damaged when jacking up the truck, or hitting an object when off-roading. Personally I don't think that would ever happen, well maybe the jacking up the truck part could.

When I first did mine, I used my "Lincoln Power Grease Pump". I should have paid more attention but I just sat there holding down the switch and that thing pumped in grease like crazy. Before I knew it, it had blown out the seal completely !!!! I tried to "push" the seal back but it was...

Well I did think before posting. I blew out that seal when I first did the conversion. Without the "relief" the seal blew out like a cork in a bottle of seltzer when I was pumping in the grease. So why in the world would you say to me "think before posting" ? You got something to say to me ? Or...

Glad to help. It's also good to know that the company "Zerksplus.com" has them now. Thanks for sharing that information.

No. The seal would get blown out due to the pressure of the grease. You need a way for the grease to escape to prevent that. The hole also needs to be closed during use or crap will get in there. That's why I went with a pressure relief valve. No worries about removing the plug and then...

The last post here was mine showing the relief vent I installed. I bought them from www.oringsandmore.com . They are called "1/4-1 PSI Top Vent Relief" plugs.

Yes. Except the relief valve is a high pressure grease relief valve. I cannot remember where I bought them, but if you look-up "high pressure grease relief valve" you should find them. They cost about $5.00 each.

There should be a threaded hole with a pipe plug in it. Your suppose to remove the plug, install a grease zerk and then lube it. Afterwards your suppose to remove the zerk and install the pipe plug. I installed a grease zerk in the cap and a pressure relief valve in the old plug hole.

Your going to want to remove the "U" bolts and possibly replace them. I drill out this hole area myself so that debris doesn't collect there anymore. This has always been a major problem area on all deuces. The bolts rust out due to all the debris holding moisture against the bolts. I have two...

That's exactly what I have come across. I have two 1952 gasser deuces and one 1954 and have been taking parts off them for years now. They say they are suppose to be the same but they lie ! You will find some bolts will fit and others you have to jog a bit or use a file and hog out the hole a...

It will fit. You might have to play with the bolt holes a little bit though. It's very heavy though. The last one I took out weighed around 250Ibs. That's just the trunnion bar with no brackets on. The bar is a solid piece of steel with the ends machined down.
