One thing that needs to be on the list, when you are getting a new-to-you Deuce road ready, is checking the rear suspension. Dog bone (torsion bar) rubber bushings to ensure they won't fall off, and also the pivot point for the rear tandem axle assembly - the trunnion. Trunnion wear, play...

@tommys2patrick yes, there is one thread called "all this for a freeze plug??" in the listing - and it is because when that freeze plug blows, you essentially do a head gasket job! Maybe replacing these while the heads are off is a really good insurance!

Replace the short coolant hoses while you have the intake and water passages off. Have gasket material on hand to make new gaskets for things you run into removing. I agree with the discipline needed to only to what needs to be done, but that decision is yours. I tend to try and knock out the...

Simple things first. Did the shutoff get stuck? https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/deuce-no-start-have-gone-thru-a-few-steps-already.211192/ Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

Nice score if the price was right! And a recovery needs drama - not too much, just enough, otherwise, what's there to talk about? Any Joe can simply tow a truck home! Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

With the air shift transfer case, I suggest to engage while the wheels are not turning. Disengaging while moving is safe. It is like many things -if it is not your truck, if it is fixed by the motor pool at someone else's expense, the truck "can do" a lot of things. When it is your truck that...

Not sure what you refer to as "bottom nut". The canister housing has an interior threaded sleeve that is attached to the bottom of the canister, for the top bolt to grab and pull the canister up into the sealing o ring. Your canister seems to have been welded up at the bottom at some point...

Time for those little airbags that semi truck cabs use? Hitherto unknown luxury ensues! Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

Aftermarket (New Star) wheel seals can cause the hub to run hotter. Before ripping it apart again, back off the nut another quarter turn, feel wheel play and give it another shot. Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

You are gaining a ton of extra room there up front. Is that a stock tandem axle chassis or lengthened? Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk
