Hey Freightrain, I woult make a test to see if the oil preasure gauge is working properly. It may have good oil preasure at the engine, not at the gauge. I did adjust the oil preasure on my Cat 3406 years ago by installing Shims in the oil preasure releif valve. Don't know exactly how on yours...
I took my Deuce for a ride today and thought about your problem. I was wondering if the Low speed Govenor is not working properly. It could affect the engine performance when engine is not Under a Load. When at idle and U let the clutch out when in gear do not touch the accelorator. Can U hear...

Recovery4x4 I am old and Slow,I beleive u can use the wood blocks on Tire Side, and let the wheel drop strait dow. Keeping everything even and strait helps so tire does not Bind as it comes off. Good luck, Phil

OK, after removing ring, breaking the bead on other side of rim . place a 6-8inch square block about the span of the rim, lay rim down on block and let gravity drop tire off rim. Just guide the Valve stem as tire comes off the rim. Most...
I beleive the vents for diff. may close automaticly when in water. Some vents work to let preasure out, but not in.I have had the opport. to drive a Mv into 6ft of water, to the point I stood on the seat. Made it all the way accross the water. !!!
Thatvalve is used for Deep Water Fording. It's been over 40 years since Motor Transport School, and I cannot remember exactly what it is for. I know there is a plug to install in the bell housing and all other deep fording gear must be in place. high exhaust, air cleaner adapt., and maybe it...
This is one of those things that even a Proffessional Mechanic would be pulling hair!U must get the extractor out, then try heat, then as last resort, drill through the bolt and retap for larger bolt. good luck, Phil
Open the pet cock on fuel filters and drain and check for water, or any other contamminants. Just crack the bleeder valves and start the truck and see if air or fuel comes out. Good luck. Phil

Boatcarpenter, I got to get back to U on this. I still want to get some guys together this summer. Sounds like lots of interested people around. Lets get rid of some Snow first!! Phil
I got to agree with Tacticaltruck on the fender straps. While in V.N., I remember Welding the fenders because they would crack on the edge because of rough roads, heavy loads and the weight of the Air Cleaner on the fender. One more problen I rember was the Flange on the Exhaust pipe at the...
How about a photo ID that is clear enough to be accepted by GL!? My Id was 1 day old and was denied by gl. If I have filed 6-8 Eucs, why not GL keep a Photo ID in our files for future Business? Sounds too simple! Hurry up and wait. Phil
