First off, The TM's are your friend and remember you ARE dealing with split rims.:shock: Second you can get a combination budd/1 1/2 inch socket from NAPA for around $35. Third, If you can find a torque multiplier you will love it, I have a 4X multiplier and I only have to put in 92 FT LBS to...

Are you double cluthcing? Bringing your RPM's up?

Yup, Not a stupid people person I have been trying to do this one where I work but every time I suggest it my safety man turns a funny purple color,,,, Hey, They work on helecopters, If they are dumb enough to open up a GPU ( ground power unit) and electroucute themselves because there was not...

Lets see,,, $2Kish on the truck,, About $700 on torque rod bushings,, $200 or so for spin on oil filters adapters, Hope to be getting spin on fuel filters this week,,,,,,,,, Need parking brake cable, Need to adjust/service brakes and bearings,, And many more things to be done,,, BUT,,,,, She's...

Y'know, I am not much of a people person. Been burned one too many times as well as seen others kick sombody when they are down instead of offering a helping hand back up. Sarge and his story honestly gives me hope for all of us. thank you.

I sorta figured that one out Glcaines, Aint nothing like doing something stupid to increase ones education.:???: On a side note, I went to adjust my idle speed yesterday evening and found that my idle adjust screw is bent,,,, Oh well, At least I'll always have something to work on and keep...

Plym,, The only U joint that has any slop in it right now is the one coming out of the transfer case to the front axle on the transfer case side,,, I do spend almost as much time under her as I do driving her,, Hehe,, People tend to leave you alone when youre under a truck,,, Don't want to get...

Some more videos of the Deuce running The first video is of the deuce running about 800 RPM right after the low air buzzer shut off and the second one is after about a 10 mile drive. Engine is at 170F. One thing interesting, My idle fell from 800/900 RPM to 500/600 so I am going to have to turn...

Some more updates Ok,, This is the video I forgot to upload yesterday. The clanking noise is coming from the trans side of the clutch and the input shaft is not moving.

Yup Goatjoe,,,, As soon as I fix my flooor jack I'm pulling the trans, In the one vid I shot you can hear a nasty noise when I rock the shaft back and forth. Dang, I just realized I didn't put up the video of myself rocking the shaft back and forth,:roll: I'll do that this evening when I get home.

I have to admit I tend to ovverreact sometimes:roll:

Derby, Yes I just dumped my used oil in the fuel tank, I had about 20 gallons of diesel in there to start with and chased it with another 10 gallons. Then drove about 15 miles and topped it off with another 20. I was planning on my filters plugging up when I did this though. I just hadn't...

Peppy,, Do you have a truck parts place or heavy equipment place close to you? I had a U joint on my inter axle shaft go out. The cheapest I could find it online was about $40.00 not including shipping. I took into town (about 45 miles away) And the place I took it not only were able to identify...

Tex,, After we did the filters that night it idled around 800/900. The drop to 500/600 and running rough is what's pointing toward a fuel filter change as step one. When I was running it down the freeway I was darn careful of my RPM's did not let it get over 2300, 2200/50 MPH is plenty fast.

:grin::grin::grin: Oh,, And while I am thinking about it,,,THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR YOUR INPUT/ADVICE.:grin::grin::grin: She may be old beat up and rusty, But she's my baby.

Good question Plym, But it'd be worth it to try a known good injector to find out. It's not knocking in the video, It souds like it did when I first got it, Before I changed the fuel filters the first time.

Plym, I honesly don't think the oil/fiter change had much if any thing to do with it. If it IS a rod knock I bet it has more to do with it just being an old engine close to the end of it's lifespan that did not appretiate a couple of 100 mile road trips in one weekend. I didnt find anything...

And a bit more This is a shot of the engine, Honestly in this one it sounds pretty much normal. It hasn't been running long at all (Low air buzzer just quit) I did not hear the noise I though was a knock either.. The more I think about it I think/hope it's fuel related, I dumped my used engine...

And some more Ok,,, On Jacktonkas advice I pulled my clutch inspection plate and this is some of what I found,,,

Bit of an update,,, First right off,,, I want to make it as clear as possible that I am in NO WAY! claiming or saying Jaktonas adapter have anything to do with any problems i am expieriencing. If anyhing it's a 40+ year old engine that more than likely has had a hard life before I got it and if...
