Okay, some reason I thought 800 series had the mf. Thanks for pointing that out. Shows what I know about 5 tons!! Lol.

I plan on painting my truck sometime this summer. I like the nice paint jobs, but my hard driving doesn't usually permit it for very long. In MI I drove on some trails that were a bit narrow and the trees scratched the poo out of my truck. Backing into a tree at night didn't help neither lol! I...

What if you are getting too much fuel? Doesn't a non turbo engine usually have a higher adjustment of fuel compared to one with the turbo? I noticed, when Shawn drives his truck, there is a lot of smoke, mostly gray color with black. I wonder if the engine isn't choking or running to rich when...

Wmo=waste motor oil. Most garages won't give their oil away because of liability and insurance. You can ask, I tried the smaller shops, asking the owners if I can buy their waste oil, only found two out of ten that would. Also try farmers who own their own trucks and such, they usually have a...

I left the intake loose, but yet, the exhaust manifold still wouldn't go on, it was bumping the intake, it would come really close to fitting but not quite. I wonder if it would be easier with two people to get lined up with all the bolts.

I would get a newer, updated alternator. They are cheaper than the military ones and you find alternators with higher amps as well. I got an AC Delco 24 volt for three fifty. I had to have a custom bracket fabricated but it was worth it. Plus you get a warranty and most local auto outlets can...

Denny, The guy that looked them said they didn't need to be planed but was concerned about the exhaust valve since the aluminum was bad in their. He got them cleaned up and it was good to go. I was surprised by how fast it was done and it was less than a hundred bucks!! Small local garage, he...

Well, I started my reassembly today. I got two sleeves swapped out, and two pistons installed. I baught a ring compressor from Advanced Auto Parts and it was actually big enough to do the job. I used Ultra slick on my bearings and pistons for easy installation. I put my heads back on and torqued...

It just may be one of those cases where you'll never where or how. It's scary and can keep ya on edge while drivin though.

Glad to see you got your truck fixed. I have all the parts I need now, so tomorrow is my day off and thats what I will be doing. How long did it take you to reassemble? I plan on this being an all day project as I will be taking my time and cleaning, oiling everything as I go.

What is your intended purpose for the Deuce? Just curious. I kept dual on mine. Seems to get more traction that way. I watched the SS videos on Youtube, the rally in Durham town I believe it is, the A2 with the tandem and duals vs the A3 with the tandem and super singles, going up a steep hill...

Take and post some pics of the truck if you can. A video would be awesome too!! We all love to see trucks of any sort and condition. Hope the best of luck to you.

I would agree the Bars stop leak does work well. Could always start the truck and see for yourself, if it starts overheating idling, if not you could possibly drive it, but you risk doing more damage with no indicators until it's to late. If he is not far, see if you can fix it there, I just...

I would buy it for that price. Parts are reasonable especially from other members. I am currently overhaulin my motor and so far it's been fairly easy compared to more updated vehicles. It takes time but it's worth it. Not sure how much the winch will cost to replace/fix. I seen a lot of winch...

Looks like a nice truck. It does only look like one flat. Hopefully the spair is good. Definitely want to bring a 3/4 drive set in case you have to change out a tire and at least a six ton bottle jack. I noticed in the pic, it looks like a leak under the front, don't know if it's from that truck...

Yes lots of work. I didnhave issues with runs. I learned a lot from working at Menards for six years, found a lot of unconventional ways to do things, being more efficient and saving money. A lot of tips from contractors and product reps. Thats why I used the brush, you keep swiping the brush...

Yeah I know, I'm a redneck. . . Always gerry riggin stuff. Lol. Was going to use duct tape but that didn't work so. . . I'm kidding GAWD!! LOL. Seriously though, I plan on getting the washers since I'm overhauling my truck, figure its time to do it right while it's apart.

Also check out the thread " what to look for in a Deuce " in this forum. It may give you more info if you haven't already. If you don't mind me asking, how much does the owner want for his truck? Also, the youtube videos, " so you want to own a Deuce " are fairly informative as well if you...

I would see what other members are located around you and see if they can look at it with you or see if you can take a bu h of pics of the truck and post them.

If the current owner is asking a cheap price, then you can't go wrong if the rest of the truck seems to be in decent shape. I didn't really think about it, but Porky is right on the truck pulling, it's a risk, but I'm sure you will figure things out and find the safest way to do it, if you buy it.
