I like me my two piece combat rims. Ear protection, a 3/4 impact and let her rip. Most difficult part is cleaning the rim for reassembly and having new o rings on hand! Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

I am trying to say that compliance with the DOT (no overhang as per law) is not solving your transport problem, if the result of the compliant loading strategy is a Deuce with its front wheels off the ground. Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

The Deuce has a wheelbase of roughly 15ft. That is measured from the front hubs to mid-point between the tandems. The stock bed is roughly centered over the tandems, which is one reason why the Deuce gets "light" in front when overloaded. Essentially, any weight put into the bed goes onto the...

You essentially separate hub and brake drum, press the wheel studs out, flip the hub around and press the studs in from the other side; reassemble brake drum (and safety wire the bolts). That way, single rims will track correctly. You will need an extra set of "front" lug nuts for each wheel...

Thanks @Modiconman for taking the time to record a video of this. I can say that on my LDS the rear main seal carrier looks different; it is a distinct part that bolts to the rear of the block and has a paper gasket between it and the block. My carrier sticks out more than what you have there...

You are likely referring to the Sprag transfer case for front wheel engagement. If you have an air shift switch on the dash for front wheel engagement, this issue does not apply to your truck. Often, it is the "moustache" spring missing or disengaged that holds the brake shoes for the parking...

Try keeping the screws looser that hold the cover on and see if that fixes it! Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

My fight with the thimbles was a major factor in flipping the hubs and running singles.....the military had the right idea and converted quite a few. Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

First off, I have no clue. But I find adapting more modern parts to a 50 year old engine fascinating. I hope somebody has some insights! Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

Old thread - but WHAT @Gamagoat1 SAID!!!!

Does it leak on the exhaust side also? The "oil seals" or "shaft seals" are actually quite hard metal "slingers" that throw oil away from the shaft, rather than what one would think of when mentioning "shaft seals". If this was my truck, and it had started smoking after a lot of idling, I'd...

The smoking and the fuel shutoff not working, immediately suggest an alternative fuel source - i.e. crankcase oil. In most cases, leaky turbo oil seals allow the engine to suck oil into the intake through this pathway. If that is the case, closing off the air supply is the only way to stop the...

My Deuce kept puking oil down through the bell housing, especially after spirited runs. Typical was a "burp" after shutdown. She splattered a nice oil puddle in an IMPARK parking lot at work. Good girl. That's pretty much what I think of IMPARK. Clutch started slipping, so that was that...

Looks like an excellent score! Congrats! Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

Yes. I attached the good ol' Roscommon Equipment Center instructions

I seem to remember that this vent line was to be disconnected at the unit level because of issues. My truck had a mushroom axle breather installed on the cap of the master cylinder. Just disconnect that vent line, put the hose barb on the cap. Your remote reservoir lid is vented, so you are...

@HDN is absolutely correct. My tranny is out and I am waiting for hardware to put the flywheel and clutch back together.....always something! But that way, the PTO gets a new seal and boot!

Yes, 11.9 static is very low. This already low voltage will drop further rapidly into the 10V range when the starter tries to suck massive current. Now...why are the batteries low when the truck was running fine (and was probably driven the day before)? Alternator is charging? One needs to peek...

Check battery terminal connections to ensure they are tight, check battery voltage (each battery should be at 12.5 or thereabouts; if you measure across both, they should be well over 24V). Hook a charger to the batteries. They could simply be low. Yes, it could be a bad starter or starter...

Of course, that already invites suggestions for some modifications! - axle breathers: you can replace them with a hose barb and run a hose up to the frame or above, with a cheap in line gas filter at the end, to prevent water entry. No more issues with sticky axle breathers. Leave enough slack...
