Thanks for the quick leads. Much appreciated and helped me on my search. I found some good posts on common fuel issues. I now have a good idea of what I am trouble shooting. Now to do it all in the 10 degree weather and light snow. I prefer a heated warm shop for problem solving... See...

I scored a 5ton with about 600 miles on it. An older gentleman that stores his boat at my place said I could have it for trade out. I am excited. He got it new drove it on construction project for a few months drove it to the lot. Next day went to start it and it didn't start. No fuel...

To much surface area to weight in the ice ground and snow on top. Yes, if the ground has a layer of ice rink on it the lockers just spin all tires on both axles. I went and pulled a side dump out of the ditch today. I plowed off the road thru the ditch, snow, small trees and all. Not a...

I have enjoyed the learning and the build. It has been good for the mind. More stuff later but take a break for now and do some jobs.

Speed and rpm: visuals and sound! to dark in cab to see while trying to stay on the road. I have driven manual for last 14yrs in POV and dump truck. Problems all solved! mistakes made: I actually had it in low range not hi range last night! ughhh. Air pressure: Dropped fronts to...

Thanks for mentioning the camber. I just read a bunch of threads on it. That sounds like the problem. I will flip them tomorrow and a little toe in. I have read the info before but it does not mean anything until one experiences it and then it is more understandable .

I have not corrected the toe in and camber. Will look into that. I drove around my lot in lo range some so I could tell a difference between hi/lo. I will take her for a spin again tomorrow in the daylight. I talked to a buddy with 53' on his off road truck /deuce frame and axles and he...

Took my truck for a spin today after lots of new items. Lockers in all axles, manual hubs upfront, 6 new wheels tires 395 goodyears Mts, new brakes all around, new cylinders, new lines, 12 new bushings, swapped sprag transfer case for air engage case, installed both air ride seats.. road...

replaced all 12 bushings. in the end I removed one u bolt for top dog bones. I couldn't get both nuts off with u bolts still on. I bought a short socket ground it down a bit and welded a bar to it to fit between ubolt. Much easier to just remove ubolts if they come out easy. Homemade...

I got the truck from a mine up here. It was used to haul supplies in and out. They obviously used it a bit and lots of add on and other fixed/replaced items. They had 2 inner bearings on one front axle. Now that I have finished all the brakes I am pretty positive I had 2 brake cylinders...

Pretty positive it fell while jacked up with both fronts removed. both sides are cratered showing that she plowed straight to the ground. Installed a locker in the front hub today and will add the Boyce hubs.

Thanks. I had the numbers off the ones I removed. I gave the numbers to the bearing store and instead of shipping (2) 3994 they sent (2) 394A a smaller race. I had a friend pick up the correct bearings in Anchorage today.

Easier way of removing races if you happen to have a stuck race and welder. Weld a bead all the way around race and it will fall out on first tap. Damaged spindle and threads.. tig welded the grove. Fixed it up a little. Tired of buying parts. Bearing and races were no good on front axle...

Hardheaded and stubborn are probably a better choice! What i did to my Deuce today!

Front axle time... looks like it has been dropped at one time. brake shoes are bent on both driver and passenger side. Bearings toast on driver side. This is starting to be real work as I keep adding items. I did a comparison on Boyce's site and I figure when I am done with all upgrades it...

Nice job on using up 3 of 9000 fittings/bolts/nuts in the supply bin. Come on. No shame. I enjoy laughing at myself more than others. My favorite saying, " I'm only successful because I'm to stupid to give up".

tcase and transmission vent locations... mine is still tore apart. trying to decide how to cut the cab apart to do the crew cab... i am currently in slow season and not working a lot so I have lots of time for the new project in between small welding jobs coming in.

Well... actually I skipped those. I still have it in the shop so maybe ill do those as now. Thanks for the guilt trip I mean the motivation!

I have replaced all axle seals and grease. Haven't messed with the hydraulic head.

Replaced all brake lines except for front axle. Had some little droplets of oil coming out of one of the hard lines along with the brake fluid.. What should I look into or rebuild? Going on week 2 of working on this truck and it is slow going! Drained and cleaned the fuel tank.... didn't...
