    Can a C Type Turbo be Switched out with a D??

    I've been reading up some about the Turbos, and I just need to confirm a few things. First, our deuce has a C-Type "whistler" turbo. Question: Can I replace this C-Type with a D-Type Turbo? I know I've read some threads, where members seem to state that they changed from one type to the...

    Trying to hold it out with a ladder and such, it was about 5 feet to long. So yeah I'd say it was the M36 most likely. Thanks!

    Where to get a Deuce Turbo Rebuilt??

    I've been doing some searching on front axle boots. I am sure that the solid boots last longer than the zipper boots, but I've also read of some only lasting a year? Why is this? Has anyone found a better axle boot that will last? I have seen axle boots for sale, like on Eriks, that also state...

    Where to get a Deuce Turbo Rebuilt??

    I found Ken in the member list and sent him a PM yesterday. Hopefully I'll hear back from him today or tomorrow and can ship it out on monday. We'll be waiting on the turbo to get back before we finish the exhaust. I am replacing the J-Pipe and we're adding a muffler, as the deuce is just to...

    Where to get a Deuce Turbo Rebuilt??

    Hi Wsucougarx! Yes I found and completely read through your Turbo Rebuild thread a few days ago. Excellent Job on the "How To" by the way. I thought about rebuilding it myself, but I don't know. I'd rather just have some do it who has some experience with them, if the price is right. If it...

    Where to get a Deuce Turbo Rebuilt??

    Is the Flame nozzle the piece with the black and red lines, which the piece connects into the intake just above the turbo?

    Where to get a Deuce Turbo Rebuilt??

    Hi Everyone, I posted a photo of my C-Type (Whistler) Turbo, in my Deuce Recovery, and now "project" thread located here, with Original Photo of the Turbo also attached below. I'm getting this truck ready for long trips on the highway. So I'm trying to make any and all repairs and a few updates...

    Line-X or Rhino Bedliner On Underside of A3 Hood?

    Have you, or anyone else here, used the Lizard Skin Sound Deadening undercoat??? How good does it work under the hood and such, to deaden sound and vibrations??? Is there a cheap gun you can use to apply? I really don't want to pay $65 for a gun that I will just use once or twice. Anyone...

    Does anyone know of a reputable company that will rebuild the C-Type Turbo's? I sent in for a quote to J & H Diesel, who I read about here on SS, but haven't heard anything back from them. Thanks

    Our First MV's Recovered - Now on to Maintenance & Updates

    Thanks for shedding some light on the photo of the turbo. I was thinking maybe that it could be "that problem" that I had read about... but hoping it was not. I'll have to look into it and see how hard its going to be to replace the seals I guess. Yeah I do know about the 5 min rule. Been...

    Our First MV's Recovered - Now on to Maintenance & Updates

    lol :-D That is an interesting control isn't it :-D My brother, who was driving the deuce on the recovery trip, figured it out one morning before we left the hotel. Even though we never needed them the whole trip, as we never once ran into a single drop of rain or snow the entire 2100 mile...

    Our First MV's Recovered - Now on to Maintenance & Updates

    1. no I haven't read the entire manual, haven't had the time. However I have read parts of the online pdf manual. But its much harder to sift through a pdf file on the screen then it is an actual paper book. And yes I will get a hard copy/printed paper copy. 2. Nothing like asking around and...

    Our First MV's Recovered - Now on to Maintenance & Updates

    That's true, we were actually just working on it today as the valve was froze up and wouldn't turn. So I took it off, cleaned it out, and soaked it in WD-40, and clamped it in a vise and finally got it to turn with a pair of pliers. After working it a bit, it opens and closes by hand now, but...

    Our First MV's Recovered - Now on to Maintenance & Updates

    Yeah I know they're tube tires, and that was the only one that kept going flat on the recovery trip home. It was sometime during the last 150 miles that the tire valve disappeared, probably pulled inside the rim if I had to guess. I'm going to get two new tires for the front anyway, and I'm...

    Our First MV's Recovered - Now on to Maintenance & Updates

    Yeah, you're right. It should be water proof as that is their business isn't it. I think we're going to do the same thing, look for a boat cover shop and see if they can section ours to length. And yes, ours is a one piece cover. And you're right about just having them to take out a section and...

    Our First MV's Recovered - Now on to Maintenance & Updates

    Now I know what that whatch-a-ma-call-it bracket was for :D Thanks! Good idea of putting a 2nd fuel tank there. I'm thinking of mounting one in the bed, along with a 2nd spare tire... if I find another deuce rim somewhere. Thats not a bad price! Might have to call around here and see if I can...
