Here is some timing info for you. Follow the instruction to confirm the engine setting. Instead of a barring wrench, put the transfer case in neutral, shut off fuel delivery and turn short drive shaft between transfer and gear box.

Well technically you are supposed to taper a hole for pipe threads...I'll look for references....Well okay, since the tap is tapered, it's only important to go just so far as to leave a tapered hole, I guess..

Do any of you taper the hole(s) before using the pipe thread tap?

I know we don't have a chat room, but must draw the line somewhere....sorry...

One potential problem with the electric heater is that it can not be permitted to stay on when the fuel level drops below it, it will burn itself up.

It almost sounds like a timing problem...

Measure the pulley diameters (if you have access to them) and calculate the ratio, should be about 2-1/2:1.

1,200 to 1,500 rpm when running the HIAB and no problems with wetstacking. Keeping the rpm at idle (700-850 rpm) for long periods of time is not so good in my experience. Causes sluggish performance and lots of smoke until deposits are burned off when you start driving it normally after long...

Welcome princess! ..at this point, I don't think anybody cares...:-)

Sometimes...you may want to clean it now and then...

Justin, if the new box has a pipe plug near the connector, unscrew it to vent the box. I'll send you a sintered metal vent plug, to keep bugs out...I have couple of extras...

The tanks are made of steel and will start to rust in areas out of sight, mainly between the support brackets and the tank itself. Remove the paint and check for rust. You certainly don't want rust on the inside, micron sized hard particles will ruin you FDC and IP...

I use a wooden dowel, which is marked off. It's about 1/4 inch/gallon. Different fuels have different BTU (heat) values and veggie oil/bio fuels have much lower numbers as does gasoline when compared to #1 or #2 diesel. The kind of fuel will effect your MPG.

Welcome to the site. Enjoy your vacation, I know how much they are appreciated over there. :-)

Agree that there are situations where lockers will help, but one has to learn to avoid those and if by accident you end up on a side slope, for example, there are other means readily available (winch or buddies with towing abilities). Uniquely, my HIAB crane has more than once helped by using it...

A deuce with chains will outdo a lockable (locked diffs) deuce on a slippery surface and the tire tread is not even an issue. I'll check, but don't think they even permit the use of tire chains at some 4x4 off-road events because of the advatage.

Yeah Justin, check that "protective control box". Made a simplified version for Chris a couple of years ago and you may want to look up that thread...

My HIAB crane came from a 1968 Navy International Loadstar truck, not a pick-up, but kind of related. Images below show how it was found and purchased back in 1993.

The deuce didn't come with those features because they were not required 99% of the time. The Norwegian version of the deuce, the M621 (?) has lockers and even an ROP. Check out M35tom and his "Millennium" deuce and his locker equipped current deuce. The IMHO 'improved" deuce and 5-ton truck...
