Line connection can be loose but do not go all ape when tightening. The head can also crack, causing it to leak. Also there is a hex head centre bolt. Make sure that is tight. After cleaning everuthing, run it briefly and see if you can determine where it leaks from. If it is the hex center...

As Big Tom said - and do it before the grenading compressor sends metal shavings into your oil stream!

Went on a 65 mile long drive, country roads and gravel roads, up and down through the woods. Absolutely nothing happened or went wrong. Just an enjoyable Sunday evening drive. :-) Deuce got up to temp and through all gears and well exercised. IP is wet. I suspect HH O-rings are in my future.

Before you hit the fuel or turbo, check the throttle linkage and make sure that full throttle means the IP commands full fuel. Mis-adjusted linkage or even a bent pedal can cause the IP to never go wide open. Even with the C-turbo you should get at least 7 psi of boost! My (brand new) D makes...

It's a diesel and they need fuel, air and compression to run. That's it. - you have fuel to the injectors. Good. Does the hydraulic head at the injection pump deliver fuel at the required pressure to the injectors and do the injectors actually open when they should? We don't know. The right way...

I suggest TM 9-2320-209-20-2-2 http://www.jatonkam35s.com/DeuceTechnicalManuals/TM9-2320-209-20-2-2.pdf Start on page 26-12 and work through the flow charts. Logical approach, seeing that some of your lights work and others do not. Could end up being the light switch itself, a bad lead, a bad...

You, sir, do not futz around. :-)

What he said was what the shop told me as well regarding resurfacing. They checked the heads, were fine with the deck but all up in arms about cracks and wanted to magnaflux and weld everything. In the end, I mounted a set of brand new OEM heads that came assembled with new valves. Less work for...

Any shop that does boat covers should be able to do it.

I went through that with two shops that would not touch the heads without a full set of specs. Look at TM-2815-210-34-2-2, Page 4-207 and following for the heads Page 4-220 and following pages for valve specs. Page 4-228 has a diagram. TM can be downloaded here...

If your truck read the repair manual, that finding would mean that it is not the pistons/rings that are at fault but the intake or exhaust valves. Matches your impression that the valve train was stuck. You can roll the dice and hope that it is only surface contamination on the valve, causing...

With my Waterloo OD 5th the shift 4-5 is similar to 3-4. There is a significant rpm drop. It is not "bad" or difficult, but with the limited amount of gears the truck has, "winding it up" to 2400 or so makes for a good shift. It is not so important on level roads, because the LDS pulls right...

Yes, fresh filters, you might consider back blowing the fuel lines from the tank with compressed air with the filters off. Fuel will spray. Gunk might come flying out. A quick check of the copper fuel line that crosses under the radiator (sometimes it gets crushed) and then re-assess top speed!

Those tires are neat. What size are they? I really like the proportions of the short wheelbase. I might have said that..once..or twice...

Interesting questions. After a cold start, the massive cast iron block and heavy heads soak up a lot of heat until the coolant starts getting warm. Someone filmed the warm-up phase with a thermal imaging camera TIC and it showed how unequal the heat distribution is, causing stress on the head...

A lot of convenience in a full gasket set... Of course, you can have a couple of sheets of gasket material handy and a ball peen hammer and a couple of 9mm cartridges and hammer out whichever gasket you need. Very satisfying, but it is a lot more time consuming. The intake and exhaust gaskets...

Here is some good, concise advice on the matter. http://www.bcforestsafe.org/files/Split%20Rim%20Safety%20July%2017.pdf They recommend, for REMOVING wheel assemblies, to deflate first, then loosen lug nuts. Makes sense, because you do not know for sure if the tire has been abused at low air...

It is always nice to see that in this community people make the extra effort and help each other out. Now, I hope Elijah95 or Aolinge1 are taking pictures, or it didn't happen!
