Same blow-by. No issues. Runs fine and has not changed. Have an injector or valve clearance issue that needs to be sorted right now.

Thanks for the input! I loosened the injector lines on idle, one by one, and there is no stumble or rpm change when loosening #1. I have a set of new nozzles on the shelf. Time to pull all six injectors, have the nozzles changed and the injectors pop tested and balanced. Fuel filters are...

Background, before today: Truck ran very well. Startup at first couple of turns, good power, some smoke when you lean into it (pump is turned up a bit). Unspectacular pre-trip. No oil in coolant or coolant in oil. Today: Cranked for a few seconds before it caught. I let it warm up and drove it...

injection timing correct or 180 degrees off?

I find it amazing that road grime, caked with grease, is able to lock up a drivetrain with a low gear ratio reverse gear, powered by a 140hp engine. I'd have thought the chunks of caked whatever would be sheared right off the drum. Live and learn.

It is 1/4 IPS/NPT threads at the block. Passenger side rear of the block; you may have to remove the air filter bucket, it is tight there. Common problem is a mis-matched gauge and sender unit. There are 60 and 120 psi gauges and sender units and they show wonky pressures when interchanged. Some...

...and have a video camera running so that we can watch the beast start up!!!

Here is what I was seeing: You could flat-tow the Deuce that has tranny issues with the hood-less deuce that runs. Think of the good things about that! Less chance for overheating (no hood), and you immediately see any engine leaks developing. Oh, keep the windshield closed. J- pipe mod on the...

Had a similar issue. Backed bottom adjusters up all the way. Adjusted top for slight drum drag. Drove truck. Re-adjusted to specs. Not sure what the issue was. Maybe aftermarket brake shoes not exactly matching. Next step would have been pulling drums again to see if shoe slipped off adjuster.

Just so you are prepared - take pictures! Otherwise you will get this: nopicsnopics

"Dirt" - i.e. top soil, organic layer with a bit of sand etc. - if not obviously wet, you should run out of room before you run out of carrying capacity. With 5 yards loaded, the Deuce looks visibly full, with a mound in the middle and halfway to 2/3 up the sides, and you will be at or around...

Condolences. Never fun. Glad that only metal and egos got hurt.

I can tell you that this is the boarding ladder for the CCKW. It has six treads and is 66 1/2 inches long. The data plate of the MX-3391G aluminum ladder also has a DSA number. These numbers were used from 1962 to 1977, Dr. Google says. Makes sense; CCKWs saw a long service, often overseas. I...

I could not resist.

Man, is that engine QUIET! It sounds silky-smooth, compared to a cold start on a multifuel.

Can't help but give kudos to USMCWARWAGON, the "newbie" Deuce owner who enthusiastically tears into the hydraulic head within minutes of owning his first deuce. That is a place where some grown men fear to tread! I see a lot of optimism! :grd:

I second that. There is one wire you need to run to the newly installed coolant thermostat (so the solenoid does not fire unless the coolant is cold enough) and the dash switch and wiring are re-purposed. Kit comes with new dash plate.

Oh, it is still under warranty, then! :naner: The hour meter and mileage are a hint at best. The gauges get swapped too often to be reliable indicators. In your case, the average speed from mileage and hours would have been under 3mph over the life of the truck. Impossible? No. An insane amount...

Good thought, actually. The aircooled VW flat fours have a serviceable oil strainer. The old engines had an oil drain plug in the center of the lid that holds that strainer in. Guess what people did! They took the drain plug out, drained the oil, put the plug back in and re-filled the oil...

:goodjob: Are you sure you found "ALL" the zerks? :-PThere are some amazing ones on this truck that you probably won't find without the lubrication order. I think - and someone will correct me - that there are 142 zerks on a deuce w/w. I have not greased the one for the pintle hitch and I have...
