so, wait... you have a locker in the rear axle? if so, check all your tire pressures. if they are not the same, that could cause the axles not to turn at the same speed (or try not to because they are hooked together) and eventually (with so many rotations down the road) the differential has to...

Maybe somebody can correct me if I am wrong, but it seems like i have seen the "white" logo casted on some of the intake manifolds before. it might have been the size of a quarter or so. Now if I am correct on some of the intake manifolds having that cast into them, would that mean that the rest...

I have taken them apart before and cleaned them up/lubricated them and got them to work fine again.... or you could put a new one on it and be done with it also.

Good thread. I knew the switch on the dash was only for the sending units and the valve is on the floor. There is a blank plate there in my deuce because as you know, they are the same cabs as the 818. I always thought it would be cool to add a secondary tank with quick disconnects that i can...

I would love to have an M756A2 :D Anyway, I am with gimpy on this one. I did get a set of take out injectors for my truck that were a newer style and they pop off at 3400 PSI. I'm not sure which is better and all, but i have heard the newer style pop off at a higher pressure. if you look in the...

It looks good! you get to keep your truck inside? Lucky Duck. :razz:

The M1061A1 uses air brakes also.

Not sure, but I will volunteer my truck to pull one! Let me know! :grin: It stinks they salted the roads... Deuce is pretty much done until spring. I'll take it out once in a to play in the snow if we get a lot. :-)

I agree here as well. Serviceability is the key to making the system user friendly. I screen the oil before it goes in my main pressure/filtering tank and i have drains on everything (except my pressure tank and i really need to get one put on it) in case of water intrusion. Ball valves are...

I agree 100% Water always gets in large tanks like that.

That is pretty much how my system works using hydraulic filters. After i fill my converted 25 gallon propane tank, i pressurize it with air and that pushes the oil through the filters instead of using a hydraulic pump. I find it is more efficient than using an electric motor/pump. Plus with air...

The LED Bulb I bought for my turn signal indicator is from www.superbrightleds.com The part number for the bulb I have in my truck now is exactly (relatively speaking) the same brightness as an original bulb. The part number of this bulb is: Part Number: BA9SF-G-28VAC I bought another bulb...

I thought all the oil pressure gauges on 816's were electric. Now there was a gauge in the top left and i forget what that was for... something like priming the fuel or something? I would have to look at the manual and see..... but it isn't that one, is it? don't forget to check grounds when...

I would think there is too. There are other things I would go after before I rebuild an engine just because it does not like to start good in the cold. I haven't had 100% diesel in the tank in probably 4 years and my injectors were not in the best shape when I did have 100% diesel in the tank...

There are new alternators out there that put out 130 amps at idle and 200 amps at speed. Very, very impressive.

I would just PM the snot out of the truck... but that is my style. If something does not work right or is broken, that is where I would put my money first. For example, when I bought my truck i checked all the light bulbs to make sure they were all working. Some of them had a dark tint to them...

Like Doghead said the manuals are a good place to look but they can be tough to navigate if you are not familiar with them. Before I bought my deuce, the guy I bought it from gave me a -10 manual. I'm an Engineer, so I love details and standard processes. So naturally I was like a sponge with...

That's what I have now, Isspro. I have been happy with them. Ill have to check out their 30 PSI gauge...

I'm not sure about evaporates but I do agree silicone fluid always seems to need to be "topped off" every couple years or so. My dad has a couple Studebakers and when he restored them he put silicone fluid in them. When they are restored they always seemed to appear slightly damp around the...

I love cold start videos! I wish mine started when It was 10 degrees out and such. It loves the block heater. I dont drive it much at all in the winter. Only to go out and play on roads that have not been plowed yet. But it is fun starting it up and letting it warm up :-)
