These trucks being mislabeled and incorrectly titled is exceedingly common. Sometimes people would put an older year model on the SF97 so they could get it titled as an older vehicle for insurance or special titling purposes.
If you have to do super singles, I wouldn't recommend anything larger than the 395s. With tires that large you are already stressing components a lot more than they were designed for. Don't modify it to make it start giving you problems. They are fairly trouble free as is if maintained properly.
Start button first, it is cheaper. Then go to the relay. You should also inspect the small wire that goes to the top of the relay. If it is frayed and the insulation is gone right next to another wire that gets power when the master switch is turned on, you can be jumping power from one wire to...
I understand what you are saying Rusty, and I agree on the concept. What you may not know is that I have four other deuces here that only get started every couple of months at best, and they crank the same as my truck, sometimes one or two will take a half revolution before they catch. Maybe I'm...
That knob will never calibrate the SWR, just so you know. It is simply to calibrate the meter to the antenna system. Four foot whips rarely ever give an acceptable SWR. The best thing for you would be a 102" stainless whip. They provide good SWR, and very good transmit and receive. With any...
You are referring to the small tit on the end of the shutoff shaft? If you get it right it should seat immediately when you push it in, and it will only travel between around 7 and 9 o'clock respectively. If the lever will go past horizontal in either direction you don't have it right. Getting...
Just don't change the headgaskets unless you need to. That won't make a difference unless one is blown. The injectors pop pressure does play a big part though.
Just make sure you have good strong batteries ( properly sized), and you can run 20-30% gasoline in your fuel mix. That will help if yours has cold weather issues.
That old generator and voltage regulator may be funky, but it will work after an EMP, while the newer alternators may or may not. That old voltage regulator is solid state, all analog. That's also why they can be problematic. If it works leave it alone.
It would be a whole lot easier and cheaper to just source another multifuel. It is not a bolt in swap. The Canuck deuces had an Allison behind the 4/53t.
You only have one master cylinder, and two air pacs. That's all there is to it. And that is a factory install. Your truck is an 87' or 88' model, no doubt about it. It was an air force truck.
