    Does anyone make a good 4” turbo back turbo exhaust?

    Tobash have you modded the engine in ways that your thing it could actually need a 4" exhaust? If stock that engine was just plain happy as a clam with 3" tubing. If your just doing it to be cool then just cut the existing pipe and weld you bigger pipe to that.

    fuel tank problems.

    Normally you would have two options 1 fix it 2 replace it. I am guessing the hole is not small? and being it was speared from the outside inward it may be difficult to pound out and then weld a patch on it? It will be likely easiest to replace the tank, I can think they would be that expensive?

    What to proactively replace from yermo auction truck that has been sitting?

    Blutow it sounds to me like you have a pretty good start on this. If you haven't changed the lube in the diffs I would sure give it a look and just crack the drains and see if you get any moisture out and then look open the fill plug and check level and get and idea of condition. As far as the...

    Increasing the air intake in a deuce

    I have always gone the feel of the pants being equal to a 10% HP increase, meaning if your can actually feel a difference in driving the vehicle its at least a 10% increase in power. By changing the amount of air going into the turbo will you see that increase? I highly doubt it. The turbos...

    Try to weld in or patch over

    Ramdough if it were mine and because they are pretty ugly looking, looked like bolts that pulled through? I would pound them flat with hammer on both sides and cut steel patches and weld them in place then grind them flat and coat the patches with a light coat of bondo then sand and paint. My...

    Tachograph questions

    OK the TM for my truck shows how to change out the paper to put new paper into the unit but says nothing about running the unit with NO paper, I agree with the statement that its going to ruin the pencils/drawing device but in all seriousness I will never use it for graphing anything nor do I...

    Blower/heater M1165

    Confirm in your TM that its a ground and you should be able to attach it to anything solid and close to the firewall, just make sure that whatever your attaching to is not rubber mounted.

    Replacing Rear Wheel Bearings and all pertaining to

    Hey guys pulling the hubs and inspecting the bearing on a Deuce is not a big deal at all, no need to worry about doing it. Two things I would do is watch a video on it on Utube then I would download the TMs for doing this and read through those to make sure you have all the tools, seals...
