    Running like a champ...then missing smoking and no power

    Clear line isn't fuel rated but I like to keep some around to install so I can see if I have bubbles in the fuel going into the IP. Is it a consistent big fat chuff chuff chuff miss like a steam engine? If it is, it is likely the head gasket between cylinders 5 and 6.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    That is a guy from the Far East somewhere, has a bunch of green gold and is always tinkering with and rebuilding deuce engines. I've talked to him on the FB deuce group.

    Water pump rebuild kit

    It could be done if you could get the kit but it’s very difficult to get the impeller off without breaking it

    Compressor pulley wrench

    I also probably have an extra pulley around if you want it (I wouldn't bother trying to weld the cast) but would have to ship from SoCal...

    Compressor pulley wrench

    I agree, that's how I've done it when at the shop where I have big wrenches. I wanted something to keep in the truck for on the side of the road. I saw some for $25 and ordered...they are thin and I doubt would work. Haven't tested yet. I can measure if you want dims, and remake them at work...

    Charging system upgrade for the Deuce

    Thanks. That’s where I was heading. Wondering if there might be an issue with the truck that would kill one in short order like that. It had a non functional Leece-Neville on it when I got it. I’m inclined to hook alternators up “proper” with excite and sense wires...seems like it isn’t...

    Deuce/CUCV Combination

    I don’t think the CUCV body will look right on the straight deuce frame. Look into body swapped mud trucks from the South.

    Charging system upgrade for the Deuce

    The batteries that were in the truck were junk. Small and old, just placekeepers, was slaving the truck to start. It’s my project M50 I saved from the scrapper, which is also turning out to be a test mule for things like this alt and the aluminum Chevy radiator. I tested and put some good used...

    Charging system upgrade for the Deuce

    I used to know a thing or two about alternators but it’s been a couple decades. @74M35A2 probably knows...

    Charging system upgrade for the Deuce

    I installed a 21si knockoff and voltage varies with RPM today. I don’t think it did when I first installed it last weekend, seems like it was putting out about 28v from the get go. Ideas? Thanks

    Compressor Truck in SoCal needs home to avoid Scrapper

    Better pics @silverstate55 these pictures of the compressor truck are accurate. I believe one rear diff chunk and all the axle shafts are missing. But it is rollable...probably not flat towable.
