The '70 has always required good hot batts to start, and I have had lots of problems with loose, dirty, or cracked connections melting and burning stuff. In contrast, my '62 has a mechanical (foot) engaged starter and nasty dirty old cables, 24v, and my '66 is 12v with same junk cables, and...

Thanks for serving, Rusty. I'm a long time limit pushing offroader, somewhat new to deuces, but have been driving heavy diesels offroad a long time. They get along in the sand, even dunes if you know what you're doing. Weight in the back helps. I have some ideas and theories I need to put out...

My understanding is rotella has 1200ppm of zddp/zinc which is a friction killer. Maybe not ideal break-in oil, but I'm no expert.

Puttin' the deuce to work smoothing the yard, fun in the desert, new flag mount.

3,000# in the bed, trailer was too heavy and too stuck. In hindsight, I should have pulled on the semi truck from pavement. https://youtu.be/y9KLCiMd3h0

Took the truck out to the country for a school project photo shoot the other evening.

Misc busted donor trans pics, radiator needing repair.

The donor 2nd and main shaft fit is .006" loose, should be .0045" max, so it's temp until I get new parts from m35tom. I have a bunch of pics I was trying to upload from my phone yesterday, I'll try to get them up today.

Pulled an all nighter and rebuilt and reinstalled the trans in the '70 with used parts from donor transmissions for the time being.

Yes, but had the probe in the wrong location originally. Gets warm quick, will be turning it down, but I'm used to babysitting a pyro. It's hard to do in the dunes though.

10-4. On the one hand, it would probably actually be less work to pull the main with it in the truck, but would be good to go through the whole trans anyway. I have not had good luck with them, which is why I'm getting good at working on them. Need to get the upgraded stuff from Tom.

I go from above as well, with a straight extension, lose tq with the wobblers it seems.

The first trans i pulled in a dirt lot in the middle of nowhere took me and a buddy half a day. Didn't do enough homework. The other night, I dropped my trans, rebuilt it with new bearings and parts from a couple other transes, and reinstalled it. Finished before the sun came up. Like gimp...

What is the temp difference pre and post turbo?

WARNING! DO NOT install your pyrometer probe in the existing hole in the rear of the manifold! It will give you a significantly low false temp reading, making you think it's not as hot as it is and possibly melting your pistons!

Bummed, can't make it, family stuff.

Turned it up til the nut stopped. 1200 climbing an overpass in 5th, haha. Sure do like it, I can keep up with traffic from stoplights around town now without flooring it, winding it out, and shifting as fast as possible.

Used to peg my cummins at 1600 for short bursts. It didn't last... At what point does the adjustment bolt twist off?

Got a pyro rigged up off the 2nd batt, the one with neg to ground. Made 800 degrees max on flat ground hogging on it in 4th and 5th. Went 22 flats, bout 7 threads showing, woke the old girl up nicely. Starts with a bang and a puff of smoke like the '62, smokes medium when accelerating. Can feel...

Pics of deuces on those 11.00s are actually somewhat hard to find in my experience. Can't wait to get mine on.
