Cool, but I'm more interested in the benefits of removing entrained air...

I was thinking it would be pretty easy (I have a machine shop) to put an orifice in a tee right before the Hyd Head and run it into the return.

Bumping this up, anyone tried an air removal system yet? Thinking about building a poor man's version from this info. http://www.parker.com/literature/Racor/Mobile_Air_Separation_In_Diesel_Fuel.pdf

I have two deuces and know of a third coming up for sale. None have good trannies...

Well, now I am somewhat embarrassed. Gonna go see if I can email that guy and set him straight.

Check out his paragraph about fuel filter fit a little ways down. It got me wondering... http://www.nf6x.net/…/m44-series-truck-parts-cross-referen…/ I think what he's picking on is the fit of the center cork gasket on the spring loaded cup on the stem in the can. The suspense was...

This was my idea...seal the bearing to the spindle and the seal to the bearing. Use Gear Oil Specficic RTV.

Probably needs synthetic dot 5 blinker fluid. Maybe add a filter.

To be clear, I didn't leave my deuce sitting that long, wouldn't do such a thing. It sat retired from a farm, now I'm trying to bring it back from the dead. I have heard of bacteria in diesel before, but here in the desert, never seen it. We don't have much moisture that doesn't come from a...

My deuce sat for years, 10 or 15, with the tank FULL of diesel. It wasn't very cruddy. Dry desert and tank being full doesn't give room for rust to form.

Rusty, I agree, but it seems to me like the stuff that usually takes a truck down is stuff you can't see on inspections. I guess that's the reason for going through everything and changing certain parts such as injectors every so often. With as much trouble as there seems to be with fuel...

Dmax is a nice "cartruck" engine. Deuce, I'd go 5.9 and NV4500...simple, easy and straightforward.

I strongly suggest you adjust the valves before tearing into it if you haven't recently. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?28198-Multifuel-valve-adjustment-TM

Yeah, pretty sure it's like 3000 psi, which is poke-a-hole-in-you pressure.

Doesn't the D turbo top out at 15? Course now with lots of boost, we're just gonna blow the bottom end out of the multi.

Ah, I see my mistake. That's pretty good boost.

Even better, get a mechanics stethoscope, they're awesome. Check for exhaust manifold port temp differences in warmup. For some reason, the fuel was turned way down on my water deuce when I got it, and it popped and crackled and had low power. Point being, lack of fuel (filters maybe) makes...

Stiff rubber axle tube scraper to get the crud out, works good. I had already reinstalled the seals and retainers when I took the pic. Custom reamed kingpin bushings. Inverted the plates to get rid of the vertical slop. Tapped the 1/8" pipe threads from the other side so the grease fittings...

That comes out to 1.7 psi, which is nothing...? http://www.kylesconverter.com/pressure/inches-of-water-to-pounds-per-square-inch

Rusty - sorry, I should have been more clear and thorough with how I worded my question and could have saved you the trouble. I have read that thread (maybe not completely, though, it is long and muddled), others, the manuals, enough that I can quote most of those hp/tq/ci numbers for the...
