    Which is the Hardest Bolt or Nut to remove from the Deuce?

    i also had a super hard time tightening the bellhousing to trans bolts while the trans was still in the truck .. the top two were the worst.. I had to use a open end wrench and a pry bar working through the little inspection hole at the bottom of the bell

    Chris are you missing some bump stops in the back.. i have never had my rears hit...Maybe it's cuz my bed flexs up off the frame when i get things twisty?

    Which is the Hardest Bolt or Nut to remove from the Deuce?

    i think the big nut on the pintle was the most pita of any i can remember taking off..i think it was a 2.5 inch socket and you have to hold the pintle from spinning while trying to get the big arse nut to break loose .i had to use a pipe and a floor jack to get mine loose

    Rockwell axle ratios

    amx lighten up..They just aren't intended for a 6x6 duece..Do a google search you'll find more info on who is using them . If you have a duece and want less gear ratio bigger tires is the cheapest way to go .If you want a higher top speed and nothing else to change m35tom makes a improved od...

    Rockwell axle ratios

    The stock od ratio in a duece is .79 and the have a hard time with that. But you're not just talking about changing the od you are talking about all the gears ... i have 15.5s on my truck and couldn't imagine how slow it would be with 16.00s.. There are several ways to get the same ratio. but it...

    Rockwell axle ratios

    Not gonna happen with a stock duece.. acceleration would be 0 ... drivng speed in high would be 0.. a multi fuel doesn't have enough power to pull that kind of gear .. Those gears were made for light weight 4x4 trucks with big motors ..Not for 14000 lb 140hp 6x6s:roll:Not to mention the 3600...

    395's and hubs on my Deuce ! What I think about the upgrade.

    I have 15.5s on mine with the hubs flipped stock rims .. The front left hits the drag link at full right cut.. The fronts just nip the luvers on the inner fenders at full flex with the tires cut hard.No rubbing in the rear. If you had another inch offset on the front they wouldn't hit at all.. i...

    8" lift and 395 (46") tires

    Does it feel tipsy now with the lift? did you get the shocks on there to? I think it would be nicer with the 14.00s .The 395s look kind of small on there.:driver:

    8" lift and 395 (46") tires

    Looks good i would think you might need some cross bracing to keep the frame from twisting over time ..8" is alot of leverage in a turn

    395's and hubs on my Deuce ! What I think about the upgrade.

    9.00s are 41 inches 11.00s-14.5s are 43inches and 15.5s-395s are 46 inches. another reason an a2 has a higher top speed with the same tires is it has an overdrive trans.The a3 in a dirrect drive trans...

    Pricey like you get use to yanking the cable to shut the engine off and it breaks something in the injection pump.. or you yank the throttle cable and the gov doesnt work and motor disasembles itself..Sticky cables can sieze up or break which could be a bad thing .. i would try lubing them...

    Gotta paint that stop handle red!

    Been there done that... Didn,t worry about it much. i pull my engine stop out slowly so not to break anything ..So when i did it with the throttle control the rpms came up slow .A quick twist and a push of the cable no issue.. My throttle cable pulls fairly smoothly and locks properly as does my...
