I put a set of Optima yellow top 800 CCA batteries in mine, Since they are considerably smaller than the 6TL's, I filled the voids with structural foam to prevent their moving around. They work great. RL

The most I have hauled with my deuce was a load of gravel fill for the driveway. 4 yards, wet gravel and sand mix probably between 3500-4000 pounds per yard. Even at 3000 it would 12K Lbs of load, and a max of maybe 15K. I only had 3 miles to go, and although the truck handled it well, I took...

I realize that this may or may not be the same in MD but in NYS, you are required to furnish the other driver(s) with your name, address and insurance information whether an accident was your fault, theirs, or who knows....I suspect an improper procedure in that the officer did not furnish you...

I would condemn the tire as the car had to hit it hard, even if the apparent damage is only to the rim. Do not trust it because if the cord on the outside fails it can cause some problems for you or for the car next to you. I would definitely inspect the bearings of that hub, and also the hub...

not a simple answer to this question "Radial Clearance" is the distance that the impeller must be from the wall of the turbo housing to properly operate and create boost. As the bearings wear, the clearance will decrease, not increase. Obviously, the tubine shaft will most likely tend to wear...

In checking the connections to the relay and the batteries, as well as the starter, disconnect the batteries first. Pull the ground off. The relay on the block is prone to a lot of vibration and the connections can work loose. This is the solenoid that really does the work of getting your...

I spray "PURE" Silicone lubricant into the air line ahead of my wiper motors. The silicone does not react with the rubber components and it serves to lubricate the o-rings in the motors nicely. Be careful as some "silicone" lubbricant contains some pertroleum components and that is what we...

Hey, every time you learn something it is like putting money in the bank... appreciate, accept and move on, this works for me.... RL

It is extremely common for the older fuel pumps to fail on the new gas we are currently getting at the pump. You should be able to replace or rebuild the pump easily. I cannot remember if it is in the tank, or on the engine. RL

Yes, Progun...that is the new style. The telling point is the long "boss" that extends to the mount. The original long cannister ones had a piston assembly that extended to the bracket. Both work equally well, but the new ones are harder to find a rebuild kit for. You may find the small...

Jeesh Gimpy you are absolutely correct. That is on the air side of the compensator. I just assumed he was in the "unloader" for the air compressor. My suggestion is to get a kit and rebuild the entire airpack. If you have this much corrosion in the air control part of the air pack, the entire...

I just checked bo0th lists and no joy on a part nuimber. You can try Saturn Surplus they may have the part. RL

I did not thnk of this before but the deuce recovery thread may have the part number, or the deuce interchange parts list. I believe these are in the Deuce forum under resources or FAQ RL

It is not a vacuum can, it is operated by air controlled by the actuator of the air pack. The long boss on the back of the air pack indicates you have a newer style airpack as opposed to the old style. I would suggest you see if the vent line is constantly allowing pressurized air to escape and...

The factor that determines whether an air pack can be rebuilt is the amount of corrosion inside. The bores can only be honed so far before they are out of spec and you risk seepage past the piston. Another factor on rebuilding an airpack is if you have the requisite skill to do so properly...

Well, all kidding aside, I agree that the stunt was ill conceived and a dumb idea. There are reams of law books chock full of laws written in response to actions taken that were of a similiar lack of intelligence or even less if that is possible. Sadly, the law of the land is the law of the...

I am sure that if one used Tannerite regularly to rid the property of pesky stinging insects the tree huggers would have a fit. Still, I cannot understand why they gave the guy so much of a hassle in MN. After all, none of the pieces came down on other people's property did they? These days...

Unless I am grossly mistaken, The 2WD version of the 700R4 has the long tail shaft which WILL NOT WORK with a 4WD set up. RL

GreenJeepster, I like your thinking......:grin: A shotgun might be easier with fine shot. RL

I just cannot understand why someone cannot go out and just blow stuff up..... Of course that was in the Socialist State of Minnesota and no doubt their COMMISARS have the same sense of humor the COMMUNIST STATE OF NEW YORK do RL
