Very nice looking truck! !! Welcome to the board !!

Might have been a stuck thermostat?

Congratulations! ! I can't wait til you get it mounted !!

I have had issues in the past that led me down that road. I'm glad you got it fixed !

From my experience the "S" cams aren't as touchy as the wedge style brakes . Now I will also say my m920 had brakes that would engage in 1/4 " to full locked wheels . I found my treadle assy was bad. Put in a new 1 and it stops now like my f350. Until I figured that out it was 1 scary ride !

I have only used mine down into the 30s . But at that temp I have to run mine on low because I get to warm. I'm sure if it were colder like it is now it may not be the same way? Also I have a new soft top and the truck has all new rubber and seals which help a lot to !

I would say yes you could run it without a battery and insulate the + lead. On a second note whats the thin red wire laying on the battery ? I have seen them on several units laying loose in the cabinet ?

Mine are the same way. But I will say if I go down the highway and drive it about 10 to 15 min they are much better at stopping at low speed.

That's what I was afraid off. Had this stupid idea that the axles sat on a arm that located them with the links. Ultimately if they sat on a arm boss, I was going to try and make offset plates to move the axles farther apart for 1400s on my m35a3. I believe I'm barking up the wrong tree now ...

yes. for some reason I have the Henderson walker beams pictured in my mind lol

Its the engine shut off solenoid .

I would say yes it only looks to be about 5 lbs. Did you check the check valves on the passenger side of the truck. should be 2 next to the tanks.

Anyone have a picture of how the rear axles on a deuce locate to the rocker beams? have a weird idea. but without tearing into how my rears are mounted. I thought someone may have some pictures?

If you have to pull the axle , Its pretty easy . Just remove the bolts ( 10 ) and use a screw driver or a chisel to break the seal. The axle should slide right out .

Looks as if you may have to pull the axle to clear it. something isn't right there? it should clear? also it looks from the picture you still have a fitting in it.

Hopefully you have a nice warm shop to do all of this in?

could it just be paint build up ?

Is the CTIS stuff keeping you from pulling it off on the back side ?
