    something bent.. M1008 rear of truck 2" to driveside

    Sounds like you mean it is "dog tracking" to the side not leaning. Maybe a broken center bolt in the rear leaf spring.

    Great that you and your son spend time like that. You only have one chance to make memories that last a lifetime. Thanks for posting the pic's. Anyone that thinks the deuce has a strange shift pattern needs to look at the pic you have. I wouldn't stand a chance with that. :shock:

    Nice to hear it seems to be all good. Mine has a length of rubber hose on it that extends to just below the mid section of the axle housing.

    Tranfer case hodgepodge

    :ditto:I would also think this would let you give the gears and bearings a once over for defects. 2cents

    67 Deuce dies when i hit 4th gear

    That was the route I went when I needed to replace mine. Yes it costs more but it is plug&play so to speak and no doubt it was configured for the intended use.

    Another fuel pump went bad

    Also the magnetic coupling can fail. Thats what killed my pump. The magnet is glued into a cup on the bottom of the motor. The glue failed and allowed the magnet to dislodge from the cup which brought the hole show to a stop. If the pump you received was New OLD Stock it is possible that glue...

    67 Deuce dies when i hit 4th gear

    Excuse me but, Well I've been to one world fair a picnic and a rodeo and that's the stupidest thing I have ever seen. You are most likely starved for fuel because of the lack of volume. The TM says any pressure above 4psi is good. Assuming the pumps you have there are even working the hose...

    Another fuel pump went bad

    Like others have said the truck should run fine without the intank pump running. I only found mine was inop because I changed the filters and went to purge them and nada, nothing. Truck was running great.

    So far I haven't found any warnings in the TM's about not running it this way. I know that some cooling system designs will not flow correctly if the thermostat is removed due to the fact the body of the thermostat makes up part of the coolant passage. There is a thermostat test listed in TM...

    Check your brake fluid!

    So far mine hasn't leaked but I did wonder about the two piece design. At least they both have the same size fitting in case I need to change later.

    Check your brake fluid!

    I purchased mine from this supplier. I bought the 6.8oz reservoir for the added capacity. I'm glad I did the upgrade. So easy to check the fluid every time I go. https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productselection.asp?Product=3558

    Sorry to hear about the over heating. Hope the thermostat cures it. One thing, it sure won't fit in the parking garage... :???:
