    Price check - axle seal kit

    Can't help on the NAPA cross reference. Have had good service from Erik's Military and Industrial Surplus - Military Vehicle Parts, Industrial and Military Surplus Electronics and prices are good. I installed the boots without zippers but some have had trouble with them not lasting long.

    Price check - axle seal kit

    If you are talking seals only and not the gaskets and cork wedges that would be a little pricey. As for seals you need 6 inner seals and 4 outer seals. they run from $8 to $20 each from what I see.

    Silent Fuel Pump

    Really don't have a clue at this point. They are pretty simple in design and not real high tech. It's simple enough to pull the pump and check the screen on the bottom.

    Silent Fuel Pump

    Well if you have fuel coming from the bleeder with only the master on then it must be working. All the deuces I have been around you could hear the pump running sitting in the cab. Go figure. Maybe you have a special stealth pump. :smile:

    Silent Fuel Pump

    Easy way to check is open the bleeder on top of the secondary/final filter and turn the master switch on. If the pump is working you will get a small scale version of old faithful coming out the bleeder. I would have to say if you can't hear it, it's not running. The truck will run on the...

    I bought a NAPA fuel filter and it looks different from the stock filter

    Did you have any problems when bleeding the secondary/final filters using the intank pump. Did it look like a scale version of old faithful with the pump running and the bleeder on top open ?

    I bought a NAPA fuel filter and it looks different from the stock filter

    Have those filters in my deuce now and have no issues with keeping speed on the road. I think it is a 1" hex on the primary.

    Need exact width on M105 trailer

    I have found TM 43-0001-31, EQUIPMENT DATA SHEETS FOR TACOM COMBAT AND TACTICAL EQUIPMENT very handy for such information. Just a FYI. Good luck on the pickup.

    Load Bank?

    I use 2 4500 watt water heater elements ($12 each) in a 55 gallon drum (free). Have them switched with 2 240v 30 amp switches so I can very the load.

    Price check - axle seal kit

    That sounds like a reasonable price for all 4 items to me.

    Removing spare tire

    I have a very simple way to lower the spare. disengage ratchet pawl on lift, loosen retaining bolts, make sure nothing is under spare. One or two kicks and she's on the ground. I find this easier and safer than trying to control the lift to lower the tire. I know that's not the "approved" method...

    Leaking axle... and not the good kind

    I used a 15 gal. round wash tub and 5 gallons of mineral spirits for cleaning. Was easy to set the hole hub / drum assembly in and scrub the crud off. 2cents

    air horn bell

    Been there done that. Had the exact same thing happen. I used the 271 heavy duty thread locker. Don't plan on having to take it apart and don't think I would be lucky enough for it to stay wedged between the frame and inner fender again.

    ISSPRO Turbocator Pyro / Boost Gauge

    The white pointer and a color scale for temp would be great.

    Finally!!!

    Welcome to the light. Congratulations on the deuce. [thumbzup] That item is a solorgizer (sp?). It is to keep the batteries charged. Because the vehicles could sit for extended periods of time without use they started to install these to help keep the batteries charged. Get the TM's and start...

    dangers in running deuce without front axle boots?

    Besides what combst32 mentioned I would think there is a high probability that dirt and sand kicked up from the road would migrate into the knuckle area. Over time I could see it causing concerns with the thrust washer and seal carrier surface and the bushing inside the spindle that supports the...
