Thanks but don't let the pic's fool ya, I had so much of the bolt on stuff removed to do repairs I decided to give her a quick paint job.
She's quite the whistler, makes me glad I have a hard top:wink:
If thats the case then I won't worry to much about it, Heck I must have been very lucky with my last deuce as it did not do any of what I'm seeing here and it was a C model also.
Thanks for the input
"You didn't activate that switch while the rears were slipping, or did you.....?:roll:"
No Truck was not moving when I engaged switch, I'll pull it ( module) and check for sticking piston, Thanks G
Thanks Chuck but I do know hows its suppose to engage, thats why I posted as I never had this...
I'm perplexed( had to look that word up)
I have oily snot running down side of block and also out the turbo elbow., at first it looked like it might be coming from #1 cyl exhaust so I thought ( hopefully) that maybe injector was not working/spraying correctly so I changed it out with one of...

I was going to go and take of my old "Field mod" lever lock ( aka...
Well I finally got the deuce running today and pulled her out of the barn to let her run a bit to check for leaks after repairing ( among a ton of other things) the rad and changing out stat, pump, hoses and oil cooler gasket/seals. I had recently just put in a second T/C as the first would not...
Theres 24v/12v one (10 availible) on e-bay now
Volt-A-Drop voltage reducer for many older vehicles:eBay Motors (item 180432372606 end time Dec-13-09 16:32:15 PST)

You can buy a flatner for any paint from your local auto paint supply store
I know painters who have used Talc powder to flatten paint, but as mentioned a few months in thes sun and gillespie will fade being its just a oil alkalyd paint. I just went the opposite way I just recieved 4gal of WWII...
