With help from a friend we got the Cummins engine running in the deuce today. Sorry, no video. First, I tightened the clear reinforced hose on the mechanical lift pump inlet (driver side of engine) and pressed the primer bulb. About 50 thumb presses later I had fuel to the top of the fuel...

Unfortunately, the truck isn't running on the road yet. However, a major milestone was reached yesterday - I bumped the starter for the first time. I'm trying to prime the fuel system, bleed the Hydroboost brakes, and finish installing a reconditioned transfer case. Good thing I have 26...

#1 Power Steering #2 Bobbing it 3 feet shorter and losing an axle #3 Suspension lift (8 inch) + 53 inch Michelins #4 Disc Brakes I can't comment on swapping the 5.9L Cummins because I ain't done yet.

For a second there looking at the first thumbnail picture I thought Soni had added a 300ft antenna module as an option. :D

Be glad I couldn't get my hands on a HET because I would have bobbed me one of those too! Why do people insist on griping about modified deuces in the "Deuce Modification and Hot-Rodding" forum? That's like wiping your butt before you take a dump. Pointless.

What kind of fuel mileage did you get in that big bastid? :D Congrats on the successful (partial) recovery. Good luck on getting it back to Alaska.

This thread should be moved to the railroad forum. Oh wait, we ain't got one. :deadhorse: Thanks for sharing the pics! That's some history right there.

No shot inside the toolbox? :mrgreen:

A quick search for MTVR in google even revealed a bobbed MTVR exists already! Lol.

:funny:

Do you have power steering on your deuce? I hope you do. That spool will be a bear in deep ruts and obstacles with manual steering!

I updated Hanksdeuce.com with a picture gallery for each of the following modifications: -5 ton Spare Tire Rack -Front Engine Mount -Intercooler Modifications -Allison AT545 Internal Filter Swap I'm now caught up on pictures. I need to get off my butt and finish the truck! A few teasers...

I updated HanksDeuce.com with a gallery for each of the following modifications: -Killer Dowel Pin Fix -Fuel System Mods -Engine Painted -Hydroboost Install Just a few teasers...

I really appreciate the kind words, Soni. Especially coming from a master military vehicle fabricator such as yourself. If I knew how to weld I would be a little more useful. Below is a picture of the solution for using the factory Deuce shutdown cable on the Cummins 6BT. It cost $0.34 for...

I updated my HanksDeuce.com website to show the install of the Cummins engine + Allison transmission (50 pictures to view!). Recent completions: 1) Finished manual shutdown cable install. I removed the factory electric shutdown solenoid crap. 2) Installed a new throttle pedal and cable. 3)...

Here's P3 Recovery doing a self recovery when he got stuck. I wonder why he didn't have the truck in reverse with light throttle while he's winching rearward? Maybe it had something to do with the parking brake PTO setup? http://youtu.be/_fVVLjfpEh0

Thanks for posting the 24R21 tire size Hawssie. I just spent a few minutes pondering what they would look like on my bobbed deuce. They are Michelin XZLs. I'd need to find 21" rims though. Not much to choose from.

I haven't had a chance to install the Grote flasher unit. I've been too busy trying to get it actually running first since the motor swap. :D

Baton Rouge Rubber House can make the hoses while you wait. On Choctaw Drive near Airline Hwy. They have every fitting known to man for a fluid or air in a hose.
