Re: RE: larc-v for sale via auction
Not to mention he installed a custom built 27 speed Roadranger Trans and triplex fully synchronized transfer for a total of 81 forward speeds. .1 OD x .1 OD for a final reduction of .01. Cruises at Mach 3.4 at 1800 RPM...............
When I was looking around for a U6TL for my truck I tried the local Tractor Supply store. They carry Exide batteries but they did not have a listing for the U6TL so they called wherever it is they get them from and asked if they were available. Yes, Exide makes U6TL batteries but they will not...
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Engine Prelubricator
Ernie - Did you ever determine the actual thread type & size on the pump? I would think you can use a Deuce starter relay with no problem.
Actually I did mine without replacing any parts/gaskets. The turbo gasket came off w/o any damage so I just reused it. Second turbo I pulled out, gasket stuck to both the turbo and manifold and got trashed. I've seen some suggest you can install the turbo w/o a gasket but I wouldn't do it. I'd...
Try more than one Interstate dealer. I called the 5 closest, got quotes from $100-$165. NAPA gets $165. The correct Interstate/NAPA part number is U6TL, The Deka number is 6TMF. Had two near new Dekas in my truck when I bought it, one had a dead cell, replaced it with an Interstate U6TL. The...
Re: RE: Re: RE: Engine Prelubricator
The 600 PSI only applies to the system the pump was designed for or to a static pumping condition. The Deuce engine lube system should have a much lower back pressure than a hydraulic actuating system. Think of it as the pump pumping with the discharge port...
Head immobilization and strapping to a rigid backboard are SOP in MV crashes, falls and any other type of injury where there is the slightest possibility of a neck or back injury. While the spine is quite strong, it can be easily injured by a comparatively minor force applied at an odd angle to...
RE: Re: RE: Lockers
From Kenny's comments, it appears that Detroit Lockers are self engage/disengage based on either a torque or slippage difference between the two wheels on the axle. Somewhat similar to the sprage on the front drive. Deuces were sometimes equipped with air lockers (I believe...
I put one of those in the stack on my Deuce. I did not have s sound meter at the time, so I cannot say how much it reduced the exhaust noise. The maker claims a 5-7 dBa noise reduction and I did notice a slight reduction in the exhaust noise so I'd guess their claim is pretty close.
However...
The "C" turbo is called the "Whistler" because of its VERY loud and distinctive turbo whine. The "D" turbo is quiet. The exhaust side of the "C" turbo tapers from bottom to top, somewhat resembling a snail shell, while the exhaust side of the "D" turbo is noticeably wider and does not taper. See...
ONLY if you already have the filter system AND only if you are only filtering a very small quantity of oil. If you have the filter setup already and are filtering, for example, the drain oil from your vehicle(s) for reuse, that will work. If you have to buy the hardware or are filtering a lot of...
Here is a link to the Dieselcraft centrifuge site. Their model OC-20 centrifuge does 55 gallons per hour and costs $300 with mounting plate and control valve.

Here is a link to a thread on the biodiesel forum with a discussion on how it performs...
If a magnet sticks to them they sure ain't aluminum or "pot metal"!!!! Last I knew, magnets only stick to iron & iron alloys (i.e., steel). I'd send those babies back and get the correct aluminum shear pins. Busting up your winch because your $1.60 shear pin didn't shear when it was supposed to...
Re the parking brake: They can be a perennial PITA. If you have the later style parking brake handle - the kind with the adjustment knob at the end of the handle - try this:
1. Loosen the adjustment on the handle as far as it will go.
2. Crawl under the truck, find the park brake, and locate...
If you need some, check your local auto parts stores until you find one that carries the "Dorman" line of auto hardware. They have a size that will fit. The ID is the correct size, the OD is a little smaller than the original but larger than the bolt head so it works just fine.
I recently purchased a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD LT2 Crew Cab 4x4 pickup with the Duramax Diesel and Allison 6 speed auto trans. A great truck, 365 hp, 660 ft-lbs of torque, this baby can really fly. It is rated to pull a 13,000 lb tag trailer and 13,600 lbs with a gooseneck or fifth...
Not exactly correct. PulseTech advertises their devices as "Battery Maintenance Chargers". They are essentially trickle chargers with pulse technology to condition the batteries. While they do not have the power to recharge a fully discharged battery (at least not in a reasonable amount of...
Bypassing the FDC does not affect your multifuel capability. The multifuel is still a multifuel, with or without the FDC bypassed or not. All the FDC does is automatically compensate for the fuel's heat content (read: relative power) so a constant throttle position results in the same engine...
