May be in wrong forum. Please advise if so. Both my deuces have broken studs on right side of xfer case. Is this common ? I had to jackleg drill and tap on my 67 with xfer still on truck. Not fun but I don't have a xmission jack and can't afford a new one big enough to handle it. Today the studs...
BUMP. mine will be similar to 100dollarman's with a few mods. Less welding, more bolt and brace. Design still rattling around in my head. want to keep track of his.[thumbzup]
I understand the turbo only adds about 5hp. It was used primarily to clean up the exhaust.
Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I have 1 W/turbo, 1 W/O turbo. Can't tell any difference except the cloud I leave behind.2cents
YOU are your chief mechanic. roadside fixes are common. Don't let it spook you. take your time , study the TMs and have at it. There's always someone HERE if you get stuck and need an answer. I don't know what I'd do without this forum.[thumbzup]

My deuce had been ran for several years with nothing but WHO by the previous owner. It did however run better when I topped off the tank with 30 gal of fresh diesel.
I have received access to aproximately 500 gallons of new motor oil of different viscosities. 15wt to 50wt. No it's not hot. Oil became disposable due to a brand change in a large backup generator. Knowing the oil is not contaminated, would it be safe to pump straight into my deuce tank??
Started out just under 4k from a indivdual in SC. Foolishly drove it home to WV. NO PROBLEMS !! I had never driven or turned a wrench on one. God looks after drunks and fools, I don't drink. Since then 2k miles in 6mo. Daily Driver (work, church, daughters wedding, etc.) Tires, brake parts, odds...
OK, I checked everything out including pulling the pump. Funny, the pump will run upside down. Rattles like crazy upside down. It's trash. found new replacement for $151. Order it payday.:-D
