    Why do the Hydraulic Head clips fall off.

    James, Now that you have the plunger out I would try and back-cut the slots for the retainer clip prongs so these prongs can be bent-in past the vertical to keep retainer tight even if sticky. I just received a new Chinese head and the retainer fell off in my hand when opening packaging...

    2.5 Locking hubs group buy

    Wondering if we can get detailed spec. with pictures. I now have Warn Locking Hubs and have internal metal galling problems that make it very hard to turn on and off. The threaded part is a casting that seems to be made of pot metal or at best cast aluminum. Thank for your help.

    Do I Really Need GL-1 in my trans ?

    I use Lucas as they suggest. Really quiets things down. Use Lucas in everything else, too.

    Fuel Issues - No Start

    One thing I've learned is that the HH slowly wears especially if fuel has been less than very clean i.e. WVO, etc. This causes the plunger tolerances to become too open, thus at the lower RPM of starting and idling the engine, sufficient pressure is not produced to open the injectors. Must...

    Technical Assistance needed for non-starting Deuce (76 degreess outside)

    Jeepsinker, As I understand you all had to replace the HH button to get Zev's truck to run. Will these trucks run at all without the button? There's a near new HH on my IP. I can get mine to run after shooting the flame heater to her and she will run good but can not get her to start, hot or...

    Removing, rebuilding, reinstalling Hydraulic Head

    After a process of elimination it looks like my HH is not getting up to pressure at slow RPM's to open injectors such as when starting up engine. I do have a way to start the engine but if RPM goes much below 1,000 she shuts down. If I had to guess the fuel is getting past the plunger until...

    Deuce Injector Pump , starting an unknown Deuce or IP work..Beware of Runaway

    Could use a 24 volt solenoid valve after the fuel filters wired parallel with intank fuel pump. All you have to do is what comes naturally, and that is flip the in cab stop switch off. All fuel sources are stopped.

    Fuel sticker violation in NC

    Luckily, here in Florida I run a one-time fee Antique Tag on my 1969 M36A2C. I believe the fee was weight based yet reasonable for just one time. As I understand this tag is covered by reciprocity agreement for the whole country.

    Feeler for M35A2 Hard Tops

    There's nothing wrong with making a improved version. Many of us are not nutty on originality but find functionality and quality more important for the trucks we actually use for something. Love to have a top made out of fiberglass, with no rear window, side and windshield eaves built in.

    Universal electric wipers, modify?

    Sure would be nice if we could contact the manufacture to see if other degrees of travel were available. Speed changing would be nice, too. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

    Real world SPICER limitations..

    JD, I'm very interested in changing over to the DT-360 but was wondering if there are any PITA issues that would be helpful to know before installing into a duece such as bell housing and motor mounts. Thanks

    How to improve MPG of LDS 465 1A engine

    I found using Lucas in all gear boxes, diffs and engine gave me more top end speed and a much quieter running truck. Sure worth a try. Good luck.

    The best lockout hubs for a Deuce

    Sorry to say, my Warn hubs stink. The threaded part inside that turns to engage lock hub seems to be made of a pot metal casting thus easily gulling and making it almost impossible to turn by hand. I'm in the process of making replacements out of steel like they should have been in the first...

    Changing caster angle solved problems with G-177 tires

    I didn't realize there was a high side? Has anyone tried doing this instead of shims? If so, how much did you take off for what tire size? Thanks

    Fiberglass top

    Ted Korpi Sorry, I forgot to ask if he is a manufacturer or just an individual who happened to have a fiberglass top you bought? I'm trying to find someone who can custom make me one. Thanks for patience, Orren

    Door Hinge pins

    Stainless hinge pins I don't understand all the contortions you guys are going through? Just go to stainless pins/bolts like I made for the tailgate hinges. That's the end of problems and stronger, too. I've not had to change out my door hinge pins yet but I would probably cut down a stock...
