I SEVERELY need a new master cylinder for my Deuce. My Deuce has developed a master cylinder leak. Saturn Surplus has new M/Cs for $100, but no rebuild kits, Ted's Trucks N Stuff wants $82.00 for a new M/C. Does anyone have a line on a more reasonably priced new or rebuilt Deuce Master Cylinder...

The bearings (front or rear) do NOT receive grease from any other component. They must be individually packed. There are specific bearing packing tools available, all the ones I have tried sucked. I have packed more tapered bearings than I can remember. I use the "PALM" method. I put a good...

Very nice job, great explanation of what was done and great picks. Great to see another of my wheel socket wrenches in service (I've sold over 100 so far including 17 over the pond), with no complaints. My only suggestion - After removing the outer bearing cone, wrap the spindle threads with a...

Fluid or grease? If fluid (as in axle lube) then you need a seal replacement. If it is just grease, it may be the inner clamp was installed wrong (as mine was when I picked it up from GL) and you just need to reseat the inner clamp. It took me three tries before I finally figured out (with help...

Gerhard - You ARE the man! Where do you come up with these great illustrations?

Gerhard - Would 15:50s on a 10" rim with stock M35 backspace clear the drag link? Or would you still have to reduce the backspace to clear the drag link?

When pulling the hub off, why not: A. Remove the outer nut, lock ring, inner nut and outer seal. B. Carefully wrap a couple of turns of duct tape over the spindle threads, and then slide the hub off? The inner bearing has about a 3/16" larger bore than the outer bearing, so if you were careful...

That would probably help. I might need a couple anyhow in case I screw one up, plus I need to figure out how to make a cylinder compression adapter as well. I can buy a compression adapter that "almost fits" for about $40, one that fits just right the first time would be a lot better. Marcus -...

Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: will non turbo multifuel accept a turo s I have exactly all those parts except for the turbo and a new exhaust gasket. I reused my old gasket when I pulled my turbo off to drill & tap for the pyrometer probe. The old gasket seems to be working quite fine. I didn't break a...

Re: RE: Re: will non turbo multifuel accept a turo setup?? Kelly - I'm trying to sort out this info - you said you bought a "clean air kit" for $275. I've heard of these before but never knew what was in them. So I'm guessing you got a complete exhaust system, the turbo to air cleaner "U"...

Does anyone have a junk fuel injector nozzle they can part with? Doesn't make any difference if the nozzles are plugged or not, just as long as it will seal to the cylinder head. I need one to make an adapter for my cylinder balance tester. I'll have to take it apart and pull out all the...

This is basically a no-brainer conversion. The non-turbo blocks were all drilled and tapped for the turbo oil supply and drain lines (the LD blocks were all built from LDS blocks, all LDS engines had turbos, all they did was put pipe plugs in the oil fitting holes). Here is the basic list of...

Yeah, a weekend job if you own a fully equipped HD truck service shop!

I'd just powerwash occasionally when you go to town. Mine leaks about the same, in the identical location. The deuce head gaskets have some sort of weep holes in the gasket leading from near the fire ring out to the edge of the gasket on that side. Supposedly there to allow condensed coolant to...

Ask and Ye shall receive!

Re: RE: BRAKE LIGHT You of course meant CONDUCTIVE grease; a DIELECTRIC grease is an insulator. A very common mistake. "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - A dielectric, or electrical insulator, is a substance that is highly resistant to electric current."

Once bitten by the big green bug, the questions and postings never ends (unless you are cranetruck, who no longer has questions, only answers).

OK, I'm going to give up the discussion on what gear to use when backing Pumbi's truck off the flat bed. I am only a dumb Registered Professional Engineer with 38 years experience with General Motors and probably 20 years experience wrenching at the "Shade Tree" garage. You guy have one opinion...
