    My first heavy truck xm215

    I see you didn't get enough presents and want pinion seals wrapped and delivered too. When we went through this we ended up with NOS parts from Brian Asbury. If you can find NOS, buy them. I have more axles to do this spring. The original Levy part number is 7413229 so maybe that will help...

    My M135 Quad cab

    That is hilarious......and educational at the same time. Gunfreak says the nicest things but try it with an Irish accent after some rum and eggnog. My TM's don't say anything about this stuff. So what kind of performance did Majortom get out of his cheapest, easiest conversion? Gunfreak, what...

    I could not buy my ride so I..........

    Good to see a neighbour getting away for winter. I bet it's not much warmer in Copenhagan but it's a chilli wack back home here at -20c and right around freezing in the Wack. Is that truck in Canada or somewhere else? She'd look good chasing sasquatch up a mountain beside the 1010. Would you...

    What type dipstick fits the 6.2?

    I have a 6.2 under my butt today and I seem to fit fine. I have a few dipsticks in the truck with me but the engine oil dipstick on my 1985/6 6.2l M1010 is 20.5" long to the rubber collar with the full mark sitting at 2.5". Johnny the drinker said same size as the 350 butttt if you go off the...

    Getting the old girl started again

    Thanks for Hoarding Butch. We're going to need that stuff. If it's not the starter (hoping for a quick starter fix) too much fuel could 'hydraulic' the cylinders and cause it to turn slow. Other damage can occur as well. If the plugs are 'wet' after turn over...... ensure fuel pressure is...

    My M135 Quad cab

    Looks factory because it is factory. Thanks for the pics. Your air-tank location and fitting picture somehow got me thinking of a couple of mini air-bags in place of the springs. Can't believe I'm talkin' like that,,,,, To keep these trucks all in one place one of our brightest M211 builders...

    Getting the old girl started again

    No Start G-749 troubleshooting Ignition and Fuel Here are the ignition troubleshooting pages out of 9-8024. It runs through a couple of tests for the primary and secondary ignition circuits. Taking all 6 wires off and testing one at a time against the 'cylinder head' does not come with...

    Getting the old girl started again

    I just went through the archive links to see if someone had a start up 'trouble shooting' list better then the TM's. Haven't found one yet. I only checked the posts that had clear "Thread Titles". If nothing else this link is full of entertainment over the last 8 or so years...

    Doghead Zapped Santa's Ocular Ok, I beat Doghead by a minute but that evil look makes me wish I didn't. The brake pedal in your photos looks new. Mine has 20,000 miles on it and the wear is there. Looks like you've got your work ahead of you but it's brand new, Great Score. Just checking...

    Welcome to the SS Early Deuce forum and thanks for bringing the Limo. Simply breathtaking. You made it look easy so more pictures of all those floor mods and home made panel solutions would be greatly appreciated. It's been a G-749 Christmas around here and you just took it over the top...

    Welcome to SS and the Early Deuce dream world. Is that a jack-stand under the front axle? Was it off the ground? What a find! It looks very complete, a future museum piece. How's the steering wheel, roof, hood? It's got west coast mirrors, a ladder, rare box......... it is Christmas! Haven't...

    Made is home with the new Deuce

    One of my business partners got a ticket for a little snow covering the license plate, on my truck, and we disputed it just last week. Up here we go to the Crown Prosecutor (CP), sit in a room, discuss our position and the CP decides if we were more right then the Law Enforcement Officer(LEO)...

    Rollie the Goalie mechanic cautioned me on the starter hook-up. I'll follow up on it but if it hasn't spun in a while it might need some special hammers. There's another note somewhere about shocking the generator and it's on a tech tip sheet I can dig up tomorrow if someone doesn't get to it...
