This is the flatter style with the guard on the bottom and is the style I have on my twin cans. http://armysurpluswarehouse.com/2-1-2-ton-air-inlet-cap/

Wow! Looking good; your plumbing routing looks very clean. This is everything I want to do to mine. Which turbo and which Jakes did you end up using?

You mean a spare with fresh paint and thick plate glass on the top to decorate the living room? ;) I know my wife wouldn't allow it so deep down I'm hoping someone else can pull it off.

Ajax MD, what will you do with your old T-case? Rebuild it as a spare or sell it as a core or turn it into a living room coffee table...?

I disassembled my valve and here is what it looks like all exploded out. I really hope that the black chunks are not remnants of some seal but rather just sediment build up that took the shape of the inner valve cavity. It crumbles real easy like carbon from a combustion chamber.

For those that don't hang out in or visit the 5-ton section, there is now a 2.5 ton version of the HubHelper available for Deuce owners! Please check out the listing in the classifieds section here for more details...

Well, maybe not completely replaced but augmented with a new option. I will still make the one piece version, but many folks are keen on reducing the shipping size/cost and I understand why. I'm not sure what size of box this 2-piece version will fit in until I make one of them, but the...

I would want the full size version if I had a 10 ton.

The size difference between your 10 ton version and the 5 ton version is almost the same difference as the 2.5 vs 5. With the heavier gear reduction hubs of a 10 ton I would think about making the bottom piece a complete semi-circle that would attach to 6 lugs.

Yes, that works just fine. I'll send you a PM with details.

These are great shots! Keep'em coming!

I believe this is what Mrgior31513 was talking about as a way to reduce the shipping size/cost and I think this could work. The bottom part with 4 lug nuts attached would to the work and the top ring would attach with 2 lug nuts to help maneuver the hub. When not in use these two parts would...

doghead, thanks for the link. It seems those valve are made of gold for what they want for them. Isn't it just a ball valve? I like the repair option the most so I will tear into it soon and replace whatever o-rings and seals I find.

My fuel shutoff valve has 2 leaks currently since doing the dual fuel mod and loosening up the valve. The big leak around the threads I think I'll thicken up with teflon tape if those are pipe threads and if they're straight then maybe a new o-ring is in order. The leak at the shaft has me a...

What a fun adventure! So if we extrapolate your progression in truck acquisitions you should be acquiring a Mack NO next and then an M125, right? :wink:

Here is my list from my first post of this thread and I'm going to add links as I go to match up the completion of the things on this list and sorta check them off: Here is a short list (in random order) of what I would like to add to the truck: cab heat...

I gotta say I'm getting a little jealous watching this thread progress. My 813 also wants some 53s, but I keep telling it jakes and turbo first... Your rig will look good with those shoes on!

My water manifold has the black sludge that others have experienced so I'm going to do a flush/ clean with fresh coolant. However, when my heater fitting sprung a leak it left rust streaks all over my truck. I'm trying to remember what rust indicates- cavitation or electrolysis? If I get...

There is more than one way to skin a cat and I think I follow where you're going. I think it would be worth trying on the 5 ton version as shipping is more costly than I like. Since the 2.5 ton version fits in a flat rate box now ($19.95) I don't think I'll chop that one down any further. If...

It was TheQuaker's truck I was thinking was an A1 - my mistake. I'll have to correct my previous statement. Edit - I spy an air canister behind the drum of Dan's 939 series axle in post #40 so the 5-ton HubHelper obviously works on trucks with air brakes!
