That oil line may be cracked if it is still leaking. The line that used to go in the empty hole is the fuel tank vent line. On some trucks they were removed from there and had an axle vent screwed onto the line, leaving that open hole on the slobber tube. I have trucks done both ways here.

You'll probably be here later in the afternoon tomorrow then it looks like.

There is enough lubricity, but it can't stand up to the high shear loads as long as gear oil and will break down more quickly.

Either that or the master cylinder emptys out. That's why I check it every day.

Yeah if it was a leaking master cylinder or wheel cylinder I would be worried. An internal airpack seep doesn't scare me. I'm actually glad I found it. It is much more scary not knowing where the fluid is going.

Probably better not to drive it that way, but I check mine regularly and drive it daily. It is a very slow seep, and I don't see it blowing apart or anything. I've seen a lot of people drive much worse.

The long airpack is the old style.

Thanks for the advice. I'm not going to pull mine off the truck until I have a good unit to replace it with. As you know, I can't have my deuce down on me. Since I drained that fluid from it and blew it out good I can lock the brakes up again and have a good high pedal.

Looks like you are making good time! Travel safe.

I wouldn't use anything but an epoxy primer. Good stuff and cheap too.

If yo ever get any frame flex you will rip those fuel lines off. It looks like you at least got a filter with a built in water separator though, that's good. I will be replacing my primary with a similar setup but in the factory spot. I found a primary filter with water separator that is five...

I have yet to see any with any arch at all. Remember these are military springs.

I've been meaning to take the plug out of the back side of my airpack( long style) to check for water in there for a while now. I'm referring to the small plug on the end of the air cylinder. I didn't get water out, but I did get quite a bit of brake fluid... Now I know where my brake fluid is...

Sounds fun! I always have too much junk in the back of mine for that.

I'm glad I bought six deuces to resell when I did... Made it by the skin of my teeth on the last one.

If you switch to dot3 you will have major problems because dot3 absorbs water from the air. You need to stay with dot5. I've seen one gallon cans for around$60 on some of the surplus dealer sites. Peashooter also has a source for good priced fluid.

That's the same hood as is on the multifuel equipped five ton I'm cutting up right now.

You can't do I that way. You have to set up a date for peeps to plan for otherwise you'll have no turnout at all.

Looks like they had their reasons not to follow through on the idea. Shame, I would be up for it. I'd drive my deuce over.
