In the "good ole' days" when radials were a "novel" idea for trucks, they were mounted on the typical split rims (which were Standard Issue in the day) using radial tubes. It has only been in the last 20 years or so that truck rims have gone mostly tubeless-non split rim. Back in the day, I...

Scootertrs; Glad to hear that you conquered the problem. I can sympathicize with your problems. I lost my left leg in a car accident many years ago and the clutch is something I manage, easily with the deuce, and in some other vehicles I use, it is not so easy. One thing I have learned is...

The glass maybe pitted from age. That would possibly explain why a razor scarper might not do a decent job of cleaning the glass. I have found that Acetone will clean off most all overspray and paint marking on the glass. My mirror on the passenger side is rather worn, as glass goes. I found...

The manual heater system for your truck does not appear to have vacuum lines for the controls. Everything is manual and uses cables. The heater system is usually in the bypass circuit of the coolant system so that water circulates within that system regardless of the position of the...

I bought a class 4 hitch at a junkyard in VG condition for 45$. The spacing of the mounting flange was too wide for my deuce so I used 3x3 1/4 web angle as adapters and bolted the angles to the hitch frame and the whole assembly to the frame of the deuce with 1/2" grade 8 bolts torqued to...

As a preliminary test you can feel the inlet and outlet of the heater hoses and see if both are "HOT". If so, I would suspect the adjustment of the blend doors. If for some reason the coolant filter is clogged, or even the wrong one, there would be no flow therefore no heat in the return hose...

I agree with all of the above reasons! I drove by the local middle school in a nearby town when the kiddies are being let out and all the crossing guard could do is look and stare. The kids thought it was kool! I sold a Corvette last year to buy my truck and wonder now, why I did not do...

I must add to this intellectual discussion.... Now the maximum velocity of the towing vehcile is ......25? maybe 30? downhill, with a tailwind. You might go faster, but your brakes will not stop you. I would venture that this is far more load than the deuce was ever conceived of carrying...

What everyone must remember that which state you reside in makes a HUGE difference in how much auto insurance premiums are. I am in New York State and Commercial truck insurance is not cheap; especially when you do not have a commercial business policy to go with it. Additionally, with...

First question....Does the truck have a vibration when the hubs are in and the transfer case is in 2wd? I had a Suburban with the same front axle and the slip joint on the front driveshaft was worn out and vibrated when the hubs were in and the transfer case was in 2wd. The truck did not have...

The appropriate length for a quarter wave is 61" for 46 MHz. The next trick is to make sure your coax length is correct for the frequency so the SWR is the lowest possible for your rig. Let me know what type of coax you are using and I can figure out what length it needs to be. Hope this...

Hi Kevin; I checked through the TM's and it would appear your unloader in the air pressure governor is not allowing the compressor to apply its output to the system. The system apparently either allows pressurized air to the system, or else diverts the output of the compressor the atmosphere...

Hi; Barring a defective malfunctioning compressor, I would check the "emergency" air connector at the rear. On my deuce, the valve leaks some and will be replaced. This is with the valve off. I leaks also with it on and a trailer connected. In general, I would suspect a big leak as opposed to...

As I recall, the only reason I did not have to have a weigh slip was because the SF-97 I got had the weiight for the vehicle on the document. If I understand your situation properly, you are buying the truck "used" from John and that would make things a bit different. I have had the honor of...

I am thinking it may be a burnt valve. RL

I also agree with G-FORCE. I listened to the video a couple of times and the poppling would be indicative a valve leak. I think the advice to check for which cylinder is the offending one would be wise and also would help in the diagnostic process. A compression test would be most...

adjusting over center preload The steering box has two adjustments. One is the preload on the reciprocating ball and screw section which is factory adjusted and should not require any further adjustment. The top of the box has an allen screw and lock nut. This adjusts the "overcenter...

First: The Brake system is NOT an Air over Hydraulic. It is an Air assisted hydraulic system. The only difference between this system and a vacuum or hydraulically boosted system is the fact that it uses air to assist braking effort. An M105 trailer uses an Air over hydraulic system. There is a...

I had an issue with my deuce last summer. I was travelling back to my residence after a long weekend and my brakes gradually came on over a distance of about 12 miles. I found the master cylinder was not returning the piston to the "released" position. I ended up stranded on the side of the...

Advance auto parts part number BWD S3465 ACDELCO D6281D I would try a chevy dealer. That is a very common part and is used on literally every GM car made without pulse wipers since about 1981 Just my two cents RL
