i think the sound of the whine is the typical sound alternators make when charging. something is making it go to fill charge. i would guess it is the voltage regulator is messing up. i know someplaces online you can get new ones, but it requires soldering the old one off and the new one on.

definately take your time taking them off,if need be, tighten a little first sometimes helps break rust loose before you even start to loosen. then loosen a little and dont turn too much so you dont rip apart the captured nut. spray with lube, back and forth a little more, spray, repeat. if the...

well last night was the point of recovery for me hitting rock bottom on my deuce. by rock bottom i say im done taking things apart and looking for things to fix. the heads are back on and i only got them pre torqued down to 110 ft/lbs so far. the TM shows the stepping sequence to torque the...

i think there is a pressure reliefe valve somewhere on the IP... has a spring and a ball or something. im not an expert, but what happens if that was sticking, maybe in the open position? just a thought if it was stuck open, it would cause pressures to be lower thus lower power... at higher RPM...

last night my progress got rained out. a couple sparatic rain drops made me decide i should just leave the deuce covered up. today is supposed to be nice, so i am going to definately get the heads back on. i think i am going to use the spray on the gaskets. ill give it a whirl, see what happens...

just an update on my turbo, i had a professional turbo guy look at mine. i have a little play on my turbo shaft and he said it feels fine. he said he could not get the bushing or bearings for my turbo (which is a 3LM) but he could get the seals. i dont know the part number though. at least if...

does anybody have the door hinge bolts for a deuce with west coast mirrors? they are 1/2" hex on the top and 1/4-28 on the threads. PM me if you do please and thank you!

well last night i pulled both cylinder heads off to do the gaskets. turns out i had the newer style gaskets head gaskets on the truck. i think my real leak making the block oily was leaky manifold gaskets. then the fan blowing around just spreads out the mess. so they probably did not need to be...

Happy new generator. I bought my first generator from GL, a MEP-002A and its a sweet heart of a machine. Only had 2 hours on it when i bought it. I like the electrical box on there that was put on. I want to do that to mine but dont have the heart to drill through the panel.

I am guessing it would be a civi part number for the allison transmission. I am courious on this because i have a gauge, but no sending unit. I dont have an A3, only the gauge. Not sure what ill do with the gauge, but it eould be nice to know where i can get a sending unit. Maybe try a big...

i have the insulated floor mats for an M35A3. the floor mats are in decent shape with the exception of the right side floor mat is cut, but i have the piece that was cut out of the floor mat. i also have aM35A3 dash (metal only that has the cut outs for the extra controls the A3 has).I could...

thanks pat. I’m glad you are learning something from me tearing it down... i sure am! i guess one think i learned was you can always keep going farther and farther in to the teardown if you wanted to. for instance, when I pulled the cab off and saw how easy the transmission and transfer case is...

Im working on taking the heads off to change the head gaskets and having one heck of a time getting the special wrench over the cylinder head nuts on the left side.... im looking for some encouragement..... borderline on aborting the job and only doing intake/exhaust gaskets. I already took some...

Did you check the shot off plunger on the hydraulic head to make sure its pushed in and not stuck out?

last night i made some good progress stripping down the A3 cab. all the seats are out, flooring, heater etc. i have to weld up the cowl where the hood hinge bolts on the passenger side. it is cracked where the hood hinge bolts go through closest to the windshield. . i don’t know what could have...

Im not sure what style is on the truck now. There are not any tabs sticking out between the head and the block. I know the one style has the weep slots and the tabs that stick iut the side. The ones i bought are a darker color and have the integrated fire rings. I was told that they are the new...

wait, i take that back! i drove Doghead's deuce! thanks Doghead! :mrgreen:

does anybody have advise if i should change my head gaskets while i have all the sheet metal off? the main reason i am doing it is because the turbo side of the block gets dirty from oil after a while and i dont know what condition the gaskets are in. it runs fine and decent power (this is the...

its funny that this thread got brought up.... i just bought a set of synchros and gasket kit from kublos today. i figure since i have the cab off, it will be a sinch to get the transmission out. for the price of another used transmission or even using my trasmission (which is still good just...

Well i have a bunch of parts now. i took a trip to kublos and now have an M35A3 cab that i will be putting on my chassis. I have a right front fender and a bunch of other nick-nack parts. Since i have the cab off and everything is easy to get to, i was thinking about putting head gaskets on...
