    GL-1 Gear Oil Alternative

    I'll keep the fire going. I just changed my trans and transfer case oil this weekend with Non Detergent 40W per M35Tom's recommendation. Guess what, I got about 3 gallons of old oil to burn in the tank. My transfer case is much quieter and my transmission no longer grinds going into 4th...

    Deuce driving tips

    Check your brakes before getting underway. Your Master Cylinder is under that little "trap door" on the driver's side, verify that you have BFS in it. Check for leaks to ensure you still have oil in your transmission, transfer case, motor, etc. If everything is dry on the outside, it probably...

    Deuce injector pump questions

    Have you pulled the side cover off the IP to ensure the fuel cutoff is moving? The rod has a tendency to stick in the "off" position if left that way for a while even if the outside rod appears to be pushing in when you push the fuel control cable in. Verify that, it'll only take 10 minutes or...

    Another home made glow plug removal method

    I used the OTC tool to unthread 6 swollen plugs in my truck. Swapped all of them with AC 60G. 2 months later, I had the same issue but only 4 swollen plugs. I removed the resistor bank from the firewall and wired the glow plug relay to the main 12V terminal on the firewall and have had no...

    Albany Ga pickup needed

    I'll toss this back up to the top since the OP hasn't tried to "make my wife pleased as pie" and no packages have showed up. Not that I really expected anything to. I picked up a few of gensets, offloaded them in my yard, loaded them on his truck and made a cool $20 for my time. I spent more...

    bleeding deuce brakes

    Bleed from Master to Airpack first, then get to the rear most axle, bleed the passenger rear, driver rear, passenger intermediate, driver's intermediate, passenger steer, driver steer. Here's something that will puzzle the debate, I changed a master and an airpack before the rally. Bled from...

    2012 Ga. Rally t-shirt order thread

    Richard, put my family on the "Bad" list. I thought I told Lee to send a check out and gave her you're card. I'm actually sure that I did but I'm not willing to fight her over it. I did put a check in the mail this evening for the 2 shirts I picked up on Sunday for my boys. It'll be there...

    Columbus, Georgia Veterans Parade

    Ok, a little more research on "Ugly Ranger", in more proper terms, The Honorable Lt. Ralph Fuller. My goodness, what an Honor to be considered to drive a truck for him. Lam Son 719 is a heck of a thread to read and I certainly feel honored that ya'll would allow me to drive anything associated...

    stiff transmission shifter

    drive it, oil will make it up there!!! From what I've read and following who I consider a Tranny Expert on these trucks, M35TOM who makes the taller overdrive kit recommends 40W Non Detergent Motor Oil. That's what's in my tranny and transfer case now. Shifts smoother and both boxes run...

    Death of a Multifuel

    I limit mine to 2300 due to worries about it spitting a rod. That still seems high and once I upgrade to a .69 overdrive and 395's, she won't see that many RPM constant anymore. However, I kept her on 2300 or better for the 5 hour trip back from the GA Rally and she's running strong as ever...

    Official 2012 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    Just got parked, no issues with Deuce other than 195 degree transfer case temp. I think it's overfilled but it's due an oil change now. Trans ran 160, Axles chunks and hubs 125 to 130 and engine block of 195. Guess who just got an infrared thermometer. Not bad, averaged 50 mph, traveled 180...

    Official 2012 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    CAMO Forward will be in Macon around 1400 for linkup. Add an M923 and M35A2 to the rear of the Order of March!!! We'll follow a group of trucks led by an F350 Dually! Slow is fine, the M35A2 will probably like a change of pace after following the M923 on the Interstate!!! We'll proceed as...
