    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Been bad about doing anything to the Deuce so since the yard is getting pretty empty I thought I would give it a quick wash job and keep it under cover for now. Need to start getting it back in better shape as I seem to have forgotten to give it any TLC. The 1088 can keep it company while I make...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Sat there wondering why I have too many military trailers. Addiction maybe a bad thing but rehab is for quitters. Good news is the two expandable and the one white trailer are sold. Keeping the two cargo trailers and my 373A2 camper / tool box trailer. Started to get more of the parts...

    How to remove the Fuel Shutoff Rod on the IP

    This is why we always leave the stop cable pulled out when we leave the truck. If the fuel control unit assembly wants to get sticky / stuck it is better to be in the no fuel than the wide open position. Also you might think about removing the fuel control unit assembly and do a deep cleaning...

    Wrecker Owners, Stand up and be Recognized!

    Became a grandfather Dec. 11 with a baby girl on my sons part in the mix. Still trying to clean off the 5 acres of all OD stuff collected so I can sell the property as I do not need two homes at my age. Yea my field is always solid even in the rain. Thanks for asking.

    3D Printed Tool for Hub Shimming/Setup

    Yes with the cut hub if your off as too tight or too loose you have to pull it back apart and correct with shims or remove shims. I still like the cut off hub way even if I have to go back in. I had to do all six of mine and after the second one I got faster and did not mind going back in.

    Wrecker Owners, Stand up and be Recognized!

    Well got rid of the last two 816's today and that leaves just the Air Force IH 5 ton left. So I am still in the wrecker club for now.

    The correct response to "Why do you need a military trailer?!!!"

    Correct answer is to hold all the OD stuff I really thought I needed.

    Fuel system problem

    Guess if the fuel control unit assembly is moving free and springing back from the seven oclock position to about the four oclock then next step. Guess smart thing would be to check delivery valve by removing it and cleaning out the port of any crud that might be stopping it from closing...

    Fuel system problem

    With just the in tank fuel pump running ( motor not running ) the fuel is always returning to the tank after it goes through the injection pump. With motor running same thing it is a circulatory system. So she will fire up on starting fluid but not stay running. You could try and look over the...

    deuce wont start.

    As you might have seen me and my "friend" banter at this all the time. We through out ( guess) the most common problems but it is so hard to fix a problem without hands on and checking what we think could be the problem. Truthfully the Troubleshooting the 465 manual is the faster and my .02 the...

    deuce wont start.

    The delivery valve just gets gummed up and will not hold the pressure to be delivered because it is staying open. It opens and closed between every delivery stroke to each injector. Only thing is checking spring is ok and valve and the port are cleaned out. We had one member the spring was...

    deuce wont start.

    How bout checking the delivery valve on the side if the head in the pic to start with if you did not already. After removing the cap there should be a spring and the valve. If the valve does not want to come out easy you might try with the in tank pump running and give it some help to come...

    Algae in Generator Fuel

    I use biocide's in all the trucks. The problem with a couple of the fuel tanks was the Asphaltene or black taffy that gathers in the bottom of the tank. They do make a product that is supposed to break it up but it can run through the system / injector pump and injectors. Best not to let that...

    Stuttering/starving at acceleration - ideas

    Taking apart a Deuce IP that you bought, took it apart cleaned it up pretty and put it back together and never installed, wow. I sent you parts free so you could do it. I also gave my Son a whole one to take to his high school shop class so they too could take it apart multi times just to get...

    M35a2 Wont start

    We remove the bleeder fitting and using a fitting that screws in to that port then the gage fits on that fitting. As for the in tank pump you can let it run just by it's self as long as you want to get the system filled and fuel returning to the fuel tank. Sometimes I will turn on the in tank...
