I posted this in another thread to answer a question if there are specific values that bolts are supposed to torqued too. The answer is yes, because what you are really doing from an engineering/physics standpoint is stretching the thread a predetermined amount. Not so important on various...

Chris at Memphis Trucks taught me a really easy way to remove the front axle inner oil seals for replacement. I would like to share it with my fellow soldiers. This is done after removing the front brake assemblies, bearing spindles and axles. You simply take a 10' long piece of 1/2" steel pipe...

I drove my bobber to work tonight and it is snowing. I had my Ouverson hubs in the locked position while in 2wd. Can I engage my front axle via the air shift transfer case lever while my truck is rolling/moving? I've read the operator's manual. I've read a few TMs and done a bunch of Googling...

Last week my son and I installed two new 6TL batteries in my truck. Yesterday, I installed three new fan belts. I decided to drive my bobber to Home Depot. Then something odd happened when I climbed in the truck to drive back home. When I turned on the master switch the engine started without my...

I installed one of those wiring converters from Erik's that makes the front marker lights come on with the headlights. When I switched to "service drive" it worked just as it should in the parking lot. The headlights and park/marker lights were both on. I decided to run a few errands, so I fired...

Hello all, I thought I'd include a few pictures of my Deuce. So far, I've done some brake and electrical work on it. It has a Whistler turbo and hydraulic power steering. It's a drop side too. The tires are Firestone T831s and they are 11R-20 43" diameter. I wanted to keep it looking like a...

Well, my rear brake tubing was connected directly from the frame to the rear axle brake tee without a hose. I cut the line, double flared it and installed the proper hose. Then I bled the brakes and went for a test drive. It seemed to work well, but I discovered an air leak at a fitting for the...
