Hey All, Still working thru initial diagnosis on my 1078. One of the more troubling issues/symptoms is that the radiator cap is immediately pressurized (and venting) upon starting engine. There may be other causes (that I can't think of), but that tends to point to a failed headgasket (or...

Hey All, Another question.. I'm trying to get ahold of a PTO and hyd pump for my 1078 so I can run a crane. The winch parts would provide correct flow rate and pressure. Digging thru the parts list TM I get: B550133364 for the pump (Can't seem to ID brand) parker p/n 276XMFJX-D5XK for...

Hey All, I have a '95 1078 that is showing some odd symptoms... To start with, I don't use it much (right now), about 10-15 min every couple weeks. I don't have much time to work/play with it, so I keep usage minimal until I understand all its quirks. So, starting a month or so ago, I...

There are many threads out there about fixing your head gasket, and I encourage all to search and find them. Lots of great info out there. That said, I just did mine, and I collected a bunch of stuff I found and put it in one place (this thread) as well as adding a list of what I bought to do...

Hey Y'all So with a new headgasket back in and most of the truck back together, I took the often given advice and decided to test my injectors. I am happy that I managed to build a pop tester with stuff I had in my garage (though Enerpak pumps and swagelok fittings aren't really normal garage...

Hey All, I'm looking for some advice on the "best-practice" way to change oil after a headgasket change. TM says change oil when finished - sure, but I'm looking for more details. I was very careful when removing stuff and cleaning the block, but it's nearly inevitable that some junk fell...

Hey All, I'm working on a fuel filter setup for my deuce. I made some hints about this in one of my threads, but I figured I could put it all in one "development" thread. That way I (and others) have an easier way of keeping track of all the useful comments. Couple pics of the CAD design to...

Hey All, I need a sanity check. I think... So I have a USAF deuce with the dual circuit brakes. I recently rebuilt two short airpacks and replaced the two that were in there. I also replaced the MC, with one from Peashooter. Functionally the same, but has remote reservoir and integrated...

Hey All, I found several threads (from circa '08 ) on how to crimp the standard connectors (that we call Packard) on deuces, but I haven't found much lately. Also, a simple mod that I made to my crimp tool made it much easier to use, so I thought I'd post a summary. First of all, the...

Hey All, I was unable to find any discussion of this with searches, which actually makes me question my search abilities a bit... Anyway, the bumperettes are in the way of a winch/hitch project on the backside of my deuce, so I removed them. I'd rather not have to figure out how to put them...

This would figure, but at least what I have is in good shape. Since I can't replace all the seals... So, the back story: 1988 USAF deuce. Dual circuit brakes. Two long airpacks. One has broken mounting stem. Decided to source 2 short ones (used) and rebuild. Then replace both long ones with...

Hey All, The perfectionist side of me and the OCD side ganged up on me last night and I couldn't sleep because I was worried I couldn't get the 45 degree -6 AN fitting out of the inlet to the booster pump, and I really need that to be -8 AN so that it matches all the inlet line that I'm putting...

Hey All, I have a dual circuit brake deuce. '88 USAF model. On of my airpacks has the rear mounting stud broken off (both are long style). My plan has been to go thru the brake system rebuilding or replacing as I go, this just accelerates part of the plan. So, I'd prefer to have short...

Hey all, I must be normal. 'Cause as the FNG, I sure have a lot of questions... And here, I'm not even sure if this question belongs here or in the deuce section... Anyway, on to it. I have a Deuce. I have a flatbed tandem 5 ton utility trailer (with questionably functional surge brakes -...

Hey All, In an attempt to get some parts in stock to be able to rebuild my brake cylinders, I ordered the NAPA UP45 cylinder rebuild kits - from their online store. Here's the response... *************** Thank you for shopping on NAPAonline.com. We apologize for the delay in contacting you...

Hey All, I spent the bulk of yesterday searching for this and didn't find an answer, specific to USAF A2s. Can you do a remote brake fluid reservoir on a dual ciruit USAF late model M35A2? Ideally, I would think you could do it just like the single circuit brakes. Tap into vent line port...

Hey All, First of all, thanks for the answers to the few "pre deuce" questions I've posted. And now, I'm happy to announce that I am no longer "pre deuce" I found an '88 air force model in pretty nice shape, about 3 hours (in a car) from me. Picked it up today, and drove it 4+ hours home...

Hey All, I'm, with any luck, not far from getting a deuce. I've been searching but I still have a couple unanswered questions. First, one purpose of this truck would be to transport a Kubota M series tractor ~5500lbs. It fits in the bed, width wise, by the numbers, and should be OK length...
