This was a success! I just want to say thank you to everyone who put in the effort to help me out. I'm new to this but am eager to learn. Without SteelSoldiers I would have been flying blind, tapping into the endless wealth of experience helped me greatly. The truck shifts nice, the air...

Yes I've done the FDC bypass, I was going to leave it at that but the thing that bothers me is the fact my truck was making oil before I got to work on it. I have eliminated every other source that could have caused it, but I know the IP can also pass fuel into the oil. The only other...

Finally have the new clutch in and the trans bolted back up. Everything I wanted to get done I've nearly completed. I have this one nagging thought that keeps bouncing around the inside of me head............................................. Should I dig into the IP? It's the only area I...

They have made it right, it's all good. Expedited shipping :-)

I'm on the up swing now. Heads are on, turbo and manifolds are back on, new rear main seal installed, airshift t-case installed and plumbed, Pyro and boost are partially installed, Fly wheel has been resurfaced, fire wall painted, all the intake parts painted also. I'll post some pictures up...

Yeah this is the juicy stuff. I'll explore the TM's and look for an exploded diagram of the transmission. That will help me understand how this all fits together. I can't deny TB58's logic here so I'll take the time to figure it out. If these guys are going through the trouble to customise...

Ok I'll read up on the booster pump. I have my EGT and boost gauges now. Drilled and tapped the exhaust manifold. For the boost probe I'm thinking I'll use 1 of the 2 holes on the air intake pipe leftover from the intake flame heater. I placed a large order for parts from 3 diferent vendors...

First off I want to thank you guys for all the help and wisdom. I have the new gaskets installed, I used the copper spray a gasket as recommended. The heads are torqued down to 157lbs as sated in the TM's for a TD block. My injectors are the 2 hole type and are currently being tested at a...

Yeah lifters and push rods in there. Its a good thing I dug in there as I pulled one of the lifters out by accident when I removed a push rod with too much vigor. **** surface tension strikes again. So while my heads and injectors are at the machine shop, I bypassed my FDC and got everything...

Thanks for all the input guys, I've got the truck all tore down. I'm sending the heads out to be resurfaced this week along with the injectors getting tested. When I turbo off I found fuel in it, quite a lot of fuel. That's a good sign my intake flame heater was leaking, which would also...

Thanks for all the suggestions, all very helpful. Gonna start tearing into her this weekend. She needs it. All the rubber Pipe couplers are cracked and a bit rotted. It's burping coolant bubbles from the base of the front head up near the fan, and I have an oil leak dripping from behind the...

Wow guys, this stuff is gold. Thanks for all the info. I will replace those lines also.

You do things the way I like to. Thanks Gimby, I was thinking of doing my pyro at the same time also.

My current job I'm working on is replacing my head gaskets. The TM's are pretty straight forward. In a perfect word what else would you guys add, replace, or fix while I have the truck apart?

Hello fellow enthusiasts, I have a few fixes and upgrades I need to start and finish on my Deuce. Up until this point I have referenced the TM's, various Threads, and even PM'd some of the more experienced members for advice on how to deal with certain problems or issues I've come across...
