Well today I finally got my friends M35 to start! After installing a repaired fuel injector pump, I proceeded to do the timing. His engine is a LDT465-1 and SO i CHOSE THE ENGINE DAMPER TO BLOCK TIMING ALIGNMENT ACCORDING TO THE DIAGRAM OFFERED THE TM'S But the damper doesn't have the exact engine number, so I choose to align to the midpoint on the damper. See photo of damper markings. Then I aligned the marker in the 4 bolt window atop the injector pump, then I verified the red marker on the gear in the hydraulic head. Well, it would start with brake fluid and then continue to run on diesel, but would not start on diesel itself!

So I realigned the damper to the first marking , effectively advancing the fuel injection on the compression stroke. Put it all together and bingo! It starts immediately and runs smooth too...

I did my Maintenance on the Duece. Grease, Oil, Fuel filters and checked the vents for the Trans and transfer case. Both vents were non functional. Replaced them with 1/4" poly tubing and ran the vent into the air filter intake area.
Topped of the brake fluid and drove it around.
I need a new tach cable and to tighten up the gauge clusters. I also need to fix my light showing the front air locker is engaged.
Grtting ready to drive it next Sunday down to meet a few others trying to pay tribute to soldiers.

Working On My Deuce

I purchased a winch this weekend and got the winch on the truck. I still have the pto to go and I need a driveshaft. I got a roof mount stereo case for an ATV and installed it in my truck. Worked out really good.

Took a page out of RustyStud's book and redid my exhaust with an elbow, short section of flex, and a stack flap.


Trying to get the truck ready for a little show this weekend. Not sure if I'll make it.

That's looking nice; where did you get the flap?

I had read somewhere (blasted failing memory) that a stack flap wasn't good of a Deuce & to leave the angled exhaust. I always thought flaps would be better (& they look cool) at keeping junk & rain our of the pipes. Also wouldn't need a soda bottle to climb up & put on to keep the junk out. Guess I'm asking for confirmation that flaps are safe for my Deuce (when I finally get it).

Exhaust stack flaps are perfectly safe to operate on these trucks. Ensure they fit correctly and are flush when static. I have them on several trucks and tractors. Tractor Supply carries a nice assortment of sizes.
Change the cheap bolt out with a good SAE bolt w/ lock nut.

There's something good about the the sound of a flap with an occasional clack at idle.

The stack flap is a "Good" thing to have. That's why the military installed them on the deuces later on. Keeps the rain and crap out when not in use. Just be sure to put the flap facing the rear of the truck !

G'day everyone,....

Just be sure to put the flap facing the rear of the truck !

I am surprised how many people fit them incorrectly.

I can never seem to remember to put my jug on until it's already raining. Then it's a trip outside in the wet and the cold and the mud. A flap is on my list.

I'd probably remember if I could put the jug on right after I shut down the truck.. till I get a flap maybe I'll switch to a metal can.

Our Deuce does not have the Whistler Turbo.

Does a flapper effect the tone of the whistle? Or is that all "internal" with the turbo.

Which makes me think.... Does anyone make a WHISTLE DEVICE that will "Sing" in the passing exhaust?... Just wondering.

Carry on.

Had to find a new parking spot. Still managed to finish up the countertops, mount the breaker box and do a few other little things.

Man that looks nice!
