    Deuce keeps getting air in fuel system

    Cavitation applies to both. The "air" that you see in cavitation isn't air. Its basically steam (water vapor). Due to disturbances in the fluid, you temporarily see pockets of low pressure. The pressure in these pockets is so low that the water "boils" even at low temperature. When these...

    Deuce keeps getting air in fuel system

    I looked and looked for his handling time to explain the slow performance, and didn't find anything. I guess my issue was that I was using the mobile app. It's not made clear at all. I did contact him after about 3-4 business days and he said that he "overlooked" my purchase and would get it...

    Deuce keeps getting air in fuel system

    I just picked one up. It was around $55 but the seller took over a week to ship the item. I was displeased, but he has the best price around so I will invariably end up buying from him again and I don't want to get him upset with bad feedback.

    75 mph in a Deuce

    If any post ever belonged in the "hot rodding" section, this would have to be it! :recovry4x4: :D

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    This week I put new mrap mirrors on my m35. I got my m109 running again with a new lift pump and fuse. And now I'm troubleshooting an issue with the generator on the m35.

    Additional parts don't make things like this stronger. Stick with what came on your cable.

    24 volt and 12 volt system

    Yes, I finally found the pdf drawing. But I like a good solid model. I'd like to eventually have the whole truck drawn, but that's an undertaking!

    Deuce keeps getting air in fuel system

    Somebody at REO had a vendetta against check valves. The fuel system and oil system could have benefitted.

    Hey, man, check out east Tennessee. It's a bit backwards, but mostly in good ways.

    2nd alternator, 12V

    One thing that I don't see discussed on here is balancing the loads between the 12V batteries. Obviously its only a golden unicorn option, should you happen to have suitable loads that are used at the same frequency. The other thing I never see, that I may use on my own truck, is putting 12V...

    Deuce keeps getting air in fuel system

    We are talking about immersion in fuel, not water. The inside of typical fuel hose is lined with a different rubber that stands up to fuel. The outside does not. Immersion rated fuel is the higher quality rubber throughout.

    Deuce keeps getting air in fuel system

    With my 109 box, I have to slide the tank out to get at the fuel pump. I undid the strap bolts at the top, rested the straps on some jackstands and slid the tank out. Granted, there's only about 10 gallons of fuel in my tank right now.

    Deuce keeps getting air in fuel system

    Not sure about the 3/4" or so hose on the lift pump, but I recently got some 3/8" immersion rated, high pressure fuel injection hose at NAPA. The only issue is that they sold it in pre-packaged 1' sections, and that was over $30.

    24 volt and 12 volt system

    I may draw up your bracket in solidworks, if you don't mind.

    24 volt and 12 volt system

    The higher quality LED offroad lights are frequently flexible on voltage and can be run directly on the 24V system. Look for ones that specify a voltage range up to 30V or so. As for a radio, check out the pyle converters. A 30A continuous converter is around $40 on amazon.

    I'm facing a similar problem on my 109. I can't even test a repair until my new lift pump comes in.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Truck looks good with the single rear and the full size bed. As for the cover, I think most folks are used to seeing the old canvas ones where the end-curtains are separate pieces. Yours appears to be a one-piece job, which I can only assume is a newer style.

    Valence's M66 Gun Ring

    I love this idea so much. My M35 obviously had the legs mounted to the back of the cab, and has the reinforcement plate.

    Paint reminds me of john deere. Green body, yellow looking wheels. Can't tell if its intentional or not.
