I'd like to see a pic of a deuce, a 5-ton, and that bo-hwemoth all side by side, just to get an idea. I KNOW you're hiding your source, but where on EARTH are you getting these things? Judging from the going price of deuces and 5-tons, those must be going for 10k, even in rough shape. Not to...

I guess that negates the plan of de-dualling the rear axles...

I'm not sure how the fuel lines would take being loosened and retightened, but you can loosen an injector line, 1 at a time with cranking in between, to get all the air out of the lines. Generally, the air would be forced out of the lines anyhow, so air in the lines may not be your entire...

Yea, I just recently bought my second one. The first one I got off ebay, and it was a 22 hour drive from St. Louis to Detroit and back to get it. The second one, which is neither home yet nor completely paid for, is only about 10 minutes away. I have yet to tell my wife and father about the...

Yea, it's a 135/211 transfer case. Those 2 shafts aren't for hi and low, though. 1 is to engage/disengage the transfer case, and the other is to dis-engage the front output shaft when the transmission is shifted into reverse. Sounds silly, eh? GMC designed it... As to the value, I paid an extra...

Ideally, yes. But we're (for the most part) dealing with a 50 year old tractor engine in a narrow RPM rangeburning anything from gasoline + 30 wt oil to 90 wt gear oil with a splash of kerosene to thin it. I understand where you're going with the coolness factor and all, but it'd probably be...

I've heard of using the turbo off a 5 ton to increase the boost and that helps out quite a bit. The only problem there is head gaskets. Even a stock 5 ton turbo will cause the head gaskets to fail unless things are watched very closely. I guess you could always tear the engine down and fire...

RE: Re: GMC Hydra-matic My carquest boys have the 30 wt ND oil. I had them order a couple spare cases and said just let them sit there and collect dust, I'll eventually need it. As to letting it hit 180 degrees; I took it on 2 different road trips and let it just sit and run for a while...

Hey guys I had a mishap a while ago and I need a front axle; specifically, the driver's side axle, but I'll take anything I can get. 300 miles from St. Louis is about the limit as to how far I'd go. Lemme know whatcha got.

RE: exhaust manifolds Had the same problem myself; warped and cracked exhaust manifold. I believe that was also the reason for my deuce running like crap; since they're fixed together, the warping exhaust pulls the intake ever so slightly away from the head, causing an intake leak. Mine would...

I had a similar problem on mine, except that the governor on the compressor was stuck to where it WOULDN'T stop pressurising the system, and the air buzzer was stuck open to where it wouldn't shut off, regardless of how much air there was in the system. I had to fabricate my own was to...

RE: Driver Do you have the contact info for Pop's?

Hey guys I had a mishap a month or so ago and totally blew out the birfield joint on the driver's side. Inner and outer axles are fine, but I think it'd probably be easier just getting a new complete axleshaft instead of repairing mine. Anyone have any of there laying around?

Hey guys I recently had a little mishap on the way to the mud races, and my left-front wheel totally sheared off the truck; all 12 spindle bolts gave up the ghost, and the birfield joint lost it's guts. Luckily, I'm pretty handy with a wrench and had the wheel back on and the deuce was moving...

I'd love to find a set of these for a reasonable price. How much are they asking a piece? If I find a beat up deuce, I'll turn it into a mudder, and just weld all the spider gears up, but I'd like to get some lockers for my road deuce.

What do you want to know about the Powershift? I've got the same thing on mine and it works like a champ. Just like a manual valve body on an automatic; choose low or high forward HIWAY, not HILL, and run thru 1, 2, 3, and 4, and same for downshifting. Just watch that 2-3 downshift, it's a...

RE: Just throwing out an idea... Oh boy, you want a steak. Yea, there's a few, depending on how much you want to spend. The BEST is called Ruth's Chris' Steakhouse. Figure on dropping about $150-170 there. At Sam's Steakhouse, you can figure on about $100. When are you making the trip?

RE: Just throwing out an idea... Hit Lambert's Cafe in Springfield, MO, on your way up. Actually in Ozark, MO, it's on Hwy 65 just south of Springfield. It's called 'Home of Throwed Rolls' for a reason. Also, the guy in Rolla, I've been told, is a real jackass (like Donkey from Shreck...

I never checked mine, but on a recent road trip (30 miles) down back roads, I did just what my dad said to do. 'Keep your foot on the floor and hang on thru the curves.' I changed the 9x20's over to 11x20's, and he said I was gettin up around 50 or so, but that was on the straight stretches...

RE: NAPA Part number Well, I picked up that Napa hose, but the fitting that attaches to the brake line (not the drum) is the wrong size. The connection on the hose is 1/4" flare, and the line is 5/16" flare, and by the time I figured that out, Napa was closed, and Autozone doesn't have...
