@Mullaney , the Deuce air compressor delivers around 7 cfm.

Perhaps ask a machine shop if they can weld up and turn the damaged area. Depending on what shops you have in your area, that could be more reasonable and quicker than replacing. Also, if the trunnion is toast and your heart is not attached to THIS truck, perhaps sell to/swap/trade with...

Ah, so the drum stays dry - no coolant comes out when you open the large cap. So this is like an oversized electrical coolant heater with a removable electric heater cartridge that does not work well and is impossible to find. Too bad, I liked the coffee maker theory!

Here is a thread on coolant heaters in the Deuce that you might find interesting: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/block-heater-for-a-deuce.27119/

Congrats on your truck! I don't drive mine in the winter, so I don't have any preference to share regarding a block heater. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

You put a lot of work into the rig so far. It is nice to be rewarded with a flawless run and a nice trip!

They will run without the in-tank pump if the rest of the fuel system is airtight and good, however, the in-tank pump is there for a reason. The booster pump attached to the injection pump is not supposed to get zero intake pressure. Some members have replaced a bad in-tank pump with an external...

The sudden loss of power can be fuel filters clogging. If the truck sat a lot, crud may now be coming loose. It can clog even new filters quickly. Yes, it can feel as if someone is pulling the shutoff. Sluggish turnover although it normally does start well...batteries are sulfated (good voltage...

My 5 cents on the cab cover: Before you put the cab cover back on, use a large screwdriver to clean and gently widen the channel/track that the cover runs in. Spray the channel with silicone spray. Flip the cab cover upside down on the hood (i.e. inside facing upwards). Insert the plastic strip...

The topic of rpm has been hotly debated over the years. There are plenty of LDT engines that were wound out for every shift, run at the governor at 2500 rpm endlessly and they live to see another day. There are other LDTs that grenaded and ended up with a hole in the block. Who is to say that it...

Here is a way to figure this out: Max engine rpm 2500 Axle gear ratio: 6.79 Transfer case: in high it's 1, so can omit. Tire diameter: 53" Transmission gear ratios: 1st gear 6 2nd gear 3.31 3rd gear 1.89 4th gear 1 5th gear 0.85 Go to a suitable web site calculator, such as...

@92ramaro I am looking forward to your driving experience with an automatic locker in the steer axle. I always thought that a steer axle locker needs to be selectable (air or electric); the automatic Detroits, Yukons, Grizzlys etc. are fine in the rear, I guess one can learn to adapt the...

Yolner, that definitelu s*cks. Our fine folks here would have you teeter on the edge of not being able to safety the truck when rust jacking is that evident on frame components. That means, one way or another, it has to be fixed. The method described above to get the volume of rust out appears...

You could also simply solder the defect in the radiator. Get the coolant below the level of the hole, dry it, rough it with a bit of sand paper and solder with tin and an iron or a butane torch. Holds for years and a day. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

"...but I also see them pounding on some thing that are stuck and my heart reals out like it’s gonna vibrate off the stands! " it is very unlikely that you will move a 6t truck sitting solidly on stands by using a hammer that you are still able to lift. Of more concern is the ground your jack...

Correct. Unlike a car, the jack on the truck goes right under the axle housing. It will lift the tire off the ground within a couple inches. That's all you need. Nevertheless, think safety and use an an axle stand or stacked 4x4 or 6x6 pieces. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk
