    Engine knocking LDS-456

    No, I don't think that is your problem. The valves do need adjusting, though.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    The sender is NSN 6620008144770 for the 60 PSI and NSN 6620009935546 for the 120 PSI and it is 1/4 inch pipe thread for both.

    So new 1971 Deuce delivered today. No spare, odd size tires on it.

    If you run duals on the rears you do not really need to carry a spare. Just take one of the rears if you need to replace a tire up front to get you where you need to go.

    LOL @ LDS. Yes, It was a little late when I wrote that :-)

    Engine knocking LDS-456

    The in-cab video has great sound. I can hear the knock. Darn it. No easy fix with a couple Viton O-rings. A few things to consider. You can pull the heads, identify the damaged piston and liner, replace and button it up. And hope that was all there was to it. You will spend 350-500 bucks...

    brake issue reo m275

    Sounds like there is still air trapped in the system, if you do not have any fluid leaking. My suspicion would be in the air pack. You can definitely bleed the brakes as you describe, but I find using a power bleeder is much more likely to be successful with 1 (-2) rounds of bleeding. You...

    Engine knocking LDS-456

    Start, let idle, check manifold at each cylinder, back and forth. You will see the temps rising at each cylinder - unless it is not firing. At those, the manifold will stay noticeably cooler. It will all warm up somewhat but it will not get the same heat as with an operating cylinder. I would...

    Engine knocking LDS-456

    Oerthedge21, your suspicions have not yet been proven wrong. Still on the rule-out list. Does your oil smell of diesel fuel and appear to have thinner viscosity? How does it drip off the stick? Motor oil should "stretch" and coat the dipstick. Oil with diesel in it tends to "bead" more...

    Engine knocking LDS-456

    Well, thinning out the oil because of one of the internal fuel leaks (well known....do a search....FDC, hydraulic head, flame heater are the most common culprits) would certainly make it get louder....less lubrication, less "cushioning", more blowby. If it is only that, it is a few O-rings and...

    M35A2 Transmission

    Oh, man....I hear you....just want to drive the thing, not do brain surgery on it. I sure got there two years ago when I got to do a surprise engine rebuild. On the plus side, you have the tranny out already and now is the time to rehab it. In a way, better than putting a new clutch...

    Engine knocking LDS-456

    As for the injector lines: They are all different lengths, so will vibrate differently. Are they all tied together in at least two places? I am with Frank...take a laser thermometer and check each cylinder (exhaust). Is there one cold one among all the hot ones? What does your blow by look...

    Valspar (Lowe's) paint code needed

    For greater clarity, they have a 72 colour Valspar repaint system. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    M109 doesn't know how to quit.

    Really surprising how well she runs!

    Valspar (Lowe's) paint code needed

    I am trying to get a shop with a Valspar Automotive paint mix system to produce some 383 green. They claim they cannot cross reference any of the colour codes I provided from the sticky in this thread. Does anybody happen to have Valspar specific info that I could share with...

    LDT-465 back to multifuel

    What skinny said. Look up "FDC - fuel density compensator". Bypassing this item eliminates a common source for internal fuel leaks. If yours had it done, it is an improvement, especially for non-cold-war-battlefield daily use.

    Brake light issue.

    Thanks for providing the update! It is annoying later on to find problems without solutions.

    So new 1971 Deuce delivered today. No spare, odd size tires on it.

    Consider making it a dropside, at least on the left. All the bed itself needs is five hinges welded to it. Any fab shop can easily make those for you and weld them on, as well as a piece of angle iron in the front, with a slot for the dropside bed to lock to. Get a dropside bed side so they can...

    So new 1971 Deuce delivered today. No spare, odd size tires on it.

    Other than a spare of the same diameter I would not worry too much about an exact match. Many tire places have ok takeoffs that are still suitable as spares.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    First coat of Raptor liner sprayed. That was the fun part. Aside from dodging the weather. The prep part...less fun. My wife took a pic... Tomorrow second coat and also bed sides. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk
