    New Muffler Sounds Um.....

    The part number is NAPA P/N 21470. I think you probably could tuck it in behind the battery box. Worst case would be that you would need to extend the exhaust pipe on back to the rear axles and tuck it up above the axles. I don't have a meter with which to monitor the decibels but it is better...

    New Muffler Sounds Um.....

    Sorry for the delay in getting this back to you guys. I got kinda busy. Anyway here is a clip of me starting up the deuce with the new napa muffler. Wife has been ill so I don't have a good shot of how it would sound driving off. If you have a straight pipe today though you will notice the...

    New Muffler Sounds Um.....

    Yes. I will have my wife video me driving off and then I do one from inside the cab as well so you can hear it both from inside and out. Sorry I don't have a recording of it from before with the straight pipe. I'll try to get it done tomorrow and post it during the game.

    New Muffler Sounds Um.....

    Well I took the truck out for a spin today to check out the new muffler while driving. It is great how quite it is but there is now a new twist. It's wierd but I miss the old sound it made. Seems like maybe I castrated my truck. Also I can now hear every loose panel and vibration. Good news...

    Muffler Modification.

    That's actually a good call. I m trying barbeque grill paint for now. That's why I went with black. I think the black turned out looking pretty good. Now if it will just stay on. If not oh well. Will just have to re roll. Story of my life.

    Muffler Modification.

    I have wanted to do this for the longest time now. Finally got some time to get some things done around here. One of which has been to install a new muffler on the Deuce. I want to thank all you guys for the idea the part number and all the pictures of your installations. What a huge help...

    Diablo Build Update (pics)

    Devilman96, This has been one of my favorite posts and projects to track. I have really been amazed at what you have been capable of doing. You are obviously very talented as I am sure anyone would agree with. The time that a project like this would take is what is so impressive. How do you...

    Exhaust fumes in cab

    Same here. I get the blow by fumes from the crankcase vent tube and they used to come into the cab pretty significantly. But I made shifter boots for the tranny and transfer case and sealed up all the little holes that I could including making gromets for the pedals and an additional cover for...

    Front wheel bearings

    Those look like the right bearings. If they are the ones you took out I feel pretty confident that they are the right ones. At any rate they look just like the ones I replaced that I really didn't need to. On the break shoes adjustments what I did was put everything back together but I...

    WARNING - SPLIT RIMS AND JACK STANDS!!!

    This may be a dumb question but I would feel better with input from you guys on this. Due to the danger of inflating split rims and everything I have heard. I am so freaked out about this that even when I am just checking and adding air pressure to take the stears up to around 60 PSI and the...

    Usefullness of quick-drain petcocks on tanks?

    I have had this question also. Most of the time I just let the air off the system with the valve under the dash. Then about every five drives or so I'll actually get up under the truck and vent the tanks. I don't get a lot of oil and or water that way. I figure the pressure causes the water...

    newbie got her home!

    I like DR's idea. What if you backed out all of the injectors. Pumped air into the break system. So you could stop. Disconnected the battery (don't want it starting when we aren't ready for it to) Chained up to another truck put it in gear and pulled it down the road a bit? If it had the...

    Another Relisting....

    Engine pics look good. They moved it forward from its parking place so you know it runs. Actually all of the trucks at that location run. It's at $2K now. I think its worth that all day as is.

    Air Hydraulic Unit

    Thanks for the tips guys. I'll try the air tool oil first. Fingers crossed. Then if no improvement I'll dig in to the AHU. m35a2cowner, one question. How were you able to tell which wheel was giving you the trouble? When mine makes the howling noise I can only tell that it is comming...

    Air Hydraulic Unit

    I am thinking about rebuilding my Air Hydraulic Unit. The reason is that When I drive the truck it often makes a howling noise from the rear breaks when I start off from a stop. I think what is happening is that the AHU is letting air continue to hold pressure on the hydraulic line even after...
