    From Utah to Arizona, and possibly Texas

    If anyone needs something transported it looks like I'll be making a trip from northern Utah down to Phoenix Arizona, and possibly over to Texas if there is a demand.

    Wrecker wishlist of mods

    Is that roller fairlead low enough to clear a trailer kingpin when backing up to a trailer?

    Speed or lack of.

    Before you dive into the injection pump what are your fuel pressures? The truck needs 5psi at the fuel tank, and 32psi after the final fuel filters at idle. If you're not getting those pressures the engine will not get full rpm range and power.

    Anyone modified there Cu 8.3 Turbo to be louder or whistle at a higher sound decibel?

    Install an open air filter element directly onto the turbo intake, that's the loudest intake noise you can make without swapping turbos. Bring earplugs, tinnitus is a cruel mistris

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    Much more comfy than stock. Reclined back some compared to the original seats, and tall enough for a headrest. Does bring your thighs closer to the steering wheel though. Should have the truck on 395's in 3 weeks. Will open up the hubs at that point to repack the bearings and inspect the...

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    Spring fever is hitting, so making some progress on the projects this weekend. Will be running dual spring seat bases with MRAP jump seats in the wrecker, make for a more comfortable ride. I used these seats in my old soft top deuce without much clearance issue. Learned during install that the...

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    Weather showed signs of warmth today so did some work for the wrecker. Installed the upgraded air filter setup from Those Military Guys. Also removed the 6 MRAP wheels from the 395's, headed out in a few weeks to trade the wheels. Checked the torque rods on the rear suspension, passed the test...

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    7psi will not identify any leaks in a cooling system. Must take it up to at least your radiator caps rated pressure, just a waste of time otherwise.

    Anyone interested in heavier duty hydraulic head button retaining clips?

    M-813 Axles on a Deuce?

    You will also need to swap the transfer case. The 5 ton axles are a driver side input, compared to the passenger side input on the deuce.

    m35 brakes

    Just to clarify, that was in my deuce. Engine had locked up, and all the remaining air in the system had been used already to keep the speed low and controlled. Care to assume again?

    Anyone interested in heavier duty hydraulic head button retaining clips?

    If you look at your fuel injection pump there is the hydraulic head, where all the high pressure fuel lines run out to the injectors. If you pull that head off there is a plunger attached to it. A small metal 'button' is clipped to that plunger. The stock retaining clip is known to fall off...

    smaller steering wheel

    The cab of a 939 series is about 9" wider than the older trucks.

    clutch disc variations ?

    Yea, the burnt remains of the clutch material was all over the inside of the bellhousing, lots of pics in my deuce build thread (link in the signature). Was being towed down a 12% grade when the motor locked up. Sacrificed the clutch to keep my speed down.
