Thinking 'Premier Power Welder'. I do much better with an ark welder than a MIG.

You could rotate the tcase to make the front driveshaft clear a twin countershaft transmission. Only needs to go a few degrees.

Depends on how much money you want to spend on the truck and how often you drive it.

Possible. A hot load can blow up the breach. Metal fatigue in older parts are much weaker, making it more likely to happen.

Sounds like a hang fire being removed from the breach too soon or a hot load are the most likely culprits.

Financially makes more sense for me to part the deuce out than to repair it and build it up how I wanted.

Very busy week between the wrecker and pulling parts off the deuce. Mirrors swapped, exhaust stack turned to keep Valence's neighbor happier, cargo cover taken off to use the crane. Installed the 2 batteries from the deuce onto the wrecker, providing the 4 battery setup it needs. This spring...

Haha

Now that it's primed again, any difference with max rpm? The 816 i'm buying has the same issue with the hand throttle. Jumps to 1400rpm when the engine is cold. Don't know about warmed up because it can't be driven yet (needs wheel ends serviced and dog bones)

Does not apply to the deuce.

Forgot to hide that evidence haha. Made a list of repairs and modifications that I have planned for the truck. Want to have this list taken care of within the next 2 years. M816 Wrecker List Repairs: Coolant change and test radiator, replace coolant filter Front engine oil leak Transmission...

Ha nope, it was well gutted beforehand. Only had 1 or 2 rigging chains. Placed the ones I brought with me from Texas in it.

Installing 2 extra air tanks to provide more air when working, will have a manual ball valve to close them off when not needed. A ready welder is in the plans. Provides 120v as well. Brain fart on the red glad hands, just gotta build a QD adapter.

Extra air tanks for running air tools Side access storage boxes for tools Tire davit for easier removal/mounting Organized storage for the rigging gear Storage by the front bumper Hard mounted air QD's front and rear A more common PTO shaft for the crane On board welder

Wondering the same things as Jersey4x4

Spending most of this week taking care of the wrecker, small projects/repairs that wont cost much. Started off with removing the bolt that had replaced the shear pin on the front 20k pound winch, will need to pick up some proper pins. At the PTO side of the shaft I spun it by hand and got the...

Yep the screw thats in the throttle shaft, turn counter clockwise to raise the pressure. Shouldn't take much (1/8th to 1/4 turn adjustments at a time) unless your pump is getting worn out.

Today we installed the canvas and bows, took them from my deuce that is getting parted out. Will come back off in about a month to do some work but will spend most of the winter like this. Also, how often should the mud be changed in the cooling system?........ Plumbed in the cooling...

Good probability that the rail pressure is set lower for the single line pump. Couple tweaks of the fuel screw should bring it up

What is your rail pressure at?
