    Those washers that were left out when you swapped buttons will adjust that.

    No fire in #4 after rebuild

    Remove all the injector lines from the hydraulic head and crank the engine over. The fuel should be shooting up about 12" from each port. If the port for injector #4 is shorter than the others the problem is in the hydraulic head. If that is good then your issue is in that cylinder or the...

    M923 or Deuce?

    Write out your wants and goals for the truck and see which one fits the list closest. Did that over the weekend and its actually cheaper for me to sell my deuce and go with a m934

    816 Jakes and Turbo !!!!

    Since you don't have a tach cable yet It's most likely either a fuel restriction of some type (filter, lines) or you're reaching max RPM.

    816 Jakes and Turbo !!!!

    Good to hear that the engine upgrades have helped a lot. What are your rpm's when the engine feels like it defuels?

    I Start Changing Out Head Gaskets Today

    Another thing we found on his deuce with the air compressor. With the engine off Valence turned his air compressor pulley by hand while I had my hand sealing the slobber tube from the engine. As he cycled the compressor it was pressurizing the engine.

    The birth of a Parts truck

    Probably the base plate, nose cone, or one of the bomb lugs. They fly the furthest in a detonation.

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    It was a used shaft that I bought from Oshkosh, so the stock CV joints. The lower boot tore open when we engaged the clutch again after lunch, Valence caught it before the joint was damaged. On edit: Forgot to add, the front PTO is spinning. Looks like the sear pin that connects the shaft to...

    Red's deuce/camper project

    :whistle: Never seen one that bad before either haha. The input shaft is what surprised me. Must have shattered the bearing on it because it moves side to side and up/down about 2 inches. The gears in the trans appear fine and move like they should, but the input is broken. So I'm on the hunt...

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    Haha yes I agree on that shaft, oddball CV joints and oil bath instead of grease is not the best idea when relying on boots to keep the oil in. Will be upgrading to a better design later but for now just need it to work. Money is focused on the deuce engine/transmission swap.

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    Will do. By the way, your inbox is full again haha. Looking for a CV boot for the PTO shaft.

    Red's deuce/camper project

    Did I say destroyed? However the transmission is rebuildable. On a side note the stock exhaust manifold is a T6 flange, verified that today. So if you want to run a different turbo there are adapters cheaply available.

    Red's deuce/camper project

    Separated the engine and transmission, clutch was EVERYWHERE!!! Clutch, throwout bearing, trans input bearing, input shaft, flex plate, and flywheel are done.
