Called Olympic Controls today and talked to Dave. He was very helpful in identifying what numbers I need to get off the pump so he can match up an exact replacement. First impressions of there company are positive. I will look at my dead pump tonight and call him back tomorrow.

Excellent sir! Thank you for the help. I was a little worried because it was snug when I took it off, but definitely not tight.

Here's a question about another part on that picture. I turned and accidentally removed the hex-head bolt seen on the lower left side. What is that for? It was spring loaded and sprung off. When I reinstalled it, I tightened it all the way down. In hind sight, I don't think it is supposed to be...

Ah cool. Thanks! I was thinking it was way closer to the injector pump.

I've been physically looking at my truck and TM's to no avail. I read that once the filters are replaced, I need to open a valve/petcock somewhere up near the engine to allow the in-tank fuel pump to prime the fuel lines. I can't for the life of me find this valve. Where should I be looking? A...

Glad I found this thread. I replaced all three of my fuel filters yesterday and discovered my in-tank fuel pump is dead so the fuel lines won't prime. It sounds like Olympic is the best way to go to get a brand new pump. And before anyone says it, yes I checked the fuse. It's good and there is...

Those are some darn impressive photos! It really shows the capability of the deuce. Thanks for posting those. :-D

I tried to speed in mine, but it won't go over 60mph. lol

I just applied for my SF97 form on Sunday. (April 12) Is there some way to confirm the request was properly submitted? I had expected some type of receipt showing they charged $60, but nothing arrived in my email box. How do I know that they received my request? I would hate to wait 2 months...

I've purchased from SG many times and never had a problem. I don't know what happened with the tan top orders.

Yeah, I'm still in the honeymoon phase with my truck. I'm going to pick up some Slick 50 Synthetic Engine Treatment tonight. It is cheaper at the local parts store and I figure it can't hurt. Although I may buy Mavel's Mystery Oil instead. I've heard good things about it. I want to go easy on...

MilitaryRestoration has some very nice trucks! I inquired about them when searching for a deuce.

I have just finished buying everything I need to change the oil on my new (to me) deuce except for one thing. There have been references on this site about adding Slick 50 Turbo formula. I couldn't find Slick 50 Turbo formula at the local parts store. When I got home and googled it, I found out...

Thank you sir! I haven't posted any photos of Goliath on this site yet (minus the GL auction photos). Here he is about 20 minutes after delivery.

I faxed my EUC w/export letter. Then the next day I emailed the same documents and followed up an hour later with an online chat to verify the paperwork had arrived. When I got my revisions notice, I made the appropriate changes, then emailed them back to my rep. The day after I faxed...

Good pricing as well. I may contact them and see how much it costs to ship the seats.

Great to hear another local is looking to buy a deuce and a half. If you see the deuce in my avatar rolling through town, that's me. I live right near Monroe.

It's pouring down rain at my house today. Grr. I wanted to work on the deuce during my time off. I will recheck the tire pressure, tighten lug nuts and check the tie-rods. Beyond that, it will probably go to a truck shop for a professional diagnosis. Hopefully it isn't anything serious. The...

Have you seen this yet? It may fill in some missing numbers: Link

My truck arrived on Thursday. I've jumped in and out of it several times now. It seems the canvas seat cover on the driver's side is very brittle and tearing apart and the cushion is actually turning to powder. It's the weirdest thing. I guess the truck has spent too much time in the desert...
