i snapped the bolts with my craftsman wrench too. i dont know if the dial was off or if my handle slipped, but i had it set to the 250lb max and it broke the bolts that are supposed to get 300lb before it ever clicked at 250. aua atleast the broke bolt was easy to remove for me and i had a few...
i think of it this way, the axles has a large washer or flange if you will, at each side of the joint. when installed in the knuckle with the spindle the flange washer is riding on the backside of the spindle and the front face of the axle seal retainer in the axle tube. with out the grease i...
Re: Clark
memphis seals are prolly brand new. the more than likely are getting them from newstar. after lots of research i have found newstar to be the only ones who sell new inner and outer wheel bearing seals for the 2.5 ton axles. the only problem with newstar is they only sell to their...
i just did my wheel bearings and seals. i bought a hub nut socket before i started the job, boy what a nice touch that was!! i tightened my spindle nuts as per the instructions in my T.M. torque the inner nut to 50 foot lbs and then back it off 3/16 to 1/4 turn. then set the licking nut to...
like the others said deuces are fairly easy to work on. doing the work is often times messy though. im doing wheel bearings and brakes on mine this week. the old brakes are saturated in grease from seal failure. i have one pair of pants and a shirt im wearing for the few days after work that im...
i cant really say box seat or spring since i havent tried out the box, but i cant say that i actually like the spring seat. im a fat guy, i have the seat tension all the way up but on rough terrain i bottom out the seat. nothing is worse than hitting a pot hole or a speed bump and blasting your...
i found a driver side mirror with the brackets for $75 is this a good price?? im not to sure about what the going rate is because i cant seem to locate any for a price comparison
they said you can just pump strait gas into the truck. dont know if i trust this. if i use gas i usally add some auto trans fluid or motor oil with to keep the injector pump lubed
im getting ready to replace all my wheel bearings. i was planning on leaving out the outer seals on the rear axles because when left out these be oil bath bearings if enough oil is put into the rear. i have done this on my mud truck and am also going to be tearing into it to see how it worked...
when i had to get a radiator i got a few quotes. eastern surplus in philadelphia quoted me $600 for a used one that was power washed and painted. memphis told me either $800 or $900 for a new one, and i finally ended up getting a new one from murrays for $395

its about 2900rpms with 9.00 20s on it if i remember correctly, its been about a year since i last drove the truck. it was always faster than the other deuces friends of mine have had, but i wasnt able to get this speed out until i...
i got a speedy stitcher for top repairs, its a bit easier on the hands than a reular needle. i bought the model 110 kit. it was about $22

Re: RE: Re: will non turbo multifuel accept a turo setup??
my friends call it "the rocket deuce" it totally keeps up with cummins powered five tons on 14.00-20s
the rear spindles wont come off the rear axle housing. the brake backing plates are whats riveted on to the rear. if you destroy a rear spindle you have to change the entire rear housing out. it kinda sucks, you would think they would have engineered this better to avoid major feild repairs. the...
RE: Re: will non turbo multifuel accept a turo setup??
thanks guys. i found a non turbo motor that was taken out of a truck thats realitivly close to my home. its on ebay. im going to try and bid on it for a spare. its complete with starter, generator injection pump, the whole nine yards even...
i tried to search this out but i got some 1800 posible hits on the seach section.
so, will a non turbo multifuel motor work correctly with turbo manifold and related parts?
