And I should add, with a new to you truck, you should always start with new fuel filters, especially when having issues with the engine running right.

All the napa filter numbers are in the deuce parts quick reference spreadsheet, located in the stickies at the top of the deuce page. If the drive key is cracked, you'll have to pull the plunger spring off the bottom of the HH to get a look at it. On the other hand, if it is, or does completely...

At least you didn't have anything come up missing!

If you think it is the governor, pour a gallon of kerosene in with the oil, run it for ten minutes, then shut it off and let it sit overnight. Change the oil the next day and see what happens. The kerosene will dissolve any sludge that may be sticking the governor weights. DO NOT run the engine...

Adapters? I didn't need any adapters for mine, they went right on just like the originals. Wait, from heater box to diverter box, or diverter box to vents?

It could be a failing hydraulic head, or bad governor, but I suspect the drive key. Almost certainly not injector related.

Yeah that sounds about right. The drive key is probably cracked on one side, allowing the plunger shaft to move to just slightly the wrong place, which throws off the timing of the injectors firing. I had one cracked and didn't know it. It would idle fine, but acted stupid under throttle. Got...

The drive key on your hydraulic head is probably cracked. You'll have to pull the HH off of the pump to check it.

Yes, that is not correct.

What rpm is it idling at?

I got aluminized tubing to fit mine at the hardware store. It's just dryer vent ducting. I thought it was 3". Works great.

Now Zout, you know these boys are going to be logging on just to ogle your avatar...rofl

:shrugs: Someone should have called him out eight years ago then... Slackers! You guys are slacking!

Never seen or heard of a propane hauling body on a deuce, unless it was a civilian modification on a surplus truck.

No dummy:roll:, he was talking about connecting the heater intake duct to pull from inside the cab, so it will recirculate heated air, and make the inside of the truck stay warmer.:burn:

Are you sure that isn't coming out of the slobber tube adapter? The gaskets on them go bad all the time.

Pinstripes... really? What were they thinking?
