    New Deuce trans?

    a new trans is probably only worth what a GOOD rebuild is worth, so $1000 to $1500 would be ok if you really need it. $200 is a steal, but you still have to need it. everyone says new, it means almost nothing unless you are smart enough to look at it and know yourself. as a used car wholesaler...

    Help, lost Brakes today.

    right, people who are not going to inspect, repair and have safe brakes should add a 1 gallon remote res. at least it will take longer to leak out..............

    Throttle pedal response question

    see the ip manual for adj, it is through a plug in the rear of the govenor housing. 5 psi at the manifold is boost pressure, if you do not have a turbo you won't be able to do it this way. i have found several trucks that fall on there face when you want to start out at low rpm and always...

    Throttle pedal response question

    very poor responce at low rpm is possible if the droop adj is off or the ip head is worn. check for 5 psi at 1500 rpm at intake manifold. (this is at WOT)

    air ride seat shock part# if you need one

    just compared the parts unlimited shock with a mil one. could hardly tell any difference, but it did take about 10 strokes for the oil to get where it wanted to be. if they have been stored on the side they may take a while to start working both ways. i have one in a seat i put it in about 8...

    Steering Gear Removal

    the easiest way is to move the front of the engine up and away from the box until you think something is going to break. then remove the cover from the box and pull the sector shaft out. after that you can remove the rest of the box pretty easily. i have a new sector shaft if you need one.

    Deuce front axle inner oil seal replacement

    washer stays on the axle shaft. seal is in a retainer that presses into the housing. you need to pull both spindle assys, pull both axle shafts and use a long piece of pipe to drive the seal retainer out from the other side. of course at this point you want to replace right and left seals. it is...

    master cylinder without vent line?

    a: m/c has to be vented. only exception is m/c that has bellows, allows fluid to go down usually only applies to disk systems. drum brakes have a relative constant level in m/c. b: remote res may be neat but is waste of time / money. if you have good safe brake system you will only need to...

    Multi "miss"?

    it seems to me that a worn ip head will cause uneven idle, mine went bad and after i repaired it it idles much better and has much better performance. when i cracked the lines before, i got a spray at some injectors and a dribble at others.

    Multi "miss"?

    you only have to turn the nut 1/4 to 1/2 turn. another way is to check each individual exaust port with a thermometer as it warms up from cold.

    Turbo Rebuild

    RE: Water Damage to the compressor side of the unit yeah, they sold me a broken plastic battery box and said too bad.............. many things on evilbay are buyer beware

    Turbo Rebuild

    the D seems to make more boost for me and is much more responsive. 14 psi at only 950f on a long hill and plenty of power. the test is to load the shaft to the side while you turn it and see if you hear or feel it touching. with used turbos as cheap as they are, i doubt it is worth rebuilding.
