I didn't see a check valve anywhere. The only thing mounted to/on the tanks is a pressure blow-off valve. Where would the check valve be and what does it look like, because unless I've missed it - I don't think there is one on my truck.
Well I could, but I'd have to run a lot more lines up/down the back of the cab if I did it that way.
Oh, so that line that goes from the air-pack to the slobber-tube is just a vent-line for the air-pack? That's good to know. I want to get a handle on what everything on this truck does, and how...
OK, this might sound a little bit weird, but bear with me. I'm going to put the air tanks up on top of the cab (in a roof-rack). I need to be able to carry a lot of water and fuel in the M109 motorhome conversion that I'm building, and I figure that I can fit a 25-40 gallon tank where the air...
Thanks for the info. I'd like to see pictures of that if anyone has them to share.
Mounting them really won't be much of a problem. I've got a lot of experience putting shocks places they shouldn't go, and I'm usually working with even less room. I was really asking 'why' more than 'how'. I'm...
It would be super-easy to adapt a front-shock setup to the rear, but I'm sure that would limit travel and I'm thinking more along the lines of 2" race-quality offroad shocks (Fox, King, Swayaway, etc.). And hydraulic bumpstops too (at least up front)!
That's exactly what I was trying to say about the rear axles being on that pivot. you could run shocks on just one axle with close to the same valving on the compression and rebound side of the piston, but I think I'd rather just use four shocks to help balance the damping at each wheel...
Is it true that the D-series turbos make a little more power than the C-series turbos? If so, I've got a C-series whistler in good shape that I'd be willing to trade. I've already put a muffler on mah deuce, but I'd like to make it even a little more civilized/quite/comfortable.
Yeah, it's for the driver's side and it's not going to be a problem the way my truck is set up.
He did say that it was pretty nice, but $600 plus the gas money to go get it is a little bit out-of-reach right now.
Thanks! I just called and talked to him, but he wants $600 for it. I was hoping to score one for closer to half that. I've seen a bunch of them listed for $300-400, but they're just not anywhere near me.
I understand what you guys are saying about the springs, but the springs themselves are on a pivot, so there are really two types of suspension movement: there's the compression of the leafsprings (not much of that happening) and then there's the balancing effect between the two rear axles. The...
Never got those pics you were going to send me.
Thanks for the info. At this point, I think I'm going to get a multi-fuel heater that I can duct into the box as well as the cab.
What kind of mileage are you guys getting out of some of the popular tires that I see on Deuces? I'm most interested in the modern radials like the Michelin XLs and would like to know about any of the popular sizes 11.00R20's (single & dual), 14.5's, 15.5's, 395's, etc.
