    need help figuring out how to re-route air supply lines

    He's got a couple of build-threads on that 109. Here's a link, but I don't think there's any specific info about those tanks.

    need help figuring out how to re-route air supply lines

    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.

    need help figuring out how to re-route air supply lines

    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...

    need help figuring out how to re-route air supply lines

    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...

    rear shocks - I searched

    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...

    rear shocks - I searched

    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)!

    rear shocks - I searched

    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...

    Will a "C" turbo work on an LDS 465 1A engine?

    Thanks. That's exactly what I want to know. C turbo up for grabs. I'll take a D turbo in trade, but it's gotta be in A1-super-premium-condition.

    Will a "C" turbo work on an LDS 465 1A engine?

    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.

    tranny lube?

    I did see that post thanks, but I was asking specifically about the amsoil part numbers that meet the requirements and what quantities they come in.

    tranny lube?

    Anybody know what Amsoil part numbers and quantities I'd need to order to change all the fluids in my multifuel Deuce?

    Parts needed for an M109 in PNW (OR)

    Thanks Yo.

    Parts needed for an M109 in PNW (OR)

    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.

    Parts needed for an M109 in PNW (OR)

    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.

    rear shocks - I searched

    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...

    Parts needed for an M109 in PNW (OR)

    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.

    tire mileage (lifespan)

    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.
