We had a blast at the local parade, we got the old girl cleaned up and went out to salute the real hero's ! we ended up throwing a 5 gal bucket of candy along the looong parade route, trying not to throw the melted tootie rolls... lol This year had the most vehicles, I believe we had...
Well guys, I just wanted to post the after after action report on the overhaul.... I didnt think we would have a hard time finding a solenoid, but in our travels we noticed 3 different starter set ups... the first truck didnt have a solenoid anywhere on the block, so we went to another...
Well to kinda wrap things up, We got to the garage and got the fluids in the old girl and said a quick prayer... I jumped in, hit the start button..... and Nothing !!! aua we did some research and found the starter solenoid lug was broke. Figure someone must have stepped on it while...
I am planning on firing the old girl up here tue evening after work, I have a few loose ends to tie up, including filling all the fluids and filter change. I'm on a limited time frame thru the week. I'm nervous like a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs.... so im not rushing to...
Ok guys i see the argument already... lol It was a "refresh" if you will. I did not remove the crank brgs, as we did a vissual check on them, while replacing just the rod brgs. all the bearings looked very clean and like new I installed the rod brgs just because we got them and thought it...
I thought id share my thanksgiving experience, figured it was time to do my ldt engine overhaul. I purchased a complete set of 5 ton lds pistons a few months back in prep for this event. The overhaul was slow,and there were items that made the task interesting, but it wasnt as bad as i...

Planing on coming down fri with the boy cant wait.. only thing i have is a rebuilt bypassed deuce injector pump. its not new off the shelf, more like a good spare as i was told. have no need for it, so its fair game. man i wish my wife would let me keep more army junk than in my...
Great advice... take some time and look at the rear main seal on the engine, the clutch components and the tranny seal, both seals can slowly leak and cause a mess as well as pains later on. If it looks like theres wear in the clutch, or leaks in the seals, its best to fix'em now while you...

Thanks guys, I seen where this says 2850 psi... is this for the lds version or is this a universal pop off for both 5 tons and the deuce engines? my injectors are not new, so i cant use the factory settings of 3100 psi We are going to test stand check them, and I wanted to get a spec before...
hey all I am wondering what is the coorect pop off psi on the deuce 2 hole injectors? I seen in the 5 ton troubleshooting manual that the injectors pop at 2750... I am wondering if this is the same for the deuce? I have a good set of injectors from a deuce, and they all chatter and break...
Hey all, I just did a search on the "proper" method to set the throttle rod to my new injection pump and still need some advise.
I purchased a new ip and when i finished installing it I went to hook up the throttle rod linkage to the pump lever and found it was too short....the pump lever...
Hey all, I am trying to find a pair of door hinges for the driver door on my deuce... I need to replace my door and we had to cut the bolts to remove the side mirror brackets.... I found out that most trucks just used bolts for hinge pins and it looks like mine wouldnt pop out. we had to...
Hey guys, I have a friend that has an m54 standard bed and needs to find the racks and bows at this point for it. He tells me that the m 54 has the straight front rack vs the m813 version. If anyone has the racks, bows or both for a fair price please let me know and i can pass this on to...

Eric, yea both lines are completely removed and plugged. as for the leak, ive had to remove the air tube, and the small rubber tube that connects to the turbo and removed the small square looking section that most of us hook up the boost gauge hose too. once you remove the part, you can see...
