This is to glcarnes, I didn't think so but this TM is confusing . TM 9-2320-361-24-1 000300 says, " the batts are wired in series creating a 24 volt system. The batts are positively grounded directly to the chassis . The neg goes the the starter solenoid terminal .
I have a '67 deuce and mine goes to "0" after abut 3 hours . I've checked everything I can find and no luck . I've added power steering assist, air horn, they aren't leaking . I almost think it's back at the tanks . Hard to get to with the body mounted . How can you check that it's not going...
little brake, hard pedal.
I bought my truck about two years ago with no no assist . Took it apart for a kit and found one small valve stuck so thought that was the problem Didn't help . Installed an NOS from Ebay and a new M/C . Brakes still weren't that great . This week I sold it and the guy...
What is the air type valve right under my steering wheel column ? It seems to leak air thru a small port . I can hear it . My air will go down in a matter of hours . Thanks .
Got a question . I'm mounting my heater assy under the dash . I don't think this '66 deuce ever had a heater because there is no 4 inch hole thru the firewall or bolt holes in either fender apron. Anyway, where do I connect the two hoses to the engine ? There are two pipe plugs at the thermostat...
Hi guys . I have a deuce with a "D" turbo and would like to change to a "C" . I have a chance to buy a new one reasonably . Thing is, I don't know the difference by just looking . I finally found two pictures of both . Is the one with the Marmon clamp in the center the correct one ? Thanks .
I don't know if this is the correct place for this, but I have a problem with my deuce not having any high range . All 5 gears are quiet in low range, trans shifts good but nothing in high range . I bought it like this but never had it on the road while bobbing it and adding a bed . No noises...
speed is down
I took my deuce out for the first time any distance and the top speed was 40 MPH ! How high are you suppose to rev these things . I had it to the floor and it topped at 3000 RPM . Filters are good . It felt like I needed another gear above 5 th . I have it bobbed and 48 inch tires...
I have a tire question . I installed 4 wheels and tires from a 5 ton ? on my bobbed deuce . They are 46 inches high and are marked tubeless . Used " peabody's " wheel adapters . They ride OK . I checked the air pressure and all 4 tires have less than 20 lbs of air ! On the side of the tire asks...
Mine is exactly like Stanky's . Road tested on a back road , ( luckily ) had brakes but no assist . Just like a power brake car with the engine off . Solid pedal . So, it has to be in the pac . I rebuilt the original with a kit and instructions from SS . No brakes at all . Replaced it with a...
Like I said earlier, the truck had perfect brakes with a solid pedal and not much travel . Which leads me to believe that the brake shoe adjustment was ok . Just no air assist . When I bobbed it I replaced all wheel cylinders and checked the shoe adjustment , everything was fine . And, per TM, I...
When I bought the deuce it had a hard pedal, but no air assist . When I " bobbed " it and ran new brake lines I bled everything and still had a hard pedal but no air . Then, I rebuilt the pac with instructions from " steel soldiers " and no pedal . Thinking that the kit was wrong or the...
I've been trying to post but haven't figured it out yet . I have a '66 deuce and I had a hard pedal but no air assist . I rebuilt the air pack , then no pedal at all ! I replaced the pac with a NOS one and still no brakes . I also put a lot of DOT 5 thru it .No leaks at the MC . Any ideas ...
I bought a bunch off E-bay new, and they all had the banjo bolt thread tapped a little off angle to the copper gasket seating surface . Couldn't stop them from leaking . Had them too long to send back so I drilled and tapped the hole larger and used a elbow fitting with a pipe thread on the...
My problem is this . I have a '66 Kaiser/Jeep which I bobbed ,and I had a good hard brake pedal, but no air assist . I installed a seal set in the booster and now "O" brakes ! What did I do wrong ? I went exactly by the instructions . I hate to spend the money for a new one ! Help ?
