    Can a C Type Turbo be Switched out with a D??

    "C" and "D" turbos are completely interchangeable as stated. There is a gasket on the oil tube, you might want to have a spare on hand in case you damage it taking the old turbo out. Other than that its a no-brainer swap.

    Difference between cargo covers?

    Do either of the covers come with front and rear curtains? As far as I know, all canvas tarps came with separate front and rear curtains. Some vinyl covers came with integral curtains. If the covers you are looking at don't include curtains plan on some more work to find them and more $$ to...

    Why do so deuces start in the cold and so don't

    My Deuce was hard to start in cold weather until I turned the fuel up. After that it started right up.

    winter rediness

    The vinyl cover will hold a lot of weight. Couple of years ago we had a heavy snowstorm followed by a heavy rain. The snow sucked up the rain and got real heavy. Before I could get out there to clear the snow off, the cover collapsed. Broke most of my bows and uprights, bent most of the corners...

    Diesel

    Actually, the clue here is "not ULSD compliant", WMO probably contains levels of sulpher which could damage catalytic converters.

    help 6x6 jeep?

    Check out my avatar for my Jeep, it looks just like a M35A2. The data plate says "Kaiser Jeep" and thats what I put on the title application. When the title came back, the State of Michigan had shortened it to "Jeep". So I guess I have one of the bigger "Jeeps" around!

    Lighting while towing.....

    Actually only 4 wires total which splits into six at the tailights - A single taillight lead which splits and goes both taillights, a left turn signal, a right turn signal, and a single ground lead which splits and goes both taillights.

    Need a towbar

    I've got a medium I'd sell. No feet, paint not all that great, but it's straight and has all the pins. Asking $300. I'm way out in the western part of the state, near Cadillac.

    How to go about preparing waste oil for use.

    Welcome to the site. We are always happy to have new members join, but topics like this belong in the alternate fuels forum. Check it out, there is plenty of info there on prepping WMO.

    Parts source recommendation

    Ditto. Clean the oil off, then scuff the shoes up with rough sandpaper. A light sanding will get the lining looking like new again. Beats paying $30 or so per shoe for new linings if yours are still serviceable.

    Deuce Running Again

    Back in 2008 I had a heart attack, followed up by open heart surgery and SEVEN bypasses. That put an end to my Deuce driving for a while. When I finally got around to wanting to drive it again the batteries were dead and would not take a charge. Things were still pretty busy around here, so the...

    Can a Deuce be used as a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV)?

    And the answer is, no one has answered your question. As I read it, all you really wanted to know was if a Deuce can legally be used commercially. What you got was a bunch of BS about why you shouldn't, medical certificates, etc. All valid, but nothing answering the question. Since you have or...

    Racor filter funnel

    I guess no one has used one yet! If you read down to the bottom of the page, it states "The RFF filter will not remove emulsified water". This might be a problem, chances are you will have both free water and emulsified water in your mix.

    Diesel

    Here is an interesting article on the lubricity issues with ULSD and the performance of several "lubricity improvers". Note that WMO did NOT statistically improve lubricity, and that Marvel Mystery Oil DEGRADED lubricity!: Lubricity Additive Study Results - Diesel Place : Chevrolet and GMC...

    Diesel

    Can't speak for NJ, but State Farm has been very good for me here in MI. I didn't have a garage and they insured me. Don't know about the DUI though.

    Diesel

    If you want more info on dual tank systems, search here in the alt fuels forum for the thread by cranetruck on his two tank system. He has one regular tank for plain diesel and a second heated tank for heated veggie oil. He starts the truck on diesel, then when it is warmed up switches to the...
