Mine has the same issue, I put a new thermostat in when I did the head gaskets. It will stay at 160 deg. and not move above or below. I saw it move only one time it reached 180-190 while I hauled my trailer and camping gear up through the mountain passes.
My old thermostat would hover around...
A remote brake fluid reservoir is a must for these trucks. Most are transparent. It's essential, any leaking of the brake system can be spotted quickly. The kit is cheap and simple to install.
A leaking brake cylinder is a priority repair. Gear oil has a much thicker texture and...
Old thread but Does anyone know where I could purchase a few of these updated stems, I desperately need to extend my current valve stems on my HEMTT and MRAP rims.
A larger diameter would be ideal.
It's an unforgiving beast, but she will perform reliably when required. It's a handful to drive. When you get to know its characteristics she is good to go.

It's been a lot of fun and much work.
As for the lights, I have a strange mental issue with darkness. I'm not afraid of it, I view it as an enemy with an inherent evilness that accompanies darkness. Strange I know, but my Deuce will always be equipped to handle the darkest of nights...
So the truck is running great, tons of power for my liking. The air shift, and clutch feel good . Nice clean injectors, new filters, valve lash adjustment, FDC bypass, and new head gaskets. I don't think it can run any better, on top of that there is very little blow by, I think I have a...
I bought my blower motor from NAPA a couple years ago, I was told then that the stock was low and was not going to be replaced.
I couldn't go to the Napa in Canada as they didn't carry the motor at all.
