    M109 no longer an Emergency

    he should buy another set of filters too. He may be changing them again if he's got crap in his tank.

    Front main seal replacement

    If you spray "break free" or something on it and let it soak, and then if it doesn't slide off, make a puller by drilling 2 holes in a piece of 1/2" flat bar and put a length of cold roll or a socket (spacer)where the crankshaft bolt was. When you tighten the two bolts through the flat bar it...

    Feel the heat

    Not too bad here. It was 107F today. Most homes here don't have air conditioning unless they are newly built for Californians moving here. Its a heat wave, and it will pass within a week.

    Checked out a deuce

    Brakes could be ok. Look up the TM on them. possibly just slop on the shaft keys, or a adjustment. SMARPI9-2320-209-14P.pdf

    Air assist issues

    thats a great idea. I dont have air assist, so my steering never wants to turn in either direction. hahahaha

    Air assist issues

    Id pull it off and soak it in something that won't harm the seals, but has lubrication/penetration (sounds porno) qualities like diesel fuel or transmission fluid. maybe immersed in a bucket for a few days. It wouldn't hurt it any more since you are looking at buying a new one anyways.

    Air assist issues

    Without knowing if the problem just developed, or you bought the truck that way, Id Guess the torque valve is malfunctioning somehow. http://jatonkam35s.com/DeuceTechnicalManuals/MaradyneSB82805airassistinstallation.pdf

    M35a2 Boyce Equipment

    there are better vehicles available for pulling a 31 foot trailer on Logging roads. I drive my old subaru on logging roads. A Deuce turns terrible and backing a trailer would be a PITA. They shine for logging off road, plowing snow, or using it as a camper with a box in the back. BTW Boyce has...

    Pre Lube system

    Most of the pre lube systems require a hybrid oil drain plug with a suction line on it. My problem with that is tree branches and stumps can damage it, and Im off road often in the woods.

    Multifuel fuel filters

    If you want to save time playing internet tag and researching, pull the fuel line off the tank and turn on the ignition (don't crank) to make sure the internal tank is pumping. If yes, reconnect it and go to the frame mounted primary fuel filter. loosen the discharge line and turn on the...

    zipper boot replacement

    You are correct about the chinese rubber products. even on the CV axle boots on cars, if it was made in china, chances are the boot will rip about the same time the joint fails too. Mexico and Indonesia both seem to have decent products too.

    zipper boot replacement

    I don't mean to start a argument, but Ive seen a few posts on how grease and oil eats boots. Not True. Do research and keep in mind there are 50 million cars with CV axles filled with grease. Your grease gun hose is reinforced rubber, your transmission cooling lines, oil lines, and fuel lines...

    Yet another engine oil and diesel fuel thread

    Personally I wouldn't put any used oil in my fuel unless its filtered to less than one micron, using a REAL centrifuge that has a retention time in the bowl for at least 4 minutes and has been preheated to over 140F. Used oil should look like new oil when completely clean, but most of the...
