Another option for an adapter is to buy a NOS injector off that "E" auction site for $29.99, and part #EDD-120500 from Summit racing for $2.99. When you get the injector, remove the caps from both ends, take out the spring, pin, and needle, cut about 1/4" off of the nozzle tip, plug the fuel...
This is what I do to get the op temp up and keep it there...
When I start-up/leave home for the first time, the radiator is completely blocked with various Coroplast panels;
Once the op temp gets to 180, and if I believe it's going to climb beyond 190...
8" circle, located directly inline with...
I had considered the Waterloo kit, but I drive mountain passes several times a year to attend shooting matches. As-is with 46" tires, the truck most often will maintain 55-58 mph in 5th @ 2200-2300 rpm, EGT's just touching 1200, going up a 6% grade... barely, but it'll do it. The Waterloo kit...
Just west of where I live, I-70 starts it's ascent into the rockies. It's a nice long steep grade that requires the peddle mashed to the floor to maintain any decent road speed. I'll start having lunch out that way and taking the truck up that hill regularly to keep the rings more acquainted...
Another question that comes to mind is, bear with me here; I understand that if the Multifuel is left to idle and putter for long periods, it will wet-stack and slobber as other diesels will, and a "typical" diesel engine needs to be worked continually in order to generate enough pressure in...
How many Multifuels have been ruined because of...
I've read posts on SS from folks making generalized statements like "the Multifuel is a weak design" or "they'll ventilate the block without warning" but I don't recall reading anything stating definitively whythe engine is to blame... i.e. bad...
Until a person has seen a corner-to-corner collision, in which a front tire of a vehicle approaching from the rear, makes direct contact with the front vehicle's rear tire, it's really hard to comprehend just how little road speed and momentum is required to "POP" the rear/oncoming vehicle right...
Did the "Caster Modification" to the front leaf spring perches (with the help of a friend with a milling machine... Thanks Roger!) The little "bite" in the vertical portion of the perch shown, happened when Roger let me try running his mill for a bit... oops! With the hydraulic power steering...
Hey Michael, welcome...
One of the most profound things I've ever seen written on this forum was when someone (probably Cranetruck, Gringeltaube, M35Tom, Jeepsinker, or someone like that) stated something to the effect; "These trucks have sat for years, often times with less than decent...
UPDATED 05/06/2018... SEE BELOW...
I've learned that curving the tubing between connections can be good for several reasons (See picture directly above);
- The curves allow you to remove/install the lines with far less likelihood of putting a kink in the tubing.
- The tubing will...
I believe I got lucky in that respect... my radiator itself is in great shape. When I got the truck, the hoses were all cracked, the heater didn't heat, and I flushed and back-flushed gallon after gallon of what looked like orange-brown latex paint out of the block and heater core. But after 2...
I got frustrated again with whoever it was that thought outfitting deuce radiators with rust-prone and clog-prone steel vent lines was a good idea. Snaked every inch of it out (again) with a gun cleaning rod & bore-brush, spray gun tip-cleaning brushes, and wire cables. Got my cooling system...
I read a few posts stating that there is info in the TM's, and possibly a PS magazine article with the recommended procedure on washing the deuce air filter, but I haven't been able to find it... Could one of you Deuce Gurus Please post a TM and page# or the article. Iwashed and rinsed mine...

Rusty, that Gates 4219-0102 hose is Nitrile*, inside and out (see #1 scan below) and while Nitrile has an excellent compatibility rating with "straight diesel"*, and it did meet the "standards of it's day"*, times are changing, and not all of us have, or are going to have, the luxury of running...
Please, take a moment to re-read the post you're referring to...
I can surely see how it's handy to figure the guy with 5k+ likes must be right, and the newer guy must be wrong... but here's the thing... if the in-tank hose on someone else's truck goes south, because they followed You and...
Why would you want to use Red Loctite rather than a Blue or Purple threadlocker? Doesn't the red stuff typically call for fasteners to be heated to 500-600 degrees Farenheit, prior to removal, to prevent damaging the fasteners?
In-Tank Fuel Lift Pump Hose For Deuce
At the time of this writing Gates does not produce a 1/2" ID hose that they recommend for in-tank/sumbersible use with today's fuels. (Gary, Gates Industrial Hose and Hydraulic representative, ph.303-744-5070). But, here's contact info with links to a...
