My own truck is titled as GAS, because it solves a whack of emissions related issues. The multifuel's IP is lubed by engine oil, not by fuel as is custom with many other models. While fuel lubricity is certainly a good thing, it does not mean destruction for the multifuel IP if it is run on...

I'll rescue you from being schooled...just look up on the page where it says "Technical Manuals". In there you will find the Deuce section. You have to read the -10 manual (operator). I recommend the 361 series because it is newest. The others are repair and maintenance manuals which you will...

It is your jeep! Paint it pink! Well, no..but you could. The hardcore Jeep nuts (you know, the ones that tell you your Jeep ain't period-correct because that screw here was originally not stainless) would freak, but other than that, it is a nice, original-looking Jeep. It is so close to the MV...

Please post a picture. A "leak" is not necessarily a problem - depending on where and how much it leaks, and when. An interim step would be to take a torque wrench and check the torque of the head bolts (engine cold). Ensure torqued to the specs for the new head gasket. I do not recall the exact...

Have you considered using the original bed, with a strip cut out and welded back together? Several people have done that and it looks a lot sleeker and classier than the trailer bed. I have seen one that was a shortened drop side bed, so you get the best of all worlds - even a flatbed, if you...

Truly sorry to hear about your loss.

61sleeper, non-turbos are somewhat rarer than the turbo variants. There were turboed tanker trucks, so the big boom was not the reason. The non-turbo smokes more, and that is whey the military had to "clean them up" by getting more air in. I have never owned one, but those that do swear that...

Congrats to your purchase and welcome. This site is a wealth of information - if you take the time to read and learn. Without pictures, it is always a guess, but I would think that you have a non-turbo Multifuel engine. Do you have the exhaust between the rear wheels or does it have a thin...

Your pictures are an inspiration for Homeowner-Association oppressed suburban members of this forum! Rise up, open that single garage door and squeeze the deuces in, I say!

The brake system is a simple, air assisted single circuit system. Using the TM, go through it, step by step, ruling out components. As for the TM, I suggest not to use the 209 series, but 361-20 (brake section includes all components), 361-24 (1 and 2) THIS CONTAINS THE TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE...

Yes, we all do these things once in a while. You can always turn the nozzle and squirt the biker beside you.

Ahhhh...spring is coming. QUEEN LOLA is out of storage and back on the road! She is oozing on the front axle. Probably time to do the front axle stepXstep procedure.... Started up lika a champ, good brakes and everything works. One cannot ask for more on a 40 year old truck.

You are asking the right questions, fredster. The purchase price is one thing - bringing the truck up to snuff is another. Not much to say to the price; IMHO 5500 sounds a little rich, unless it is decked out with winch, hard top, heater, dropside bed. Jaded, experienced green iron owners will...

Wow...and they rest on the tailgate? I would have thought the weight of a pickup could shear those tailgate bolts right off.

As emmado said. The only issue I ran into with mine was the need to replace an air fitting that was the wrong diameter in the kit. I think the kit had a 1/2 inch fitting and I needed a 3/4, or the other way around.

Ok, so what is the history? Was it starting and running well, then it developed a problem that you needed to fix and now it only starts and idles with massive help? Or? what did you fix? Did you do anything to the injection pump, such as "turn up the fuel"? When it runs and you drive it, does it...

When I did the brakes on my axles for the first time and the associated bearing/seal work, hot hubs drove me nuts. I played with loosening and tightening the hub nuts for a while until I figured out that realistically only the brakes generate sufficient heat to warm up things to the point where...

I remember driving a diesel wrecker that had a manual priming pump; it was a cabover and you had to open the lid in the cab, reach down into the bowels, find the round pump plunger head, turn a quarter turn to unlock and pump slowly for a while, preferably with the screw at the bottom of the...
