Oh, well...it is this time of the year. "Queen Lola" spends the winter in a (heated) former factory hall. It is getting cold here and we'll get snow this week. I do not want to bathe the truck in salt water and so I'll only troll the forum over the winter. I am already missing going for drives!

Yes, that is what I meant by J-pipe. In your first picture, you can see the master cylinder sitting in front and above the thick air pack. I,too, should have been more descriptive and called the slim cylinder "the hydraulic part of the air pack". My air pack never had brake fluid leak into the...

The airpack is the fat round thingy. The slim round thingy is the master cylinder and we all hope that it is indeed full of brake fluid. The fitting on top is the bleeder nipple - when you bleed your brakes, you always bleed the master cylinder first, and now you know where to do that! It would...

In all fairness, many members on this site have been in the mindspace you are in right now. I prescribe 4 hours of daily SteelSoldiers forum reading, to get answers to questions you did not even know you have. As far as your thoughts (questions?) above are concerned, if you went out to throw a...

Fuel return line at the injector. Because I know that I installed fittings with inserts, I could just tighten 1/2 turn and the leak stopped.

And I thought you loaded the Deuce with wood, so it would float better in your mud puddles!

Sit down in front of your truck and get a good view of the front axle. Locate the "pumpkin" where the differential sits. Now look on top of the axle beam, to the side of the pumpkin, and look for the silvery looking little mushroom thingy. That is the axle vent. Its anatomy is explained in the...

What you describe sounds similar to my experience. My Multi starts on the first revolution in the summer. Now, temperatures around freezing or just below, it will crank for about 5 seconds (which feels like an eternity when you are used to immediate starts). I crank it at WOT (pedal to the...

I am quite sure that this is an antenna mount. Why it is mounted there and why it is mounted sideways, I do not know.

shovelheadmike, You did a smooth looking install there! I like the narrow clearances and the way you boxed the rails makes the thing very sturdy; likely better than the military winch install. Have you used the winch, yet and put some serious load on it? The front view is a real "this is what...

...because an XL coffee fits into it perfectly, the nut is heavy enough to sit on the flat middle tunnel beside the gearshift and will not budge, even on a rough country highway. :-))

I am very certain that I see an air shift lever underneath the dash, right of the heater controls. There is a bunch of non-turbo multifuel owners on this site and they do have good things to say about their rigs (noticeably lower noise level in cab being one).

I pass on that one. I like mine the way she is :-) Thanks for the suggestions; that gave me some ideas.

My wife likes riding in my truck and, to keep it that way, I need to make getting in and out a bit easier for her. She has a hard time with the height from the stock step to the door sill and ends up using the top of the battery door as a step, which makes me cringe. Any ideas on a step setup...

Put the old and new cable side by side and compare the diameters before putting the new one in. There appear to be New Star replacements that are either mis-labelled or simply the wrong part. If your replacement cable is not the same diameter but thinner, do NOT put it in; you will find that it...

A minute and a half of searching yielded the product data sheet: http://www.greatlakesoil.com/products/1936-data.pdf The oil carries the MT-1 designator, so, I would venture out and say it is ok for yellow metals. It was also discussed on SS before...

Too bad the government stubbornness proved insurmountable. I hope that you have fun with the M816!

Ok, so you have the plastic air wiper motors that many people hate and yours does not work - like mine. If you absolutely need to spend $80-100 on a new one, do not read any further. If you want to see if you can fix yours, here is what you need: philips screw driver flat screw driver...

The brake hoses you have are already the "upgraded" ones. It pertains to their length; the original design called for a short hose (about half the length of the ones you have) and it turned out to be a flawed design. When you have brake hoses that loop nice and wide, like yours, and are held by...

When you say you adjust the bottom excentric to the book number, you mean that you set the bottom part of the brake lining at the TM's 0.1 gap and then adjust the top until you hear the shoe rub?
