Another Ahab....had done some work with the local
Scout Troop to help them raise $$$ a few years back
but have been just using it in the back yard for fun.
It makes the BEST carmalized peppers & onions I
have ever tasted. It is ready for any local crisis if needed - we had 2 major floods...
Most auto part stores do not carry it but high end big rig mechanics use it. The last time I stocked up was when I saw it on AMA - - - so I ordered several
cans. If you have trouble finding it PM me.
Augi...or anyone, has there been an upgrade to accept a phone such as the Apple IPhone that does not have a 3.5mm audio plug? The Apple has the usb style plug.
Use FreeAll. Spray the threaded area, wait a couple of minutes, then take the nut off. Mechanic told me about this stuff a few years back. Unbelievable..... Once you use FreeAll you will throw your PB Blaster away.
Kurt...any idea where, short of tearing apart an old
box, to get the 3 prong connector that is on the
military style flasher box?
thanks in advance....Bill
Thanks to everyone for your expertise. My son picked up an IR Thermometer but before taking any readings he changed out the outer seal with an OEM seal (took off the made-in-China seal), and took the truck for a spin. The hub in question "was much cooler infact seems cooler than the other

Thank you....I see that many others have had the same issues and it look as though that cheap seal between the outer bearing and the nut is the culprit. gringeltaube has pictures and an explanation in his response in that thread and I will try that this weekend - removing the outer seal, going...
Thanks for your timely response....I don't have an IR thermometer (may have just found another reason to get one) however going by touch it is much hotter than the other 3 rears. We have used both methods - we used the TM spec of torqueing the inner nut to 50 ft/lbs and the outer to 100-200...
Greetings All...I have a perplexing issue I sure could use your help with. One of the rear hubs on the
Deuce has a very warm hub after even short runs. We torn the hub down, repacked the bearings (with
high-temp grease, no noticeable wear markings on the bearing or race), reinstalled the hub...
Any ideas for getting the tubular frame, with the new canvas cover attached, back into the seat back frame? My son and I have been trying to use screwdrivers and 4 hands to get the back reinstalled but no luck. Can get 3 corners in but the 4th does not want to go. Thought....??????
