    Spin on filter conversion

    You could easily change the oil spin on filter set up on a recovery. Probably a couple of wrenches and 20 minutes would be sufficient. I got my first set the week JT offered them. I have had zero problems. Good high quality stuff.

    Deuce Battery Cable Guage?

    I found 2/0 cable at the truck stop. I also got the cable ends. I read a post by member Stalwart mentioning solder plugs for the job. I contacted him, he gave me really good information which I pass on. He gets the solder plugs at a vendor who also has a video on how to do the job. Terminal...

    Store Bought Batteries Installed- with Picture

    Replacing the battery to battery crossover cable after installing store bought batteries for the deuce led to Stalwart suggesting to me that using welding cable with pre-soldered plugs to attach the cable ends was the way to go. He even provided a vendor website for the plugs which included a...

    Deuce Seat Shock

    I have had so much to do on the trucks and the press of business, I have still not put the three shocks I have on yet! I just moved one out of the way a moment ago. I guess I will put them in tomorrow.:lol:

    Deuce Battery Cable Guage?

    I found 0 guage battery cables on eBay and got one a foot long. I will see how it works. Intended for Caterpillar engines.

    Deuce Battery Cable Guage?

    I want to get a heavier battery cable to link my two deuce batteries. I have a light weight cable from O'Reilly but I need a heavy duty I believe. What guage wire should I be looking for? Any parts house source like NAPA?

    Spin on oil filter kit

    I enjoyed your input until I got to the phony bashing paragraph. While I had installed spin on filters before you began marketing, I might still have purchased yours were I in the market. This cannot help your sales effort. Just my $.02

    Spin on oil filter kit

    I am a lawyer. I do not have an educated opinion on engineeering or design. I bought from jatonka when they were the sole source. They have worked extremely well for me. But, I do enjoy hearing and reading the different opinions expressed here about the differences in the products. But...

    Spin on oil filter kit

    The most expensive are the stock kind. With all the drawbacks and ancient design, they hurt probably as much as they help in the long run.

    Spin on oil filter kit

    I put the spin oil filters, spin on primary and spin on secondary fuel filter adapters from jatonka. I have been very satisfied with all of them. The oil filter change is extremely quick, little spillage and best of all the kits work as promised. Oil pressure comes much more rapidly as a...

    Battery Problems/Alternator?

    I went with the Group 31 batteries, regular old fashioned type, because of the cranking power. I also treated the battery connectors with Vaseline on assembly to cut down on corrosion.

    Spin on filter options

    I think at one point JT, jatonka, posted some AmsOil filter numbers that would go on his adapters. I did not get them because I could not find a local source. They do appear to be really good filters as I recall.

    Spin on filter options

    You sure want to go to a lot of work reinventing the spin on filter adapters for the deuce! I change the oil on my jatonka spin on adapters with ease. A shop wipe held at the base eliminates most of the oil that comes out. Easily. I am sure the others work just as easily. Why are you so...

    Battery Problems/Alternator?

    I put two Group 31 batteries in this morning. Took off nicely. I checked this thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/electrical/58231-battery-size-type.html for other's experiences. The Group 31 fit just barely lengthwise across the battery box at a 90 degree angle with the engine. I used a 19...

    Battery Problems/Alternator?

    After 20 hours of charging they could not bring enough power up to turn the engine more than a couple of revs. O'Reilly has 6TL batteries available for same day delivery. $183.00 each. I looked up what others here have done and bought two class 31 batteries for $180.00 Fired up immediately...

    Battery Problems/Alternator?

    I am waiting to see if the batteries take a charge. They were completely drained for a couple of weeks. I have no idea what if anything that does to a battery. After I figure out the battery problem, I will look at the alternator.
