    What Torque value do you use for the front hub nuts

    I checked the older version of the manual. TM 9-2320-209-20-3--1. The illustrations are the same and the proceedure is the same. They do not specify a torque and instruct the following: pg 804 step 4 Using 9/16-inch socket wrench, screw on 12 nuts and lockwashers (6) and tighten them...

    Diesel Fuel Additives/Conditioners - Good Stuff or Snake Oil

    I would suggest reading this study. It has been posted before. The issue is lubricity. Sulfur is not a lubricant. The process of removing the sulfur in diesel destroys the lubricity of lowe sulfur diesel fuel. Original fleet testing proved this with modern injector pumps being destroyed by the...

    Fdc physical removed, how to adjust fuel?

    Jatonka has the manual for all the IPs for the deuce LDT engines including the G model. There are illustrations and information as to how to turn up your fuel. I hope you have your EGT gauge installed. RL

    Non turbo engine converted to whistler, safe egt and boost?

    Boost is mearured on the intake side. Pull the big tube that runs to the intake from the turbo and drill and tap it and then clean it up and put it back on. EGT is in the exhaust stream You can go in the manifold, or else after the turbo. I did a study on the differences in temperatures...

    Non turbo engine converted to whistler, safe egt and boost?

    I would ask the previous owner if he reset the timing for the turbo. That would lead to power problems if it were not set properly. Anywhere post turbo is ok for the Boost gauge. RL

    maintance on front brakes

    Specifically, you can get all the answers from two TMs which are the ones I carry with me in the truck. TM 9-2320-209-20-3-1 TM 9-2320-206-20-3-2 The information needed to pull the drum and hub is found on Page 311 of TM 9-2320-206-20-3-2 Brake service is at Page 63. The newer manuals in...

    primary feul pump fuse

    On top of the fuel tank where the power comes to the tank pump there is a cover with three nuts. They are 3/8 I think but do not quote me on that. Take them off and then the cover lifts off and the fuse holder is underneath. RL

    M 923 transfer case rebuild

    The 800 series transfer case has a sprag and you would be going backwards in technology if you were to change from the air shift type you have now. It may be expensive to rebuild the transfer case but the value of the truck is such that it is definitely worth it. RL

    M109A3 converter unit and heater

    On Jatonka's site in the Deuce TM section, there are three manuals at the bottom of the list for the older M34-35s. Included in the second one of three is the diagrams for the converter and how it connects and also how to test it. Page 180 is where it starts but the entire section that portion...

    Sunday winching gone wrong...

    I would guess that there is a correlation between the standard pto speed of 540 that is prevalent on agricultural equipment and the pto speed of the power take off of the 818. With that in mind you would figure that the rpm would be set to take advantage of the torque of the engine as you can...

    Master Cylinder Rebuild

    I use a 3 stone hone. You do not want crosshatching like a cylinder wall in an engine. Stay in one place, move a half a stone length, stay there, and then continue moving along the bore to the end and then back the same way. This gives a nice 'polish' to the bore. I use a light lubricant...

    Fuel Line leak

    I found everything I needed at NAPA. Be sure to get the short ferrules. There are longer ones but they will not allow the hex fitting to catch the threads. RL

    Fuel Line leak

    The plastic lines are readily available from any auto parts store that has airbrake plastic line. If you take the piece off and bring it with you a good counter person should be able to sell you what you need. You can re-use the hex nuts and only need new ferrules and tubing. It is advisable to...

    I just did some serious digging and there is a manual for a winch with a level winder available on LOGSA. TM 9-3830-206-34P This covers the winch used on the M44 series which is the 2.5 ton truck but it does cover the level winder assembly. This is strictly a parts manual. I will keep...
