Chill Out Man!!!! DH...I believe I was pretty clear on what PS article to read and the discussion continued when questions arose from the OP about that article. (I even provided a link to the download) I think you might be a bit hypercritical here and to be honest it is winter time and...

The sad truth in my case is that I have driven so much in my deuce that I drive my Suburban the SAME SPEEDS!!!! I look down and I am crusing at 52, maybe 50, sometimes 48 on a level, clear, straight, dry, nice, highway. JJJJEEEEESSSSSHHHH!!!! I figure it is patterned learning where my...

There is a huge difference in operator attitude when the operator also is the OWNER The average military driver did not have to replace engines and deal with the results of driving the multifuel too hard. That leads to an attitude of "what do I care". I drive my deuce at 52 mph at 2200+/-...

POSSUMS.....POSSUMS??????? When did WreckerMan stop in? rofl RL

I like the spin ons because I can change the filters with nary a drop of spilled oil. There is nothing quite as dirty as dirty Diesel Oil........ I hope that everyone understands that I am simply advocating your treating your deuce with respect and understanding that the technology, although...

It varies as to how long oil pressure rises. The engine design is for the oil to drain to the sump when you shut down including the filters. When you start up, even once the gauge shows pressure it will take a few more seconds for absolutely everything to get lubed up nicely. The reason...

The check for a hydrostatic lock os not for fuel alone. Coolant can gather in a cylinder and if the others fire, it will break things quickly if the engine starts. That is why you do a hydrostatic test on a cold start. I use the throttle cable, no ether and the manifold heater in cold...

The bracket is to keep the end of the starter from "bouncing" and has only one attachment to the block and one to the starter. In TM9-2320-289-20P it is referred to in FIG 32 item 5. I am not sure and will check in the morning, but it looks very similiar to the bracket on a gas engine...

You should do a hydrostatic test when you first start up. Pull the engine stop all the way out. Turn on the power and crank for a couple of seconds to be sure you have not got a combustion chamber full of uncompressable liquid. If it turns over fine stop as you are. Push the stop engine...

Definitely worth getting things flushed if the outsides are not all corroded. The heater core is a pain to change but not impossible. It is easy to start changing parts and some are better to change than others, but if you have a local radiator shop you trust have them flush it all and see...

You can download all the manuals for the deuce at www.jatonkam35s.com. Try taking a look at the NY-PENN MVCC website and there is a great Company component of that group based in the syracuse area. WWW.NY-PENNMVCC.com Welcome to the hobby with your own piece of OD iron. That is all! RL

The tube will eventually tear at a seam due to the over stretching of the rubber in the tire. Don't forget that heat is also a factor in a tire. I will be honest and say that for the cost of the right tubes, and the cost of either money, or time and trouble for changing tires I would put...

From the newsletter that is due to come out shortly: The February Hudson-Mohawk meeting will be at The Homefront Cafe' on Feb 20th at 2:00 PM

CSM....absolutely on target as far as the trespassing issue. It is easy to get caught up in the moment that you have a recovery and neglect to observe the essential rules. Trespassing is trespassing. Around here there is a lot of state land and there are strict rules about what types of...

I picked up my elbow and clamp. 29.95 for the elbow and 4.25 for the clamp. Too darned cold to paint and put it on, but I may get it done anyways. Pics upon completion RL

No Doubt that all ideas posted here to help out are good ones and I was only answering Spoon's specific question as to the reason for pulling a spline cap on the front axle. RL

Taking the spline cap off stops the axle from turning. If the grinding is your axle this would verify that. This is merely a step in the diagnostic process of eliminating components until you figure out what the source of the grinding is. RL

I agree and am in the same situation as WreckerMan. I know my insurance is not valid for anything outside of what I am licensed for a.k.a. Historical. It is one thing to pull a friend out of a situation, but comepletely another when you ask for money. I like my cheap insurance and cheap...

The 41367 has a radius of 8" and sets the mushroom farther out and away from the fender. Here is a picture of a deuce with that elbow. RL
