    How in the world do i service my air pack??

    Remember a little air tool oil goes a long way and too much just accumulates dirt and gunk. RL

    How in the world do i service my air pack??

    I am sure you can, although it would infiltrate the whole system and really not get to what you want it to. I have found it is pretty easy to swing the airpack away from the frame just enough to take the air line that is the inlet off, and then squirt some oil in the line and then reconnect...

    How in the world do i service my air pack??

    From the sounds of things, your compensator valve is sticking and not increasing pressure on demand. You can shoot some oil in the J pipe, vut that only lubes the piston and exhaust valve and that is not where the problem is. I would put a small amount of oil in the air inlet line to the air...

    The wheels are turnin, Recovery time

    The winter front is pretty much self explanatory as to how to attach it to the truck. You do have to unlatch the side hood hold downs to snake them throughh the hole in the cover that are there for them. You want to get both through before lacing and tightening any of the other ties. Don't...

    I installed my adapters in about 20 minutes. JATONKA gave great instructions and I had one question and he answerered my question asap. He checked later on as well to make sure I had no problems. JT has a wealth of knowledge in regards to the deuce and mUltifuel trucks and I have been very...

    If you let the original canister filters drain back for a ocuple of days, there is very little spillage of oil as you are removing them....normally....this is not always the case. If you run the truck and want to remove the canister filters you had best wait a day as they will make a mess...

    fdc and heater questions video.

    Last year in December I took my deuce on a rescue mission into the Adirondacks. It was -7 when I started the truck that morning. I had the winterfront on and it warmed up pretty quickly and I took off with the heater blowing some warm air. I will admit that a hard top would have been warmer...

    how hot does your deuce get

    Gosh Bjorn, by the looks of things you were passing that Semi......;-) I passed a semi once on a trip going up hill...he passed me going down the next hill like I was standing still! Jatonka has told me you had installed some sort of permanent cover on the radiator. I was running with my...

    how hot does your deuce get

    My truck runs 175-180 summer time and will raise to 195 or so on a long climb. In the winter it runs 170 and hardly ever goes above that unless I have the winterfront on. Then it can climb up to over 200 on a long draw. RL

    fdc and heater questions video.

    I have a winterfront for my truck and use it when the temps are below 40. I have used it above that temperature but hard climbs cause the temps to rise beyond what I am comfortable with. I know my deuce heater throws heat without it and if yours does not get warm after running it for a while...

    How to preserve tarp cover

    You want to use pure 100% silicone. Any pertroleum disillates would be counter productive and also possibly harm the vinyl. I know that I have used Silicone instead of armor all and could not tell the differnce. Typically, food grade silicone has no foreign materials in it. RL

    Dodgy tail light bulb socket

    I would expect you can carefully bend the tabs upward to improve the contact. The Bulb's heat can warm then up enough, especiallly if you leave the flashers on a lot and that can cause then to bend from the constant pressure. I have the backup piece which mounts in the truct, connects to the...
