As far as a diesel engine is concerned, you can use filtered, used motor oil.

I've used uship with good results. Check feedback.

The spray foam they are talking about is the expanding polyurethane foam that you can spry into cracks and holes in your house to help insulate it. It comes with a straw to get it into holes and cracks. Costs about $5 a can. Spray a little at a time and see how much it expands (a lot) and then...

Again, take out the instrument cluster and remove all the lights and clean the contacts on the film and on the light socket with a pink pencil eraser until the contacts are shiny. I actually had to use a knife blade to scrape the oxidation off the cluster film. Also remove the light itself and...

I think that the axle is mounted normal, just in the back. That would make sense because the Rockwell front and rear axles are almost identical.

I haven't seen a kid yet that didn't love the big, loud, green trucks.

Pull out the instrument panel and clean the contacts on the fuel gauge. You will have to remove the fuel gauge to get the clip in contacts out of the back of the instrument panel. Once out, clean the copper contacts on the instrument cluster film with a pink pencil eraser and clean the...

Nope. Just think of it as a locomotive with rubber tires. Diesel engine driving a generator at more or less a constant speed (better fuel economy and emissions) which in turn charge batteries or drive electric motors. The advantage of electric motors is that they have 100% torque available as...

The octane rating on gasoline is an indication of how well it resists spontaneous combustion, but should run okay. I seem to remember reading that gasoline with a max octane of 85 is allowable in a deuce. The problem is extended running will cause wear in the IP. Pour in some filtered used...

If you use the vent tube, how will you know when it is full?

Get the A2C because you and lower the side boards and load from the side.

Changed mine out a month ago. What a PITA. If they could have chosen a worse place to put the fuel pump, they would have to have looked long and hard.

You did try to turn it CCW, didn't you? (Just askin')

That is the XM1 Official Motor Pool Emergency Arctic Grill Cover. I have a few I could let go for the paltry price of $50 each (includes shipping).

One M2 weighs about 85 lbs. Four would weigh 340 labs. Add the quad mount and trailer and you are talking 1000 lbs or so.

In the Navy we used naphthalene to clean acrylic. It is a fairly benign solvent. Most any solvent is tough on rubber parts and even denatured (also known as wood or methyl) alcohol will attack some rubber parts. The deal is not to allow the solvent to stay in contact with the rubber for too...

I would get a gallon of some kind of solvent like acrylic lacquer thinner or naphthalene and use it to flush the lines between the DOT 5 and DOT 4.

I don't think I have seen a single deuce that didn't have the window gap. The "adjustment" is made by bending the track so that it seals better.

You can either buy a glow plug card or simply bypass it and put in a momentary contact toggle switch to operate the glow plug relay and count to 10 on warm days and 20 on cold days.

Sounds like he needs a snatch block to double his winching power.
