    winch shift data plate

    I guess my truck used to have a winch. It's got the door on the floor and the plate but it's painted over so I never knew what it said.

    Fuel Tank Elbow

    Anyone know the thread size or have a NAPA number for this? It's the elbow for the fuel return line. I got a NOS fuel tank to replace my tank that has a bunch of pinhole leaks and I couldn't get the elbow off. I searched and couldn't find anything. Thanks

    My First Deuce Arrived (Long post with Pics)

    I always use the hand throttle and leave it about 1100 rpm until it's time to move out. It runs like crap at lower rpms until its warmed up.

    Oil Cooler Cover, Heads Up!

    Digging up an old thread here but I have a hairline crack on mine in the same spot yours show corrosion. Where could I find one of these covers and the gasket? Looks like a pretty easy fix.

    sae 50w oil

    I got Valvoline SAE 50 at NAPA. I put that and some Lucas additive in the transmission and it shifts way easier now. No more not wanting to go into second gear.

    ? Bleeding brakes, AW32, Hydraulic oil

    They don't always do stuff right. When I got my truck only the final filter was installed correctly. The primary was at the bottom of the canister with the spring and cup on top and the secondary was missing the cup so they both weren't filtering.

    Dot 5 is the correct fluid to use and it can turn yellowish over time.

    Are Deuces really THAT reliable? (repost due to wrong forum)

    :ditto: This is the key to reliability. My buddy and I were offroading and he had never changed his filters and they got all gunked up and it broke down on the way back. I changed my filters and cleaned up the canisters before I started it for the first time and mine still ran and I gave him a...

    Uses for Deuces

    I towed my buddy's deuce off the road when the fuel filters plugged up yesterday after we were coming home from off roading. It's still there and we're going to recover it today. This is why I changed my filters the day I got it before I ever started it and mine still runs:D

    leaking Injector line at IP

    You may need an insert to go in the line. Sometimes they don't have them and you can't tighten it down, it just crushes the line.

    Glad hand leak....getting worse

    I have the same problems. The coolant one only happened when I started the truck in 20 degree weather. It was just a few drops that leaked from the hoses that connect to the water manifold. One of my spin on adapters leaks on cold starts during cold weather. These engines don't like the cold.

    2011 vin info thread

    Is it too long? Looks like the last half is what's in the system. I entered it exactly as it appears on the data plate and the DMV confirmed it and that's what GL had as well.
