I agree with GPrez, but keep the 24v starter. Take your truck to a starter shop and have them preform the 3 R's.
Remove, Rebuild, Replace. Then you have a warranty through them and not some flybynight on e-pay.
Thats my 2 cents.
Good for you. Your equipment needs to be exercised every now and then. Did you add additional exhaust mufflers to keep it on the quiet tip..?Thats the first thing I did. Hope all is well with your delema.
Is your Deuce past the 5000 mile mark..? If so I would think the engine is past the break in period.. I would use the synthetic oil you have at the local petrol station rated for a Diesel.
My 2 cents
Flatbed trailer with a tractor back hoe, 3 Yard dump trailer full of AA road gravel, Countless stumps, Right now its hooked up to a trailer pulling a 28' tandem RV on its way the the UP of Michigan. As long as you don't fill up with BIO Diesel the MPG's are the same with or with out a load maybe...

Holland Mi, I would do a flush and fill of the radiator fluid and replace the thermostat with an OEM from the dealership. Mine from Hostler GMC cost $59.99 and I have had no problems since. The Chinese makes them and auto zone sells these cheap ones that work when they want to. Plus the flush...
I am impressed with what was shipped to me. I had them in my truck and stopped by the local 4x4 shop. The owner wanted the manufactures number. I told him they are custom made and they were all surprised at the precision quality. Darren Evans rocks so I gave them his number.
Right on man, I give you 1 REP point and two thumbs up for your ingenuity and perseverance in a job well done..[thumbzup][thumbzup]
Thank you for your service....!
Our local gathering spot is the BP, free coffee and donuts. I was getting coffee last week and was eyeballed by a local prick. There were 7 cars and a convention around the coffee Isl. I was way out of place. The next time I go for coffee and see the gathering I am going to take a few pictures...
