Yep not original but glad Clay put them on it as it was so nice when I had to change the tube. I am not a purest. I checked out that forum with a search but thanks but wheel is back together. I check the other wheel nuts and they all were just over 100 foot pounds so I went with 115 and...
Well years ago I posted with pics that filter removed. Yea it did not have metal and not clogged enough to cause a running problem but it did have fibrous material I figured came from the fuel filter. Magnet was clean. If something could get by the primary filter then yes the PT filter should...
My thought is just to keep any moisture / crap out of the air pack that can cause premature failure. Now when I replaced the air dryer on the 1088 I did a test after driving it. I took a paper towel and taped it to a piece of cardboard. Held it up to wet tank and all the other tanks and opened...
Myself always thought an air dryer would be a nice thing to add to the Deuce. If not a whole dryer then small water trap / filter on the line that feeds the air pack.
Searched and looked through the TM 9-808 but no luck. Got the wheel with new tube and flap and ring nuts just snugged down for now but want correct torque number for the 5/8 stud / nut. Tanks
OK problem was new flap was not installed. You can see where the flap was worn out and allowed the tube to come through the flap creating a weak spot. Got the combat wheel back together with new flap and tube and locking ring nuts just tighten down some. Does any one know the correct torque for...
3116 CAT fuel system - YouTube ? Then return line check valve above that on the Governor or tank check valve ? Wonder why they never added the filter / primer ball set up like on the FMTV's.
Woke up left front flat. Glad I had the combat wheels and Coker tires number. No tire damage area around tube valve stem let loose. Ordered two tubes two flaps.
Myself just a little light weight oil on the threads. Then good wash with degreaser and paint the stud / nuts with wheel. No primer just rattle can the color I want.
"If I ever meet Jesus and he asked me if I have been keeping up on reading my Bible I will have to tell the truth. I have been trying there Jesus but Doghead wants me to get through the TM's first then from then on keep the Bible handy and well read". This was my quote and never said Jesus would...
As for is timing correct? Not the best time for second guessing did I get the timing off and should have been checked just after head install. Better news if it is off you know what has to be done to correct it just a real pain now. Yes off timing is important to how engine runs so might as well...
Yea you do not even need to jack it up just have someone watch and do one side at a time. Be sure to use the correct size Allen wrench. One of mine was all ready in bad shape and had to drill it out. Trouble was when I hit the magnet drill stopped and I had to remove the cap and tap it out...
Guess a cool test would be if someone would take the time would be set up dial indicator way then check with cut of hub. Would think as long as there is some clearance is much better than to tight. I am no good at ciphering so I just did Steve's way because I had a hub that was bad and had it...
Just by googling I find it will lower cetane and decrease lubricity being a solvent. Just opposite of what we want as we want. If you do not believe in additives designed to help raise cetane and lubricity would seem like do not add anything.
What about the new Duramax and the CP4 and the dealer telling the new owner to add good fuel additives to protect it. Why try and make your own mix of anything when you can buy it at the auto parts store and the bottle even tells you how much to add. Also I will try and find it again but report...
Here is the way it is done using a cut down hub or something that is made to hold the cross in place. My .02 Steve's way takes wear of the parts into thought and we can feel the 10 to 20 thousands min. clearance. Also easy way to understand what we are looking for if you have never set up a...
Since I am not a chemist I am not going to add chemicals to my fuel that are not designed to be there. Ok all you want to add is new motor oil or two stroke. Fine but they do not cover everything we need as in to raise cetane, water dispersants, fuel stabilizers, rust inhibitors and last...
