I used Baldwin oil filters based on the MultiFuel Filter and Gasket Interchangeability Chart (in the technical Article section) claim that they were the best fit. None of the gaskets that came with the Baldwin filter are the correct size. The chart recommends either a Baldwin B-241 or G-107 base...

Devilman96 - PLEASE keep us updated on the oil filter conversion - I'd do most anything to get rid of that "dry engine start" condition!

Don't know if this means much to many of you, but on SS member says this socket fits his 1946 Brill bus as well, whatever that is. But apparently it will work on more than just Dueces!

Yup, camo pattern is the same as mine, now I know how to get the door done right! Thanks

How about a picture of the left side. I have the same camo pattern but my drivers's door was hacked over with a spray can. I'd like a better idea of what the driver's door is supposed to look like, assuming yours is more or less original.

It looks a bit shabby, but does have a winch. 3K-3500 would be tops, considering what it will cost to restore to "Motor Pool class A" configuration, presuming you want a good looking truck, not a work truck. A set of troops seats, bows, cargo cover and paint touch up will set you back at least a...

I have State Farm, $167 per year but limited on usage/mileage, mostly to "events", parades, car shows etc.. I'd try JC Taylor, they are a little more expensive, but more flexible in how you use your truck. If you intend to use it for any sort of commercial use (i.e., hauling materials for...

Banshee365 - When you reinstall your boot make sure you get the boots and clamps postioned right. It took me three tries to get it right. The zipper is to the front on the left side and to the rear on the right side, and the screw, nut and clamp have to be at the TOP of the axle housing...

Matt - I think you hit the nail on the head. After carefully rereading the assembly instructions, it CLEARLY states that screw, nut and clamp MUST be postioned at the TOP of the axle housing, even though the illustration shows them on the SIDE of the housing! I also bought new screws and Nylock...

The boot isn't marked for the top, on the other side the zipper is at 90 degrees to the rear, so I installed the new boot same as the old one, zipper at 90 degrees to the front. No, I did not bend the inner clamp bolt (missed that in the directions the first time), but on the second install I...

I have a similar problem as Banshee365 - The inner clamp on my left steering knuckle boot keeps coming off. When I brought the truck home from the DRMO, I noticed grease coming out from around the inner boot seal. I assumed the boot had a tear, and ordered a new boot and set of clamps from...

Kenny - to make things simpler, why don't you list the trucks you DO NOt have. Seems like the list would ne quite a bit shorter!

My guess would be above 60 degrees F, you could easily run 25% filtered WEO/75% diesel (maybe even a 50/50 mix, but that might strain the injection pump except in very warm weather). From 32 defrees F to 60 degrees F, I'd use 30% WEO, 20% kerosene and 50% diesel. Below freezing, I'd use 25%...

I'd suggest turning the filter bags inside out and washing them real well with straight Simple Green (100%) and flushing well with clear water. That stuff works wonders on waste engine oil. After the Simple Green treatment, washing the filter bags in the family Maytag on "delicate" cycle ought...

Yeah, all that stuff works, but with a bunch of effort. IMHO, the best bet is to make up a filter housing out of 6" PVC pipe with McMaster Carr filter bags to filter the crap out of your waste oil so you can burn the waste oil without crudding up your fuel filters and injection pump. Then add a...

Up here in the cold north (Michigan), my temp gauge seldom gets above 160-170 degrees F., and that is with an Arctic grille cover installed (with the flap rolled) up in the summertime! I'm seriously considering removing my fan, as least in colder weather, makes a significant reduction in engine...

RE: the front 40 or the back 40? Nice truck - wish mine had a winch. My engine also leaks a little oil in the same spot, seems to be a common problem. I just power wash it off every so often. What's up with the tailgate extension?

Been there, done that too. Now I diesel up when the fuel gauge dips below 1/4 tank.

Correct position is zipper to the rear on the right hand boot and zipper to the front on he left hand boot. DO NOT cut the zipper off! I learned this the hard way! I installed a new boot on the left knuckle, yes, the boots DO NOT turn inside out like the TM shows. It took a lot of effort to get...
