    anyone had their oil cooler go bad ?

    I doubt the cooler its self would leak, its made out of stainless... The o-rings are silicone, be rare to go bad... Really rare... The coolant tank surrounding the cooler though would be a different story, their aluminum and have a tendency to rot from the inside out, if this be the case it...

    Secondary Fuel Transfer...

    I am getting ready to do the plumbing on my Deuce's second tank and was debating the need for a vent line between the two tanks. I am using a 24V external fuel pump which will be frame mounted and controlled by a toggle switch in the cab. One of the line taps in the top of the tank now has a...

    5 ton clutch problems

    Kinda hard to spot unless you know what your looking for... The fingers stay in place and move as they should aganst the bearing when pushing the clutch in and out...

    5 ton clutch problems

    Proably broke a finger or two on the pressure plate. Happens when they sit for to long, the plates rust and to much force causes the fingers to let go at the base. My deuce was a victim of this but it took a little longer for it to go. Did so about 260 miles into the trip home, lucky I had Kenny...
