typical engine oil filters only filter down to 20 microns. that isnt bad, but you need to filter it more. i have mine filtering at 10 microns, but when i pulled apart my fuel filters after, i noticed some crud in the bottom... not much, but some. i am working now to filter it down to 5 microns...
Make sure your engine is up to temperature too. if its cold out, a winter front cover isnt a bad idea in my opinion. In the late fall i found that when i put the cover on, it ran better because it allowed the engine to get up to 200 degrees vs the usual 180. without the cover it would only get...
I could leave early friday morning. I am from Binghamton, NY, so i dont know who wants to convoy. Honestly i never have been in a convoy at all, but i drive my deuce easy at 45mph. it would be fun to be in a convoy, so who lives by me that i could meet up with?
i think it would be neat to have a M275 and have a single axle flat bed trailer to pull. Is the value of a M275 worth more than a M35A2? I would think so only because of the rarity of them, right?
Were most of the M108's gassers? seems like the ones i remember seeing all did not have the air...
Ok, so these are more rare of the deuces and i just had a couple questions about them.
For the M108, why is it when i look in the -10, there is not one thing about the M108. I know they didnt make any, but still.... or am i just blind and didnt see it? it would be intresting to look up the...
does the pulsing stop after you stop the truck? maybe just leave the headlights on with the truck off and watch for smoke! haha! the only problem is putting the smoke back in the wires after.... i never have mastered that yet. :roll:
i pulled my deuce in a fair in PA. truck was empty, rear tires were at 40psi i think, front at 60. started off in 2nd low range, 2000 rpm, and it pulled the sled just fine until about 230 feet and the sled dug in and just brought the engine right down (not enough horsepower). so i just quick...
i know when i drive my deuce... when i accelerate and decelerate, i can see the t-case lever move a little due to the torque applied to the t-case. i take it you pulled your t case from the frame and that it is an air shift? im not a 100% sure on how the t case is mounted in because im not under...
i hear you there. one night i "fell" under the winch on my deuce, another night in the cab. i do not recomend sleeping in the cab. the height difference between the driver seat and passanger seat a killer on the back!:roll:
I have felt the same drafts. I also noticed there are 4 holes in the back of my cab, about a half inch in diameter each. i dont drive mine much in the cold except in the fall/spring but take a look to see if you have the same 4 holes behind the drivers seat. driving down the road with the cargo...
when i pulled my fuel pump, i found the old float from the fuel sender bobbing around in there along with parts from an old fuel pump (3 flat plates) that must have been changed by uncle sam. If your digging around in your fuel tank for inspection purposes, pull the pump and check the depth it...
Do you have any bigger pictures? I was often wondering how much is too much for my deuce. The biggest load i had on the truck was a pool liner and about 22 inches of water. syracuse nationals car show we used it as a swimming pool and it was great. i crunched the numbers and the dimension of the...
yes, there is the inspection cover. but i mean to look at other things in there, springs and such. i know you can still see the springs from the inspection cover, but maybe to inspect for leaky wheel cylinders or something.
what do you mean convert to wet? where gear oil is used to lube the...
Would it be a good idea or bad idea to drill the rear hub and install a grease fitting so you can grease the wheel bearings without taking it fully apart? My idea is to drill and tap (maybe 1/8NPT and between the two bearing races) the rear hub so a grease fitting could be in installed and...
I think i could do the first week in april. hope we get some rain to wash the salt off the roads. im OCD with salt, i see what it does to cars. this friday is supposed to be nice, so maybe ill attack the project list on the truck to get it ready.
I have thought about this also, i would like to replace all of my hoses just because. one had some engine oil dripping on it (fixed now) and i dont feel like loosing my brakes comming down the long hill from my house..at the bottom of the hill is a 90 degree sharp turn. no way could i take that...
same here. i'd love to pack all of my bearings and install a new steeringbox bushing. its cold outside and im lacking motivation. maybe after it warms up i can get some of the stuff done. I'd really love to go this year!
