I put abou 3500 miles on the truck this summer and changed the primary filter a lot just to make sure they wernt clogged. The truck had...

    Irratic FDC?

    I have searched quite a bit about the FDC and got some good information. The problem i see with my deuce is sometimes it runs sluggish and sometimes it runs really good even when uncle sam bypassed the FDC. I have not touched any settings on the IP or FDC at all. I have been driving it quite a...

    Axle trans TC vents

    No. I wouldnt put the axle vents after the engine air cleaner. you are right there is some vacuum, but that would only want to suck in water if you do that style of driving. If anything you could tie all the vents together and use a standard round fuel filter element as an air filter for the...

    Will a deuce accept two PTO's?

    they also had some that mount to the transmission PTO to run the winch on the pipeline trucks. Pipeline trucks also had the t-case PTO for the rear auger.

    my head and eyes hurt looking at transmission lube

    the only thing i worry about with using a motor oil is that motor oil does not have the additives in it to make the gears happy. Its like motorcycles having special motorcycle oil because the engine oil and transmission oil is all the same, therefore there are special additives to make the...

    my head and eyes hurt looking at transmission lube

    I had 80w-90 in my transmission and it did not shift good at all. I pulled the top off the tranny and looked at it and the synchros are buggered up some from the last GI that drove it im sure. Then i did some research on here about it and switched to 90w GL-1 from Tractor Supply. Its the stuff...

    Carburetor kit?

    are there any numbers or anything that says who makes the carb? i would think something has to be out there even if its for a civi model carb. i have no experience with these carbs at all, but i would think that the mil version would have a couple more seals or something for fording operations...

    Axle fluid level in reference to surface mount of third member...?

    id say look in the fill hole of a stock deuce and see where it lines up on the ring gear and go from there. maybe add more to your axle as long as it does not leak out your axle seals. just a thought. if your housing is bigger, might be looking at more than 6 quarts like a stock deuce.

    More Hot Rear Axle Hubs

    my deuce had new wheel cylinders installed by uncle sam before i bought it. plus the rear rear axle looked like it was replaced, and that rear rear axle has hotter hub temps than the rest. I would think when they replaced the wheel cylinders they packed the bearings and stuff. i put 3000 miles...
