    Blow'd Up Sir!

    These trucks will be around for another 50 years and I have always thought that the information of the Deuce split ring wheels (lock ring) should be in a sticky, but it is not. Perhaps we could work on that. SS archives offer a few very good posts to start a sticky with, like this one...

    Transmission oil clarification

    In a Florida based Deuce non-detergeant was used, no more shifting or noise or any other problems with transmission or differential after oil changes. Pictures for the General better than writing about it. Non-pressurized lube systems with bottom drains, vents, and without filters are not...

    Coolant Flushing

    The Mobile one was used as Santa could afford only the head for it and the filters were free. Research indicated that particular Mobile flavor filter does not break down in coolant and subsequent filter cut-opens revealed no problems and lots of yuck trapped. Along with the 10 hours labor...

    Well, 33 posts and the original poster must have got all your messages by now/.......... I don't know, I just innocent bystander here. The facts have been laid out for all to see. How could We do better? But there should be pictures for the General and there is none. Maybe it is all fake news?

    Coolant Flushing

    A filter can help, I used a mobile one because it won't break down. Lots in here about coolant filters. I bought one new valve, hard to work down in generator area, was forced to cut out the original valve down there. Note this truck has no heater. Pictures for the general too.
