I recently performed fuel filter replacements on all my fuel filters. After changing them the truck would not start. I found the lift pump fuse blown. I replaced the fuse and it blew again. I took the pump out of the tank to troubleshoot. I submerged the pump in a bucket of diesel and...

Hi all. I'm rebuilding my airpack and noticed teflon tape on the threads of all the non-compression fittings. Is that the best idea or should I use a liquid thread sealant?

I am trying to validate my heater hoses against the PS article below. Is my top hose where it should be? I can't really tell from the quality of the picture.

Anyone have any thoughts on using "non-detergent" 10W new motor oil instead of 2-cycle for the added lubrication to diesel fuel in the Deuce? The reason I ask it that a local store has the 10W and 20W for less than 2-cycle oil and diesel fuel for that matter. Serious sale I guess. (e.g...

Went out to see how the Deuce would start in our first cold weather here in the south this morning. Started perfect with a few more turns than usual but 3-5 seconds total with no assistantance. I went back inside to let it warm up and when I came back out air pressure was normal but low air...

I am trying to find a Deuce build thread I read earlier. The poster had an awesomely clean Deuce build with different color nylon lines installed for air, fuel and vent. Anyone know the build I a referring to? They had used blue, red, yellow etc. to distinguish the different uses.

I've just torn into my rear-rear axle due to some oil-washed bearings and grease on the pads. Upon following all the instructions of re-assembly everything looks good but unlike the front, the outer seal on the rear seems to cause the hub to not spin as freely as the front. Is this normal? I...

Anyone know what the purpose of the sleeve that is inserted into the Deuce fuel tank is for? The only thing I see is that the fuel cap is attached to it. Other than gathering rust perhaps?

Got a plug just hanging near coolant plug. Should something be plugged in here?

Anyone had issues with grease getting on the rear brake pads? Would think the inner seal would prevent that. .

While working on my master cylinder the winch handle must have gotten bumped out of neutral. So when I crank up and let out on the clutch the winch shaft spins......I hear it an find neutral on the PTO. Didn't think much of it until I saw the remains of the shear pin on the ground. Shouldn't the...

Looking in the TM for lubrication order for the Deuce it lists GO 80/90 for the t-case and transmission. Upon reading forums for the last hour I see everything from 30w, 40w, 50w synthetic to 200w pixie dust mentioned to use. Can someone post in one sentence or less what I can walk into NAPA and...

Has anyone ordered the Newstar MC rebuild kit and found blemishes on the piston? I just opened mine and found the anomalies send in the photos below. my bore of the cylinder seems very smooth so I was going to skip honing it and just replace the spring parts and rubber. This piston looks like...

Does anyone know the exact size of the castle nut on top of the tie rods? I used a large pipe wrench to remove them since I had the tires off. With the tires on now, I want to properly tighten to torque specs. Digging through my sockets and found it was not 1-1/8, 1-1/4 or 1-1/2. Is it...

I am following the infamous stepxstep document for replacing front seals, boots, etc. On a Deuce. I have gotten to the point where I install the inner clamp on the new boot. Everything says place the clamp bolt at the top but I find I cannot get it anywhere where the knuckle does not hit the...

In searching the forums I don't see much in the way of an answer on repairing the tie-downs on the vinyl cargo cover when they come unglued. These are the pieces the super rope passes through. Some have mentioned glue/cement and "plastic welding". Has anyone actually repaired one of the...

Hi all. Just got a Deuce from another SS member and got it back here. I have gotten insurance so far and got the details from the DMV about registering with the VIN on the bumper. I am going to state police next week for affadavit of inspection. Can anyone in LA that had this done in Baton Rouge...
