Everyone has been making installing lockouts sound super easy, so Id like to do it myself but I dont want to screw it up. Do I just unbolt the old ones and bolt on the lockouts? Do I need to put more lube in there? What kind? Is there anything else I should know about installation before my...
I read through the LO for diff oil but has anyone deviated from it? Maybe tried a different oil in their diff? Am I mistaken in thinking that the mil spec equals GL4? My front diff seriously needs to be changed and I want to put good stuff in. I live in AZ so I definitely need something that can...
This is going to sound dumb but its been so long since I took apart the temp gauge that I forget which wire goes to what post on the gauge. On the back of the gauge theres a smooth rubber connector and one with ridges. Someone said that on any gauge the ridged one always goes to the same type...
Does anyone know the guage/type wire for these different circuits? I have to rewire the temp guage since the wiring is broken and frayed and my guage has never functioned but both the guage and sending unit are good.
I tried USAA, State Farm, and a few others. Everyone freaked when I told them what it was. I called GEICO, they knew exactly what it was and I was done in 10 minutes. I was 25 when I got it (w a lot of speeding tickets :shock:) Its about $40 per month for total coverage, including roadside...
Make friends w cops, ex-military, firefighters, other big truck guys, etc. in your area who will no doubt be admiring your rig. Theyre a good resource to have.
Resist the urge to run over the cars around you.
I got GEICO. Everyone I called acted like I was trying to insure a baby genocide machine of doom, even USAA was like, "you wanna insure a WHAT???" GEICO knew exactly what I had and at the end of the conversation, the guy said, "well thanks. Enjoy your Deuce!" I pay about 40/month for complete...
They ever come for my rig, theyre gonna have some issues. Thank God for now AZ is pretty chill when it comes to trucks and guns. It seems our governor wants to tick a bunch of people off lately, but the Deuce is safe from restrictions here. I was wanting to get outta the heat for school but it...
Ok that post made no sense. What I meant is how do I know if the fuel has been turned up? I know how the FDC is bypassed, that isn't my question. I have no idea if the fuel amount is where it's supposed to be and with no pyrometer I could be running a high EGT.
My FDC has been bypassed, it doesn't have that cute little sticker on it so I'm not sure if it was done by the mil or the previous owner, but how is this done? How can I check on it? I don't want to be driving around in a deuce w/ no pyrometer and unbeknownst to me the EGT is burning everything up
I've had my Deuce for just a couple months and today some guy started telling me about my transfer case. Now I'm confused. First of all, the lever for the transfer case has three positions, correct? All the way up is high gear, where it has sat the whole time I've had it, then there's neutral...
Ok well for some reason I cannot click on those photos and make them bigger, but floridianson posted those pics and they work if you search for the "fuel density compensator by-pass" thread
Check the fuel lines above the compensator. If the line at the FDC inlet makes a loop into itself like in the top half of that first photo it's bypassed. If the line from the final fuel filter goes into that inlet instead, it's not bypassed, like in the bottom half of that first photo.
It's true. This can be called a sickness. Or an addiction. For now, I've got it bad. My poor camaros been in the shop for a few weeks now so the deuce has been taking me everywhere. And I don't mind. I guess I'm used to having to take it easy with my vehicles. I don't drive throw-away focuses or...
My compensator is bypassed as well and I was told that in order to run it on all the non-diesel junk I want to put into it that I'd have to reconnect the compensator but the reason they were bypassed is due to the compensator seals leaking after a while. So should I not reconnect it?
