Hi Armyman, I wouldn't run too much ATF in the Cummins. You can mix in with Diesel or Heating oil, but no more than a couple gallons to a tank. Also if you don't run Used oil, it is not practical.You can mix Used motor oil at the same mix Don't worry about Seddiment! With primary and secondary...
Well I been around trucks and heavy Equipment for many years and I have a couple Deuces ,and a muffler on a Deuce to me is like trying to quiet down a Harly Davidson MotorCycle, And expect it to remain as popular as it is!!! Itook the mufler off my 1997 Dodge 2500 Cummins, and I gained 5 MPG...

What exactly does a Turbo Do?? I am to understand it gives more" Pistola" at low RPMS, MORE HORSEPOWER, and better economy!! Anyone who runs Non Turbos and then runs a Turbo will see the difference right away. Diesel Engines are built for Power at Low RPMS!!Look at the difference between a...

I got to agree with 4x4recovery. These vehicles are Offroad trucks built to take a beating. The drive train is not ballanced as well as On raod trucks.If you put Air ride on a Deuce the wheels will Hop all the way down the road. If you want a a faster ,smoother, better looking truck, go...

RE: What is the best year of Duce to buy?
My opinion try something in the years 1968-1972, With turbo is best. don't go by miles showing on odometer, check Hours and mileage.Watch for serial # with O4???
