The thermostat does not fully open and fully close as you are thinking of, but it does direct 100 percent of the coolant flow through the radiator when it's "open" and directs 100 percent of the coolant flow to bypass the radiator when it's "closed", or any balance in between the two. There is...

In addition to "axle seal", try some variations on brakes and hub flipping. Good pictures of the seals and spindles there too.

I believe that you're going to find that if there are only two wires, the small wire goes to the generator/alternator, the wire that the current is delivered by to recharge the batteries. The current will vary but will be high at times. It should be repaired to 100 percent of the wires...

Maybe too simple, am I getting this right? You are saying that if the bottom plate were welded to the seat upside down (flipped left to right) that the bolt holes would line up? Hmmm. Sounds like more work than it's worth but it'd make a very clean installation.

The solution most people on this site (with pictures anyhow) have used is to use a commercial two inch receiver hitch that holds the receiver fairly low (the deuce uses fairly standard frame rail spacing in the MD truck world), and then use a drop ball mount to get the hitch down to somewhere in...

The multi-fuel ability comes from a fairly high compression ratio (but not unheard of in straight diesels), a specific and slight change to the combustion chamber (which resides within the piston crown, like many straight diesels), Fuel injectors that do NOT atomize the majority of the fuel...

It's on my list as of tonight. I have a couple of THESE in my toolbox somewhere. Would one of them be appropriate?

It's been a while, but it acted up and I believe I have found my issue. My lights nailed the starter button it's self as the guilty party. There is a very poor connection inside the switch IF you don't press it quite firmly enough, I am guessing that it arcs inside there a little, and spoils...

Definately better to know it than to have to use it... Very cumbersome at best.

If you're not sure that you could get as much for the truck as what you have into it, then how would you come out ahead by selling it at a loss and then starting with a new less expensive truck that needs all that same money re-invested in it again? Now you've shelled out the difference between...

Your winch already dictated which cable you "must" use. The direction that the drum spools in, and which side of the drum the first layer start on dictate that you should continue using the specified cable, which without looking it up I believe is a right hand lay. If it's not specified...

That simple model can explain it better than I ever could. I don't know if I would do that. If I did use the trucks power, I'd be darned careful not to overrun the winching speed. It will lay the several parts behind the truck on the ground to be driven over. When I did this with the...

Very critical, depending on which way the angle is and which way the particular layer is winding. If you're pulling towards the newer layer, much more of an angle is possible. Not exceptionally good for the cable, but if the cable is in fair to good condition and lubed at all (even if less...

That particular recovery does take a bit of "thinking" to follow the logic in it, but it does work very well. I've never done it with a Deuce winch, but I have with civvy towing equipment that the cowboys at work overestimated the capabilitys of. If you think that looks bad, try it with a...

The ability to run on (almost) anything is like you say, in the engine. The pump is "calibrated" on the fly by the FDC, setting the maximum horsepower output based on the fuel used. More specifically, the energy per gallon of fuel is estimated mechanically by FDC, based on the viscosity...

It saves trouble on the first day, but it fries the second battery in short order.

I have a theory about these brakes and choosing fluid. (Just a theory for now...) The vent is open, so I can use DOT 5 like what's in it, condensation will be slower, but will fall immediately to the bottom, and rot the low spots, primarily the bottom of the wheel cylinders. The instant...

OK, so I couldn't quite reach the horn connection at the horn, but I ditched the switch bracket and used the ether start/flame heater switch hole. (I was hoping for the switch to be over on the right side, but oh well...) I rearranged the kit wires, and plugged in at the horn relay. I had to...

Haah! The horn wire... I bet if I moved the switch a little I could reach that one out in the engine bay... Never thout of that. Thank you very much!

I don't know if greasable joints are specified when the truck is built or not, but many originals and replacements are "sealed for life". There are also ones that use an inverted cup fitting (not like a conventional grease fitting) in the center of one cap on each joint. Most greasable joints...
