    Almost time for the recovery!!

    I am going to pull my parking brake apart in a week or so. Mine doesn't hold well either and the lining is shot. I found a local shop that will replace the media for me. Check with semi service centers in your area to see if they know who does that in your area. As important as that is I am not...

    So i bought a Deuce

    Is the fuel gauge reading but incorrect or just not moving? When I got my truck it was reading incorrectly so I ordered a new sending unit. When I took the old one out I found the reason it was reading incorrectly is because the resistor was covered in algae. I installed the new sending unit...

    Torque Rod/Dogbone Replacement, the easy way

    Has anyone had issues with the rubber after welding the flat plate to the rod end? I am considering doing this as a safety precaution, but I don't want to cause a problem I don't have yet either. Thanks

    Hard top installation instructions

    This is what I can read. There are some pictures that I was able to see when I unfolded it a bit but the drilling out part is what I need some help with.

    Hard top installation instructions

    We are trying to install the hard top on my truck but the instructions are mostly destroyed. Already removed that plate on the cab cleaned it up and painted that. Also repaired some rust on the windshield frame and painted that too. Most of it is common sense and we have it almost complete but...

    Pyro advice

    Has anyone installed a pyro on the cat 3116? Is the back section of the manifold the best place on that engine as well for the thermocouple? Thanks

    cat 3116 cylinder 1 "misfiring"

    A water separator may be a good idea. What type did you use? I found a Dahl 100 that looks like a good option with a 30 micron as a prefilter. I keep finding a reference to a screen at the inlet of the pump but I am not sure if its for the newer electronic 3116.

    cat 3116 cylinder 1 "misfiring"

    They checked the return line for bubbles. I had considered having them replace that injector as well but I don't have any experience on this engine, and didn't want to just start swapping parts. Is there a screen at the pump inlet on these that could be clogged? I cleaned the tank and changed...

    looking at buying 1st deuce, have a question.

    There is a thread already started for that in the conversation section here. Hope that helps. Use the advanced search section and look for "2016 VIN INFO Thread, Please Read." Sorry I don't know how to link to that thread.

    cat 3116 cylinder 1 "misfiring"

    I have been having really rough idle issues in my A3 and a little loss of power so I took my truck in to get a checkup last week and check the adjustment of the top end. I have never worked on a diesel engine and don't have the tools for the top end adjustment so that's why I took it to a shop...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    We started painting the adapters and rims this weekend. I am still sick and feeling like crap so my nephew did most of the work. I helped setup the ladders and tape up the one rim. Starting to look good thou. We will be installing them this week hopefully.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I forgot to get a picture of it before we started cleaning, but it looked like a very dark scary cave in there with stuff waiting to attack you.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I use Diesel Kleen and Lucas Fuel additive. I also ran a bottle of Marvel in it when I first got it to help clean it out.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Had a bad algae issue when I bought my truck in June. Has been running fine since the filter changes and additives, but decided to clean the tank today. drained all the fuel and looked at the nasty crap lining the tank. Also found some extra items in there as well. There was an old float in...

    Detroit Locker Question

    While we are on the subject. I looked at lockers in the past but read alot of negatives about using the Detroit version in these axles which delayed me getting any. Anyone have any bad experiences with these? I was only considering getting one for the furthest rear axle. Any thought about that...

    MRAP air leak

    I second this! Get a small kiddie pool and fill it up. Pressurize the tire to 80 psi, and let it sit while watching for bubbles.
