    preventable rear suspension failure

    G since I have not had a trunnion apart does the stock grease fitting on the bottom inject grease in between the inner and outer bearing / bushings? Just throwing it out there. If the grease is injected between the two then every time we service it we are pushing new grease back as you said...

    How to remove the Fuel Shutoff Rod on the IP

    Don't know if it will eat the embedded stuff in the steel on the plunger or fuel control. You might need something to polish it off if it is real bad as it sometimes you can not even feel the varnish. It's like a stain but you can not remove any metal on the plunger if you polish it.

    preventable rear suspension failure

    [QUOTE=rustystud Why in the world would the military say to install the zerk in the bottom of the trunnion and then "LOOSEN" the cap. Ouch bad mistake. Guess you can never say please read the TM's again. I looked for that TM but gave up looking but that was a thought I had but did not think...

    preventable rear suspension failure

    Maybe not enough. Since I have only been able to keep up the work on what trucks are working good I have left my first Deuce go down hill. She needs a restore but has some new stuff. I got this first Deuce from my friend that was like a son to me when he passed. His wife gave it to me and told...

    Advice needed on a M109A4

    I have an A3 but myself bug out I would go Multi fuel. Then I would loose the bed and bolt on an Airstream trailer on the frame rails or go drop side bed and Airstream in bed.

    Need some advice, truck won't start

    One reason I see is the emergency shut down cable needs to be reset or in the fordward pisition. Pic number 3. I forgot what all the electric connections were at the PT but they were for the diagnostic hook up and your is a mechanical engine so it will run with out them. Can not really see the...

    60 Series Detroit Diesel Help Needed

    If what they call the restricted fitting or check valve is bad is good to be a skinny country boy. Also manual shows a check valve to prevent drain back when filters are changed after secondary filter. I was just trying to see how many pumps of the fuel primer it takes after my truck has sat for...

    Middle axle only use in rear

    Correct but all the tanks are after the air dryer ( if working correct) so it will be dry air so not to worry about water if that's the case.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Replaced the Dayton wedge style hubs /wheels for new stud pilot with all new hardware. Was cheaper to change out the hubs than to buy new tires seeing as how I have plenty of new 11R22.5 on stud pilot steel wheels. With the new set up I don't have to pull the hub to change out the brakes if...

    Middle axle only use in rear

    Yea mine has two one for the engine cooling fan one for the axle interlock. Thought you were just going to tap a air supply and run an air switch like on the Deuce front axle engagement or a lift axle air switch. Could just use the correct interaxle air switch that is found on most tractors if...

    fuel filter mating surface leak potential

    Please put the brass bowel thing the outer way so the edge will cut into the cork making the seal. Using an O ring then O ring on top of last washer then brass bowel thing. So on the shaft down in the canister hole there is / should be a cotter pin. That stops the first washer from falling into...

    do i have a brake issue, leak on spider?

    Going out on a limb here. Yes grease only in the self adjusting wedge unit mounted to the backing plate. No fluid in the plunger. If the rubber pancake on the brake can leaked air into the shaft it might push grease out the self adjuster wedge thingy and past plunger seal on to the backing...
