    Middle axle only use in rear

    Yep as a tandem to much stress locked and running on anything that is not forgiving mud /snow. As a single believe at highway speeds you are going to get the unit to heat up way to hot. That plow /sander truck when in use would see slow speeds. When I plowed and sanded for the state I don't...

    Middle axle only use in rear

    It will need full time air to stay in gaged and a switch that relieves the pressure when off. Still believe it's not the best thing to run a diff lock at high speeds single or tandem set up.

    Middle axle only use in rear

    If you look at when the diff lock is applied to the MTV it is when you put it in mode if I remember. Full power to all axles front/rear. When I have used the diff lock in any truck it was only to come out of something nasty. It was then switched off as soon as the truck has reached hard pan...

    Sludge in bottom of filter normal?

    Yea that primary can be tough. They say you should never spin the canister. Well that's what I do. I loosen the bolt just enough to get the canister to spin and I spin off the canister. Clean/replace check for correct hardware. Then to get it started for install I hold the bolt with my finger...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Cattlerepairman I had a door that did the same thing bottom back bottom to low. I took some very thin washers and put them under the bottom hinge plate between the hinge plate and cab. Then I install the bolts and you might need a helper this time. You might get away with just loosen the bolts...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I was going to use something under my trailer but painted the wood instead. How many square feet do you feel that bed liner kit would do?

    Sludge in bottom of filter normal?

    Believe in the beginning there was a fiber washer in stead of and O ring. First goes the cotter pin in retaining bolt to stop first washer from going to the bottom of the canister. Next is the steel washer then the spring then another steel washer then a fiber washer that fit tight on the shaft...

    Hydraulic lock after filter change?

    I googled NAPA #5070 and if I remember that is the correct gasket but it did not show up. Maybe call NAPA and see if it is still a good listing for just the correct gasket. it's good to have extra. Don't worry about the mistake people have been trying to using the wrong gasket and trying to...

    Hydraulic lock after filter change?

    Yea the correct gaskets go in with one finger and no stretching. I forget the correct NAPA number but you have to order them alone or buy filter with correct gasket. If you have trouble ordering the correct or finding them PM me and I believe I have extra and will ship them to you free.

    transmission temp high

    Agreed check with IR been there with gage problem. If the gage is correct can I ask what are you doing when it shows running hot. In town traffic stop and go, off road or highway.

    My 5-ton stopped running all the sudden.

    No IP removal just to take out the fuel control. Just hope by taking it out you can get it freed up with using solvents. Just be care full and don't do it in the dirt if you can help it. There is the small clip that holds the governor linkage to the fuel control. I use a good pair of needle nose...
