Devilman96, you have me doubley confused. In the posting "Spin on fliters... time to do some trading!!", http://steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=58124, you said: "My suggestion would be to use a NAPA 1970 or even better a NAPA 1970XE and again, even better a 1970XD all...

Well, lets not give up quite yet. ah1955 has found an anti drain back filter that fits the OB1303 base, that solves 1/2 of the problem. Devilman96, I don't understand your message. You said "it uses a solid bolt (1/2 or 9/16) to bolt through the adapter plate into the filter housing. LDTs are...

Ken - We do think alike. I respect your philosophy on the stock filtration system and keeping your trucks as original as possible. Yes, that filtration system has been around for 50+ years and has served admireably in that time; but the military does do frequent rebuilds on the multifiuel...

Yes, mine came with the cover but I took it off. I just liked the look of Warren's dash, the blue lens gave a nice look to an otherwise (olive) drab dash, as does his center mounted low air pressure light. I too will be installing a low air light, but it will go in my Pyrometer/boost gauge...

Inspired by the pics of Warren's (G744) impeccable gauge panel with the blue high beam lens, I ordered a new blue lens from Saturn. After a considerable amount of work with a screw driver and pliers, I got the lens cover off and screwed the blue lens in place. Really neat, untill I took it for a...

Forget the Johnson's baby oil. ANY Deuce, especially a whistler, is a babe magnet. If they aren't attracted to it, they are not worth your time!

Ken, I respect your technical knowledge, but I have to disagree with you when you say your stock Deuce filtration is "working just fine". Barely adequate maybe, just fine, I don't think so. I know you'd like to "bypass" this subject, but I think we need a "full flow" of discussion here, before...

Well, one flat turn on the fuel adjustment nut (1/6th turn) improved my starting so much, I decided to crank in another one flat turn (two flats, or 1/6 turn total). Again, a huge difference! Now, with no hand throttle and my foot off the accelerator pedal, hit the starter button, and it fires...

RE: I am no longer deuceless Looks real good. Brakes may just need adjustment, check the TM section for the procedure. It is pretty well detailed in TM 9-2320-316-20, page 8-22. Many gauge problems (in fact, MOST Deuce electrical problems) are caused by poor grounds. Regardless of what anyone...

Ernie - Per TM 9-2320-316-20, fifth speed (OD) is 0.79.

Well, I have three pretty good reasons why my fuel mileage is so high, and a couple of maybes. First, my driving is pretty conservative - as I stated, rural driving, mostly topping out in 40-50 mph range, and often even slower than that, probably average speeds in the high 30's. Second, I'm...

I've been somewhat curious what sort of fuel mileage I'm getting with my Deuce, so I ran a little test. My fuel gauge doesn't work (although I did fix that yesterday with a new fuel gauge), so I had made up a dip stick calibrated in gallons in order to keep track of how much fuel I had in the...

How can that be, as the pump motor is above the pickup and often exposed to air when the fuel level is low - say 1/3 of a tank or so? And when the fuel level gets low enough that the pickup is sucking air, the entire pump assembly is above the remaining fuel level?

Gerhard's photo is an excellent depiction of a hub flip. What makes this work is that the bolt pattern in each end of the hub is identical - i.e., the axle drive flange bolt pattern to the hub is exactly the same as the brake drum (technically, brake drum extension) bolt pattern to the hub, so...

Got my my new fuel gauge from Saturn and installed it today. Just as a matter of curiosity and thoroughness, I did some voltage checks during the installation. Measured the voltage at wire 27 (power supply to the fuel gauge) got 25V as expected. Connected wire 27 to the fuel gauge and read the...

Interesting thing I've noticed with my Deuce - I haven't had it very long, so I haven't had to try any real cold weather starts. But - it used to be pretty touchy to start, even in relatively warm "short sleeve shirt" weather. It does have the ether start system but the ether cannister is empty...

RE: Re: RE: Old topic-new question If you need more pics of the air line routing, let me know. The battery in my digital camera died right after taking the picture I posted. I recharged the battery, let me know of any specific pics you need and I'll do my best to get what you need post them.

Unfortunately, both the -209 and -361 series manuals illustrate the airpack with the rear bolted cover. My airpack has the front bolted cover, no lube fitting, and does have a bracket riveted to the frame to support the rear of the airpack. Oops, see a little fluid leakage there, I just filled...

Knucklehead - Sounds like a great idea, a formed in place gasket. I wonder if silicone plumber's grease work work in place of the PJ, nothing seems to stick to the silicone grease. I use it for anything that ABSOLUTELY has to come apart again. Too bad they don't make OD RTV though! Love that...

RE: YES,There IS (maybe) a Deuce Spin On Filter Adapter Rizzo - So does that mean you get oil pressure right away when you start your engine (i.e., your filters don't drain back into the crankcase like the stock cannister filters)? What filter part number are you using? What adapter are you...
