RE: Re: Losing coolant Scratch my comment that there are no visible leaks. Coolant is constantly dripping out of the truck killing the grass under it. It does not appear to be coming from any hoses. It's collecting in the bottom of the shroud then running which ever way gravity leads it. What's...

Hey guy's. I'm guessing you should be able to see coolant at the neck of the top of the radiator. It appears that the level is going down. I keep refilling 1/4 gallon at a time and it still seems to seep it's way down. No visible leaks on the cooling system. I have a, what most say, minor oil...

I bought one from saturn for $100 and got some new 6TL's from Interstate since my batt's were bad. I know the batteries are expensive but it's all part of me slowly restoring the truck to it's original form. LOVE the plastic box! Does anyone have any extra pins for the handles? I'm missing one...

I started my truck today with new 6TL's since my last batteries died a few weeks ago. After sitting for about 3 weeks the truck took 14 seconds to build pressure from the first indication of ignition to the needle moving. Seems like it takes alot less if you start it at least once a week. Scary...

If the only problem with the accumulator is that if you don't crank on the first shot you start dry then what's the differance between that and how they are designed without an accumulator. If it happens one out of ten times it's still better than how it was designed. I have a question. The...

Sorry to hear about your hard times. I will have to say you sort of asked for trouble towing a 14k lb truck with a ranger. There isn't anything on these trucks more important than brakes. It sounds like the truck has alot of rust problems and I'd say you should replace the wheel cylinders. You...

Where in FL do you live? I'm in Ocala. -Kelly

I like the idea of an accumulator. My question is, would be be able to hold pressure up to a few weeks between starts? Is that type of accumulator the type with the piston and nitrogen charge below it like airplanes use? I like the idea of the electric pump straight into the filter base better...

I stopped by my buddies farm, who I bought my deuce from today. All this talk about forklifts made me admire his all-terrain forklift he's working on to sell. It's huge! It's made by Chrysler, the model number escapes me right. I think it started with CHT or something. It's a 6k pound lift...

I use GL-5 with the MT-1 spec from Tractor Supply, works well and is yellow-metal safe. -Kelly

You guy's rock! I'm still getting the hang of where to find things in the TM's. I've been looking through some but I couldn't find that section in -20. I'll try and come across a NOS piece or good take-off. Anyone have one? I should PM westfolk lol, he alway's has the hook up! -Kelly

Weird thing is, the door opens fine from the inside. That makes it a whole lot easier. Only the outer handle does not work. So the mechanism isn't that hard to replace? Looks like I may have to take the window out possibly. -Kelly

My passangers side door has never opened since I've owned the truck and that's become a priority to fix for me. The handle is in good shape, as is the reciever for it in the door. Nothing is rounded out or stripped. The handle just moves up and down against it's stops like it's not connected to...

Getting everything together so I can drive the deuce around town now. My question is do you FL MV'ers know if Ill need a CDL or any kind of add-on to my regular DL? If I don't I want a print-out that prove sit to keep in my glove box. Just making sure I cover all the bases. Also, it is...

Does this mean, say, the middle left set would have the largest diameter, the middle right with the smallest, then the rest on the rear axle? That's kind of how I took it, how does running the largest tires on one side and the smallest on the other help the tire matching? I need to do this soon...

No fuel will drain from the primary filter housing without the accessory switch on, you'll get a few drips until there isn't any air to occupy the space of the fuel so nothing drips out. I had the same results when I cleaned mine out when I first got it, all rust colored. The air line under the...

Yea, the bottom of the draft tube mounts to the outside fastner holding the oil drain tube flange to the Turbo. The 3D diagram is a big difficult to understand but very usefull. The thing that was hardest for me was to see what to cut. You have to cut some of the apron away then secure it with a...

RE: copper tube Pretty sure that line into the breather tube is from the air pack. -Kelly

On the front axle, there is a plug on the back of the differential. Remove the plug and you will need a pump to pump the oil into the axle. I got one from advanced auto for like $6. I used MT-1 spec GL-5 80w90 oil. Fill the oil to where you can feel it a little below the threads on the fill...

When I get some time I'm going to make the article and Word document for a tech article for the TA part of the site. Are there enough pics? I didn't take pics of putting it back to gether because I did it alone but the steps are just reversed and the pics would be the same. Do you guy's think...
