    oil type

    you will want to use a modern 15W-40 Diesel engine oil. You can use a Diesel 30W, but make sure its Diesel rated!!!!! If you plan on driving your deuce in the winter DO NOT use a 30W, use the 15W-40.The spin on filters take about 10 min to install on a bad day.

    most of us un hook then due to them leaking/failing at a high rate and deluating the engine oil. With good batteries your multi fule should start to 10* or less with no help. I have seen many people getting little batteries, that engine needs to spin at a min 200 RPM or it wil not start when...

    Shift Indicator install help...

    no it hooks to the column... shift the truck from park to drive and you will see the column rotates. where that wire is hanging right now in the pic is where it clips on to. well close to it... you will need to find the correct place to slip it on. Its not that hard man trust me.

    Warm starting issues, white smoke, and confusion

    it sounds like the temp sending unit, also make sure the glow plugs are good and if you have not replaced in the last couple years its time to do it again.

    Warm starting issues, white smoke, and confusion

    if you are having injector problems you know you can replace all 8 for about 80 bucks right? I just dont like tossing a bunch of snake oil and wasting money. If a injector is bad.. its bad.

    How do 5 tons go in the snow??

    I have driven my Deuce and 5 ton in the snow and I can say that the NDCC tire BLOWS! Even with a huge 1600 Radial tire you will want a good amount of weight in the back of your 5 ton. That seams to be the weak point is ground pressure on a unloaded truck. The rear tires will not grip they will...

    M1009 glow plug light

    Do you wait for the light to go out before starting? You should NEVER start the truck until the light goes out.
