    Another Fuel Tank Thread

    gringeltaube Thanks, I can see now the fuel tank is really well built with a 100% positive drain at the bottom bung arrangement. I think the nicest Deuce existing just might be in Montevideo.

    Coolant heater hose location

    The big deal with this was getting the engine stop valves to work. I can change out the filter head/filter easy now. I almost had to take the front of the truck apart to get the water pump valve changed without damage to the generator. My first rule is don't break stuff and disable the truck. I...

    Coolant heater hose location

    Post #5 pictures is a TransDapt 1028 base because it uses 3/4"-16P spin on oil filters. Fittings from Zorro. Coolant filters use 11/16"-16P and are more expensive, and I need no additives anyhow. Truck original was 5/8" valve out to the heater and 1/2" back into the water pump. I put new water...

    Coolant heater/filter hose location I did read all I could find in SS (Thank You All) about coolant filters. After seeing the pictures of filters cut open, I decided this truck needs that.
