    Turbo inlet hose part number

    Would anyone have the part number for the orange turbo inlet coupling hose in the picuture below. It is 3" long and 2" ID. It seems to be missing in the part TMs. Only ref I could find is for the LDS, none for the LDT. The Memphis parts guy was having trouble finding it also. Thanks Dean

    Cold Starting

    Since this is my first winter with the Deuce, how cold does it need to be before I need to use ether or a heater to start the engine? If I understood what I read on a post, you can damage a diesel trying to start it in cold weather without a block heater. Is that true? Thanks Dean

    Winch help

    Being the proud new owner of a winch for my Deuce I set about to go thru it before mounting on the truck. Need advice... Should the end frame (#12 in TM 9-2320-361-34) just slide off once the channels and rod nut are removed? The TM leads me to believe this but mine is not cooperating. It is...

    Air stop light switch

    Anyone know where I might find part #11602160. Erick's is out of stock. Found on on Ebay but the picture does not match the part#. One list in Israel but I don't think I want to wait that long! Saturn lists something but not sure. I'll have to call them. Pretty much other than that Google drew a...

    Starting to go thru my new truck checking fluids and learning its sounds. I expected to see purple brake fluid but I found yellow (see picture of a sample I pulled from the MC)! I am assuming that DOT5 only comes in purple, correct? The fluid is nice and clear, just yellow! If so, assuming...
