Found out my in-tank fuel pump quit after changing my fuel filters.............not the best time to find this out. Got her running, she starts and runs well but still want a lift pump. After pricing them just feel that they are crazy high............heqq, it's just a little electric...

Wanted to crack the fittings on the rear brake hoses (am replacing them) before soldier #2 showed up to help bleed the brakes. The hoses are at least 100 years old (yeah, on a 50-year-old truck). Was only able to break one of the four nuts lose, two per hose of course, the three others will...

Left home and thought the brake pedal was a bit high but am old and was tired and though it was just me. Picked up a load of hay and got ten miles down the road, looked out my rear-view mirror and saw smoke. Pulled off to the side and smoke was coming off all four rear wheels. Not much I...

Have not seen the little gasket that the bolt goes through on top of the filter housing listed at any of the usual parts suppliers. Mine are trashed, got away with using RTV last time but would like to use a gasket instead. Any ideas?

Could powering an inverter off the slave cable receptacle for an extended period of time mess up my electrical system? I would like to use it as a backup for power outages. My concern is that the vehicle batteries could over charge or do other damage to the electrical system. Am not much of a...

Have several totes that have been sitting for 5 years, been running the WMO through a 3 micron filter/water separator, only sucking off the top 50 gallons or so. Then refill the tote and it goes back to sitting for another 5 years. Thought that should be good to go but read here in an older...

Never thought much about it until a friend mentioned it to me, that weak batteries can kill your alternator. They will make your alt work extra hard. I ran my truck for some time on batteries that were only fair, and the gage was always showing the alt working hard. Finally got some new...

Just replaced the inner wheel seal on the front passenger side, had to drive it out with the 6' pipe method. Have not put the tires back on yet and the old gal is still on jack stands. The question is: Should I be able to turn both wheels by hand? Can turn drivers side and could turn passenger...

Anyone in south central KY that can do engine work on a deuce?

Poo.............Went out to do some passed do 1st echelon on my CDL deuce this a.m. and found the drivers side door stuck closed. Of course can not get to the access panel with the door closed. Played with it as much as I could......inside and out.........but the latch is stuck hard. The only...

Hi , What are the possible causes of lots of exhaust pouring out of the crankcase breather tube? Just had the old gal drug home and think I might have a bad turbo, could that be a cause?..............too hot to touch right now. No oil and water mixing. thanks for any help.

Took the old gal to town today and she shut down on me several times, was hard to restart, excessive smoke, rough idle. Toped off tank, only took 15 gallons, added PRI-D and weed eater oil as always. Pulled some fuel off all filters, looked good, all the clear lines were full of fuel. Got a...

Looking for the best zipper CV boots made today. I know this has been brought up many times before, but things do change. My last boot failed after only 4 months and 380 miles, all on the hard ball.......that's a very sad piece of junk. Who's got after market zipper boots that will go at...

Am in the process of replacing my Deuce's transmission. I can not bust the nuts/bolts loose from the front propeller shaft, did get the jack shaft off, but with great difficulty. The nuts have a sleeve on the outboard side with horizontal cuts in them----------does anyone have a trick for...

While this is my first real post, have done a whole lot of reading here and much appreciate all the info gained. Last time out in "my new to me" deuce it developed a loud chatter in 5th gear. Did research on here and when I popped the lid on the transmission -------------sure enough had a...
