    Duncan hubs take standare 80 gear oil, although I also add lucas oil additive. Put the plug at 3 or 9 oclock and add oil till it runs out of the hole. Drain and flush it first there are lots of small needle bearings in there that can get pitted from condensation that has collected in the oil...

    Clutch wont work without air pressure, once you get your air pressure issue fixed you should be fine. Also trace out your air lines there are lots of valves someone may have closed. There is also a valve by the rear passanger side of transmission that puts air to the axles etc to keep water...

    Check the neutral selenoid pull the hatch off over the tranmission in the bed. The electro pnumatic selenoid for the neutral sits on the passanger side behind the tranny. Make sure you have power to the selenoid (24v?) the make sure you have air. You could always pipe a bypass around it with a...

    One more thing the fuel tanks tend to rust from the inside out and be paperthin and may burst at any time. Ive heard some bad stories, mine all are fine but check it out just in case. The Y connection in the exhaust behind the cab tends to fall apart also keep an eye on it. sorry for the...

    One more tip, we dont have much for metric hoses or fittings in the U.S. so if you take your hoses to a rubber/hose shop they can take the ends (fittings) off of your existing hoses, braze a new nipple onto it and put a standard hose. You probably have access to metric hoses but may be not the...

    Good to hear you got it running:!: As far as I know there is not preheater as you said? I know there are no glow plugs, its direct ignition. I always pull the choke and it fires up even in very cold weather. I have used Ether if the batteries were low. Never drive it with low batterys, the...
