• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Hi all, i'm just reading the latest Transmoto mag which talks about cleaning the efi fuel filters. Just wondering if someone out there knows what to look for or if there are any issues on Huskies? i have a 09 te450
 
Haven't heard much- other than tps adjustments and such-
BUT At some point? I would think the Throttle Body should be cleaned- you'd have to be carefull with the sensors and such though... I have basically went with the "aint' broke" philosophy on this topic so far though.... I have not inspected but I assume there is a MAF that would be sensitive to cleaners and debris. I am sure at somepoint I'll look closer and clean it appropriately...

As far as fuel filters- there's the "bag" and the plastic filter- I have read reports of having no issues with the stock plastic filters- and also heard a shop that found the filters splitting- also oldhuskyrider found an all metal filter from an auto parts store but I don't know the specs or the part number maybe he will chime in... so far so good on my end- but would like to change filters as a preventative measure fairly soon as I have racked up alot of miles- with questionable fueling options at times.

I got an all-metal filter at auto-zone (about $5), with the same size nipple at both ends (the stock filter has 2 different sizes), I also used $30 a foot submersible hose. I chose the filter based on its compact size and nipple size (to match my hose and pump). It has worked flawlessly over 1000 miles now, from 800 feet elevation to 10,000 feet.
