Just for giggles and snips, check the fuse. I’ve see many times a part that is new has to be fully inspected. I worked helicopters for 25 years. Never give Murphy a chance to bite you in the tookus.
When you pulled the cover to access the fuel pump, what was the condition of the gasket? Also, since we’re on the subject, the access cover, what kind of shape is it in? Last and probably least, have you checked the fuse on the top of the access panel? For what it’s worth, if the pump ain’t...
Sounds interesting. My M37 is heavily modified with a V-8, power steering, hydraulic clutch and some seriously bad looking frankenwelds. Looking forward to your pics.
Texas has Texas size bugs and the western half smells like a poorly functioning refinery. Utah is beautiful. The locals can be a bit odd. At least they were back in 1986, when I was stationed there. They have a lot to offer. Wyoming can be a bit overwhelming. Lots of open spaces (95% give or...
You could come north to the free state of Wyoming. I have had no problem titling my trucks. I have Pioneer tags because I only drive them in parades or vehicle shows/military open houses and I support Toys For Tots.
Yes, that is what I bought at NAPA. The tubing, inner and outer two pieces were all purchased. The only original parts were the fittings(?). When I tried to put them all together, they just wouldn’t fit together.
Thank you for all the information. There’s a lot to think about as applied to plastic fuel lines. All my repairs and reinstallation is complete and the truck started and ran without leaking.
I found the mysterious bolt while searching for a bolt that dropped into the frame. It’s a very small...
I bought a length of nylon type hose from NAPA. It had similar dimensions as the original. I also bought new compression doohickeys (not sure what they’re called) and inserts to prevent the line from being crushed. None of that worked. There is a slight difference between the original and...
Thank you for the information. I’ll keep a lookout for the line. I think it’s 3/8 inch. Not sure what the lines are made of. This one probably could have lasted for years longer had I noticed the chafing on the line. Unfortunately, that spot on the line is hidden by the heater assembly. From...
All of the fuel lines on this truck are made of an opaque plastic like material. They’ve been on the truck as long as I’ve had it, approximately 15 years. There’s no yellowing although they were painted OD green.
Went to the local Christmas parade. I started out as #1 and went then entire route, collecting toys for Toys For Tots. Not sure how many toys we gathered but we got some. Super danged cold 🥶. 18 degrees Fahrenheit cold. Anyway, reached the end of the parade and delivered the toys to the local...
I hope the best for your event. I have a gun truck but can not get from Wyoming to California with it. Best help I can give you is check out the gun trucks here in Steel Soldiers. Maybe someone in here could help you out.
