The last few days my phone has really objected to the data network so I havent been able to get on. I spent last. Night near Ft Campbell, got to see my brother for a bit. From here I'll be heading down 24 to Nashville, east on 40 to Greensboro, down 421 on into my destination. I was having...

Katahdin - it was one of the injector lines, got it all fixed up and back on the road. Recovery - its like a warp speed Deuce. Makes me feel like I have covered a lot of ground turn key - I will take that as a joke, and the thought dod cross my mind as I was chugging up the hills in Wyoming...

No, i am all fixed up and in Ft Collins Co. That was my reasoning for replacing rather than repairing.

Mine cracked about 1 1/4" from the end. My two concerns with a repair were re bending the line to make up for the lost length, and if it experienced enough vibration at one end to completely sever the line, what kind of shape was the other end in. Also The places I could get parts to repair the...

Looks like lunch in rawlins wy around noon

Yesterday got a bit rough. Going up to 11.00x20 may have been a little much. My egt started outabout 100 degrees higher to maintain speed on flat ground. In western Wyoming there was a section of construction which went down to one lane. Of course this was on a decent climb. I pretty much had...

It was with out a doubt a cracked line. In the few miles I limped to the shop the line broke completely. Getting fixed now.

Thanks for the offer warthog, but I should be able to get one here tomorrow and should be fixed up and on the road.

I think so too, but I want to be absolutely sure before I start over the Rockies

Well today is a down day, waiting until tomorrow to get parts. But the upside is I now have good internet and was able to upload a video from two days ago. Probably the best Brutus has run to date. Crossing most of Nevada. The sound can be a bit annoying but I left it in there so you can hear...

Apparently my searching skills suck. I came up with some good info, but nothing that specific. Thank you for the added info. sounds like the ferrule is there to keep the line straight so the end of the line can seal against the bottom of the hole in the HH? Close to the end of my drive the...

Jason, only 54? better set up an order. I think you are right, shipping would take a day or two, though Boyce will cost a bit I should have it up and running without having to cannibalize anyones truck. Also if they have time I am going to try and have them look over the engine to see if...

I am thinking cracked line as well. Its on the tow truck and ready to roll out. I get one free tow and am concerned that if is more than just a new line I would have to pay for a tow tye rest of the way. I found a lot near their shop It sit til monday morning. I appreciate the offers, but with...

my messing with it made it much much worse. got on 80, couldn't get out of 4th. good thing I payed for road side assistance. annoyingly they need the fire dept to come out and clear the scene since it is a fuel issue. once all that is done we will see how far they will tow me.

Looks like Salt Lake is the closest option for having a line built, but everything is closed til Monday. Not sure if I would be better off trying to find a place to build a line in Salt Lake or go the extra 50 miles and hit up Boyce first thing Monday. Either way I am loosing three days on my...

Tried the teflon idea and no change. also realized that it is Saturday so not many options for a shop being open. Trying to find a place here that works on trucks, not having much luck.

While I am looking into how to stop my fuel leak I figured I would share some pictures First night on the road I spent at the Jessup Nv offramp. Had I known then that Jessup was a ghost town I probably would have spent the night in town. My view out of bed when I woke up. Lunch on Day two...

Here is a picture of the leak. While running it is coming up between the line and nut. Would putting some teflon tape on the mating surface be a bad idea? I am about 150 miles from Boyce equipment, I figure worst case of I can get there they may be able to help me fix it right

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?143548-Brutus-Coast-to-Coast **** Solved **** Yestersay morning I bypassed my FDC and all went well yesterday. During my pre run checks this morning I found fuel coming from the #2 injector line out of the HH. I tried tightening it, no change. I...

Got a bit of a late start this morning. I realized that I havent added oil in a ver long time yet it is still completely full. Decided to bypass the FDC and turn down my fuel. Also my hubs were running a little hotter than I would like so I loosened them a little. Drove 100 miles to Winnemucca...
