I remember that. Sort of. Also that the ride and drive was among the scariest.

That may not be the officially approved method, but that's how I connected them. And it worked. That long thread is called "SEE, HMMH, and HME owners group", or something close to that. Most everything FLU related has been covered in that one, sometimes repeatedly. Be prepared to spend some...

You really can't use anything but the OE style plastic lines , or rubber hose, I suppose. Of course, now I can't remember if anything was different on the banjo fittings, but I doubt it. Anyway, I just heated the plastic up a bit and pushed it onto the fittings. It may have been described in...

I didn't need or use any special tools. Just replaced loose or questionable lines as needed. That SEE will be expensive for you if you don't work on it yourself, and without throwing parts at it.

What's a diesel mechanic going to do to the fuel lines that you couldn't?

Well, they do come with the built-in ether system, so it can't be all bad. If used correctly. And as mentioned, don't expect the fuel system to catch up and take over after one quick squirt. I still think you have air leaks in the system.

I don't think you need to worry about bleeding anything. These things are surprisingly self bleeding. I know many doesn't care for it, but it's easy to sit in the drivers seat and spray some ether into the intake while trying to start them. With a little practice they can also be kept running...

Just remembered...it's Belmetric. And don't forget to ask Matt about sending the washers for the banjo fittings, too. You probably won't need to replace all the fuel lines, but if you can turn one on the fitting, that's a leak point. Also, the gasket on the strainer is a likely source. I...

I chased several air leaks, and severe bacteria in the tank, for a while. BioBor took care of the bacteria and parts and pieces from Matt (of course I can't remember the company name now) solved the air leaks.

Depends on what you consider "new". They've been using the soy lube for about 20 years by now.

Let me know if you're interested. I have nice one for sale.

Would you mind an HME?

They should be the much better flat face version. As I recall, the ones on the tool reel are the same, so get the part numbers from those. I've used Google, then eBay from there.

Or I have the wrong alternators in mine. They exceed the battery at rest voltage by quite a bit, much like all the other alternators in other vehicles I have. That's not based on my opinion, by the way, but knowledge of basic electrics and experience.

With the charging system working correctly, yes, that's low.

I tend to buy from whoever has the stuff for a good price. Which can be numerous places, including eBay.

Where is it? What does it look like? There's something leaking a bit in that general area on mine, but I haven't tried finding the source.

I left the backhoe in place and folded up when messing with my outrigger valve. Not many hoses in the way, really. Then again, I never removed the valve itself, just the plug at the bottom, so I could pull the guts out and clean things up. Glad you got yours fixed, too. Having the outrigger not...

Welcome, ODB. I think you're doing the right thing reading through this thread. There's lots of good info in it (and then there are my posts, but hey, no thread is perfect).

You may want to clean off the hub surface that the spacers rest against. And that doesn't look like much thread engagement on the bolts holding it on. Either way, don't forget to retorque the spacers after a little driving.
