    Stanadyne DB2 rebuild

    Not wanting to be a buzz kill... But that IP needs a lot more in the clean department. 🧼 There's some critical / precision below the picture shown. Rebuild it is the word.

    Tie rod end help

    Little note... Looking at the pictures of the old ones with the locking clamp (tie rod, out board location, next to wheel) might need to be rotated around to clear rubbing / hitting on lip of rim in a tight turn. (might) 🔧🛠 Thread post #2 Can't find my glasses to hear, CAMO 🙈🙉

    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    All true... I concept is to eliminate the sock and screwing around dropping the PITA tank more than once. NO sock hop dance for, CAMO

    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    Which pump are we working with ? I am old school to keep the HumV pump part factory Chevy / Delco / Carter . They work well and understood. Haven't had priming problems with a quality lift pumps. (no leaky lines) Now the internal pump/checking valves could get gummed up gunk without...

    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    Another CAMO tip of the day. This might not go over well with the OEM crowd. But :unsure: about it. Here's what I do do. One time and last! Drop the tank. Clean and ready as needed. DITCH the SOCK. I can hear it now 🙉. Where the check valve is (3/8 line) Yeah... the one causing problems...

    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    I can bet more rods have been snapped off / busted... if the story was told. Hacksaw blade sounds like it would be in the way. LOL Always grease your rod first, CAMO

    Best Way to Power 12V Ham Radio Box

    I am going to ask this question... Cuz I want to understand the need for converting down to 12 Volts when dual voltage alternator rigs can handle an extra couple of amps say 5-6 and a peak current of 25 amps for the back and forth time one would only be transmitting. It's a two-way thing...

    Best Way to Power 12V Ham Radio Box

    I am re-posting my PM to help add to the confusion or help others understand. (y) Many way to go about it :unsure: 💡 Your M1123 with a dual output alternator with the 14 volt balancing tap connected correctly and quality batteries is the easiest, most reliable, cost effective. IMO That...

    Getting to it... CAMO tip of the day

    The mist / sprayers do work... But with the HARD water here if it get on the glass one is going to need a needle scalier to get it off. Cool beers work better, CAMO

    Injector Pump Question

    Click is solenoid pulling in. Doesn't mean metering valve is free. Study the DB2 pump operation > https://media.defense.gov/2014/Jun/20/2002655917/-1/-1/1/140620-N-ZZ182-6558.pdf There could be one or a chain of little issues to resolve any problem. Poking around for a quick fix might not...

    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    Good luck on your fuel problem. Working one here too. On a slightly different note, another GOOD LUCK finding a quality USA pump. Even AC Delco made in Korea. One had a cheap ass crimp ring that came off the lever arm end... and that ruined the day. Lasted about 3 month. Good on the...
