Funny how the Steel Soldiers forum is 4th on the list on the link. And it has 4 plus links referenced. Seems if you google a lot of stuff about military vehicles, Steel Soldiers come up.

You know, hoarding is an addiction. It can be treated. PM me your phone #, I think I can help you. Seriously, if we were closer, I would apply for an apprenticeship. I would love a tour of your facility!!!:not worthy:

HAHAHA I thought I smelled a rat!!!! Seriously though, at the dealer's we have seen rodent damage to plastic fuel/return lines, mice and nuts in cabin filters, and even wiring harnesses chewed up. We tell customers to get a cat, and if they have a cat, quit feeding it. Squirrels do lots of...

Can you get a cooling system tester from Autozone/Advance Auto parts? We got a rent and return program up here, when you return the tool you get your $ back

Maybe now is the time to put in an electric fuel pump???? And a block off plate?

I like a few hundred pounds of junk back there. Rides like a Caddy! :grin: Ask yourself this question: Would Arnold Schwarzenegger take the springs out?

Cucvrus, Nice Pic! As you said, not designed for that load. But even with the wiggle, I bet she pulled it just fine. Mine makes regular runs to the recycler too. Scrap prices dropped here, think I'm done til spring.

Scottladdy, the stuff is really fine and looks like varnish, not black and chunky like the flex ring is coming apart. Brown and flaky? Not rusty. And I have a new fuel filter, the silver square one, and a see through plastic fuel filter in front of it. Must be some varnish in the bottom of...

Followup to previous post! Determined to prove that mankind is its own worst enemy, I made a scrap run today. Plugged the new fitting with whatever the old fitting was plugged with. Not sure what is going on. Got home, pulled the top off the pump and used a power brake bleeder to suck all the...

BUT! Mine was clogged, and gutting the fitting fixed the immediate and embarrassing problem. Plus I learned more about the IP on the truck, and the lesson only cost me $30. I'm not real sure I could have gotten the old fitting cleaned out well enough. I tried to clean it before I gutted it...

I put a new return fitting in the top of my IP today. Previously broke out the glass ball/spring when it was clogged, couldn't make 30 mph, had a huge blue cloud around the truck. After destroying the fitting, it ran well. But had a surging condition I couldn't get comfortable with, and after...

10-4. I once worked with a guy whose favorite question (and mine) was "Is that factory or did you %*#% that up all by yourself?"

6.2 in a Bronco? Did Ford have a better idea? But I never heard of the Cummins in the GM stuff til now either. I'm familiar with the agricultural and industrial people putting whatever in equipment. I have heard of A/C tractor engines tested in some semi tractors in the 70's. I saw John Deere...

That's too bad buddy. Hope everything turns out ok for you

Mine did that for a few trips. I used a can of brakekleen and emery cloth on the shoes and drums. One had gear oil on it. I might have gotten lucky, shes stops real nice

30 more hp???? Holy Crap, them civvy trucks must be DOGS, I gotta find me one to race & win!!! I've passed one or 2 cars on the road, I am practiced up and ready!!! Where's my Diesel 911 with Cetane Booster???

HAHA Fortune Cookie Speak The Truth!

Make sure you can get that plug out before you pull the cover off. I had to use a 1/2 drive impact to get the plug out of my other truck. I'm just saying....

jacklegjim, send me a pm, i got that part of a seat left over;-)

And the fitting has an 0-ring where it screws into the top of the pump
