I'm happy to share what I've learned, this'll keep the next person from repeating my same mistakes. The closest thing to a tutorial is a thread over on Pirate4x4 that I contributed too, here's a link to it: https://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/tow-rigs-trailers/815276-oil-diesel.html How much oil...

Those are great pictures as well as insight on what may be going on, thanks! That landoll is impressive, it's probably old hat to you but I've always enjoyed seeing the power and innovation of hydraulics. There's nothing like having the right tools for the job! I'll have to start researching...

Thanks for the update, it's been interesting to jump around the threads and follow your evolving career! It sounds like CA might not be the state for you, neither of the companies seemed to be a good fit. Glad you're excelling now though, for us folks that don't LOVE our jobs it's always a win...

That's great news on all fronts, hopefully the pickup was nice and easy and I'm excited to hear that it looks complete and fixable. I've already reached out to some transporters and will also start perusing who from NC is coming to the rally. For a quick minute it looked like I might be needed...

I have friends/family on the Atlanta>Charlotte>Mt. Airy corridor. If you need a hand, don't hesitate to holler.

If you don't hear back today, feel free to forward me the email and I'll be happy to follow up and take care of the pickup reservation and then forward you the confirmation details. Really, whatever I can do to make this is as easy and painless as possible for you I'm more than happy to do.

Sandcobra, It was listed as a non-runner but none of the pieces were missing, the tires all held air, and I'm hopeful for some of the same luck that many others have had with supposedly non-running trucks. I'm on a tablet now but will try to post photos and such when I'm on a desktop later...

Papabear, Wow, I don't have the vocabulary to express the amount of gratitude for your generous offer. A simple thank you doesn't seem to be enough but Thank You! I will certainly take you up on the offer and yes, I promise that it will be out of your sight prior to the end of the year, and...

That is extremely generous of you, thanks for the offer! I just landed yesterday afternoon and getting settled back in for the next 10-12 months. I hear you on not having lost a thing, I was doing the math on the flight and figured that over the last 12 years, I've been out of the country more...

I haven't had too much experience with negative acid effects....heard folks talk about it but never seen anything untoward first hand. My thought is that if the bottom of the pistons and crank bearings can withstand it, the fuel system oughta be able to as well, especially after it's been...

I run a pressure driven centrifuge and my setup literally works on the flip of a switch (took some trial and error to get it there though). When I'm not deployed and still in the US, I would flip it on, leave for work, come back 10 hours later, and clean out the centrifuge. Afterwards, flip it...

WMO user here and with proper filtration and blending, I've found WMO blends to be effective in everything from 7.3idi to 7.3 PSD to 8.3 Cummings to a Volvo D12. If you're willing to take the time to centrifuge, settle out water, check viscosity blends, and so forth, WMO can be worthwhile. If...

Thanks for the tip and the offer of help, both are greatly appreciated! I look forward to attending the rallies once I'm back stateside, sounds like a good group of folks from the AARs that I've read.

Hello everyone, I just won an auction and need my new to me M1083 movedfrom Fort Benning up to Winston Salem, North Carolina (about 450 miles). I would do it myself but I will deploy next week and just don't have the time. Conversely, if someone has a place to store it near Fort Benning for...

How's the box rebuild coming? Although probably far past this stage, any thoughts of buying a small commercial camper and putting that on the flatbed?

A year and a half later, how's life and the truck treating you? Had the chance to do any more to it? How're the electric truck builds coming along?

Are you able to slide the camper back?

What ever happened with this? Did you make it back? What was the fuel issue caused by?

What did you end up doing?

So how'd it go?
