Just for smitts and giggles I looked at the TM. Correct FDC only should move when fuel changes and on start up. Now if we go by the TM fuel goes to a pressure regulating valve as per TM that is 20 /21psi. So even at idle where we have a minimum of 30 psi or high idle 60 psi it will not be over...

The oil line that comes off the block and goes to the IP feeds the IP the oil it needs. Leave it alone or as said they both could stand to be replaced if never done but has nothing to do with fuel in oil. I do not know what you have done to your FDC and dropping parts inside? What did you do? Is...

If we believe booster has a restriction then I might remove the rubber line that comes off the booster at the copper cross over fuel line. Remove line from booster to secondary and apply low pressure air blowing back through the booster and out the rubber line. The booster IP is a pain to...

Little bag of tricks even though Tricks are for kids.

I do not use tool to install only to loosen belt / remove outer half. I clean all threads on compressor shaft and outer pully half. Light coat of Never-Size on threads and then wipe it off with rag. This just leaves more like a residue of Never-Size but not enough to sling off and cause belt to...

Yea the two solenoids that are connected together on the 5 ton one is engine fan and the other is power divider. CTIS is at the end of the axle housing and much bigger line. The line in question also turns into a smaller Synflex plastic line at the frame. Something in the system dischargers air...

I thought the line went into the cab and ended up under the fuse panel and I was wrong. Now come to find out both MTV and LMTV have two lines coming off the front axle. As said I could trace one that was an open axle vent and as said goes to the cab support bracket. The line that is closer to...

Forget the air to the fuel tank you said your in tank pump is working and getting fuel to the primary. Now check to see if the copper tube that runs from the primary to the booster pump under the frame rail is crushed. If that is ok then remove the line at the Injection booster and see if you...

OK do not like to get dirty too much but hot not fun. 1088 one vent line goes up through truck frame work and mine ends up under the cab horse shoe support bracket. The other line I believe goes into the cab and is hooked to the air / electric solenoids. One is for the engine fan and the other...

OK I did look through some TM's I swear. I have two vent lines connected to the passenger side mid axle housing. I removed both and put some air to both. One I can hear the one and it seems to be right above the front axle just hard to see where it ends but is up in the frame. The other there is...

Has anyone switched out to mechanical water and oil gages. The oil seems easy enough but I would like to do water to just do not know if the head port is deep enough for the sending unit. I am not a purest so different gages do not bother me. Tanks

I believe you pump the primer ball when wanting to drain water.

It all depends if you just removed the Head or the whole pump. Just the Head we only remove it when the Head red / scribe is on the Head mark. Here we do not worry about the HB or four bolt advance window just line up Head red / scribe timing mark remove or install. The whole pump harmonic...

Most certain an Epidemic of OD iron. My OCD says red trucks need to be parked next to red trucks and green trucks next to green two yellow on both ends orange in the middle. Nice collection.

Wow tuff one. First have you changed all three fuel filters. Then if you believe you have fuel moving through the system and we are leaning to being hot problem how bout the fuel control unit assembly under the Timing cover. By moving fuel through the system I mean the in tank fuel pump is...

Brought the storage trailer home to make the yard look smaller and kill some grass. Just about got the other property cleaned off so I can sell it.

Guess you have to know what axles you have. There were install Timken ball and seat type that need grease packed around it. Then the up grade sealed U joint type that there is no way grease packed into the knuckle will ever make it into the little needle bearings that are in a X type U joint...

Did you run a little probe up the primary petcock to see if it might just be clogged? Also you can check for circulation by removing the fuel return line on the tank and run the in tank pump. Also we can check for in tank pump pressure between the secondary and final fuel filters at bleed screw...

Yep I have found many problem with my trucks and other trucks just getting down and crawling under one end of the truck to the other. Does help to be skinny in most cases. Good catch.

Well got just about everything MV related and some personal things loaded into the trailer. Now come Sunday will fire up the 915A2 and go to my other property hook up too the trailer and bring it to where I live now.
