    Wrecker Owners, Stand up and be Recognized!

    Well got rid of the last two 816's today and that leaves just the Air Force IH 5 ton left. So I am still in the wrecker club for now.

    The correct response to "Why do you need a military trailer?!!!"

    Correct answer is to hold all the OD stuff I really thought I needed.

    Fuel system problem

    Guess if the fuel control unit assembly is moving free and springing back from the seven oclock position to about the four oclock then next step. Guess smart thing would be to check delivery valve by removing it and cleaning out the port of any crud that might be stopping it from closing...

    Fuel system problem

    With just the in tank fuel pump running ( motor not running ) the fuel is always returning to the tank after it goes through the injection pump. With motor running same thing it is a circulatory system. So she will fire up on starting fluid but not stay running. You could try and look over the...

    deuce wont start.

    As you might have seen me and my "friend" banter at this all the time. We through out ( guess) the most common problems but it is so hard to fix a problem without hands on and checking what we think could be the problem. Truthfully the Troubleshooting the 465 manual is the faster and my .02 the...

    deuce wont start.

    The delivery valve just gets gummed up and will not hold the pressure to be delivered because it is staying open. It opens and closed between every delivery stroke to each injector. Only thing is checking spring is ok and valve and the port are cleaned out. We had one member the spring was...

    deuce wont start.

    How bout checking the delivery valve on the side if the head in the pic to start with if you did not already. After removing the cap there should be a spring and the valve. If the valve does not want to come out easy you might try with the in tank pump running and give it some help to come...

    Algae in Generator Fuel

    I use biocide's in all the trucks. The problem with a couple of the fuel tanks was the Asphaltene or black taffy that gathers in the bottom of the tank. They do make a product that is supposed to break it up but it can run through the system / injector pump and injectors. Best not to let that...

    Stuttering/starving at acceleration - ideas

    Taking apart a Deuce IP that you bought, took it apart cleaned it up pretty and put it back together and never installed, wow. I sent you parts free so you could do it. I also gave my Son a whole one to take to his high school shop class so they too could take it apart multi times just to get...

    M35a2 Wont start

    We remove the bleeder fitting and using a fitting that screws in to that port then the gage fits on that fitting. As for the in tank pump you can let it run just by it's self as long as you want to get the system filled and fuel returning to the fuel tank. Sometimes I will turn on the in tank...

    Stuttering/starving at acceleration - ideas

    The question was is you "FDC" bypassed? When a "FDC" is bypassed the servo in the "FDC" no longer moves to change the wedge stop plate that the droop screw rides on that is connected to the "Fulcrum". If you have "ever" bypassed a " FDC" you will know we must then readjust the main fuel / twin...

    what cordless tool are you using to get your lug nuts off

    For everyday use on the smaller stuff ( car tires and such) I use my 1/2". For the truck tires my 3/4" one key has done the job every time so far. So for smitts and giggles I removed one lug nut cleaned threads with wire brush. Then as per manufactures recommendations two drops of oil on the...

    Yep when ever I have a truck that I am bypassing the FDC I take the flame heater out of the system at the same time. Glad you found your problem.

    Stuttering/starving at acceleration - ideas

    Yep when ever we have performance problems it should be listed first change all three filters even if you believe they are ok. Also believe a member just found trash in the booster pump inlet port that caused restriction. Then we go to fuel delivery pressure. We need a gage 0 / 100 psi hooked at...
