no visible leaks anywhere, even when running. It didnt start without using the flame heater and it struggled to start like that. the flame heater wasn't hacked up. they just disconnect the feed and return line from the nozzle and coupled them directly together. essentially making them...

cool, thanks for the confirmation on the tank pump. no i didnt remove that line, but i will check it out. i dont think the manifold heater lines had anything to do with whats going on

(1)i need to remove the tank pump and inspect it. i dont think this is the culprit because we seem to have plenty of pressure south of the injector pump. (2) the feed line was coupled directly into the return line for the flame heater. The nozzle was still attached to the intake. Besides...

ok, thanks for the tip. should i test all 6 lines? once its running it sounds fine. but if your at idle and the air pump needs to kick on it dies. or it you max out the steering with the hydraulic pump under load, it dies also. i need to get to the bottom of this starting issue.

he doubble checked pressure going into and out of the primary, going into the secondary and out of the final. all was good here visually (didn't have anything to verify the psi). I am not up to speed on all the abbreviations, what is FDC? He disconnected a line at the injector nozzle and it...

I'm digging the mirrors also.

Did some exploring of basic fuel pressure today. To make it as short as possible we had good pressure being supplied from the pump in the tank all the way up to the injector pump. We had NO pressure after the HH. Is the HH something that can be cleaned and reinstalled?

I'm going to be getting my hands dirty with the IP and HH soon. i just heard about the droop screw jsut the other day. ugh.... so much to learn. there is nothing like skimming a 900 page TM to try to get information before you nod off from boredom.

i came up with a plan today based of the suggestions and proven knowledge from you all. I will be able to get the pistons on the same plane, and be parallel to the axle and be out at the end to help with leverage. I'll get pics of the mock up when i can.

People like you really help out so many of us. we appreciate it. [thumbzup]

GREAT POST. I also am new and was thinking about my coolant. what is the proper coolant and level? my temp gauge may be busted because it never seems to move. also my heater never throws heat, barley a warm breeze and that dosnt seem right

wow.... I read this entire thread tonight. wow.... you possess a lot of engineering type knowledge. methanol injection, bumping fuel pressure, axle's, gear ratios, incline grades, battery system draws, winches, etc....... wow, thats all i can say.[thumbzup]

the 2.5" was the outside diameter of the piston housing/cylinder

Thank you for taking the time to give me an education and point me in the right direction. when i was reading your discription of how your piston was mounted i couldnt visualize where the flat plate was it for a few minutes, then it clicked. well done and nicely reinforced i might add. i will...

i looked briefly at your pics and the video for a quick sec (kids driving me crazy today). I see your piston is a single with a double ended ram. i can tell there are some clamps on the ends of the piston but i am curious how yours is attached to the truck. i also like the small tie-rod ends to...

I would like to see some pics of yours for comparison. I TOTALLY agree about the welding. It looks like snot. I have been a welder for almost 20 years an I want to definitely clean it up. I would be embarrassed if those were my welds (although sometimes things get done and are strong but not...

insert pics i would be more than happy to insert pics directly into the thread if someone would tell me how to do it. That don't mean tell me to search for it or look at the FAq's

I havent forgot about the earlier questions about my Hydrolic steering set up. I took some pics today and added them to the album I posted on this thread earlier. Here are a few pics. Hope it helps.

:-D Lots to update today. so my curiosity about this flame heater lead me to look for some videos on Utube. I found a nice video explaining the components and i was thinking to my self "That's It?" It was just as easy as working on a home heating oil burner. Anyhow i looked under my hood and...
