If "A" block was to be used for a spacer it should have been solid and a bolt from the spring set attached through it. <> Main leaf spring hangers (2...

    State Inspection Failed, as expected, but two minor light issues. I finally found A great truck shop in NH to inspect my truck and as expected, my suspension is not Road worthy, so I failed. I have an appointment on Monday with a local spring shop to deal with the suspension issues. During...

    Solution to my fuel issues - single tank conversion or am I being to simplistic???

    Single Tank Conversion Completed, FINALLY! I have finally finished my single tank conversion, utilizing the driver's side 58 gallon tank. I used about 12' feet of 3/8 double braided fuel line for the return line (25' roll purchased on line for $25.00). I used a 3/8 barb fitting at the union...

    Solution to my fuel issues - single tank conversion or am I being to simplistic???

    Great thanks I don't understand why we are having such a difficult time finding the fittings. They sound pretty common??

    Solution to my fuel issues - single tank conversion or am I being to simplistic???

    Need some help guys, I have gone ahead with my plan for the single fuel tank conversion using the drivers side tank, bypassing the selector valve. I am working with a mobile hydraulic hose repair guy to assist me with the new plumbing / fuel lines. We are both stumped as to the size and type...

    Starting my 5 ton crew cab project

    Wow, incredible progress! Very impressed. Btw, if you need diamond plate or any custom cut steel, I used a small company in Fremont, Pm me if you need their contact information.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    See my pics below, installed today. The Humvee Nato (new $47.50) Slave Receptacle J-6362/U 24V came with a fused-in electrical power cord which would have plugged into a 24v charger. In about 5 minutes, I removed the screws on the back of the Receptacle, removed the power cord, and installed the...

    Hard Starting M818

    My big culprit was a crushed fuel line under the spare tire carrier. I also found leaks in and around the primer pump and filter housing.

    Solution to my fuel issues - single tank conversion or am I being to simplistic???

    Just to prime doghead, unless you have a better mouse trap. I would think turning it on for several seconds should suffice after a filter change? I guess installing an air valve in the tank cap would be an alternative to bleed after a filter change? Thanks!!!

    Solution to my fuel issues - single tank conversion or am I being to simplistic???

    I want to update my fuel issues. I found one major problem, after removing the spare tire carrier (soon to be replaced with a Super Single tire carrier). As you can see from the two pictures, the tank I was using (passenger) had a severely crushed fuel line. Yesterday, I capped off the...
