    Sprag adjustment no bueno or I did it wrong?

    This is great information. Thank you to all. samsimpson please let us know how this turns out. I was having problems with mine also and settled for taking the front drive shaft out since I didn't understand the mechanics of this. While it runs great now and probably gets much better gas...

    horn does not work

    If the wire was disconnected at the steering box end and you pulled the wire inside the steering box, you should see a small round black rubber boot type fitting pressed into the hole at the bottom of the steering box that the wire runs through. This helps keep the wire in place. Good luck...

    Fuel leak after spin on fuel filter kit install

    Might be part of my problem. I think I used whatever white teflon tape I had lying around which was for regular plumbing. Hmmm, how long ya think before leak starts again? I could tell previous leak because the bright white teflon turned a dull cream color where the leak was and the fittings...

    Fuel leak after spin on fuel filter kit install

    I also installed the secondary kit from Westfolk. Mine developed leaks around the fittings on the filter housing itself causing fuel to pool on top of the filter and drip down. I had to take everything apart and tighten them up quite a bit. Now ll seems to be good. I'm quite happy with the...

    secondary fuel filter change

    You are not bypassing the pump. The engine will draw enough fuel to run the truck through the IP. The in tank pump keeps fuel pressure to the filters, system and IP to purge air and allow filters to be changed etc so the canisters fill back up and air gets out. if your in-tank pump is...

    secondary fuel filter change

    Yes, take both of them off to fill them first, then tighten them back up same as just changing the filters. And make sure the vent bolt is tight/closed before you crank it or you will suck air in.

    secondary fuel filter change

    Definitely check the in-tank pump. I had same issue when I changed mine. No fuel coming to flters and my in tank pump was running. When I removed the pump to check it, the bottom had fallen off. Once that was repaired, it pumps fine and I get fuel to the secondaries and can purge the system of...

Or are you referring to the fact that the positive cable (red) that goes to the starter etc. is benig used as the...

    Soft Top Field Expedient Emergency Repair???

    Ok, the weather broke and I finally got off my lazy tail and took some picures. I took a piece of vinyl siding pictured. Cut only to about 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide and use the channel portion at the bottom. I then took pliobond and secured the siding to the top edge. I then took 1/8th inch large...

    Jerry Can Strap

    That would be for a one piece correct? The two piece one I have would not be long enough to do that. I'm guessing I was sent the wrong strap.

    Jerry Can Strap

    Am I the only one that can't figure out how to attach the Jerry Can strap? I have seen some unbolt the can bracket bottom plate and run a single stap underneath. The one I got was a two piece. One of the pieces was already sewn in a loop but the only way to secure it to the slot/hole would be to...

    Question

    I had same issue, mine is a 68. Sprag would not engage properly. Did all adjustments per TM, still would not work. Then it began engaging/disengaging occasionally making terrible banging noise and jerking the front wheels. Had to disconnect the front drive shaft which has solved the problem...
