I got addicted to the green iron phase back when I was 25. 35 now. For some reason, I'm one of those people who cares less to celebrate my birthday. I only care to celebrate my kids birthdays. However! It does give me a reason to buy something for myself and it's usually one of those things that...

Hunting season a while off yet and what game? If you have a few months left, might be better off replacing your bushings. Maybe have a spare with parts on hand to weld one if needed. Welds can break, especially if there are any micro cracks in it, which could lead to a problem in a bad place...

Myrtle? That's a good name, I like it!

From what I've read on the other threads like some that were shared here, you have an issue with the IP and it has a bad seal. A bad flame heater can also contribute as well, but if all else is done, the IP is suspect.

Took my son to the doc for an annual check up and while we were out that way, state lands weren't far so we hit the trails. It was fun...until we had a half a tree in the way. So instead of leaving it, I guess you can say we did a good deed and moved it out the way to re-open the road. The deuce...

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/24v-inline-fuel-pump.61149/post-2422973 Here's where I'd start 🤷 This thread has discussions on external and internal fuel pumps, the kind of fuel pumps, and how some plumbed the dual tanks.

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/fuel-in-engine-oil-multi-fuel-motor.155442/post-1887310 Here's a thread that might help. There's also other issues that can cause fuel to leak into the oil. I just used the search function, advanced search, typed in "Fuel in oil injection pump FDC bypass"...

Just to be clear, you bypassed the FDC ✓ You changed the oil ✓ You drained both oil sides of the oil pan? Check oil level one minute after engine stopped with the dip stick bottomed out but not screwed in? You smell diesel in the oil or is this just based on oil level? Any pictures of the...

To add to the nightmares....

This is easy. Know someone who has a saw or a little bit of a carpenter yourself? Save the sawdust. Put it in your ziplock style poop bags. When you poop, the sawdust dries it out. Put the poop bags in a trash bag inside a bucket. Keep hand sanitizer nearby and use some baby wipes to make sure...

I agree, Gypsy's kit is well thought out and finished, the plugs were definitely a perfect fit and looks good too!

Haha, thanks! Sounds like you take care of your truck! Hopefully that just means it'll last you longer with fewer repairs!

After reading all of this, another reason I'm glad I don't live there! Lol

She looks rough but the fact it say that long and you got it running, that's a good start. Have you looked further into the shifter to get to move freely? I'm curious to see this restoration!

If it does snap off and leaves the threads inside the tank, you'll have to get a set of those tools with reverse threads to insert and turn with an impact or crescent wrench. I can't remember what these are called, but that's how I got the piece of pipe out of my glad hand that snapped off...

My oldest likes to think he's a YouTuber. He'll make a video of himself starting off "hey guys!" Then continues on like he's talking about something important 🤣

Had some free time so I checked the oil, replaced the heater hose with some clear rubber tubing that I had. I noticed I still had some "Haspin" mud in the engine bay.

I'll say having a comfy pooper sure helps! I just use a bucket with a liner and a toilet lid that snaps on. When I didn't have it, that one time during my lunch break while out hunting, on my way down the trail back to the truck, I almost souled myself I had to go so bad. I gave in, fertilized...

Like Ken said, if you can snap some pictures, that would greatly help so we have a good idea of what exactly is going on. kenn- "more leaks than Hillary's email server" Thanks for the good laugh Ken, this was the funniest thing I've read all day 😆

From the sounds of it, I don't think you damaged anything. Certainly doesn't hurt to check though! If you have a bore scope or anything, you can stick it down the hole where the injector was and check the pistons for any deformation. At least if you do find some damage, you have time to look and...
