What is the burn policy? Are having "cold camp" or are Propane cookers welcome? Small campfires? Can @m715mike bring his guitar without spooking the cattle and being runned off?

Being as there are language guidelines on the site, I'll stick to "buddy" "friend" and "brother by another mother"....

I'm taking the dark blue route Friday, so I don't know if I'm going to run into anyone. If someone will be available for me to call in case I get lost over there, please message me your number and name or if anyone has somewhere along the route we can meet. That said, I'll bring my convoy...

I literally was in the process to start deleting cookies etc when I saw this thread... 😀😅😁

Just got things lined up.... Bertha and I will be there!

It turns out they have a priming port! I found it after pouring about a gallon of oil half a quart at a time down my arm....

I got the old one out and new one in. Now my stinking oil pump isn't building pressure. I've posted a thread about it. Probably going to order a new pump as I'm not sure of the condition of the donor pump. If that doesn't get it... I'm repowering. Probably a 4bt diesel.

I'm waiting patiently.

I let it run for about 15-20 seconds, definitely long enough for pressure to build.

While running.

This guy. I even made sure it was facing the correct direction.

I broke the fitting to the block that Ts into the line to the head and the oil pressure sensor. I pulled the QD and oil did, indeed, fly. My oil pump was kinda thrashed on the bottom, I think from debris circulating when the piston took a crap. And being as I don't know the status of...

There is, but it cleaned it and put it back.

Ok all- Here's where I am: I rebuilt the T230 Tornado, no oil pressure on the electric oil pressure gauge, so I put a manual testing gauge on and still no pressure. I pulled the oil pump and made sure it's primed, still no pressure on the gauge. I pulled the quick disconnect off of the...

I believe I'll be home, but things are nuts at work right now.

Well, she's fighting me every step of the way.... Got to the shop WAY too early for a day off.. And commenced working... The first thing i did was hang a needed shop accessory that this old girl taught me I need: I put the thermostat back in (as I had left it out while I was offshore to...

Well, I'm home and dug into why she wouldn't start. One thing I failed to mention (maybe 2) was that a: when I ran her on the stand, I didn't have an oil pressure gauge hooked up. B: she was making a horrible squeaking noise shortly before I shut her down Well, here's some of lessons I've...

That's when you buy a case of beer, set up a camera, hook up some straps to your super light truck and the bottle jacks and blocks and hammer down!

To add to this, get a concrete bit for the pressure washer. My M715 had a poor coat of paint on it and not only did the concrete bit remove the old paint, but rust flakes etc too. Before: After the concrete bit: And as far as paint goes, have you considered using house paint? Much easier...

He asked for this to be his first truck that he will drive to high school. I told him I had no issue with that, but he will put in sweat equity and learn to maintain it so I don't get calls like "Dad, it won't start". I want him to be able to troubleshoot it and do any type of repairs he will...
