I'm planning my remote res and need info on what types of hose are safe to use with BFS and pressure of 15psi (for the bleeder). I'm planning to install a ball valve so I can isolate the reservoir from the rest of the system and then plug in my pressure bleeder to pressurize. I tried posting...

Planning my remote res and just wondering what's the correct type of hose to use from the res to the MC? Looking at the McMaster-Carr catalog and just can't decide which type to go with.

My truck came with goodyear 11x20 radials so tipping shouldn't be a problem.

I want to get the wheels off and rebuild brakes / grease everything before it gets too cold over here. I know the rear duals you can remove together and roll out of the way. On the fronts (11x20 radials) I'm thinking about using this dolly. Do you guys think it'll work ok? Mechanical Wheel...

I asked them for a price on a 24v civ alt conversion and a 12v alt addon and haven't heard back after waiting a couple of weeks. Are they still in business and just slow at replying to emails? If not is there someone else selling a similar setup?

That stuff looks very interesting. Mcmaster seems to have it too but cheaper.

I picked up a new front harness for my m35a2 and before I install it I'm thinking about covering it in this wire loom stuff. Flexible Nylon Wire Loom for Cables and Automotive Engines Any reasons not to use it?

Yes I do have that vent on my mc cap. What can I replace it with? I will respond to the other advice in this thread when I have a chance to mess with the truck after work tomorrow or friday. Thanks for the good ideas guys.

The problem is that the pedal gets softer when the truck sits for 1-2 weeks. I can't find any leaks so I'm looking for other potential causes. Bleeding with a pressure bleeder only takes me a couple of minutes.

So I'm still working on my deuce and it doesn't get driven much. Before I head out for a cruise around the block I like to pressure bleed the brakes and get a nice firm pedal. Then when the truck sits for a couple of weeks it feels like the pedal goes down further before I start to feel...

Some good info on prelubers here. M35A2 Engine Prelube System Installation I picked up a similar NOS system on ebay for $100, but haven't installed it yet.

See post #25.

Well crap... not sure I can tackle an IP rebuild and replacements are going for 1k on ebay :/

The part about the governor? Saw that, but I can't find a thread that talks about how to get at it and/or repair it. Been meaning to do more searching this week.

Problem solved for real this time. I found and fixed a small leak on my primary filter base and replaced both filters again. Now it seems to idle well, but I still have some issues with it wanting to stall after you let off the throttle. It would almost stall until I turned the idle up to just...

Anyone got any suggestions on this? I'm kind of out of ideas short of replacing all the lines from the tank to the pump. Is there anything other than an air leak I should investigate?

Argh spoke too soon. When I first start it up it seems to idle ok, but after a few minutes the idle starts to fluctuate again. Also when I give it some gas and then let off the idle drops and about 80% of the time it stalls out. Does this sound like an air leak? I checked the lines from the...

Youre probably right. I'll be installing a bleed valve on the spin on base so I don't have to drop the hose to bleed it every time.

She's alive! I'm not sure what exactly fixed it, but heres what I did. 1. Took shutoff mechanism cover off and made sure the lever inside was moving smoothly. 2. Took off the return line on the filter base and made sure fuel was flowing. Got a couple of bubbles, but then clear fuel. 3...

Checked that. Seems to be working like it should.
