Did the noise lessen as it warmed up? They do sound like they're rattling apart when first started in very cold temps.

I love it! :not worthy:

Great story. I wish my neighbor was more like yours!

Yes, Saturn Surplus has the mirror and the bracket.

Welcome!

Outstanding!!! You have a true talent sir! I really enjoyed looking at the pictures and all of the 'extras' on each model. They look as though the driver just stepped out so the picture could be taken.

AWESOME job! What a super looking truck! you should be proud. From a fires standpoint it's kinda like the Grim Reaper, so call it "The Reaper". I think just with that 6x6 monster pulling up to a fire would put any flame into submission!

Question, do mep002's and 003's share the same starter? Just curious.

PM sent.

According to the oil pressure gauge the pressure comes up almost immediately, so I don't think that's it in this case. Well, I think I've got it fixed. I studied the schematic and went out and started chasing wires, etc. A buddy stopped by and I was explaining to him what had been going on with...

UPDATE: It's ALIVE. Finally got it to run, but still have a problem. With everything indicating that no fuel was getting to the cylinders, I started checking lines all the way to the injectors. Fuel would spurt at each section I checked when the engine was cranked. OK, so the cylinders are...

Bjorn, try Fair Radio for the cables. They don't list everything online so you may want to call for availability. Here is a previous thread on the VIC-1 that may be helpful to some. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/electrical/3153-vic-1-intercom.html

Yep DH, and one minute on the preheater before cranking.

Had a new fuel line made up today and installed it. So the fuel leak is no more but it still does not want to start. The fuel shutoff lever you guys mentioned is working correctly, it springs up when the solenoid is energized. I get a couple puffs of white smoke then nothing. It turns over fast...

Congrats!!! [thumbzup] That's one sweet tractor!

Keep the idiot temp light. The sensor for that is in the drivers side head at the rear. There is another passage with a plate over it in the same spot on the pass side head. Go to the dealership and order the cover with the threaded opening in it and a gasket and put it on the pass side head...

Hey guys. I've got a fuel line on my mep-002 that needs replacing (see pic). It's the short reinforced flexible line that connects to the injection pump. It is quite stiff so I'm assuming the rubber is dried out and cracked. Doesn't seem to be getting fuel to the engine since it won't start and...

Very touching indeed. It brought back some very sad memories for me. Our soldiers deserve the highest honor and respect we can give.

I like your vic-1 install using the bench seat, BC. My 818 has the bench in it so I'll probably do a set-up like yours.

Since Matt hasn't posted any pics yet.... hint, hint, :wink:, heres a pic of the setup I had in my deuce. The vic-1 is now going in my 818. There are 'civilian' systems that will get the job done, but for authenticity these can't be beat. They really do work well. A 'must' for long road trips.
