Let's figure out a date for the Spring 2012 Rausch Creek Rally.
My vote is for the weekends of 4/14 or 4/28. How about you?

Take your old hoses to a local hydraulic hose shop and have them make new ones for you. They make them while you wait. Brand new hoses in a couple minutes. Here's a place by you. I don't know them - Cook Brothers Truck Parts - Location Information

My experience with Rapco was excellent.
I placed the order online and recieved a phone call the next day to explain that my order qualified for shipping discount available on the website. At that point they could not adjust the shipping amount so they applied it to the merchandise amount.
That...
Update
Zeisshensoldt found a shop which drained the bad diesel, put some fresh fuel in, swapped out the fule pump fuse, changed all filters and changed the oil.
The mech pointed out that since all of his tires were dry rotted and one was flat the truck is unsafe.
The truck currently has 30...
All, I'm booked all day now since the plan was to get the truck on the road this AM. I'll respond when I can and will make myself availble if possible. No guarantees. The rest of my week is booked as well.
As Gimp said he is soldiering on. His plan is to hit the road between 8 - 9 tomorrow morning. I also sent oil and fuel filter torque specs and slow blow fuel pump fuse part #.
He said overflowing. The fuel strainer wasn't pulled up during the fill. I think we fixed that one.
Fuel issue
The fuel in the tank was described as cream colored. Guessing that is junk growing in there. See attached pic.
I offered these options...
1) it's best to drain and flush the tank...
Just spoke to him.
He mentioned that the tank has an issue taking fuel. It fills up / overflows and then the level goes down.
I'm guessing there's a bunch of crud in the tank. Thoughts?
He's headed out to the truck with a flashlight to take a peek.
Yeah, the axles on the Cobi brand blocks are junk. My son ended up with two of the deuces. He instinctively made one a parts truck and rebuilt the other. Love it.
Update: One year later and the EUC finally cleared. The truck became a picking ground in the past 12 months. No winch, cargo cover, spare tire, jerry can, etc... you get the idea - see first pic.
GL cut us a deal we could not refuse.
Per wreckerman's earlier advice on this thread my son and I...
Oh boy. I'm joking. Not nitpicking. The only things I can think of that would be made in Antartica are penguins and snow. Picture that gift shop!
Now lets get back to those sweet fork lifts...
