4-sale: M353 3.5 ton rated trailer in great shape (New 11.00r20’s on deuce wheels) $1000obo I still have quite a few parts on the old 925”a0” I’m parting out, only bringing parts that are spoken for. Selling anything off this truck for cheap, free delivery to the rally! Already gone: Winch...

I’ll be bringing your chain and bucking dog with me, can you bring my axe?, i hope to see you and catch up! I’ll take a parts 10hp engine from ya and throw $20 for the hassle to bring it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Buy yourself a 12v Cummins barring tool, Pull the valve cover on the engine cold, and run the valve lash. Chances are it’s terribly out of adjustment and never been done Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a distinct disliking of the “average know it all” whom dumps any and all flammable liquids into a deuces fuel tank without so much as even attempting to filter it with zero concept of micron ratings on fuel filters Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No sir, my fuel systems are not. I’m very experienced with waste oils, centrifuging the “proper way” via preheating, settling, cutting with pump gas, and getting my fuel down to less than 1 micron contamination. Too many take the easy route of “well my engine has an oil filter so it’s good to go...

My friend i gotta pick at you, you’re sharing sound advise, but i have ran many a multi fuel on 90% waste oil and 10% pump gas in our hot Georgia summers. But it’s not recommended Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Out-#%€£ing-standing, glad to hear and it’ll be running like a raped ape for many more years now. If you want a little more go-juice, consider turning the main fuel up and low-boost fueling up a smidge too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sometimes green iron disease will make you sick, but with all the trauma I’ve been through over the past year honestly these raggedy rigs are my escape. So todays project: Truck has always been hard to start, surging idle, random light sputtering, wild rev-hunting when using the crane throttle...

The other day i needed the truck for a small project, checked the fluids under the hood, and hopped in the cab, hit the clutch and brakes only to slam straight to the floor. The rear-rear axle wheel cylinders gave out. Ordered (6) new wheel cylinders, inner-outer wheel seals, hub gaskets and...

Helped a buddy get his 20’ shipping container moved across his property yesterday during the downpour, speaking of which can someone quit bribing the weatherman for all the rain we’ve been receiving every weekend? Keep this up and I’ll have to only work my day job on rainy-days to get caught up...

Our tcase is something like a 1.36 underdrive case 24/7. Single speed A 1:1 t case would net you something like 77mph top speed if i remember correctly. @DeMilitarized ran the calculations at one time i believe Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I tackled this mess a few weeks ago, check out Post #11 https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/elijah95s-wrecker-project.211135/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone? Surely someone has dealt with the same thing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s apparently been this way since before i bought the truck, and despite what i though was “normal” hydraulic noises with no binding, popping etc How screwed am I? I have a mangled chunk of steel and lots of glitter from this portion of the crane under the truck Sent from my iPhone using...

I think it would be a great idea to go ahead and find one, the fill and drain plug has substantial rust pitting but surprisingly the gear does not. I’ve heard those brass gears are a finite commodity and I’m curious how long this one will last. Thanks for all the great info Sent from my iPhone...

Mmmm joy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, that’s not what i wanted to find in the hoist motor. Flushed it thoroughly with denatured alcohol and keep an eye on it to see if the seals let water in or if it was the vent cap. Will end up changing this fluid probably every other time I use it in attempt to further flush it, or just...

Go with the black dog stand-alone kit, better with tuning on the fly, better diagnostics, shift point adjustments, allllll kinds of goodies. I just installed one on a buddies truck, why spend 800 on a “new” TCM when you can go brand new with a warranty and has upgrades etc for a few dollars...

The steel lines have some very light surface rust I’ve temporarily killed so i feel good there. The hydraulic lines have been 1/4 replaced prior to my ownership, the others are looking a little worn but appear to be stable. Hydraulic seals are dry and not weeping but we’ll see how long that...

1) Just to clarify, did the truck run at all without the canister filter present on frame rail? If yes, pull the fuel line from lift pump circled in red, first picture. Look inside the pump, it should have a stainless screen in it, and you may have some trash in it that needs cleaned out. After...
