    Multifuel in tank pump problem

    So what I found is that the fuel pump had died and popped the fuse. I installed a new fuel pump I bought from Eastern Surplus. Measured that I had 24v at the pump housing but the fuel pump still wouldn't pump. With the fuel pump plugged in, the voltage drops to 0. I found the factory...

    M54A2 Identifying numbers?

    Where can I find the identification numbers on my M54A2. I have struggled to find them The dash plate is not the original, I know it's not a 89 like the title says. That was just the year it was overhauled. Are there identifying numbers anywhere else on the frame or anywhere?

    Radiator won't take fluid

    So, turns out the cooling system on this truck had been neglected by the previous owners. The radiator shop told me they vatted and flushed the radiator 3 times and it was still 70% plugged. So they rodded it and repairing a little tiny hole in a tube and now it took all the coolant just fine.

    M54A2 Fuel Filter part#?

    I've looked thru the spreadsheet but not sure if the fuel filter listed is correct for a M54A2 as it doesn't specify. I need to replace my filter and check my fuel pump, as the 15A fuse in the pump cover was blown. If anyone knows it would be greatly appreciated.

    Interesting. Probably wouldn't work on cold mornings as it takes a few seconds more of cranking to cold fire.
