Welcome and hello from Keyser, WV (also in the eastern panhandle). I had three deuces and am now down to one (kept the one with the LDS engine). I didn't even try to sell them-people knew I had them and came calling. My work has been taking up a LOT of my time so I let two of them go. The...

The pumps are pretty simple. I had two that weren't working. Took them apart and cleaned them up good with carb cleaner to get all the gunk and varnish out. Now they work great. Just remember how they come apart and put them back together the same way-not much to go bad with them except...

I'm about 80 miles northwest of Winchester right along Rt. 50 if you need a place to store the truck for a while or work on it. Have most tools and equipment you'd need but would have to keep the two deuces in the field beside the house company as my plan to build a large shop/building hasn't...

Anyone know where to get the fuel pump filters?

John, Just recently replaced both rear main leaf springs on my m1028 with springs from General Spring. Evidently Chevrolet had some problems with springs in the 1980's. The springs I got were made in Mexico but seem to be of good quality-time will tell. BTY, you might want to think...

The m1028 I have had Cooper tires on it when I got it. The tread seperated on two of them, the second one at 50 mph. When it came apart, it hit the passenger's side tail pipe forcing it up into the bed side and leaving a nice dent. My dad works for the railroad and they took all their smaller...

My generator was charging at about the same voltage and I was a little concerned until an SS member pointed out that the max charging rate is about 6.5 amps which is like using a 6A charger-it takes a little while to fully charge. In fact, I ran it today for about and hour and a half and the...

woodmann, Yes, I took off all the "fittings" that thread into the tank and cleaned them seperately and put a plug in the drain valve opening.

woodmann, Mine had the "white pastey gack" also. I had to use a toothbrush and gasoline to get it all-gasoline didn't dissolve it by itself. Other members can correct me if I'm wrong but I think it is some kind of bacteria or its byproduct that grows in diesel fuel. My hands aren't too...

I just recently went through this same problem. My mep-003a tank was full of rusty krud and the cap (vented) was rusted pretty bad on the inside. I cleaned the tank out as best as I could just scooping the gunk out by hand. I removed the fuel gauge, pick up tube, aux fuel shut off sensor...

Thanks for the reply. I "knew" from reading the TM's that the max charging rate was 6-6.5A but it didn't register until Carl made the correlation to charging a battery with a 6A charger. As you noted, this is not like a vehicle charging system as the set doesn't have the DC loads that a...

Are the pumps new or used? If they are new, I would be interested in a couple. I have two pumps that I'm going to try and clean up and get operating so your success gives me hope.

Here's some more.

If this works, thanks to glcaines (I must not have waited long enough the first time). Also, to Carl_in_NH, I only disconnected the batteries for a second to check the voltage so hopefully no damage was done.

Thanks for the replies. I remember reading in the TM's about max output 6A or so but didn't think about it in terms of a 6A charger as Carl_in_NH points out. Now, can anyone help with the downloading pictures problem?

I finally got around to getting the generator off the laundry trailer I bought about a year ago and got it running. I did a lot of searching on here and reviewing the TM's which saved me a lot of headaches. Like I said, the generator had been sitting here for a year or so and who knows how long...

Stalwart, Did the eBay rope work OK for you? Also, the ad states that it is solid core and not hollow.

Look on eBay under "rubber rope tie down". 150' for $28.95 + &10.45 S&H. Plus it's made in the USA.

I would be interested in the small door on the tailgate if you have it.

My fault. My brain must be out to lunch. You're right, he must be talking about the transmission oil cooler lines. Sorry for the confusion.
