    Okay stupid me, the transfer pump is your fuel pump, driven by your cam shaft, to test it you have to undo the hose going to the water separator and crank for 30 sec. with the fuel shut off pulled. and you should have ATLEAST 150ml of fuel if it is less than that you have to replace you pump, or...

    Has anybody added a fuel booster pump to their a2? I know the 250's are relatively easy starters in winter but at 60* my truck is having a heck of a time starting. I cant help but think if their was a pump to build fuel pressure it would help enormously especially starting deuces with and...

    Whelp, my addiction couldn't have been eased this past week, so I did lots work on the truck, Changed fuel filters, replaced fuel line fittings that the military generously stripped out for me! And last but not least worked on disabling my CTIS. Fabbing up caps for the front axle, Pics soon...

    Have you ever answered 2 questions while looking at one problem, well I'm special today I got 3 questions answered! 1. Why did my CTIS stop working? 2. Why were my tires unbalanced, seeing as the rears don't need counter weights? 3. What did the military do with my front wheel counter weight?

    Truck si being turned into an A1, CTIS got the 5 stars of death, and I promised myself the first hiccup that I would disable it. Yesterday I unplugged the controller and to day am taking of a front and rear valve to fab up plugs. Pictures to come!

    You know what Karl so do I, how does Thurs. the 19th sound for a reschedule pick up? I'm debating on getting some metal ones from Glen or fabbing my own bows! In the mean time I have to figure out how to get my front right drive tire fixed, and my spare rim doesn't look to promising either!

    I'm spraying it with a cheapo air gun from harbor freight. I initially thought over-spray would make it look like garbage, but in fact it when up close it has a soft transfer of colors in a about 3 in. where a paint brish or roller would give you sharp crisp lines. Edit: Though I should add I...
