Seems like everything is good so far, I put the truck to work this morning

Drove it today, so far it's still doing good, I'll update you guys again if it dies down or in a few days if it still has its full power

I hear you on that, at least you know you'll have a reliable truck in that case too lol

I have a BRDM 2 that's exactly like this, random issues comes out of no where from sitting up and then there's so many leaks that I don't know where to start again on it lol

Yep, I took it apart, I didn't see any crazy kind of sludge or dirt in it. I drove the truck for about an hour and its doing perfect so far, I'll take it out again tomorrow and see how it does.

I took the fuel cap off and still the same thing, the fuel filters are coming in today so I will change that and see what happens, the only reason I have doubts that its the filter is because the last time I took it out, the filter and the housing was still clean inside

So I drove it for about 4 hours today and made a few stops at some stores. When I left home, I thought for sure it was fixed, the truck had full power for the first hour I drove it, but it started to get weak again, it wasn't as bad as before but it still got weak enough where I was barely able...

Yep, in the back of the engine

I was able to get it started, I'm going to take it out for a drive tomorrow, I really hope this works. Also, I find this on top of the engine a few days ago, I don't know what it is. I'm almost certain that my issue was that kinked hose, I decided to just blow through it and was barely able to...

Ok so Im back at it again, I bypass the check valve, and started the truck but it die in about 30 seconds, after that, I fill the filter up with diesel and then squirted some in the lines and still no start, I usually do this when I bleed the fuel system and it'll start after cranking for a...

So that hose I mention that had the a kink in it that's under the check valves, you can't tell much in this picture, but it was kinked pretty bad, Im going to get that replaced and the check valves bypassed

Ok so its safe to bypass both of them? I was worried that the feeding check valve would drain fuel back to the tank and make it harder to start.

Ok, tomorrow that's my next job, I just need a 3/8 or 5/16 barb fitting to bypass it right?

Is there a napa number for the check valve?

Hmm, mines was bent, I wonder could that be my issue.

Ok I see them, I notice there's another hose that makes a loop right under it, what is that hose going too?

I didn't remove the check valve, where would that be located? The only reason I didn't consider that is because the truck always start instantly, even after sitting for over a month, the fuel didn't drain back in the tank from the check valve

Yep, did that, the tank doesn't look bad at all but there is a little dirt sitting at the bottom, I manage to get almost all of it out. I also use the power service clear diesel cleaner in the fuel that I drained out, I had the truck as reliable as a buy and drive vehicle, but now it has return...

I drained the tank and then drained it again with 5 gallons of diesel, once my new filters come in, we'll see what happen, unfortunately, its still horribly weak, but I think the paper inside of the filter is probably clogged up so bad that I can't possibly get it clean. My biggest concern is...

Ok so I cleaned the filter and housing and then injected some of the injector cleaner in the housing to prime it easier. For the first 10-15 minutes, the truck was running better than it ever did, I got up to 65Mph easily and it still had juice to go faster, it ended up getting weak about 10-15...
