So Ronmar, had a little time for truck maintenance and removed the filter/separator on the primer. I had a 1/16" x 1" twig lodged in the flapper.! can't make it up. Used an O-ring pick and removed it. She primes as designed!!

Annual oil change... probably less than 500 miles annually, but haul a load of water every other week...

Yea! I think he was putting 12v relays in a 24v socket or something.... I think he kept putting 12v relays in a 24v socket and was blowing them or something like that. Almost had frostbite... it was crazy!

I watched this guy's video. He drove from Arizona to Alaska in an LMTV. It was entertaining and remarkable he made it. From breaking down to being towed in the middle of nowhere on a flatbed ($$$$).... I couldn't do it... Wow, it won't let me add the link. Search Captain Manus. I think there...

Well, it's been a while. My dreams of making a crazy camper out of my truck changed. Living in the desert, we haul water. Our water company that delivers went out of business and guess what I did. The tank is 1350 gallons with a 225 GPM pump. Fills my holding tank in no time. The standpipe where...

It's been a minute.... AZ has had a brutal summer, and I was forced to switch gears and come up with a plan for shade. Local concrete is $8 a Sq. Ft. Uh, nope...dirt it is... Hopefully back to the truck!!

Thank you!!

Can you post all the part numbers when you do the change? Gaskets and all? I am getting close to doing this as well...

This chart applies to 3116/3126 engines. I want to do the pump also as I am at the lower end of acceptable. When I visited the dealer, I was informed of a pump update for the 3116. Evidentially it went from a gear type to a gerotor type pump. The REMAN was $750 and the new pump was $1800 or so...

For those who have installed these, did you just install and go, or verify/adjust the wheel bearings then install? And can you properly adjust the wheel bearing with the tire installed? Just curious...

WOW.... a 2023 up for auction in AZ.....hmmm.....

I need to stop by and see this! I'm in Sahuarita....

The one I used, pictured above, fit perfect and came with everything. EXCEPT it is 12v. I didn't have time to order and wait for a 24v unit. Yes, the original one has an electrical wire to. I always assumed it was for a heater but could be wrong. I could have even used the original mounting...

good to know. I am going to call them and maybe ill just send mine in for a rebuild. While I know I can do it, I have 62 thousand other things i'm doing and my time is running short...

So, I was washing off all the diesel on the side of the engine and found this plate on the air compressor leaking quite a bit of air. I am also getting some engine oil around the vent of my brand-new air dryer. So, I guess it's rebuild time. Actually, I think I am just going to buy a reman unit...
