    T Thank you for pointing me in the right direction! I need to do more research, as I did not get things working today.

    I have a free day to work on the truck and was hoping to get my winch in working order. A long time ago, I thought I came across the TM for the winch, but now I cannot find it. Anyone have a quick link to it? Thank you.

    Got the batteries charged up and gave ‘er an engine run yesterday. I got another surprise, my windshield wiper motor worked! It hadn’t worked until yesterday. Really need to source some bows etc and try out my canopy I bought a year ago!

    The truck is still doing good! Halloween was our last outing with it though. I tucked it in my barn for the winter; I just don't want to work in those cold temperatures. I did crank it up one freezing day, just to see if it would start, and no problem. But your question gave me motivation to...

    I’m loving the truck! Still working on it, but since it’s Iowa winter and I’ve been busy flying it has been put in the barn for hibernation. Need to work on cleaning the cab, the heater, and some grounds/gauges. Also doing some fiberglass work on the hard top I have and will probably swap the...

    I’ve never seen the troop seats fit. Would they still fit over that tank support in the rear or would I have to cut it out?

    Sorry didn’t hit reply but responded above. It will be handy on my acreage where there are no hydrants for miles. A lot of our county is rural and we truck water into fires with tankers.

    The truck came from the volunteer department that I am on. It hadn’t been used for years, and after the flood they wanted nothing to do with it. So I got it, with the tank, and hose reel, and (broken) water pump. The tank isn’t baffled, and I’m not sure on its capacity. I’m going to lift it out...

    Eventually I want to repaint it. Not sure if I want to go traditional, tan, or black.

    So, I got this truck for $2,005.69. I have to say, I think I got a steal. Was able to run it in my small town homecoming parade last Friday. Plenty of work to do still, but I’m happy. And I couldn’t have done it without all of your help, so thank you!

    Well, I cleaned the check valve and truck ran A LOT better. Was cleaning it again today and to my surprise, found a paper towel shoved down the pickup tube. I suppose my fuel problem may be solved!

    Thanks for the tip on the check valve. Probably a dumb question but how do I know if the torque converter locks up when it shifts to 4th?

    I need some help. Good news is that the transmission seems to be working great on the Dex3. Shifts smoothly up and down, reverse. If I melt it, I guess so be it, cross that bridge later. Problem: under high demand, I lose power. In 3rd for 20+ seconds or up into 4th trying to max speed, just...
