    LDS Hydraulic Pump Powering a Hmmwv Hydraulic Winch

    I just read all this for the first time. In your first post you stated that the pump inlet was 3/4 and it was supplied with 1/2 hose. In your last mod. you also increased the supply hose to 3/4. This solved your starvation problem not the relocation.

    Deuce trip n/e KS to FL Orlando.

    System will usually self bleed. Turn the power switch to on and the elect. in tank pump (if pump is working should be able to hear it at fuel tank) should handle it. The line that failed what was it for or where did it go from to. Good luck and remember getting there is half the fun.

    Low engine oil no engine knocking but a wobbling rubbing sound at high RPM?

    How low was the oil? My first thought from the sounds you describe was the throw-out bearing.

    Crushed Fuel Line?

    I believe it could be duplicated with standard hardware store items. What about replacing with a rubber hose, the kink is kinda common prob.?

    M818 keeps cutting off..... knocking bad.

    If you changed the lines and didn't bleed the system you have air in the lines. The fuel tank can be pressurized thus forcing fuel through the lines. Start at the tank working toward the engine bleeding air and checking for leaks. If you'll do a search on this topic you will find more indepth info.

    Ross HF54 Power Steering in my Deuce

    Nice work and description. This past spring I did this to a M37 using parts from Snake River 4x4. Very similar process. Not having a good option for the horn and not wanting a button on the dash I improvised. I ran the wire inside the column as orginal and then let it exit at the u-joint...
