Or is this as simple as taking the HH off the truck again completely, clamp the new fitting in a vise and turn the hydraulic head onto it with the power of Thor?

It appears to be leaking from around the NPT threads (threaded into the HH body). Yes, I used the brass insert in the line in the compression fitting. Both the insert that goes inside the tube and the brass sleeve. The closest thing I've been able to find is 50385K32 from McMaster-Carr...

So I took the hydraulic head off an M35a2 I got at auction awhile back. HH was stuck, so I took it apart and cleaned it. The fuel inlet fitting was in there so tight, I deformed it getting it off... The only thing I could find to replace it was a 45 degree 1/4 male NPT to 1/4 female NPT...

Thanks man, I'll post pics when I get it installed. Much appreciated!

It's going to be hard to return my truck to stock condition... it doesn't have a stock primary fuel filter base/housing. They left the secondary and final fuel filters alone.

So I got a forest service deuce and a half where they had removed the primary fuel filter and housing altogether. In it's place are fittings to bridge the gap between the hard copper fuel lines. I looked at Jatonka's primary fuel filter spin on adapter but it looks like it requires the stock...

Awesome. Pretend (not difficult) that I'm a wee slow. :D Where do I stick the pointy metal probes? Reading a little further, I saw here https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?79389-M923A1-Abs-Light/page3 where 2B is reported to be passenger side, rearmost axle. Tracing where the...

Well, I got my info center. Plugged it in and first fault is an S2B 04. Which translates as "2B Sensor/wiring open or short circuit." The manual lists possible causes as: Sensor failures, sensor wiring open or short circuit. Sensor resistance should be 980 to 2350 ohms. Verify wire ties...

well, it's definitely 12-24. I made it work. Turned screw in a half a turn with resistance, backed it out, checked threads, rinsed and repeat. Got it all the way in with no cross threading. Threads look a little shiny but otherwise not really deformed. I think it must have been just a...

I dropped one of the door latch screws (one of the three on the inside of the cab arrayed around the inside door handle) in the grass while reinstalling the mechanism on my 923a2 the other day. Cannot for the life of me find it. Measuring one of the identical screws, it appears to measure...

Alot, but a single reasonably fit person can handle a medium. I've used mine a few times to tow deuces with deuces and 5 tons.

Not to dig this grave up too much, but I went ahead and soldered in a new diode on my ECU and put it back on the truck. I actually desoldered the old diode and pulled it out of the board completely and soldered a new one in. I'm guessing I got the polarity on the diode right. I get the the...

Ran it for diesel mechanic friend. He said he thinks it might be a stuck valve. That cyclical noise is puffs of air coming out of the intake. Which I guess makes sense if it's a stuck intake valve? His recommendation was to pull the valve cover. So when he's back here next time, we'll give...

Yep, air filter is in the canister.

I've got an infrared kitchen thermometer. Will idle it and check exhaust manifold for each cylinder. Question... am I running the risk of damaging the engine idling it for this kind of test?

Thanks. What do you think of the possibility of stuck injector? I hadn't run it in a few months, which was what caused this whole thing. Would a couple of bottles of seafoam in the tank be advisable?

Or is that maybe just the air compressor running and I'm freaking out over nothing?

So I went to fire up my whistler deuce yesterday and engine tried to run away. Put it in 5th and dumped clutch. I panicked for a second because it was such a surprise and the fuel cutoff didn't do anything so it took me a second to engage my brain and put it in 5th and dump the clutch. Truck...

Yep, that's a good plan I can get behind. Got an in tank pump, primary and secondary fuel filters, and HH o-rings (just in case) on the way. Hopefully fuel filter change and tank pump replacement will fix it.

In tank pump was dead. Well, fuse was blown and they had wrapped the fuse in foil. Voltage is getting to the fuse terminal. So the pump may or may not be dead, but it wasn't operating when I was trying to start the truck. Reading the lds-465-1a troubleshooter, they do mention that it...
