Most of us here own trucks that are 30+ years old, and many times a seemingly simple issue is an indicator of either a larger issue or a multitude of issues. Most of our trucks/vehicles aren’t less than 10 years old & sent to a large maintenance shop with only 1 issue to be resolved; nor are we...

There it is for the second time. Not going to waste time/energy arguing about it, just going back to lurking & let the experts handle these issues. I’ve already explained why I do it, but I’m obviously crazy. So, OP, go ahead and fill those filters full of fuel and crank away on the starter...

For DD 8V92 If your fuel tank has a vented cap near where your fuel suction & return lines enter tank, replace it with either a threaded air line adapter or quick disconnect (I use female quick disconnects, so fuel doesn’t shoot up & out of fitting when removing air line). Using compressed...

WOW even the tires look great! Congrats! Maybe try some Seafoam & 2-stroke oil in the fuel to smooth out injectors? Works for me…

My replies are in yellow text below each pic. G744 is correct about the fuel filters; when is the last time you’ve changed them? Your videos still indicate to me that the engine isn’t getting fueled, and the little bit of white smoke is probably from the residual fuel residing in the fuel...

If none of that works, then it’s worth checking the blower drive shaft (quill shaft), accessible by removing cover plate on gear drive at back of engine. There’s a circular retaining ring (internal snap ring) that can be removed with needle-nose pliers in order to pull out drive shaft, just be...

That little amount of smoke I saw is very light for that engine…it should be billowing a pretty thick cloud of unburned fuel. Check for the blower intake flapper; if you’re only seeing pipe plugs in the blower intake neck and no linkages sticking out, then there’s no shutoff flapper (none of...

Too cool!!

Thank you for taking the time to look into this & post a definitive answer!

Best wishes for your successful recovery! Don’t neglect your physical therapy either, the warnings given by other members here are first-hand experiences that shouldn’t be taken lightly. While you’re recovering, start looking into mechanical means for lifting/moving heavy parts, such as...

If you’re just running your truck occasionally and not for your livelihood, and your engine is in good shape, a little added WMO probably won’t hurt it in your time of owning it….like 5-10% to your tank of diesel, it will help with lubricating the fuel system. However, even these small amounts...

The acids in the used oil will be problematic from my experience FWIW…increased wear & coked up injectors over time.

My neighbor has a McCormick-Deering Farmall tractor that is set up that way. It’s pretty cool.

Saw that on ARFcom yesterday…it was mentioned that memberships are available for some commercial charging stations that would offer discounts and whatnot to lower the cost when on the road. It was also mentioned that a company was contracted to build up to 85K EV charging stations across the US...

AWESOME! Will be watching progress with great interest.

Truck looks GREAT! Really enjoyed the pic with the SxS in the bed, beats hauling it on a trailer! Nice work, thanks for sharing!!

I have found @98G ’s explanation of the Power Of No to be applicable more often than not.

Nice to have another former M60 tanker on board! Welcome!

If you don’t cuss at it, it won’t think you’re serious and won’t cooperate….

A nice M109A3 will be auctioned next, once the county gets the title from the state.
