STEAM?!! the Chevron Mississippi was steam, I was a JR. Eng back then, sailed as pumpman, good food but nervewracking loading the first time in Valdez where I had too much list! I worked commo in army but one 2 week ''vacation'' summer camp i fixed a water maker on the big LCT and the warrants...

thanks for all the help and ideas so far folks. On my last visit the owner wasn't there but his son who was heading out to feed found me in the ''yard'' and wondered who i was, what i was doing etc. kinda amusing of course. i took some photos and am now using a new computer and will have to...

ok, i'll get on it

ok, i guess i'm on the way to diagnosing. I'm visiting that truck today to take photos and see why the owner is convinced it's the FO pump. If/when I get it running it looks like i'll be watching the haps under the valve covers closely! stby for pics in a couple days.

haha, I wouldn't try to typify the "black suburban" gang !! I'd guess by the time they get the orders to 'watch' something it's already too late but I have learned that they can act fast if needed. we had a rig with a bft and maybe the ''defeater'' on board that got stolen by the bad guys...

I've decided I'll stick with Steel Soldiers and would like to update my profile declaring myself a Army Retiree and a few such things. Can this be done after already joining and how is that accomplished? Thx, Jim

ok Will, I'm glad you're here! I grew up in a shop and though I've done many things I did finally finish with a chiefs oceans unlimited and I know when to stop, You've convinced me i'll just buy a reconditioned unit to bolt on if steel soldiers has them, I've yet to call them. I never took...

page 29 of the manual looks exactly like the pump on this truck. I failed to view the RH side of that engine, nor take a pic of the data plate in the cab or on the engine. It is likely that I will have insufficient info to order parts and will have to make another visit t Refreshed 1987 Jeep...

thanks for the input here. I am looking for a tm with a diagram of the fuel pump. The most 'popular' one has omitted the injector/fuel pump but another poster included it. I just have not been able to locate it again, i am in particular interested in the sealing means on the drive shaft to...

I"d suppose, since the engine was running fine before it started burbling diesel all over and that the engine was overhauled maybe a dozen years ago AND that it has no injectors, that they'd of seen the stack smoking like crazy which evidently wasn't the case. I'm still inclined to think the...

I was going to go through all the posts but there are 670 or so pages! can someone direct me to posts about DF in the crankcase on a 5 ton with a nhc 250 in it? I can't see how fuel gets past the fuel pump and into the crankcase and am looking for what else to check before delving into it much...

Impressive!!, I'd never expected to even hear of bft after leaving iraq. Can't believe that gear could be had but then that was 14 years ago and that along with the navy stuff i programmed to thwart ied was close held info.
