I’d love to see it. I’m working out ideas for when the time comes but just trying to get the kinks worked out in the vehicle itself before I start down that road.
We’ll see what capabilities they have (I’m Air Force not Army). Flightline vehicle maintenance has some big machines though and I work in a hangar right across the street. May have to strike a deal or two but I’m pretty good at sweet talkin’.
Thanks for the tip, I’d like to check with vehicle maintenance on base first though. I’m active duty so hoping they’ll be willing to hook me up with a scan.
So I know the drain valve was operational at least when I was working on it at the auction yard. That was essentially how I got it to start running consistently as I started to pump and at first frothy fuel was flowing out of the drain hose which then transitioned to normal fuel. Before I did...
Well troubleshooting continues…
I went to drive the truck to the gas station a few miles up the road (CEL still on) and it was obviously in a derated limp mode, could barely get out of its own way but would get somewhat up to speed and shifted normally. Pulled up to the pump and it died idling...
Alright well I’ve had a little time to look a lot of things over and found a few of the normal issues but overall, I think I got a pretty solid truck. Truck has no problem building air pressure and CTIS is working as it should (read somewhere a transducer could be changed to adjust pressure...
Well I worked on it just about all day to get it running without dying, bled the fuel system several times and drained a bunch of water out of the filter, replaced a u-joint that had been removed, caged and dislodged two frozen brakes and got out of there about 15 min before the yard closed...
Ok thanks, I replied there. I remember it being in a sig of a user but Im actually picking up the truck today (or trying to) and signatures don’t appear on my phone apparently.
Would anyone here be able to PM me the spreadsheet? I have it on my computer I think but actually picking up a truck today and want to reference. Apologize if it’s in someone’s sig like a comment says but they don’t seem to appear on my phone.
I remember seeing a spreadsheet of common parts and oil weights etc on here but can’t seem to find it anymore. Does anyone have that link? I think I pulled it from someone’s signature.
Ok well the plan is to head out on Monday and evaluate/hopefully get this thing on the road. I’m taking a truck full of tools/welder/compressor everything I can think of to try and nurse the truck home. Curious if anyone in MD or VA would be willing or knows someone who might be willing to lend...
