    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    I can bet more rods have been snapped off / busted... if the story was told. Hacksaw blade sounds like it would be in the way. LOL Always grease your rod first, CAMO

    Best Way to Power 12V Ham Radio Box

    I am going to ask this question... Cuz I want to understand the need for converting down to 12 Volts when dual voltage alternator rigs can handle an extra couple of amps say 5-6 and a peak current of 25 amps for the back and forth time one would only be transmitting. It's a two-way thing...

    Best Way to Power 12V Ham Radio Box

    I am re-posting my PM to help add to the confusion or help others understand. (y) Many way to go about it :unsure: 💡 Your M1123 with a dual output alternator with the 14 volt balancing tap connected correctly and quality batteries is the easiest, most reliable, cost effective. IMO That...

    Getting to it... CAMO tip of the day

    The mist / sprayers do work... But with the HARD water here if it get on the glass one is going to need a needle scalier to get it off. Cool beers work better, CAMO

    Injector Pump Question

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Peeking over your shoulder... :unsure: Parked for a couple of month ? Older fuel ? Will not start now. IMO :unsure: this can be something to consider. The bio-mixed diesel with 5-25% crap, low sulfur, lubricants and any water (there is some water ) to...

    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    Good luck on your fuel problem. Working one here too. On a slightly different note, another GOOD LUCK finding a quality USA pump. Even AC Delco made in Korea. One had a cheap ass crimp ring that came off the lever arm end... and that ruined the day. Lasted about 3 month. Good on the...

    HumV not the easiest to get at the engine. parts... top side working an IP swap today. So old tired bones 👴here... twisted up in a ball, hanging off of 37 inch tires, is not the least bit fun. I know there are special supports ladder systems... BUT But but the few times I need to do the heavy...

    No sound when shifting?

    They can shift smooth as silk. No clunk or whip lash between gears. If everything working nice a strong . Down shift (passing WOT) can be noticed and then a hard shift lock-up is noticed. You'll be rocking and moving out at 42.36 MPH on to sub sonic 57.2 MPH maybe more down hill. 🏎 🚀 Bet YA...

    M1097 (1986) not charging.

    That's a Prestolite that has been resting next to the Titanic for the last 30 years. Time for an up grade to something a bit more reliable. I have a name in mind, CAMO

    LED replacement no flashing

    This is likely going to be the fix for a thermal type flasher or even a solid state requiring a load. Resistors kits are sold (auto parts stores) to do just that when switching over to LED's. More Thinking :unsure: One might be able to place one resistor at the flasher output lead, taking care...

    Strange Crank No Start Condition

    BINGO !! What did it win? Not another toaster lol. Sleep or study up on the DB2 metering valve. It's a little fuel control valve down in the bottom center rear (from front of truck) of the reservoir that needs to move freely. Looks like a little wing flipper thingie with linkage. If sticky /...

    Strange Crank No Start Condition

    Wasn't clear to me in the bingo story. (not assuming anything) Did you ground the cover to the housing? It is very possible the solenoid coil has open up, and it is one of the tests the boys pointed to here. Sometimes one just as to sleep on it. 🛏 SO... do you really have a BINGO or was it a...
