Good Job! warm oil will definitly filter and flow better. You can buy a barrel heating band. Or, weld a bung in the side, and put a water heater element in it, just either put the pickup tube high enough that it leaves oil over the element at all times, or a float switch to shut it off before it...

Shipping via rail IS way cheaper. Remember, one boxcar holds about 3 trucks worth of freight. The reason it seems so expensive is because you pay to move one car- if you fill the car with parts and such until you can barely close the door, the price seems reasonable, because of how many...

I have been told, I haven't seen though, that the hatch on my m967 5k tanker is the same as on a m149. Not sure how true it is, but I hope if someone takes the time to measure their m149 I will know. I could measure my tanker and you can see if the hole is the same. I know I can fit in it...

If a water in the filter light is on, you should NOT drive the vehicle until the problem is correct- severe damage can result. Either there is water in the fuel, the filter is clogged, or the sensor is bad. A diesel does not like water.

Definitly air in the lines. A wrecker has two tanks, like a m818. There are tons of hoses under the cab for the tank selector. EMD567 was having the same issue- fuel lines looked great- but once he changed them we could bend it and see the line was full of crakcs that went all the way through...

Depends on how viscous the WVO is. I used to do fuel testing in the Navy, I have the equipment. Here's a way to do it- Get the finest mesh strainer you can get from a paint store. Or, you can use coffee filters, you just have to be quick with the stopwatch, as you will only get a cup or two...

I just filter the WVO and blend it with some diesel- 183,000 miles on my '04 dodge 2500.

My Deuce, is the most reliable. Because I maintain it. :)

Oh yeah? well I'd ditch the truck and restore the crane! lol John, we could put it to work at the museum if it was in decent shape.

I have two spare roof jacks- I need all the canvas roof side poles if anyone has any extras. I can't wait to start working on mine.

Cabell, I doubt my MKT will be ready by then, so if you could bring it that would be great. I'm busy working on Angie's m37, so it will hopefully be ready to bring. I'll work up a menu soon, unless Cabell wants to handle it this year.

Dang it, open valves were what I was going to suggest! always a week late and 10 grand short...

Here you go USAFSS- I would be great in this situation- it would combine my steam experiance, railroad experiance, and my Navy experiance!

Right, it uses full boiler pressure to start- then after your rolling the timing is cut back, allowing the steam to do what it does best- expand. I've never driven a steam car but I've run traction engines and have 2600hrs behind the throttle of various steam locomotives- plus many hours on...

Uh, How soon you guys forget! I've been talking and planning this for years! I've got most of the parts suppliers lined up, and some CAD drawings. When I have about 10k laying around that I need to spend, I will finally build it. I spent most of a 6 month deployment on a ship scheming...

Do any of us have a *need* for a deuce? more like an excuse for one... "I haul firewood, I have a farm, I drive in parades, etc,etc

A3 powerplant and transmission combo will make the truck slower than the multi.

I hope that you find the engine fires right up- and you just need a 'new' transmission. Please keep us posted. I just PMed you my cell- that way you can call out there if you get a question right away or need to to know about something then, not when you get back to a computer. I know how it...

Don't hold your breath. GL pulls stuff all the time, or I guess I should say DLA pulls stuff too.

Not to be mean, but why crank any engine in any piece of equipment with a clutch, WITHOUT depressing the clutch? Anyway, please let us know what you find. I wonder why there was so much smoke and a rubber smell then if the belts look ok? Could it have been the clutch smoking instead? Clutch...
