I'm collecting WVO in any case....takes about 200 gallons for a round trip.

"A little sidetracked" may be the understatement of the day. :-) At the moment, it's a toss-up between the 8x8 and the 6x6 for a trip South next year.

Pay attention to the air restriction indicator by the steering wheel, it's actually a calibrated instrument and will show the amount of vacuum that exists within the filter canister. Full red indication is 20 to 30 inches of water, I believe.

Re: RE: Greeting from Denmark :-) Armor is not very practical, many of us like road trips.....

Why not add a pressure washer too, after a mud bath, the trucks may need a cleaning before hitting the road.....

Originally, a 2-amp fuse was called out....Connie knows what she's talking about.

Welcome to the site! The spelling problem must only apply to Danish. :-)

You may have an intermittent short in the wiring after all, if it was the pump motor, the fuse would likely blow after a few minutes. Check the connector housing and the wiring on the pump assembly, yes, you will have to pull the unit from the tank. While you are at it, go over all the wiring to...

:D

That's why the contacts are critical in a relay or switch when switching thermocouple signals. They need to be silver or gold plated.

....491 is service parking light, 460 left front turn and 461 is right front turn signal.....

Yeah Andy, I'm gaining a lot of confidence by working one system at a time and there are many more to go. Fortunately, I should say, not sure what I would do without this "hobby" at this time.... Oh, and I want to thank Wayne Harris again for the 3-point sling, a parting gift on one of my...

I'm very much in favor of using 24 v to 12 v regulators, but for this light a load, simply run a wire from your grounded battery (with proper fuse/switching means of course).

To conclude this thread, the cab was lifted back in place today. Still have a zillion connections to make and hopefully the engine will run now with the hydraulic head fixed.

To make sure that the fuel pressure will not cause the flame heater nozzle to leak when the pump isn't turned on, I added a solenoid valve in the line....

RE: Re: Road Trip TX -> North, SEPT 29 - OCT 14 Joplin area of MO must have a curse on MV travelers, that's where I broke down last year, fortunately Jason lives nearby and you'll be in good hands. Keep your sense of humor Patrick, appreciate the posts.

Chris, that's the working principle of the Racor "Crankvent" filter I have. It's mounted high to permit fording without worry (see separate thread). You could even let it drain back into the crankcase....fumes are recycled via air intake.

Found a note regarding inner tubes in the cold weather kit section of my 8x8 dash 20 TM. The tires on these trucks are "tubeless" radials and inner tubes are not mentioned anywhere else in any of the manuals (at least I haven't found any reference to them yet), so why would they be used for...

When all else fails, go to steelsoldiers.com forum. :-)

RE: Make your own? Clinto, I'll get some more pictures later today that may explain it better. The fuel tank vent also goes into the plumbing....
