My mechanic and I found a junction point under the truck that has a metal cover over it. We installed an electric fuel pump in-line under that cover. Now when I am waiting for the wait light to go out the electric fuel pump is priming the system. Makes for easy startup.
It sounds almost identical to what happened to my 15KW unit. It ended up it was the check valve on the return line coming from the Injector Pump was clogged. My return line from the IP intersects the return line from the injectors. (they share the same line returning to the fuel tank) There...
The wagon style trailers like M989A1 come to mind when you made your comment. They are beasts as far as weight is concerned. They max out the tow capacity of a M35 without any cargo. As far as handling they are fine in forward motion, but a real pain in reverse due to the steer axle. I know...

I will have 3 of the M1008 trucks available for sale once Jeff brings them down from his place. I will have to go through them and do some repairs so I can sell good running trucks.
