    Weird Fuel pressure issue…

    I put about 15miles on the truck today going into town and back for fuel. Ran great! One happy MV owner as of now!

    Weird Fuel pressure issue…

    Yeah my Airtex was pulling through a “custom” pickup screen, very open and non restrictive. If the product was changed like the spec sheet I have found, this is definitely an issue. The “older” e8131’s wouldn’t be an issue like must threads out there if they did in fact flow upwards of 35GPH...

    Weird Fuel pressure issue…

    Took the truck on about a 5mile crusie and then another 20 or so minutes driving around our property. Roughly 25 degrees outside and not even a hiccup. As of now, I’m calling it FIXED!

    Availability of Zerostart 3500025 frost plug block heater

    That looks like a good unit also, especially since removing freeze plugs isn’t for everyone. Thanks for sharing!

    Weird Fuel pressure issue…

    I’m questioning going out to the garage to fire up the truck tonight, not because I don’t think it’ll start, it’s because it’s only -1 outside at only 7:36pm, AND my truck did NOT come with a heater when I bought it HAHA.(Which reminds me, I need to find a cheap one lol)

    Weird Fuel pressure issue…

    I removed the original dead pump initially when installed my in line pump, so it has been out for awhile. I had made a custom fuel pick up inside the tank, all that is still good. I updated an old post, but here it is again… Here is my current fuel setup… Tank -> pick up tube -> wix...

    Weird Fuel pressure issue…

    Here’s a summary… I’ll begin by saying my truck was stalling about every 1mins-4mins. I noticed on my secondary fuel pressure gauge that I was losing fuel pressure causing it to stall. To me the truck was starving for fuel. I had changed filters a handful of times with no luck. I decided to...

    40K are you kidding me??

    With the latest publicity and internet fame of MV’s from the guys at Diesel Brothers and all their recovery videos, it’s no wonder everyone now wants one and prices are going up! Check out Heavy D and all his MV toys!

    Weird Fuel pressure issue…

    As of last night it was running great, even at 10 degrees outside haha By the time I let it warm up, then cruising around our farm field’s, to taking it around the block, it was a solid 35-40mins of run time, never once a hiccup. The longest it would ever run good before, was about 1-4 mins then...

    Fitting size?

    Sorry I must be misunderstanding, I want to remove the original fitting and copper all together. Then replace with a fitting that adapts from that 1/2” thread to 1/2” compression so I can connect my brand new plastic lines I appreciate the info, I’ll hunt down what I need from there

    Fitting size?

    Does anyone know off the top of their head what size and pitch, or what the fitting is that’s on the fuel outlet on top of the tank? It’s a flare fitting originally, but I’m at work and can’t actually size the female side. I’d like to find a fitting to screw into it other than the original...

    Stripped pto gear in spicer 3053 again! Now what

    Dang it robs 50hp from a 135hp engine, yikes! Lol must be a beast! I assume the proper shims have been used to ensure correct mesh

    Weird Fuel pressure issue…

    I am now thinking the pump may be the issue. I have found two sources for info on the Airtex E8131. A 2016 publication on their site states 10-14 psi and 35GPH. Now their site with an updated 2022 publication states 9-14psi and 20GPH. hmmm. I have a new Carter pump coming to try out. 6-8psi...
