I’ve had failures on just about anything I’ve owned. Weather it be my work boots, my 2019 Chevy, or a dozer at work.
At this point in time all you can do is be thankful there was no loss of life. Fix it and keep on keep’n on.
IF it would happen again, then I would be suspect of either the...
Well I installed the AMBAC kit and unfortunately it didn’t help. I’ll check all three valves again. Hard for me to believe that two boost pumps have the same issues, possible, but hard to imagine both are bad.
I used a normal fuel resistant gasket type sealer. I barely even put a film on. I...
Negative. Still lost pressure after a few minutes of running. It would stay running while idling with zero pressure and die with the slightest throttle increase.
Inline pump took about 45secs to regain prime. During this time it took to prime, I also had the bleeder on top of my secondaries...
Got a chance about 15mins ago to put the newly “rebuilt” boost pump on, I used AMBAC kt9062 like mentioned above. I was given two fiber washers in my pack.
Did I get lucky? Or is there another one hiding somewhere?? Haha
Getting ready to fire the truck up in a few minutes.
So last night I pulled apart my original boost pump that I removed from the truck. There was NO fiber washer/gasket inside between the plug and valve, or anywhere for that matter. Im guessing those disintegrate over time? The o-ring on the piston plug was there and intact.
Today is in the upper...

Painesville, OH. Zip Code 44077. Maybe 2hrs from me if that.
It’s been for sale at least a month that I’ve seen. Started at $9500, now asking $8k. I’ll copy and paste below and capture more pictures as screenshots. But it’s a project truck, in my opinion.
There is one of these for sale by me, I REALLY want it for our 20acres, but wife says no…our tractor is good enough haha
I attached a pic of what’s for sale
This is actually why I really do want one. Our house is about 1200’ from the road, it’ll either take a tanker to come back here and hope they have enough water on hand or about 1500’ of hose from the closest hydrant. Our population is only 2,000 people, so people/equipment are limited in our...
If it was truly driven across the country I’d ask what maintenance has been done recently. It may need a lot.
Also, not a bad price, but I’d certainly ask for A LOT more pictures; one isn’t gonna do it for me.
I’d assume it has a good title.
Tires are definitely costly, plan on $2k for worst...
With fuel prices these days, I’d spend a few bucks to filter the fuel both with a small micron filter and a water separator and then add a gallon here or there back in as you fill up. Just my opinion. Might be a little work up front. But 50gals around me is close to $200
Note…I did NOT check my tire pressure(it’s 20 degrees out so they’re probably a little low). Also, my tires have probably 50% tread left( so height/diameter is smaller).
I measured roughly 11-5/8”
