primarily regarding the secondaries.......
Re: the question a couple posts above.......The secondaries sit high up on the engine and the bleeders are on top of them, so appears you would need pressure to get fuel out of there, not a gravity situation. Check out some engine pics on deuces for...
sliding fuel pump/pick-up thingy
Like Mike mentioned, the unit in the tank is able to be slid up and down
so depth of the unit, as it sits in the tank, may be changed. Any owner may want to check how far from the bottom of the tank, your fuel pick-up/pump thing is set at currently.
again with the capital letters in post........
As Mr. capital letters somewhat relayed...the MVCC meets the first Friday of every month at Dino Diesel in Sedalia, CO. Please look thru the site for relevant info...

I was always fascinated by these unique trucks and have been a truck nut since...
the trucks had regular maintenance while used
I am very happy with my 1971, it came out of depot rebuild at Tooele in 1987.
I am waiting on EUC to come thru so I can pick up a 1987 I won. Got it because it has a winch, wish I could hold onto the 1971, it was with the NE National Guard until...

from the posts above, sounds like you guys should start a club and/or have a website so all y'all can communicate on stuff going on in your region and coordinate on that stuff. just my two cents.

suburbanite
Back in 2007, I had a stock 3/4 ton 4x4 Chevy Suburban with B F Goodrich All Terrain tires on it, that sucka did great in deep snow, I was pulling full size pickups out of deep drifts. Ya cant fix stupid.
I got rid of it b/c it got 11 mpg all the time.
I read everyday on this...
training
3 or 4 weeks ago, an apache or blackhawk crashed in a clearing in the forest up in the mountains at about 10,000 ft. , just west of town here. Two crewmembers were taken to the hospital and got out a few days later, the helicopter looked totaled. In the local news, the spokes people...
Thats cool, what elevation is the lake at?
We have a unit from NY out here practicing
handling characteristics in the mountains with their apaches and chinooks
before they head to afghanistan.
party pooper
I'm not trying to rain on anybody's parade or anything but dont ya think
Caterpillar, Cummins, Waukesha, Perkins, or other longtime diesel manufacturers that are still producing today, have kinda figured out the best combustion stuff? They must spend hundreds of thousands of hours...
I store mine in the backyard of a 4x4 shop, across the street from
my apartment complex. The local Marine Corp League pays my lot
rent since I haul them in parades and assist them with having
the truck on display at events where they have their booth set up.
The 4x4 shop is also happy to let...
patience
Just within the last 4 months I saw a really nice 816 sell on GL, in Utah, I think at their location near Salt Lake City, for around $10,000. They are out there.
Nice truck
Wow what a nice truck and nice interior.
I think I am going to move my extinguisher from under the seat to where you have it, for better access and looks cool for display. I would never muffle mine. I gave a friends kid a ride in mine on Monday and she said, Why would the Army...
good point
Very good point. Makes ya wonder about things. I wonder how soon after the sale, the guv-mint gets their money for the sold item, from the auctioneer? hmmmm.....
clean green iron
Old Style is good stuff too, also check out Schaffer if one is on a budget. My truck gets sprayed off a lot at the carwash up the block, even use the
Spot Free Rinse mode. Mine is just used for parades and displays.
