So I think I found the trick. Took a Bernzomatic torch and heated up the area that holds the gasket. Just decently warm to the touch. Gasket had been laying in the sun. Then I applied o-ring silicone grease to gasket. Sucker slipped right in no sweat. Then I took empty canister and bolted it up...

Man, That's a FACT! Working up the motivation to go outside and start over. I removed the gasket last night. I have extras. My neck and back are already crying in advance. I should have left the old one in. It wasn't leaking at all. Will be doing the conversion, but want to run this unit more...

Yes. With the help of the TM's, I figured that out this morning. What the TM's don't show is the trick to installing a new oil filter canister gasket. Old one was as hard as a brick. Worked on that sucker for an hour and could never get it completely installed. Always would stretch as you go...

Ok I was way over thinking this. All is good and just the panel hz gauge is bad. She’s a runner and produces power like it’s supposed to!!! All voltages and hz at all the locations are where they’re supposed to be. Told you this was my “first “ Extremely happy and she’s running now to get...

What I’m trying to figure out with the TMs, is why my voltage is good but Hz low. I have good 120/240 voltage. Charging system is putting out 25.52 volts. But the hz is 48/49 I know I can increase engine speed to raise the hz but that also raises the voltage. All numbers verified by using a...

Pump filters were removed and cleaned. Thought I mentioned it earlier. All 3 are working great and plenty of flow. I screwed up by not cracking the fuel line inlet at the injection pump. This basically jammed air inside is my guess. Initially had fuel at the injectors then nothing. Removed...

It will definitely look…….”Different”. Your truck Do whatever the heck you want.

Well the easy part is done. Now the hard part is figuring out what supposed to read/do what It was showing 120v at the outlets and 240 on the panel gauge. Hz was 48-49 Increase engine speed to raise HZ and it raised voltage. The glass fuse by the injection pump was blown. Have to get more...

She lives. Bled the IP again and it started right up. Lots of air was still in the IP Weird part was that there was never any smoke when trying to start it. No smoke when it finally started. Not running well. Had it basically at idle. Brought rpm’s up and it’s smoothed out a lot. Hz meter is...

Well I hooked up a set of heavy jumper cables from the CUCV to the 002a Fuel system finally bled and have fuel coming out of IP fittings including up at the injectors. So far no go. She cranks fine and has good oil pressure but so far nothing. Not even smoke. Fuel shutoff solenoid is working and...

I went ahead and drained the oil from the pan and filter canister. Oils cheap (compared to engine) and that oil has been in there for years. Will leave filter on there for now. I will do a complete change after/when she runs. She’s almost ready. Making up a connection cable for in between the...

Installed new Fuel hose from IP to check valve. It’s a Cummins part number and included in the pics if anyone needs one. It’s for a 003A I think but works. Also installed new oil pressure gauge. Original one had water and rust inside. Installed clean fuel tank and is hooked up again. 2 pin...

Already done and surprisingly no water came out. I was fully expecting it. Did both the pan drain and canister drain. Obviously it needs changed now but would prefer to do so when oil is hot. I didn’t buy extra fuel and oil filters since if it runs, I will be doing the spin on adapter...

I rarely go outside of a 50 mile radius with mine. If I break down, help is a phone call away. CB radio will get installed someday. Only off road stuff is typical ranch work. I just carry tire change stuff, chain, hay bale wire and tow strap, bungee cords and first aid kit and my trusty Pow...

Down in Corpus Christi, TX you can drive on the beach. Sure it’s fun and such, but you’re driving in salty sand and occasionally water. The ocean spray leaves a film of salt on everything!!! The car washes there have spray systems you drive over and stop while it washes the underside of your...

I’m ready to hear it run, but I’m not rushing. Don’t want to miss a step anywhere.

Lots of busy work today. Took off the battery cables and cleaned the contacts and added fresh shrink sleeve to the ends. Also removed the fan shroud and exhaust shroud/flaps. Removed more mud dauber nest and blew everything off with the air hose. Used air to blow out the oil cooler. Then used...

Filters arrived today. Cleaned the canister bolts and sealed the top bolt. The “rust stained” filter base turned out to be anodized that color. The copper washers look to be a special shape washer. I didn’t have new ones so I heated them up and annealed them. New canister gaskets were...

Ok good I switched it back and forth a few times but didn’t gorilla handle it. Good to know Will do just that. Thanks
