    Survey...... "oil line of death 3116" (governor oil feed line)

    Yea but you have the Deuce and you know about the end fitting on the injection lines. They spin so when we tighten the lines down it does put a twist / tension on that steel line. We do have the anit vibration clamps put on and the injector lines do pulsate with the high pressure. That Cat line...

    Also I like the nice gentle curve to this line. The one in the video I saw or the flex line the goes parallel to the block has to much bend it it for my liking.

    That is my thought about the tension put on it on install. .02 just replace the old one with new steel or flex and not worry about it for another 30 years.

    Survey...... "oil line of death 3116" (governor oil feed line)

    Yea Frank I was willing to try there line. Not only does the angle of the engine fitting need to be right but the mating edges of the engine fitting and steel line must be parallel. I know bad picture but someone might get the point. If not parallel it could put a strain on the steel line. To me...

    Yea saw the truck reposted in lake Butler. Also sometimes the best trucks are ones that have been bought and gone through by members here. Also you just might be helping out with someone's marriage.

    That engine side fitting is adjustable and correct angle can be had to mate to the steel line correctly. This way the steel line is not being put under a strain to start with. Then maybe under strain and steel line rusting from the out side well yea it is going to fail. Keep paint on it and no...

    Survey...... "oil line of death 3116" (governor oil feed line)

    I decided to go with a kit that was offered with correct type hose / fittings and not worried a bit about it working fine. Also the kit I bought does not will not put a kink in the line because of the fittings. If you feel like it must be the steel line then tighten the governor side tight first...

Yesterday the OP came up and I walked him through the DMV and out of my name. Now just waiting for the shipper to come and trailer it to Miami. Yay truck will be gone but more...

    Fuel Pump Filter

    Post #39 #41 and #46 has pics so tell me again what it only catches? Also if you are having trouble with Asphaltens in your fuel it will gather in this filter. Heck just look at the paper towel. Read this thread. Anyone changed the fuel pump filter on NHC250? | SteelSoldiers

    Fuel Pump Filter

    Are rust particles magnetic. Here is Schrodinger's cat. It's perfectly clean or it has trash in it but till you look it can be either one. Or true Schrodinger it is both till you look.

    Fuel Pump Filter

    While Cummins put that in there literature about the screen filter and PT failure we are dealing with close to a 40 year old truck. Also some not so bright persons working on it while it was in service. There is no reason if you want to check if you feel you would like to for your own reasons. I...
