Certainly!

Definitely, hope my attempts go well tomorrow!

For one, the radiator is bone dry from what I can tell so I could probably try and dump some water through and see what comes out but if it takes 12 quarts of water (that's a rounded half) plus what it takes to flush. We would be talking 4 or 5 gallons of water there at say $2 a gallon, ouch! I...

Thank you Stampy :grin:! (<-on both posts) The A-Team shall always hold a spot with me! Is your avatar O'Neill from Stargate SG-1? I could be mistaken though since I can't get a good zoom on your picture...

Just to get the ideas spun up before it comes down to a short time tomorrow, given that I can get the engine to run, what should I put in the radiator? Normally of course, you would put in distilled water and/or antifreeze, but the radiator in this thing appears to have some corrosion. With that...

Ok! Though this is not going to help me focus in school tomorrow :whistle:.

Something else I should add... Thank all of you guys for all the information and encouragement so far and to come! It helps a lot!

I meant to ask you Warthog, when you talk about the wiring being hacked, do you mean because of the lack of a 12v power wire to the truck or what? The only reason why there is no wire to the diamond junction block is because the jumper that would be between the two batteries is gone and I'm...

I know, but even knowing that, $5 a foot is still too much for me :(...

Yeah, my Grandpa has a couple decent lengths of clear stuff of several diameters so I ought to be able to find something. Currently I am getting around by means of my Mom (:p) and though I get my license in March, I'm gonna need a vehicle (maybe this M1009 :)?) since we only have my Mom's Accord.

Well that's really annoying (not you guys). Had to spend so much time getting stuff together for the truck and running around to stores that I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow :(! On top of that, 3/8" fuel hose is OVER $5.5 A FOOT... Seriously? It doesn't help that I'm stuck on a bad...

My idea is a heavy mechanic for Union Pacific or something like that. I'm already well on the way to doing so and I love trains on top of all of this...

Thanks for the advice Matt! At least for now, the truck is going to be slurping out of a can so no problems there but if this thing is going to go anywhere, that tank is going to be dropped and cleaned! I have definitely heard about the cost it takes to run these things but you gotta have...

You are probably right about that especially since my Grandpa has some land (about 2 acres) with a shop. It also doesn't help that on Friday (since I had no school that day) when I first started working on the M1009, a Deuce drove right by! I was unaware of any in the area and that made me want...

Thank you for the tips on how to get parts for the truck and what the fuel filter is! Considering that it (the fuel filter) was full of ATF or something, I don't think that the filter is in bad shape. Is it a bad idea that I want a Deuce by the time I graduate :-P?

Alright. I will be heading out for the truck in about an hour. Thankfully, I have already checked the sir filter and it is very clean all the way into the manifold! On the fuel filter, I cannot seem to figure out where to get one in the few minutes I spent browsing google with a couple different...

Thank you again Stampy! That ought to get this truck running for sure. Now just to find a well priced transmission to get this thing moving! (given of course that my grandpa is fine with restoring the truck since it is his :) )

I guess I should be glad to hear that and I am grateful! Still makes me wonder though why it was full of seemingly straight ATF but it doesn't matter at this point. Like I had said though, any idea how many feet and of what diameter fuel hose will I need? At this point, I should be able to get...

Since I'm not at the truck right now and since I will be hitting Napa before I head over to it, how many feet of fuel line do you think I'll need? Might as well make sure I have the right diameter as well (what would the inner diameter be?). I dare say I might just skip the fuel filter but if I...

I'm sorry that I am asking you guys so much but where would the best spot to be to splice in a line from a fuel can (with a picture if possible)? Also, would I just be able to run a line from a can and the engine suck from it? Or can I do that but have the can above the engine for a gravity...
