After searching for what I thought was a simple question I will just ask here. How do you change the large fuel filter behind the lt ft wheel on this 5 ton. Dose the canister spin off somehow. I don't see any bolt to remove.

Watching what they are doing to that truck is killing me.

I don't take many pictures. Heres one in my driveway.

Makes me wonder if it could be the sending unit. The steel lines that go across the frame to the tank are dry plus I pulled the clamps that hold them in place to make sure they where not rusty. They checked out fine. The sending unit is the only part left. There are no leaks around the unit. You...

Fuel line to the sending unit is new. They where done when I put the new tank in when I first got the truck. The only rubber line that has not been replaced is the feed line from the filter to the IP. For that I would have to remove the intake manifold.

He runs like a top . Just went and gave it a much needed bath.

Update to last post. Recap, I replaced all the rubber lines except the one feed line that go's from the filter to the IP. That did not fix the problem. Then tried removing the sensor in the filter base and pluged the hole. Seamed to be ok for a few days then one morning no prime. Now I was...

Ok.. The truck started right up when parked over night every time. Then I tried letting it sit for 48 hours. Started right up. Then 48.hours again. This morning no start. This is getting on nerves. Now I just installed a fuel check valve in the feed line. I put it under the cover on the rt side...

I can't believe the fix could be these easy. The truck started right up as it should this morning. I'm still not convinced so I will let it sit for a few days next week and try it again. When my brother gets back from his vacation I'll have him do the same thing to his truck. Thanks once again...

I took the filter base off Dude today. Removed the sensor, tapped the hole and sealed it with a bolt and permatex liquid metal. I have it parked back on level ground, now I wait till morning and see if it starts. Pluging the sensor hole took about one hour start to finish and cost nothing. Well...

i'll tap the hole for a pipe plug on Sat. I'll report back after testing. Thanks BG

Ok. My 1028 has been parked facing downhill for two days now. I got in this morning let the glow plugs cycle and he fired right up like it should. So this tells my what. I'm going to remove the filter housing on Sat. and remove and plug that sensor Cucvrus told me to do. Any other ideas?

I just parked it facing downhill. CUCVRUS is correct. That filter base should not take 10 min. to remove. I'll try and start it in the morning and see what happens. I'm going to pull the filter base and plug the sensor no matter what. I'll report back soon. BG

I can park it in my back yard. I'll try that today.

I won't get to work on him till Sat. That's the only free time I have. When I get home after being here all day I'm shot.

Got it

So your saying unbolt the filter housing from the firewall and block that black round plug. Or is that the front under the filter?

Only from cold overnight start. After that they start with a bump of the key.

I have 2 CUCV's with the same problem. Never had any problems with starting the 1028 or the 1008. Then out of the blue they both loose prime over night. I tried a new lift pump on one, no help. Changed all rubber lines on both,no help. Changed the fuel filter on mine, the 1028 and it was fine...

Had new tires put on Dude yesterday. The old ones looked good but a close look showed they where dry rotted. Stock size for a 1028, 235 85 16 General Grabbers. Next project is to pull the ft hubs and replace ft u joints and spring bushings. There is nothing wrong with the u joints now but new...
