    DONE DONE DONE!~ I can now say I AM DONE! LOL! New engine all DONE! Did I say DONE? Ha~! I got the fuel pump back from the rebuilders. They said of the 3 housing parts that the center? housing had a hole that was out of spec thus causing the pump to not "bounce-back" ( IE when I let off the...

    So where the Power Steering Pump joins w/ the adaptor, as I said I believe I am unable to find O-Ring / Gasket #008771-026 & part #27 in pic below. I did some measuring and found two possible candidates at McMaster; https://www.mcmaster.com/9452K78/ & https://www.mcmaster.com/9452K85/ I...

    In this TM exploded view I only see 2 in the stack for warm weather! In the cold weather you see 3 w/ the spacer STOWED on the outside! I bet you, if you take that pump apart, you will see you have an EXTRA spacer bolted on the outside! I see 4 in your stack! And weird spacer washers! Part 23...

    Wes, I didn't see this until now. I have never pulled the fenders, the inner sheet steel yes but fenders no. So your saying a handle makes it way easier to R&R the fenders? If so I might do your mod in case I am on the roadside someday doing DS engine repairs. I have an aircraft ladder at...

    So when I removed the fuel pump, I had to pull the power steering pump as well. I removed the PS pump leaving the adaptor attached to the lube pump. ( Like the TM says to do!) The PS pump would not clear the fuel pump so I massaged it a bit and clearanced it. The PS Pump comes out from the top...

    OK, Great, so if you are removing, pull the 7/16" 12 Point bolt on the inside THEN use a 5/8" GEARWRENCH for the inside lower.

    WES! You said ; " 5/8 ratchet wrench down thru the hole on top where the 7/16 head 12pt is." Do you mean a 5/8" racheting box wrench like a gearwrench or A standard 3/8" drive rachet and a 5/8" short socket?

    THANK U Wes... The crap I have to endure to LEARN HA~! I did watch your Youtube on the 855 . I am not looking forward to the re-install. Remember, this is NOT one of those tiny little 5 tons...;) ( LOL I have one of them too! ) This is an M916 20 Ton BEAST and the top of the front fender is...

    So after I cleaned the tank and got the engine running again I encountered ANOTHER problem. The engine starts and runs GREAT, but if you let off the throttle the engine DIES! I could coax it to idle w/ much work, but IRL, that ain't happening. I can't have the engine dying on me. I called a...

    THIS IS FOR RICK Rick two of these pics have yellow arrows and labels, the 3rd is a pic of the Tranny temp sender removed but you can see it anyways. It is on the very front bottom of the trans. This all assumes you have a CAT 7155 tranny. Read my instructions carefully in the private message...

    Almost done... Dropped the tank and took it to a pro-welder to get the 2nd Fuel Filler neck welded in and and added some loops on the OE fuel cap so I could lock it w/ a padlock. It will keep the honest man honest...

    THAT was a tough job. Alas I beat that goop! A welder buddy of mine works at SpaceX as a welder. He has some real talents... That new filler neck is Sch 40 and the tank is .127 I am DONE cleaning. I will add a permanent lockable ball valve in the bottom.

    So I finally got the new 4" filler neck and cap and verified the diameter and drilled a 4.5" hole in the tank on the other side of the baffle. Additionally I bought 4 gallons of 99% Isopropyl Alcohol and dumped one gallon in and let it sit for 2 days. So I drill the hole and get access to the...

    The last place I filled up was that big Indian casino / fuel stop heading to L.A. after Vegas. I will NEVER get fuel there ever again if I can help it. When I use this truck it is always on the open road so no, I am not filling up locally w/ the same stuff. I am not sure if I ever threw Bio...

    I had Algae too! There is a "clear" difference between the two substances. That sticky black stuff is the Asphaltenes I am quit sure of it. Here are two pics of what you ( I believe ) and I have and here is the link to where I got these pics from...

    Thanx Hammer but there is only a small opening at the very bottom of the baffle! ....and because I have been back flusihing w/ HOT water I believe the down tube ( Suction) would block anything from getting past that small opening. The baffle is almost 100% You can see the only passthru...

    THANK YOU WIll... I have been experimenting and I have found that Alcohol cuts that nasty syrup that I still believe are Asphaltenes. I ordered another 4" Aluminum filler neck and a locking non-vented fuel cap and I have a welder bro who works for SpaceX that will weld it in for me. Here is...
