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;

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... Now I am confused regarding the T/C PUMP DISENGAGEMENT SPACER...
( I MAY HAVE ERR'd in this post! https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/artisans-m916.122713/page-5#post-1579544
SHOULD I HAVE SAID "WITH" SPACER INSTALLED? )
So as pictured in the 3rd pic down a pump disengagement...
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...
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...
