No I used off road diesel as the main solvent to cut the oil with first, then added the other solvents. I left them sit I disturbed from the time I posted that I made them until yesterday or day before. The days all blend together anymore.

Negative, I have a G code pump. No Fdc.

The NDT tires should be just fine for what you intend. They are cheap too.

ok. I have yet to notice my engine making oil, but will check tomorrow with a mirror.

Then by all means, buy it. If that is how you feel we will help you bring it back to life.

Wouldn't it contaminate the engine oil with fuel if it was doing that?

Update: Was in the shop today and found my old test group I forgot about. The jars with Xylene and mineral spirits both showed very good results. Lots of carbon precipitates in the bottom of both jars. The jar with Naptha showed very little precipitation and seems to have been a complete failure.

Hydraulic cylinders are not difficult to repair, just heavy. If you can rebuild a wheel cylinder you can rebuild a hydraulic cylinder. To clarify, I just mean that it is simple, not that the parts or process is in any way similar. As long as the ram isn't bent that is. Anyway, it looks like you...

I hope you guys are putting a well baffled tank in that truck. They are top heavy enough as it is.

Cummins? The A3 doesn't have a Cummins!aua

Tiger stripe is my favorite camo.

Yeah.... The hydraulic tank alone is 100 gallons, and the fluid is $10 a gallon.... Mine was empty when I got it. That really sucked.

Oh, I forgot, I was getting 7lbs boost. Gauge mounted by the Windshield center post angled towards me. I just went out and adjusted the droop screw and smoke cam and drove it again. This makes the fourth time I have adjusted the fuel in the past few days and I finally got the performance that I...

I believe you may have called it out on the HH comment,not sure if things work that way but it seems plausible and likely in my case. Remember my badly rusted fuel tank causing me trouble for the first little while I had the truck? May have damaged the HH from that. On the other hand, I did...

I have a spare hood for it too. As far as starting it, make sure the block and oil pan don't have any holes in it, but don't try and start it. But it first at a little better price, then have a couple of buddies help you try and start it the first time. It takes at least two people to do safely...

There are spray on products that would work wonders for you. Also consider heavy weight tractor insulation mat or simple heavy rubber floor mat available from tractor supply.

Yeah I know it can be hard to tell true condition from pictures, and that works for the better and the worse. It is always good to see a truck restored vs. torched up. See what you can do to secure ownership. If that can't happen there is no point discussing it any further. If you can buy it but...

Yes sir! Just keep in mind that it isn't a permanent fix. A good rain will streak it, and if no rain it will still evaporate over a period of time, but that's all you can do short of a repaint.

I don't mean it isn't worth fixing up, just depends on what you can get it for, if you can buy it at all. And if you can't get a title or whatever your state requires to transfer ownership legally, it is worth even less. I have a good rust free cab if you end up needing one.

Can you secure ownership of this truck? Looks pretty far gone, but there are a lot of good parts there.
