Glad to see you made it home with no issues man. You know you ran off and left without letting me give you those new secondary fuel filters.

Now get the chainsaw and go after what is still standing.

Just tow it man. 90 miles is nothing, but yeah put some weight in the back. A load of dirt would be great.

You are going to need quite a sizable fuel storage tank now.

You have much to learn young padawan...

You can use an airbrush and duracote to paint it.

It is incredibly hard to penetrate a scepter water can with anything short of a bullet. You can drive over them with a HMMWV and not hurt them. So no, somebody injecting anything into it to sabotage it is highly unlikely.

Glad to see you found the issue. We had the same issue with another member's truck at the rally this weekend.

I would just move the pump back to where it is supposed to be. Like you said, just use that other hole for a cleaning port, or install a backup pump.

No less than two tubes if you haven't greased the truck recently. Universal joints and tie rod ends take a lot of grease when they are dry. If you replace the front boots, pack the wheel bearings, and repack the knuckles you need about six pounds of grease, and that is just the front axle.

I made it home as well about an hour ago. Had a great time! Was good to meet everyone. Hope to see you guys again soon.

Dan, pull the water pump and check the fins on the impeller, they may be badly eroded. I would also flush through the water pump housing while it is off. Sounds like you re-deposited some gunk and clogged some cooling passages when you did the flush. Could be in the block, could be in the...

We need to do a bulk purchase of buttons....

Well you've been a member long enough!

It looks like a canvas support frame, maybe not for the Duwk, maybe for an amphibious Sherman or something? Whatever it is don't scrap it, somebody will need it someday! And they aren't making any more of them.

My truck runs fine and I have a bunch of blowby.

You aren't going to find one for $2000. Just the way it is. I wish I could say save up and buy one, but the prices are climbing faster than most people can save these days. You may be able to score a five ton at auction within your budjet still if you are lucky. edit: Or do some hustling!

I'm goin to go with the melted piston diagnosis. Maybe washed rings.

Perhaps a Roosamaster pump could be retrofitted to our engines if need be.

Yeah, you will most likely end up drilling at least one pin out. If you don't have to drill you can just replace the pins with 1/4" bolts, if you do have to drill then yes, upgrade to 5/16".
