    First Drive

    Mabye you should check the front weel bearings. I won't hurt to at least repack them before you go. Also check for wear in the steeringbox. if there is too much wear the tires will wobble and vibrate. And don't forget the u-joints. if there is a bad one the drive shaft will sing a horrable song.

    This may sound crazy, but did you change the fuel filters? Is there any white smoke when cranking but not running? You mentioned the injectors sprayed when up side down, but when the piston in thecompression stroke there might be enough clyinder pressure to not allow a good spray. If the...

    General M35 Usage Questions

    I use mine for EVERYTHING! I've hauled 8 yards of wet sand (19000#) , to fire wood, lumber, jeeps, and even the weekly wal-mart run. You won't believe how much sheet-rock this thing will carry. As for 10mpg, that's pretty good for a 13000# truck.

    If you back off of the fuel rate does it stop leaking? Have you removed it? How did your truck run after you increased the rate?

    turn up the fuel....

    I know, And you way works also. Bret at boyce equipment showed me how to do this a few years ago. I've used this method on my truck and all of my fire dept trucks. with great results. espically for people who aren't experenced with IP's. Using the TM's way works also but is much more complacated.

    turn up the fuel....

    When you turn up the fuel rate make sure you have the engine up to operating temp. And change all three fuel filters. If you use dirty filters and turn it up when you change filters the difference in back pressure will change the setting. After the engine is warm remove the cap H R D mentioned ...
