The FDC could have been bypassed, without the concurrent reduction in fuel delivery being made. The screw would have to be turned in a few flats. If it hasn't, that's ok, if you run a pyrometer. It gives you the extra oomph when you want it and you control your right foot and check the pyro...

I cannot even imagine how frustrating this is for you, but my hat is off to you for documenting your journey so well. This thread is going to help many others. Because, at the end, your truck WILL start..... Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Crapshoot. The used one is quick to get and relaively cheap. "Leaking from top" may be from an old O-ring or a deformed injection line ferrule. A non-issue. Or from a cracked head. Useless beyond using it for testing. I have one of the Chinese aftermarked heads (the ones that our gurus here...

The HH gurus will chime in, but I would be wondering about plunger wear in the HH and inability to build pressure. The booster pump on the IP may also warrant a look; does it supply fuel to the HH at the pressure required? At this point it would be helpful to have a spare HH on hand to swap in...

Ok, so she is getting fuel now. Pressure at secondary filters should be 60-70 psi once running. With fuel, air and compression there is not much reason why she should not fire. Injection timing could be off, of course, but you said she ran before. At this point I'd be inclined to let her sniff...

If you got it for a good price - which means that you were happy paying it and the seller happy receiving it - getting weather checked tires replaced on top of it is a bonus. Those big super singles are not cheap. I like the stance; the 5ton with the short van box looks muscular and well...

I wish to think I got them all, especially when doing the one on the brake pedal assembly and the one on the pintle, but i am sure I manage to forget one of the..what...42? zerks on a winch truck . Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

I think you might be answering your own question. If it sounds/feels fuel starved, it likely is. You discovered crud in the tank and varnish. That stuff was likely also in the several yards of fuel line, supply and return. When that material starts moving, it can clog up new filters. Take the...

I was thinking.."wow, 5k for THIS?" Looking at the truck in the picture with the molested bed and wooden "improvements". Then I figured out that this is not YOUR truck! Sometimes, more coffee is a good thing. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

I wish it was my place! This is a former wool blanket factory, turned storage facility. Just got a new owner, with an immediate 80% price hike. Oh, well.....gotta pay to play, as they say.

It is this time of the year again. Leaves falling, temperatures dropping and snow on the horizon. Queen Lola got tucked away into her winter quarters today. I am always in a slightly somber mood when I put her away. I do miss going for rides in those six months of the year. On the other...

Any time I wince at the price of a part for my Deuce I will return to this bookmarked thread and feel like I have a cheap hobby! Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Oh, the memories! Unloading an old dump truck in a similar fashion. "Put it in neutral" the guy said. Only, it wasn't. Engine coughed to life as the loader nudged the truck down the ramp. Then it took off. No way for us to run and catch it. Massacred a fence, a perimeter wall and got stuck in...

I'd grab a pair. Of clips and buttons. Not....anyways...stop talking.

That is a wicked intersection! Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

I think the OP mentioned 2 x 500 gallons, so about 9000 Ibs including tanks etc. If recall the data plate correctly, it is listing 10,000 lbs on-highway. Highway in the military sense is any solid-ish road surface, such as a gravel road. 5000 lbs off-road, which in the military sense means a...

Just....awesome. I don't think I would ever have thought of doing this to an M109. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Can't see the actual detail of the cut-down job but I dig the looks with the cargo bed and the wheelwell cut outs from the van box. Unique and looks more stylish than the regular bed. Is it open in the back or did they redneck a tail gate? By the sounds of it you have done some much needed...

Here is some info, especially in the last posts: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m1008-anti-theft-switch.149748/

If it helps, I bought regular delineator decals, got magnetic backing material online and made my own removable delineator panels. Easy peasy. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk
