    Rust Holes! Question....

    I would grind away all rust until just shiny metal remains. Then fill the holes and the bare shiny steel area with JB Weld. Then coat the area with cold galvanize paint, then topcoat.

    Another 6.5 Turbo Question

    That will work. I would do everything I could to make sure the engine is a good runner before going through the work of transplanting it. Including making sure coolant doesn't disappear. My '00 6.5 TD does that. I keep having to refill it.

    You have a WTEC II. Pull the codes to see why it's not working right, then go from there. Attached is the Allison book.

    Another 6.5 Turbo Question

    Is the box truck a "cutaway", i.e. a van that has the back cut off? Those have the rear mount turbocharger which won't fit. Otherwise no problem other than having to "de-computerize" the engine.

    MF in-tank pump for gasoline?

    To me his question was: If I submerge an electric pump usually used for DIESEL in a GASOLINE tank, will I blow myself up?

    1954 M221 - new purchase

    He is right. But the winch is very much properly installed otherwise. Does the main data plate in the cab say “WITH WINCH”?

    MF in-tank pump for gasoline?

    Since the multifuel engine can run on gasoline, by design, yes. BUT I wouldn't trust an ancient electric motor inside my gas tank.

    RESOLVED No longer Stranded... anyone in the Macon or Augusta GA area?

    No. If you have to obtain a splice section anyway, just get several long sections of line and use unions to couple them. Abandon the leaking section and tie wrap the new line to the frame. The line is auto parts store item premade in various lengths.
