I hate to admit that I don't know the answers to these other questions, but at -22 fuel will want to gel. In the lines the fuel moves faster and "without its friends" in the tank, it gets colder. IE: Fuel will freeze in the line way before the tank. That happens in a diesel engine for...

What if... Temperature where you are? Is it colder that a witches @#$ in a brass bra? Fuel. Is it a winter blend?
If you can get it to crank up and run for a bit, some fuel additive might help freshen up the fuel. It that 50 gallons from 2012? Any possibility that you gathered algae...

Good Man!
Having a workspace is really great. I can't quite bring myself to spend the money for a building. Down here where I am, there is generally about two months of chilly weather. Might be a couple of cold weather days, then occasional rain. Out there where you are - you need a...

In your sound proofing thread, you have a "twin screw" (M-108X Series) truck. That cantilever weight won't be as much of an issue because of that... Yes, the rear axle will be "heavier" on a scale, but you will definitely have more weight forward to offset the spares and a scooter...

Welcome to the Outfit!
Since you are here, how about some pictures of your motorpool? I mean even if two of them are mostly gutted, they still need to be included. ;-) Sounds to me like you have a heck of a wife! Having her support will sure make it easier for you to spend the time and...

Don't know what you do for a living, but that is one heavy beast. Chances are that it is sitting on a concrete pad or at least most of them are. Somebody has the pieces of paper that were signed with TACOM. Might be worth reading before you go much further. Painting it in place shouldn't...

Welcome to the Outfit!
Like @BKubu mentioned - we need pictures! That way we can all drool and smile and give you proper encouragement. :)
Don't forget that you can download the Technical Manuals (TM's) for your truck here. Link below. Those crusty old books will put you to sleep if you...

Florida had a big problem where you could get yourself a Nursing Certificate without going to school ( Siena College, Palm Beach School of Nursing and Sacred Heart International Institute). Apparently these 7600 people took the Board Exam for nurses. Of course the window may have closed on...

Can't help but wonder if it is a handle for a CUCV maybe?
To me it seems like a scissor jack type of handle.
Maybe an OLD Deuce had some sort of mechanical bottle jack handle?

At one point in time, I had a friend who spent "time in the klink". He spent time teaching me lock picking when I was in my 20's and I remember that a Master Lock is the easiest lock to pick. Shoot it, and it is tough. Pick it though, just by raking the tumblers is just as fast as a key. A...

Why in the world would they do that?
That is using old money...
They need to be using NEW money.
No need to send our old junk over there when our Gouberment can send new stuff over there.

That road speed isn't half bad compared to a Deuce for example.
Remember, when you finally get her up and running it will never be a speed queen.
BUT, you will have a big ol buggy to ride when it is done.
:cool:

I am kinda of the opinion that "all of the above" could have a lot to do with the peddle "pumping up" with time. Air bubbles could get chased further down the line, the shoe springs could be getting weak over the years (slow shoe return), a little rust on the pivot cams down on the bottom of...

Jasper does a lot of Ford re-manufacturing for a local truck only shop here in town. I know one of the techs and the company is really happy with the quality. Thye stand behind their product as well...
