I mounted LED lights on the left and right side of the bed and tucked away in the rear bumperettes . They move out so I can direct the light to the side of the truck if I ever need to work on the truck in the dark somewhere. I don't have a ladder, yet ! I'm planning on adding some foldaway steps...

Here's some pictures for you.

I replaced mine with a stainless steel unit with U-joints from "Borgeson" . It has worked great for 10 years now.

Good job!

No, they all have vents. What has probably happened is the vent got broken off and crud filled up the hole. The vents are usually around the "pumpkin" area on the main housing. It can also have a vent in the pumpkin itself.

If you have never taken an engine apart then I would get help from an experienced person to help you. I would not take the valves apart ! They are under a lot of pressure and can cause a lot of damage if done improperly !

Since you have the machining capability why not make the bushing out of brass ?

Your right. I was going by the single phase line being 0 to 90 peak. The original answer still holds though. The phase difference between two 3 phase lines will not properly power a motor designed for 180 degrees phase difference. I do know about the 120 degrees in 3 phase buy my mind has been...

That pump will only have problems if it is worn out. Then it can loose prime "if" the in-tank pump is bad. What I mean is the truck can usually still run with a bad in-tank fuel pump if the lines are good (no air leaks) . The injection pump fuel pump takes up the slack. When it finally goes out...

Depends on how long your trying to run it, but basically "Yes" .

Now is that paint a water or oil based paint ?

The rods with springs, are you talking about the valves ? If you are then they come out with a special "valve spring compressor" tool. I would let the shop deal with them if you don't have the tools.

The heads where just changed out recently ? Take it back to them and have them do it right ! They messed up something for the gaskets to go bad this fast. More then likely the heads need shaving.

When you look at a graph of the sine-wave it comes out to 180 degrees for single phase and 90 degrees for three phase. That is how you can have a wave 270 degrees out in three phase. Remember we are talking of a 360 degree circle here, as in the spinning rotor.

Our shop trucks all have these extremely heavy duty push-bumpers to push dead busses around the yard and into the shop. So I thought "why not ! " . This way I can help push a dead vehicle ( truck) off the road and not destroy their bumper in the process. I also loved the 1970's Plymouths and...

Yeah ! I was really looking forward to meeting you and the missus!

I hope you got a good deal on it !

I was really lucky and was able to buy some NOS Hydraulic-Head units from "Evil Dr. Porkchop" . I also bought 3 complete injector pumps from a fellow member up here. So I don't know who has some NOS units left laying around. I do know that Gimpyrobb (Chris) has a LOT of spare parts laying around...

For us to do this job correctly really would take a week. I would remove all injectors and completely teardown the heads. Get them checked for warpage and do a valve job. I don't want to have to go back in a year to do a valve job. Get it all done now. It's the same thing when removing the...

Your going to have to do some digging into the control box and using your voltmeter start checking things out. Us the TM's troubleshooting guide. It will help.
