I run everything. But it comes from a tote so it is all mixed together. truck has run on nothing but used oil since 2011. was my every day drive till late 2017.
I think those are the plates off the bottom of in tank fuel pump. If you can bleed the air out of the filter bleeder valve they are from a old pump. If not they are from the current one and it will run but not pump.
Most likely have a filter plugging up. I would think it's just a fluke as the oil would not have had time to get to the filters. The filters go from flowing to plugged real quick.
Good luck

I started with Photoshop to see how it would look. Then measure a lot. pay attention to clearance for the overhead. I had to set my camper on top of 4x6s to clear. But this gave me room for the water tanks. I don't know about your truck but the deuce has a lot of frame flex. If it is going to be...
The roof has started sagging under the a/c unit. Half of the a/c is on new strong roof framing and half on the original camper framing. The camper framing ends at the wall with the circuit beaker box. I glued up a oak beam with a good crown in it. Ran it across from the bathroom wall to the...
Tested the house battery's and they were down to 50%. I checked the output from the charger inverter. It was 9 volts.
Pulled the inverter out and looked through the vents and saw this.
I cut an access hole and soldered the wire back on. No change still 9 volts coming out.
The truck also has a...
Finished paint touch up.
And installed the cover I made.
My frig is freezing on 110 volts so that's the next project. I want to repair it because I like having the vintage stuff.
If any of you happen to have a wiring diagram for a Dometic RM 45 frig please let me know.
Time has been hard on the paint and the counter top.
I calked the counter and started touching up the pealing paint
Also started a access cover for the shower faucet.
More to come.
When this thread was hot I eagerly awaited daily updates. Hard to believe it was so long ago.
I run 50 weight motor oil in the trans and transfer case. The sincros started working better in a 100 miles or so. It was a daily driver back then. Now I look at it after work and it seems 50 feet tall...
Not for calls. The phone just has my music library in it. But as the com is designed also for radio communication so I am sure there is a way. Also I did a google search of the com part no and found a source for the power cord for com unit. Its nice not having to change batterys.
All I have to do is pull two screws, shift to passengers side and move to the rear enough to clear wiper motors. Then set drivers end on steering wheel and all is exposed.
I would be concerned about how little belt wrap you have on the alternator. The belts will slip when under a heavy load. I went with a single belt compressor so I could keep one belt in the factory location witch is about one third wrap on the alternator. You are at less than 25% contact. You...
Been driving mine for 4 years now pretty close to every day. Still running on used oil. Since I stopped taking oil from other people I no longer have to clean injectors and only change filters every 6 months or so. The only real problem I have is keeping tires on the front. They don't last very...
