Hmmmm, someone else will need to chime in on this one.

The important stuff.

I know a good shop, you think they can do one of these, it's sealed up pretty tight.

Well, I got it turning free, but it still no worky. I guess I need a new motor, anyone know where I can get one cheap ? :)

lol, my HEATER motor :) As for the truck, it's running much better after all the maintenance. It's almost like a different truck !

The motor is locked up. I'm hoping it's just stuck from non use/sitting and the brushes aren't fused to the armature or anything. Maybe I can get it running. I'm a wimp, so I need my heater too, I will drive the deuce plenty in the winter and I want to be nice and toasty ! :)

We had a deuce in my unit with a setup similar to that.

I guess you have a smaller torque wrench. My heater needed to come off anyway.

Pretty easy. Close off petcocks on hoses, remove clamps, remove hoses. Undo tie down for hoses on engine top. Unplug heater electrical. Loosen clamp at firewall, remove hose. Take bolts off of heater bottom. Pull heater off. Clean up antifreeze that spills. Admire work.

Ok, done now :)

Also removed my heater, because it's broken and needs some work. And I don't think I'll need it this summer in La.

Apparently, my truck was a non turbo, but the military added one.

Come back from beer, and adjust air governor. Go from 90 to 120 psi. Sorry no pics of air governor adjustment.

Ok, now open up vents on top of filters to make sure all the air is out. It should be. Go inside, have a beer. End of step by step.

Yay !!! Let truck run a minute or so.

Bring on the ether ! Since you are by yourself, this is how this part goes: First, squirt a bit in the intake, climb in truck, lean over seat, press start. Truck starts, truck dies. Climb out. Repeat 4 more times. Get a tad angry, take a sec to contemplate wiring up an additional start button...

Ok, now remember, I have no lift pump, so truck may not start. Try to start it anyway. It does not start. Curse, even though you KNEW this would happen.

Fill the filters with fuel, spin on the front one first, then the rear. Admire work, it sure does look sweet right ?

Put in small o-ring around the center of the filter base, and the new gasket around the edge. They should stay there. Put the hex nipple in the adapter and screw it on. Do the other one. Be insanely happy that since the heater is now moved, you can get the torque wrench in there and tighten both...

Now, loosen the top nut on the filters. Then unscrew the rear filter first. Spill a little fuel, but congratulate yourself because you did well this time, only half a gallon on the OSSK ! Then repeat for the front filter. Crawl under truck to see if the gaskets came out, because I couldn't feel...
