Stopping at the Cracker Barrel in Dalton, GA to eat. All is good so far.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Dalton eh? Making decent time.

 

[Stonepicker1]

Made it home at 6 am this morning. No issues.

I was traveling at about 68 to 73 MPH most of the way. Traffic in Atlanta on Friday was a killer. Stop and go.

yep. I was in it too going north. Sucked. Glad you made it in ok.

I was in it Tuesday and it even sucked then. Not going back until 7July. Will be there for a week then back in GA permanently. Can't wait

Took a few pictures today. Engine looks good. Batteries will not take a charge.
Nice never used jack setup behind the seat.

Going to drop the fuel tank and make sure it's clean( fuel cap was missing and who knows what went into the tank )

To due list after cleaning tank is:
Replace fuel filter.
New Batteries.
Maybe new electric fuel pump.

And see what happens.

oh.....the dually bed is only bolted down with two bolts......looks like someone wanted to take the bed off for some reason.

Than is one clean looking 6.5L.

Smart call on the fuel tank. You could just take the bed off since they helped you already.

I thought about removing the bed. Truck is still on the trailer and I'm almost have the tank dropped. I removed 20 gallons of clean looking fuel already which is a good sign.

 

[Stonepicker1]

I need to find a DUVAC that mounts behind the seat.......someone removed it.

 

[Stonepicker1]

Dropped the fuel tank, cleaned inside(not really needed). Sock was clean.

Reinstalled sending unit and tank back on the truck.

 

[Stonepicker1]

Bought two new batteries today from pep boys...35% off on line. Great deal.

Installed the batteries, was going to replace the fuel filter but it is brand new. Air filter is new also. Looks like they just serviced the truck.

Primed the fuel system and turned the key.........it started right up and sounds great.

Put it into gear forward and reverse. All good.

Going to have to find a DUVAC to keep the drivers side battery charged.

Great news Stonepicker. Must have been a huge sigh of relief when it fired right up. And only 6,000 miles or so on the odo? You did very well.

amazing they sold and possibly already started cannibalizing such a low mirage ready to run truck. Stonepicker and guesses as to how many cucv II's of all types were produced vs how many are still in the channels to be sold yet?

Not a clue on numbers or type's out there.

This is the first Dually I have seen so I just had to have it.

FYI: the AC is blowing ice cold.

I wonder if a battery equalizer would work in place of the duvac. I don't know anything about the duvac, so I'm just throwing it out there.

 

[Stonepicker1]

Upgraded my pump mounted PMD to a new Stanadyne gray PMD with #9 resistor mounted behind the front bumper.

So far I have went through two tanks of fuel. First tank I got 14.1 MPG.
Second tank I got 15.7 MPG.

Both times the average speed was around 70 MPH and all highway driving.

Truck is running great so far.

 

[Warthog]

Great news on the truck. Did you ever find a Duvac?

 

[Recovry4x4]

Each truck is.going to need a spare transfer case at the rate you are going Phil. Dually looks mighty nice though.
