Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Fuel filters!My duece is running like a bag of dog poo...anybody want to give me a hand in figuring out what is wrong with it and possibly drive it to tell me if this is normal for a duece to run like this. Right now I am dogging down on the smallest hills and it takes it 2hrs to get to 40.
Sorry to hear of your troubles? When you get it sorted you will know your truck inside and out and have more confidence in it! Just wait and see, there will be a light at the end of the tunnel. Start small and work up.That will have to wait till next month then...blew all my cheddar on buying, licensing, and insuring the darn thing. Guess I got another pretty driveway ornament for the time being.
What will the loosening injector test to check for squirt tell me? I figured for one thing it will let me know if the spray pattern is proper for the injector. Is there anything else in particular I should be observing while performing this test? Sorry for all the questions just want to be very thorough in my diagnosis of my truck.Well, you can check the compression and test the injector spray pattern for free while you're waiting for more moolah to magically appear. I think Harbor Freight probably has compression testing stuff for cheap. Another easy test while you're right there, is to start the engine and barely crack loose each injector, one at a time. You should see squirting diesel fuel at each injector and notice a 'missing' sound occurring just as you loosen them.
I wouldn't worry too much about having to change a head gasket. The truck is 40 years old, after all. Probably have to do it again in 2050.opcorn:It's pretty straight forward. We can help.
