While you wait on winter to pass where ever you live I would start lubricating the whole truck, but especially the cables it takes time for the lubricant to soak all the way in and it is not that hard to do.
Also the pump not turning will probably need to be diagnosed with the motor running and the 936 pumps and shafts are different under the bed. It can and probably will be a shaft key or one of the constant velocity joints on the shaft going to the pump or the rubber pump drive joint that you have to lift the boom most of the way up to take the pump out to change. Might want to wait on crawling under just yet.
Thank you
Csm Davis, that's excellent starting point advice. I've neglected lubricating even my deuce's winch cable but at least it has the luxury of in-door storage.
I have officially started my "TODO" list for the truck, parts I am certain I need (only scratching the surface for sure, but it'll all come with time), and what I need to research - such as the typically recommended cable lubricant for starters.The only winches I've ever owed are on my 2 MVs.
At the moment, with the temperatures, my #1 item actually is to test if the coolant freeze protection level is adequate for all winter. I think it'll just be wisest to treat almost everything as an unknown until it's been checked, serviced, or inspected. I'm sure that's always the case with almost anything we buy, but it's easier said than done.
Also, thank you for the advice on the diagnosing the pump system. I'll wait on it but you did describe very similar to what the previous owner and Boyce Equipment has told me (removing the boom most of the way to replace what is broken). I'll wait worrying on it until I can actually get power back there, in other words, a better running engine.
Don't drive it anywhere until you replace those hood latches. You will be looking for a hood if you do.
You are very right! Thanks
Jeepsinker, there's at least an easy fix.
Looks like GL sold this in Event 5308 in July of 2010. (Writing on curb side front fender) Looks like a Camp Shelby truck to me. Good luck with it, they come a lot worse.
Posts like this is what make me laugh in amazement. You had the necessary info (and preexisting knowledge) to determine this from a casual picture I took. Love it. 10/10
I'm surprised how far the truck has migrated since.
Your tanks don't look real bad, see which tank it is set on with the valve on the floor just inside the drivers door. Don't change it just look and whichever tank it is on use it for right now and just add fresh fuel to it. Don't mess with the fuel lines yet it ran so they are at least usable fix the primer pump might just need to be tightened or the o-ring replaced.
Alrighty, adding this to my check'n do list. I didn't take a picture of the fuel tank selector, or take proper note of its position, but I do recall it was covered in mud. Will clean and inspect. I presume the tank with "red" in it is just off road diesel and the other was regular street diesel. I did already put in a little anti-gel in both tanks.
