Productive day today since it warmed up to the 50s!
Primary and secondary fuel filters changed. Hand primer seems to have an issue though, seems the check valve isn't working as I can see it push the fuel but then suck it back with each pump. Will pick up a new one tomorrow.
Transfer case fluid changed. Hard to find 40w engine oil but got some royal purple synthetic. Tried the harbor freight electric pump but found out thick oil doesn't agree with it. Unsurprising for $10. Just used the old hose and funnel method. There were some very small chips on the magnet, no idea if it's been cleaned before. Oil coming out looked great, still golden.
Serviced the after cooler (with the exception of the outlet valve...need to find or make a tool for that wierd hex fitting). Kind of a pain and easy to cut o-rings when putting everything back together so be careful and lube those things. Pretty sure this is the exact same unit as used on early FMTV vehicles, but they use the dessicant version- the instructions even said dessicant and didn't have any notes about the aluminum filter chunks. The aluminum filter pieces looked new, the lower filter rubber was degraded and falling apart. Took a lot of time cleaning out the oil/water junk, not that there was too much.
