This is over 4 days, both oil and trans fluid. Seems like the pan gasket maybe leaking, so I see about tightening up the bolts a bit. The rear seal has leaked from day one and I think that is the nature of those seal since these trucks sit for quite some time. I am going to try to...

3/8" fuel line, thanks Rick. I will try and reach it. I just had knee surgery last Wednesday, so crawling around topside is not possible right now, but maybe in a week. So I'll give it a shot, and if your suggestion doesn't work, I think I'll go with your plan B and try to disconnect from the...

Does anyone know if the Cardone Select 90-1024 Ford Pump POD will work on our 6.2's?

Nice fabrication work Rick. Way back when, some of our CUCV's, running out in the big sand, ran full length flaps across the back, attached under the bumpers to try and keep the dust down (useless, but a good attempt). Some had adapted Hummer flaps for both the front and rear wheel wells. I...

TERRA, that looks pretty damn good. So, questions: 1. What was the total amount of green used? 2. Are you going all green or going three color camo? Mine is camo right now, but I have some very small areas of rust I want to address and I am thinking I may want to go straight green. 3. If...

Ah, the early days of floppy drives and DOS. I think we used one of those back in the day, to keep track of some things that went boom.

Mine seems to be heavily marking it's territory. I need to do the main rear seal, the output seal for the driveshaft yoke coming out of the transfer case and and find the new leak on my newly rebuilt trans, which is really starting to piss a good amount of fluid on my garage floor.

OK, so after I got up the energy to shorten up the drive chain on my small tractors 48" snowblower and replace some items on the discharge chute, I climbed under the truck to see what was ahead of me. My first mistake was not wearing the knee brace I am supposed to be wearing after my surgery...

Damn Squibbly, I had one of those when I was a kid !! Can't afford them now !!

She fires, but very, very briefly ( a second or two), but won't keep running. Then, after that, she doesn't want to fire. She will crank all day long, as long as the batteries hold up (constantly charging them so I can troubleshoot).

Yup, I trust him and drove my truck down 6 hours to drop it off so he could work on it. If I go stir crazy and decided to swap out the filter to IP hose, what type of clear hose should it be? Is there a diesel rated clear fuel line?

Thanks Squibbly !

Just had the sending unit replaced. If there were bad rubber lines going t the sending unit I am sure Rick would have caught it, and replaced them, but it's a good idea and I will check them. The line to the injection pump is brand new and is not leaking. I will disconnect the filler hose...

Can't wait to see the final product. Looking good so far ! And thanks for all the info !

I didn't know you could do the rear main seal without removing the trans on the 6.2, due to the oil pump interfering with an oil pan drop. If it is that easy, even I might attempt to do it, as mine is leaking as well AND I HATE LEAKS !!

Ok, in between everything else I have going on, I tried to start her once again. No joy. I disconnected the line going into the fuel filter, again, filled up a jar and was still getting what looks like crap fuel. I then tried to syphon more out of the tank, but I can't get any significant...

Glad no one got hurt !

It's looking great ! How much paint do you thin it will to complete the job and did you thin it with Floetrol?

While I don't disagree that 100% would be the best, I think I got 90% of what was in the tank. A fill with good fuel should be good enough to get her rolling and once I burn through that, the next fill up should do it. I think I will go ahead, after I fill her up the 1st time, I'll let her sit...

OK, I figured it out. I was trying to go in through the fuel fill neck. End of tube was getting caught on the metal lip of the filler tube on the fuel tank. Got past that and syphoned out 20 gallons thus far. 1st 5 gallons was as nasty as the first jar was. Second 5 gallons started to clear...
