I think most members put it on top of the tank. The regular in-tank pump only pushes fuel at about 9-10 psi (I know because I have a gauge there). The booster pump boosts to like 75 psi or so. You should be fine leaving everything inside the tank alone and pull fuel through the disabled in-tank...

Dasgog: I am an expert computer networking and CISCO troubleshooter Deuce: "Watch this!" Proceeds to show illogically positioned red coloured tooth on hydraulic head and refuses to start. Presents a digital interface that is not compatible with...basically anything, other than a military device...

We are very much hoping for that!! :beer:

@Dasgog does air pressure not work in pushing the fuel or is the fuel line clogged?

See, that is why I run an aluminium A3 tank! :)

Ok, I have to ask.....why? What makes an old, underpowered, single boom winch wrecker attractive for the work you do? Reason for asking is that recovery in my area is a tough cutthroat business where every investment better have a good business case and return. I am not in recovery but get to...

@Dasgog I would think that anything that can create a few psi in the tank would work. No need to go crazy, just enough constant pressure to push fuel through the lines.

I suggest this option: Loosen the fuel line at the secondary filters. Open the fuel tank cap, take a rag and a compressed air gun. Aim air gun into tank and "seal" with the rag with hand pressure. Pressurize the tank to push fuel through to the secondaries. When fuel comes out the line (good...

Also, the windshield frame may or may not be tilted far enough back. Not obvious but can give alignment issues.

@rickdavis81 just mentioning that one wants an LDS that is a thick deck (TD lettering cast into the block near the data plate) as a candidate to really turn up the power. The older regular blocks may not like the increased pressures and blow the head gasket or warp. Also, a gauge for exhaust...

The little mushrooms? They have a crimped-on cap that you can carefully un-crimp with a small screwdriver. Inside is a - booooiinnnggg, there it went, never to be seen again - small spring and a rubber disc. The stuff is clean-able; I would likely use something non-sticky rubber friendly. I just...

A few thoughts here. The Mitsubishi has full lockers in both axles. You can see that clearly with the front axle; the tire that has grip on the rock and the tire that is in the air both spin at the same speed. A Deuce off-road will benefit from three lockers, ideally air actuated so you have...

Not sure about the Spicer in the 5ton but in the 2 1/2 ton the shaft conveniently sticks out in reverse so it is possible to mount the same momentary switch (any starter switch will do) that @Wreckclues uses in the cross member under the floor. Same functionality but more discreet. For stop...

The rubber in the axle vents can become sticky as it ages and the vents won't vent so good anymore. You can use a 1/8 NPT hose barb instead and run a hose up to the frame with a cheapo in line fuel filter at the end to keep water out and let it vent freely. Just a thought. Pressure buildup in...

I am glad @SUBARUMAFIA you got the spring brake chamber caged and the "pancake" on the service brake chamber replaced. The push rod on a new chamber is over length and needs to be shortened for your application. The instructions on "how to" either come on a sheet with the new pot or are...

Mack 5 tons got the ENDT-673 diesel engines. HP ratings in the low 200 (225?). I saw a Mack 5ton converted to a brush truck that starred in a tv show. The truck was mint, the ENDT sounded awesome and the truck had upgrades such as armour plate at the bottom to be able to drive hard in rough...

Now that you did that, we are insatiable....and want a video with the sound of the engine running...once it is running! ;-)

Wild that we obtain a 72 year old vehicle and set out on getting it running and "back into service" for another life of adventure! We sure have set the bar high for the trucks we "play" with. So many other vehicles get scrapped and crushed after one single, measly life!

WOW, have to come visit next time I am up Hwy17!! And, yes, I do like them original-ish. Some improvements are good, though. :-) Some reading on the R6602 https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/continental-r6602.142528/

@m715mike My wife says I can buy another MV or truck, but it needs to have a sleeper so I can be comfortable. There is a hidden threat in that, but I have not quite figured it out..... ;-)
