Had a similar problem in my 5 ton, turned out to be the filter assembly, couldn't hold prime. Replaced my o-rings, cleaned the baring surfaces and replaced the filter solved the problem. Another issue I had was a rotten fuel pickup tube in the tank. Not sure if your rigs have the same issue.

Yup, an M813 and what little I get now is with the truck stationary. Should be no problem when running.

Fortunately there's nothing flammable where my exhaust runs under the toolbox. The combustion air intake is in the tool box, while the air to be heated will be pulled from the cab although right now it's in the toolbox as well. Although physically isolated from the exhaust, there are enough...

Put mine in the tool box under the cab, plumbed the exhaust under the box, getting a little exhaust smell in the cab though. Have drilled the holes to duct air intake from the cab, which should eliminate the problem, just have to run the ducting. The tool box is next to the truck's fuel tank...

\ 12V, I'd already installed a 12V circuit in the rig. Wired it directly to a 30 Amp inverter. The heater's wiring harness came with an in-line 20 amp fuse.

Just installed an 8KW Voyocht, 12 Volt in my M813. Once up to temp, heats the cab in minutes. Went with this model for a few reasons. First it's all metal construction, most of these are made of plastic. Second, the kit came with parts I would have had to purchase separately and finally it had...

You're living in a vehicle that makes the roads 4X4 enthusiasts get stuck on why would you staying at an RV park?

Meh, I was using up some old paint...

No beginning mileage, in fact the policy automatically renewed this year, and no one asked how many miles I put on.

Also don't get to reminisce to much on steam but back in the 90's I was working on museum steam engines. Rebuilding and documenting some of Mystic Seaports recips. Which got me in to diesels...there back on topic. :rolleyes:

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition...yup, dating myself again.

Replaced the exhaust pipe. Bought a new one from Eastern Surplus and Equipment. The old one had rotted out at the elbow. Tried to repair using JB Weld Exhaust Weld Wrap. It lasted about a year before blowing out. Three of the 3/4 inch bolts were accessible using an impact wrench, the fourth with...

I feel your pain, had to replace the lower one. Had it custom fabricated. The old one was deeply pitted where water had accumulated in the crook of that cross member.

Was it the upper or lower line that needed replacement?
