Sold the trailer so I had to move the stuff to the deuce.
After I sold the shelter I didn't need all the cargo room haha.
Couple pics to give y'all an visual of the roller and winch in action. I need to make a platform to do this better, the wooden crate won't hold up to repeated use.
It's a MUST expanding shelter, weight is around 4k pounds.
The skid only dragged about halfway across the bed, no real signs of wear. I've sold that shelter.
A wooden board under the skid would prevent any wear concerns.
Ordered a raptor 150hp. Rated for 75psi and 150 gallons per hour. Higher flow rate than required but the pressure capability is what's required.
Runs on 12 volts so the second alternator is going on before the trip.
This all had to happen right before the trip didn't it. Costing more money...
Another option is a winch and bed roller like I'm using. Moved the bed back a few inches, mounted a winch. Cable runs over the roller down to the bottom front of whatever I need to pick up, then pulls it right on up in the bed.
I'd argue that. Yes the rotors will probably warp and need to be turned but they would stop the truck faster.
But, more rotors helps spread the load and reduce the heat
To cover both emergency brakes and a long term parking brake could use the rotors from a Chevy 2500 pickup with eldorado calipers. Nice and thick rotors that are cheap/easy to replace, with a mechanical parking brake built in.
Borrowing a picture from another thread. I plugged the relief valve port on the high pressure pump, no change. Unless there is something I'm missing with diagnostics, the HP pump is dead. Would explain why I always had longer crank times to start before (worn out).
Haven't found a stock...
All new DOT fuel lines, 1/2 inch. Brand new filters as well. I drove 15 hours with these fuel lines and the old filters. Tank looks clean inside and the pickup screen on the old fuel pump looks fine.
Moved the pressure gauge along the system and here's the readings with lift pump only.
Tank...
