I purchased my in tank pump from Olympic Controls for $225. I found out the hard way that the original pump was bad when I couldn't reprime the fuel system after replacing the fuel filters. My truck only had 276 hours on the clock FYI, but the pump was most likely 18 years old. That's the last...

You could always start by looking at my albums. :wink: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/members/jinx-albums.html

It's a gamble with GL. I was lucky and got a great truck. Would I do it again? Probably would.

Sounds like it could be a bad injector pump.

You could fill one out, but you couldn't submit it. GL needs the invoice number of the winning auction to get you approved. Plus they are severely backed up with paperwork as it is. I doubt they would like to approve people that haven't won yet.

Without seeing the frame, that deuce looks totally restorable.

What did you do about the turbo? You said it was bad. I remember reading that the timing on these engines is different for turbos vs. non turbos. Did you replace the turbo or are you trying to start it without the turbo? It may not be starting because the truck is trying to run with a turbo, but...

Link?

Still waiting to hear from Carol at Gulfway. If I were needing to move my truck, I wouldn't be happy.

Sweet!

Why couldn't they open a branch in Washington state? Oklahoma is too far away. My notice said they have a '52 Studebaker that I'd love to check out. :cry:

You may need to get new batteries. The 24 volt system helps the starter turn over quickly. I was amazed that the starter turns over as fast as my gasoline car does. Any other 12 volt diesel tends to turn over slowly. Also the diesel could be bad. Any idea how old the fuel is? Try adding fresh...

I'm sure it's possible, but I doubt it mixes very well. Seems like the DOT 5 would stay on top and the DOT 3 would sink to the bottom.

That looks great M109guy!

Are you sure about this? My trucks registration number is 04G-23671 which by your numbering means it would be a '71. Carnac ran it through his computer and it came up as a '78. Also the SF-97 form confirmed it was a '78. The serial number (which I haven't posted here) matches the one on the...

CUCV would be perfect, IMO.

Speaking of the master cylinder cap and using a pressure bleeder, I've seen photos here where the bleeder is connected to the top of the master cylinder cap. I don't recall seeing any connection on the top of the cap on my truck. I do have a breather line attached to the side of the cap however...

Thanks for the comments guys. I was under the impression the hose was needed to block air from getting back into the system. At least that's the impression i got from the TM which tells you to submerse the other end of the tube into the fluid. Now that I think about it, this is probably done to...

First off, yes I did search. Couldn't find anything on the site or in the TM's. How much DOT 5 brake fluid do I need to bleed the brakes? I want to change out the old fluid for all new stuff. Since DOT 5 is expensive, I don't want to buy too much, but I want to have enough to get it changed...

Thank you sir!
