Black stuff. I never use the paper gasket there. It is a no-pressure environment. Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

@seano11 you are the man! Glad to see MLVWs back up and running!!! Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

Government liability paranoia. After the initial batches were disabled and let go, they also branded all subsequent trucks that were released as "irrepairable," thus ensuring that the VINs could never be legally registered for road use again. Disabling took different directions. Some have...

I missed that you have an A3. My info is for the A2. In any case, the coolant temp sensor will look similar. Yes, coolant will come out, but if you are quick, you won't lose much. Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

Locate the upper radiator hose. Where the hose attaches to the engine, move towards the firewall about 3 inches. Round shaped thing with a hex and a single insulated wire connection. This pic (WhiteOwl parts) might help:

There is something immensely satisfying about having the truck all in one matching colour and not looking like it was painted with a mop!

I experimented a bit with fuel in the past. Ran it on biodiesel. Deuce did not care. Poured a quart of (new) motor oil into the tank because there is thinking about better top end lubrication. Deuce smoked more and did not care. Ran it on pure regular gasoline, with two stroke oil for...

I am just happy for @Dasgog because it sure feels good when the truck starts and runs as it should! Also, psychologically, it shows the truck who's boss! It'll think twice about failing again. My theory and I am sticking with it. On a serious note, it must be the difference in rotation speed...

Are you saying it finally pulled fuel through and now starts and runs on its own? If so, it is beneficial that you did not tow it to the edge of that canyon [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G991W using Tapatalk

Yes, it will. Don't give up. It is a problem to be solved.

Looking at the picture, the Boyce kit uses a bolt-on, belt-driven hydraulic pump.

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...

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.
