UPDATE: The Good News: Well, got the radiator back in and filled it up with distilled water, at least its not leaking so far. We'll see what happens once I start the truck. The Bad News: (why does bad news always seem to be longer.....) I don't know why I hadn't already done this back when I...

Yeah, if it gets stuck again, I'm going to follow your guide and take it all apart and clean it right. BTW Thanks for making that thread and all the photos [thumbzup]

Yes, I know my tapping with a hammer isn't the right way to fix it. But it did at the very least tell me what the issue was with certainty. And it got the truck going at that moment. And yes you may be right in the fact that fuel doesn't get to the parts that stuck. I was thinking it did...

Hummm.... I could have sworn I saw where it was better... thanks for the link. Don't have anywhere to get biodiesel around here, so guess I'll stick with 2-cycle oil. I had already bought some for that purpose anyway.

Yeah, I know, and you're right actually. We chuck the tires anyway, and where we have it parked normally, it isn't going anywhere.

PU :D (Post Update): Since I mentioned it earlier, thought I would follow up in this thread too. We at least got the deuce running today! It was the stop plunger in the IP. Another SS member sent a link to one of GP's threads, about how to take the side cover off the IP and remove the stop...

[thumbzup][thumbzup][thumbzup] THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! [thumbzup][thumbzup][thumbzup] After reading GP's thread that you linked, on how to take the stop plunger out the IP... I thought well, if its just stuck "a little bit", before I take all that apart, I wonder if I can...

oh great... "fixing" the pump could cause the engine to run away... well, this is definitely a two person job...

:-| i don't know... haven't ever dug into the IP... was really hoping to avoid such... but I guess thats next...

just added a few things to my original post

Hey all... just when I was finishing up on our M1008 truck (which had blown a head gasket...) now our deuce won't start, which is something we've never had a single issue with before in the last 6 years we've owned it. It usually starts right up almost as soon as you hit the start button. We...

Update.... well I never heard back from the radiator shop yesterday, I even called them and no one even answered. So I left a message, never got a call... and at this point I don't expect to until monday... its not that it is going to take to monday that aggravates me... its that I was told...

Yep, good stuff. I'm using the chemical resistant "propane gas line" tape.

I posted this last night... but I posted it on the wrong thread :doh: ----------- Been kind of down the last couple days, but just wanted to post a quick update. We took the radiator to a repair shop today, they said they should have it fixed tomorrow [friday], so we'll see. I did pick up a...

post deleted... posted on wrong thread :doh:

Did genesis auto parts go out of business or ?? The link doesn't work anymore, and even the main page of the site doesn't come up. Instead you get a "godaddy" advertising page, and its states "This domain name expired on 8/7/2017 and is pending renewal or deletion." With that said, anyone know...

Yeah, this napa one has metal tanks, and now I actually would say the plastic tanks are better (so long as they don't crack like this other truck we've been using did), over the box store metal tanks, as these metal ones are flaking off alot of paint and are already starting to rust, and its...

LoL Well... Here is my UPDATE: I finally figured out where a "mystery" fuel line coming off the fuel filter base which I had been looking at for a week thinking it was the drain... it was a rubber hose with what looked like a piece of brake line with fitting stuck in the end and hose...

any reason not to put a temp sensor for a temperature gauge, in the same place as the idiot light temp sensor, except on the opposite head? EDIT: HA i got a good reason... there isn't any port there. I could have sworn I saw a plug there... oh well. I'll figure out somewhere to put it.

AH ok , forgot all about the temp for the high idle ... So thats the passenger side head? ------------- EDIT: Just looked at it again, has to be the passenger's side head, as there is no place on the rear of drivers side Thanks again for the info! [thumbzup]
