    Mixed used oils for fuel

    Right, nobody wants to replace filters every time or every other time they run a batch of fuel. That gets expensive and counterproductive.

    goldneagle's 1985 M1008 recovery and restoration thread...

    Zev, you **should** be able to use an entire drop in fuel pump and hanger assembly from a 93' Chevy half ton pickup. It should drop right into the fuel tank. Otherwise you will need to find the frame mounted cartridge style pump. Either way it needs to be run directly inline with the existing...

    Mixed used oils for fuel

    Also, your draw height depends on the size tank you are using. My 600 gallon tanks collect 4-6" of water in the bottom fairly quickly just from condensation. The smaller the tank, the less quickly and badly they collect water.

    Mixed used oils for fuel

    Think more along the lines of: 30 or 40 mesh screen filter, 10 or 12 micron filter with water separator, 5 or 6 micron filter, then a 2 micron. You'll get longer filter life and better serviceability this way. Whatever filters you decide to use, it is good practice to always have a mesh screen...

    Mixed used oils for fuel

    Like they said, just make sure it is water free and run it through some good filters. You can NEVER filter too much. Remember that.

    Sounds like an electric lift pump would be a good investment for you ( even with the broken pushrod). No reason you can't run an electric lift pump and a mechanical lift pump together. Neither pump should override the other, but it could help keep you from getting stranded.

    Cold Weather and heat-M998

    I'd put an H45 heater in the center flat section and run the flu pipe up out the gunner hatch.

    Condensation and milkshake in my trucks valve cover

    If you are losing coolant with no apparent sign of leaks, you should warm the engine up, get up on the driver side fender, then reach down to the throttle linkage and do some engine revving while watching the radiator cap. They tend to leak there and the coolant blows around and dries up leaving...

    Missing ring gear?

    I bet it is! I was thinking the same thing.

    Missing ring gear?

    Agreed. I would pull the starter first and take a look. If the flywheel has teeth, you are probably good to go. The starter drive is probably toast.

    Condensation and milkshake in my trucks valve cover

    Yes, find an overflow bottle and plumb it to the overflow line. If your line is solidly plugged, cut it above the plug point and plumb the overflow tank hose in there. It is not just a catch can if you use an actual coolant overflow bottle. You can get universal coolant catch bottles at most...

    A3 Parking Brake Shoes Install Problem

    That'll be cracked rubber fuel line between the metal line and the primary fuel filter in the wheel well.

    Rear Anti Sway Bar needed.

    If you decide to build your own, any good spring shop should be able to temper it for you. Otherwise, Kenny have you some good search material there.

    Rear Anti Sway Bar needed.

    You could build one if you have a torch, welding machine, and a water hose. Use some 1"cold rolled solid bar and heat and bend it, flaw ten the ends and drill holes, then temper it yourself or have it tempered.

    Just bought an M923 and I have several questions

    It's the fan clutch. Take the belt off and run it, I bet the sound goes away.

    Glad to see things are moving along. One of these days that truck will run down the road again.
