The pump really needs to be pulled to change out those shaft seals. Think of it this way. If those seals are leaking from being 25 years old, how are the plastic pieces inside the pump doing? Might as well just pull it once, get the IP redone or replaced and then go back to not giving the...

Slave starting. If the firewall mounted glow plug resistor is removed or bypassed. It is still ok to slave start the truck as long as the front battery has 12 volts or more. Basically, have at least one good battery of the two and make sure it is the front one. If both are bad, do the two...

Great, just call me at work or on my cell Tuesday and I will try to arrange to be off Wednesday while you guys are here. 8-10 hours from me to Warthog in OKC. He has a great place to park the trucks and do any work about 2 minutes off I-35.

Tuesday is my busy day of the week. A meeting I can't get out of at work until 1600 and Scouts starting at 1800. I will be at my work number I sent you until 1330. After that, call the same main number and extention 4203. You will get my wife Jennifer and she will get anything to me. The...

24 Volt diaphram operated transfer pumps will run off the truck and move anything from gear oil to gasoline. The gear pumps at TSC say they are only rated for gasoline and diesel. They say no oil! The SBC oil pump thing works fine but is slow. Blocking off the relief valve as they suggest...

The spare tire carrier was designed for 11.00-20 tires. The M34 was the first vehicle in the series and it had 11.00 tires from the start. Since you are prepping for a long recovery. Buy a glad hand, quick connects and such that you need to hook an air hose to the passenger rear trailer air...

Start with what the manuals say to start with. Are both your batteries fully charged? Have them load tested to make sure they are good. Have you checked all the battery wires for clean connections and power? Have you read the troubleshooting section of the -20?

Could your bendix or gear drive be stuck out and still contacting the flywheel? That would keep it from being able to come free. Bolt it back up and turn the engine over with a wrench on the front of the crank. When you hear the drive gear come back, unbolt it and don't let it hit you on the...

Are you asking about a stock 230 engine starter motor removal? Undo the wire, pull the two bolts and it will fall on your head if you wiggle with it enough. Actually, I do them from the top just so they won't fall on my head.

Here is my documented mileage from a trip a few months ago. M1009 pulling a 1300 pound M101A2 with about 500-1000 pounds of gear loaded in the trailer and the truck. I drove 248 miles at gps regulated 60-62 mph in one run. Fuel station to fuel station. 17.8 mpg. The return trip was over some...

Been there done that. I was looking for a picture a while ago and found the one of me painting my 1952 Gasser bare frame on New years Eve 2007. Nothing beats a Gasser for pure mechanical coolness and mechanical noise going down the road.

Hmmm...Didn't I read somewhere that you are trying to clean out your barn?

Sorry I can't help either. I got family stuff going on and a recovery 100 miles the other direction. I spent Chrstmas day at two different family events on different sides of Sugarland. Let us know the next time you are down here.

I looked him up. Now I know who you are talking about. Too bad you aren't bringing a Duece down, then you could stop and load up.

How fast are you going on the highway? Keep the engine below 2200 rpm and you should be around 20 mpg. Keep it below 2000 rpm and you should be up near 23 or more. Measure your tires actual size and plug that into a ratio calculator to figure out what speed crosses over to the rpms...

Sounds like you have it figured out. Mine will shift hard and late if I just ease up to 35 mph. If I am in the power, it shifts nice and smooth. The 1-2 shift is about like you describe.

Chris, I don't know who Carl is. You both have my cell number. I will be at work until 1630 each day next week though. I will send Rich exact directions to my house and work phone number. The GSA truck will be up front with easy access. Colton gets home from school around 1545, he knows...

If you had audible suction at the fuel filter. My first thought is the in tank pick up tube/sock is clogged up. Have you dropped the tank and gotten any goo out of there?

Here are his pictures. Hmm, well it seems only 1 of the 3 he sent me will load up.

Do the above and check the condition of the rear battery. If it is bad, the starter won't turn very fast and all the load will go to the front battery.
