RW, If you believe there is a mechanical problem with the valve train, then your gas motor experience will serve you. You should be able to listen and determine if the engine noise is valve related because things on the top turn at 1/2 of crank speed. The exhaust report can also be used for...

I agree with GR: Reality is a concept! Boo to naysayers! Go on up there and figure out how to make it run and bring her home! The I95 corridor looks beautiful at 50mph! Rick

Goldwing, I am not trying to be obtuse or difficult, however yours is a perfect example of the missing details I am encountering. Notice that the base is included in the offer, however there are no specs on the thread size or pitch for the filter to screw onto. Also there is no replacement...

Slayer, thanks for distilling and presenting what I believe to be the final word on reclaiming alternative fuels. I am torn between the two choices: filtering (cheap:grin:) and centrifuging (expensive:(). Both choices pay for themselves by reducing your diesel fuel purchases, so any argument...

Hey guys, great info on filters for cleaning WMO. I believe my question is not a hi-jack...... Are you guys also filtering to eliminate water? I see that Fleetguard, Fram, Racor and just about everyone who offers diesel fuel filters has a "fuel water separator" filter available. They are not...

I'd use brake cleaner if it was a small area, but a few cans of brake cleaner can get expensive. For larger areas (fuel tank spills) I have used a mild detergent in hot water, applied with a medium bristle hand brush. After cleaning, the prints and stains may still show, due to the porous...

Well, you have a ready made name if you are into naming your rides: SGT Brown. Sounds and looks like you had a good time. I hope the truck serves you well. Rick

Welcome was-a-lurker myitinaw and thanks for piping up! Rick

Oh, my. Rick

My I be the first to say: nopics

Wreckerman, I thought cleaning WMO required a centrifuge and electrical power, but there seems to be more and more articles about filtering the oil as an cost effective alternative. The entry cost of a centrifuge has kept me from embarking on my own collection/reclamation of used oil...

Haven't done some of the work y'all have so I went with the P/B mechanism mounting bolts between the floor of the cab and the tool box top. Wasn't that bad but still. Rick

Hi Shags! I would suggest a CUCV for beach cruzin and extracting the tourists simply because operating the winch on a deuce is hard work! A warn winch on the front of a blazer or 1 ton pick up is way easier to handle and of course if you get yourself dug in, which would you rather dig out...

I am unable to expand the .jpeg diagram you posted. I assume the purple wire that energizes the starter relay emanates from the P/N safety switch, is that correct? If so, then I suggest: a) Jumper the P/N switch harness. Make a short wire jumper and connect the 24v power in terminal to the...

That's a long way Warren, why not go get it, fix it up and drive it home? Otherwise you can utilize uShip - The Online Shipping Marketplace - Ship Freight, Furniture, Cars or Moves to have haulers bid on your need for transport. Our wonderful website has an area titled "Transportation Needs"...

Before you buy anything you could apply 24v to the purple wire (with the truck in park) and see if it cranks. Rick

I need a job, this place is getting to me...

"Goat Sucker"? Que loco. Rick

chupa who gave you that screen name, was it maddawg308? Rick

Hey, good luck with your trip! I have a few suggestions to reduce the stress: Perform the recovery as early in the day as possible, as a lack of light causes stress and can cause missed ques regarding possible issues and problems. Communications between the recovered vehicle and support...
