Thanks to all of you for this information.
The only thing I have to say is I have soaked a brake cylinder cup intended to be used in Dot 3 in my Dot 5 fluid and it swelled up to a very large size.
The problem is with all of this information it is still not clear if you can just change a Dot 3...

I [purchased a new master cylinder and wheel cylinder from one of the surplus companies.

Hi
FER: M929
I have a question.
Someone told me there was a kit to replace the fuel filter with a “spin on” fuel filter.

Hello All
Now I have a new problem again.
This truck will start cold and run until it reaches normal temperatures then it shuts off.
It will start back up but requires some more cranking time than normal but will run again for about 10 min and do it again.
I have pressure tested the system...
Thanks for that but I have the parts book and came up with the same number.
However so far neither NAPA nor Advance has been able to cross reference those numbers.
I haven’t tried O’Reilly auto parts yet.
I ran out of time yesterday so will try them tomorrow.
I found a company on the...

Thanks I forgot about that.
It is a Cummings 250 no turbo.
Here is the picture I have of the data tag.

The truck has been doing quite well even if it does get stuck a lot.
The power steering belts failed and the pieces went thru the fan drive belts so I need to change all 4 belts.
Can someone give me the part number for these belts?

Hi
Here is the latest video.

It would crank and sound like it was going to run...

If I had that plate life would be much easier. LOL
Thanks for the service advice it has a winch that the previous owner has disconnected the controls to.
This truck will get more severe service than the military could ever give it short of blowing it up with artillery.
I am sure...
Hello
Well we have run into a fuel system problem.
It looks like the truck sat for a very long time with a little fuel it and that has turned to a gooey brown substance that is pretty easy to clean with Xylol.
It looks like it didn’t make it to the injection pump.
I need a fuel filter can...
