From one border to the other in a deuce and m105

Are you using something in place of the original pump?

 

[DavidWymore]

I'd get a gauge on it if you don't have one

Got it fired back up. The o-rings on the pump pressure regulator (pic) blew, bypassing the pressure back to the tank.

Drove to the southern side of the Grand Canyon. The North side is pretty as well, traveled there on a previous trip.

I don't know what's the current count for world wonders, but that Grand Canyon is absolutely one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

Nobody can take a bad picture of it. You get there, and just plain open the shutter:

- Bingo; you just created a photographic masterpiece!

It is amazing. I'm glad I was there to see it once. Thanks for the photos, red! And wishing you continued safe travels.

Wonder if running at altitude might be an issue; not a mechanic and don't know what altitude you're running, but starved for air, maybe?

Too much black smoke and unable to idle below 1200rpm. Loss of power. Made it to my friends house at Hill AFB.

Thinking a injector(s) is stuck open

Posting the engine problems in my build thread over in the modified deuce section

Well, looks like Hill AFB in Utah is gonna be the stopping point for this adventure. Time to start looking for a job and a place to live here

Hey, red, has that been your plan all along?

Or was your decision by other method!?

Made by the fact that my multifuel decided to destroy a valve, and some injectors stuck open requiring rebuild. Total repair cost for an engine I don't plan to keep would put me over budget to finish the trip.

Staying here works because I have friends that live in this area, I like this area, and I can get a job here.

Glad you have a friendly LZ! Thanks for sharing the adventure. Never know till ya try.

That's a great and special way to live:

- You have job skills that can travel, and

- No particular reason to stay anchored to any one place. and then

- There's this big wide Republic that honors your citizenship anywhere on the continent from "sea-to-shining sea" (CONUS).

That's pretty neat, red. Sure hope you'll keep your thread active here and let us know how it all shakes out for you. Here's my toast to you for fair winds, following seas, and the wish that long may your big job draw!

Thank you, was a fun adventure! Especially since I spent so little during the trip.

I'll keep updating the build thread on the truck. Engine swap and power steering are next! Couple months away haha
