Finally made some truck time!!
Its been a little out of control summer, so I havent had a free moment to work on the truck! We had put water in the cooling system back in july cause I didn't have an antifreeze at 2am when Paul and I went to start it. Should I have let this slip by and ruin the drivetrain over winter I knew the g749 child protective services would come down hard on me, so I was fresh out of excuses, had to get her working. Of course some m@#$n had to cut the original fuel pump connectors, so I had to jimmy, the jimmy.
First I needed to swap the fuel pump for the M207 over to the 211. Man that Canadian truck had a super clean tank, gaskets, and the works on it, so it would've made more sense to swap tanks, but due to time constraints I just swapped pumps. Got the carb dialed in and running pretty good. Now she can move under her own power! Have all forward and reverse gears high and low. What a blast to drive!

Next up the old dog wasn't charging. Checked and had power to the regulator. Looking over the schematic I noticed there were two wiring configurations and seeing as how we swapped harnesses over I started suspecting there was maybe two different regulators. Checking the M207, its regulator was a different number than the M211 I swapped over regulator and there you have it a charging M211!

Up next I would like to get check the tranny pressures over, maybe totally change the oil and do the brakes. Sure am happy to have her up and running! Also does anyone know the part number for the hose that goes from the air compressor regulator to the firewall? ?Mine is leaking and havent been able to find a number!!
