I I Sweet, thanks. I'll see what I run into. The tank and all of it's lines and fittings were all custom made about 9 years ago, after speaking with the previous owner over the weekend. I got the line to the tank disconnected, but didn't have the correct wrench to get the fitting out...

Good to consider. Would you mind sharing how much that costed, and roughly what the process was like?

I finally got around to testing more and replacing the filters. It has the dual spin on upgrade, with the water separator and particle filter. Using NAPA filters. Last night, before replacing the filters, I opened the water separator and drained it until a steady stream of diesel poured. I...

Going to try replacing the fuel filters with my next check. It has the dual spin on upgrade, just NAPA filters.

When I got back from driving yesterday and was draining the tanks, I heard the engine start to idle erratically - it would bog down, then speed up, but not quite surge. Blipping the throttle didn't make any difference. I left it on the block heater all night and started it again today, and it...

Hell yes, thank you. Best solution.

Not sure yet, haven't dug into it yet, but am going to soon, as I want to remove the vent running along the center of the ceiling and remove the AC unit. I knoe asbestos was banned in 1989, and these trucks often underwent revisions in 2012-ish. When I spoke to Dave at Eastern Surplus, he...

Got down to the negatives this weekend, with a high of 4F. Some winter diesel with antigel, a block heater from Army 6x6 LLC, and a few shots of ether started it up well enough, the purge valve kept popping off, lines froze again, but only for a very short period of time, they unfroze while I...

After a lot of looking around, I got a hold of Jim Cox at Army 6x6, who walked me through testing. I followed the black line pictured above to the back of the transfer case, and noticed the piston housing, and disassembled it by bending the locking tabs on the bolt heads back with a hammer and...

Sweet. I'll try to get some after I get a few more things done. Thanks a bunch.

Thanks, I'll do some research. I've thought about getting auto drains. I can purchase a 12v stepdown for about $15, so that's not a problem, I did that for the camera system. Sounds like it's pretty simple. Do they just replace the factory drainvalves? Or are they positioned in-line behind...

Got the lines thawed the other day, cracked the 3rd drainvalve for the wet tank, and a ton of liquid burst out. I wasn't quite certain where the exit point on the drainvalves were, but after the clog busted, I see that it is in the center, and that all of the valves were clogged. I dug at...

[1986 M934A1] I've been trying to engage the front axle, but it doesn't appear to be working. The switch on the dash will flip once I've built up to 90psi, light will come on, but nothing else happens. Switching to low range doesn't do anything either. After investigating, I see where two...

Yeah, I'm gonna hold off on antifreeze. I've got a dryer and ABS. I'll try to get to that tomorrow. Thanks a bunch.

I'm guessing they just didn't come with hookups for the heater. I found another video of a guy servicing one of these on a 900 series and his heater plug was disconnected as well. If I'm understanding correctly, the heater is mostly for the blowoff, but my blowoff was working, I just wasn't...
