    Electric fuel pump

    When I got my fuel system finished up every fuel line & both filters were completely dry. I kicked the key on & within 30 seconds I had diesel pumping back into the tank! Sure makes it easy on the starter when changing filters.

    Electric fuel pump

    I’ve got my Facet pulling through a filter/water separator & pushing through a 2 or 3 micron filter & haven’t had a single issue yet.

    Oil filler cap

    I'm not sure if the psd oil cap will fit the IDI or not. I like what you're doing and will definitely be following your progress on this. Have you thought about removing the IP cover plate (lemon shaped piece?) & drilling & tapping it to use as a place to return the oil? Seems like it'd be an...

    Fuel tank questions

    By the way does this look like all the pieces for a complete shower head? I dug the same thing out of each tank & couldn't see anything else in either tank. Best I could tell by a few pictures on the Internet they're all there. No broken off teats or anything.

    Fuel tank questions

    Thanks everyone for your input. After doing some interweb research I think just going to R&R the sender units I have. Will be replacing the non-floating float & doing the shower head delete on both tanks. Will also probably do the vent upgrade to help with fill ups too. Now on to the new...

    Fuel tank questions

    Bed is off! I only had to cut/grind 1 of the 8 bed bolts off & will have to deal with a small rats nest of wires from where 3 different trailer plugs were added at some point. Pulled both sender units to diagnose issues & found - Front tank) float is a round metal one which just so happened to...

    Fuel tank questions

    I've never even attempted to use the big rig nozzles on this truck. I learned 20+ years ago on some IDI trucks where I used to work that those things wouldn't even get a squirt out without kicking off or spewing diesel. It just would be really nice to at least be able to use the lowest click...

    Fuel tank questions

    While I've got everything torn apart is there anything I can do to make the tanks take fuel (while filling up) any better?

    Fuel tank questions

    I have 1 fuel tank that always reads empty regardless of fuel level & the other one runs out of fuel when the gauge shows around 1/4 tank left. I've done a bunch of reading & I think I know what my problems are. I'm planning on pulling the bed & replacing the float, sender unit, & shower head...

    ZF5 question

    I appreciate the help on this. Off to the pawn shop for a 22mm socket to add to my collection!

    ZF5 question

    I'll take a look at that t case drain tomorrow morning. I was planning on doing both while I was under there but wasn't smart enough to look for the plugs on it.

    ZF5 question

    I've tried the SAE sockets I have but they didn't feel snug enough for my likings to yank on. Especially not since it looks to be an aluminum plug.

    ZF5 question

    What size metric socket fits the drain/fill plugs on these things? I'm going to have to buy one & don't have anything to measure it with. I haven't looked at the transfer case yet but is it metric as well? Thanks

    Exhaust Leak

    I'm definitely going to be replacing the clamp with a new one once I figure out which one I'll need. I was thinking about it last night & I'm wondering if the exhaust pipe might have been misaligned when the joint was made up after the reinstallation of the tranny. Is there usually enough slack...

    Exhaust Leak

    My lack of patience got the best of me on this one. Tightened clamp up enough to make the end of the t-bolt torque up & pull one end out of the clamp. Even then the joint was still gapping enough to leak.
