    Winter idle

    Starts the dies - But......

    Did you replace the curly Q rubber hose to the Lift Pump. When I changed my LP several years ago, mine was pretty cracked on both ends. Do you still have the Water separator? or the 2 hoses connected together? I read it can be a problem. It could be your Lift Pump, been reading they are short...

    Gunson 7708 Timing Adaptor

    The Gunson may be similar to the Ferrett. I have the Ferrett and use the Nova model 3568 Timing Light. It has the Advance and Tach. Push a button and change`s the timing to where you want it set to. Bought the Nova off Amazon or E-Bay. Here is a YT Vid showing how to use the Ferrett set up. He...

    ATF in fuel filter

    If you decide to remove the top, be sure to clean off the dirt first so you don`t get any inside the pump. I usually blow things loke that off with some Carb Cleaner. I evaporates quickly, and don`t be smoking when doing it. Really nothing to clean off the FSS. They work or do not. It`s a...

    ATF in fuel filter

    I kinda agree, start your own thread with info on the truck, year, where ya got it, did it sit for 10 years in a field before you got it etc... You said you drained the old fuel, how old was it? Diesel isn`t like gas where it will go bad in a short time. When I got the 86 10 years ago, guy I got...

    How many of you guys are running a water separator?

    I have a Racor FG500 mounted in the area where the factory Water separator was. Has a replaceable inner Filter comes in 2, 10 & 30 Micron, plus a large clear bowl on the bottom with a drain. I use the 2 Micron. If you have Cruise Control, that thing is in the way, I don`t have it on this 86. On...

    Took some life away from my starter today

    I doubt it melted off. My guess is was cracked from years of vibration, and finally came apart. Looks like the other 1/2 is still under the Nut. Long cranking on the Starter isn`t good. 30 sec of cranking and 3 min cool down between cranking sessions. We have all been guilty of not sticking to...

    ZD1A and ZD28 Glow Plugs from RA

    I was going to answer this last month when this thread was running. then it slips to page 2 etc... The ZD-1 and ZD-28 bags, all had the hole punched in them. Not a complete hole punched out, but can see the imprint and a circle with small holes in the imprint. Don`t remember if the MC ZD-1...

    Took some life away from my starter today

    I was looking at that guys site for GP Harness for the 86. Mine has seen better days. The original has the wires for the IP FSS, Cold Timing, and some in block sensors on both sides. But his and other sellers Harnesses only are for the GP`s. I was thinking it would be a complete harness, guess...

    Took some life away from my starter today

    Since Iam spending your money....LOL Get a Power Master 9050 Starter. If your Battery Cables are original, and probably cracked from one end to the other like mine were on my 86, Have new one`s made. I went with Ring terminal`s on both ends. You could have internal corrosion you don`t see. Have...

    My 86 single cab weighs in at 5620 Lbs, 38 Gal rear tank and 19 Gal front and a T-19 trans. 12pilgrim that sure is a purdy Bull Nose, Must have had a pampered prior life. Same color combo as the 87 4 x 4 I picked up last spring for $2K and 130K miles. But had a hard prior life. Goat
