    Maybe a 911?

    Then I'm going to guess that this engine came out of a truck and they didn't change the pump. :-/

    Maybe a 911?

    Something I've been wondering about since we got this rig, are there different power steering pumps for vans and trucks, or are they always buried and hard to get to.

    Maybe a 911?

    Thanks, I figured it wasn't all out, and don't expect it to be running great yet, I'm just happy it started up easy after these last few years and a colony of packrats having taken up residence. :-] Now that it's back to being mine, and I'm the wrench this time, I'll fix a lot of the little...

    Maybe a 911?

    Cracked all the hard lines at the injectors and had fuel almost right away. Tightened them back up, reinstalled the air cleaner, and spent loads of time trying to find something that I could get to the opening on it in case of a run-away. Turned it over maybe 5 sec and it field up, a little...

    And definitely no trace of a relay on the pass fender.

    Maybe a 911?

    Ok, played around w/ that for a while and at the moment it engages the starter. :-D So now I need to bleed the air out of the fuel system. Being alone I figured I'd pull the core out of the Schrader and turn it over that way till I get some fuel. Any reason not to?

    Maybe a 911?

    I'm not sure how to test it and turn the key to start at the same time. :-|

    Maybe a 911?

    I think mine is on the starter, yes? So that would make it new. I'll get back under there and see if I get a reading.

    Maybe a 911?

    Made it back to camp today w/ the new starter finally. Install went ok. So now when I attempt to start w/ the key, I still get the same response. But I crawled back underneath and w/ a quick jump will cause it to engage. So no problem w/ the starter now. What would I be looking for between...

    My next Deuce project

    Did you ever get that dropside pretty'd up? Nice towbar as well. I just picked one up a few months ago.

    Tatra 815

    Could always go w/ a HEMMIT. They are available here and have been made street legal.

    Maybe a 911?

    I had forgotten that the last starter was a napa w/ lifetime warranty. So, new starter for free! :-] I'll get a ride back out to my camp tomorrow and see how it goes from there. While I'm doing all this stuff to get it running again I've been working on some upgrades as well. I bought a...

    Maybe a 911?

    Not sure why the engine would be froze up, it was the famous "ran when parked". :-] I pulled the starter (had forgotten that you need a long extention on the driver to remove that top bolt. :-| ) and did the "on the ground w/ jumpers test. I did finally get it to spin but it sounded really...

    Ok, guess I'll find a ride to town and get another one. Thanks.

    Maybe a 911?

    Batts read 12.6. There are only two contacts on the selanoid and I get hot sparks from jumping them but no motion in the starter.

    Maybe a 911?

    I'm not sure this should be in the 911 subforum, so I'm starting here. To start w/ this is my live-in rig. I have it out on dispersed camping. I towed it here after it being stored for a few years and getting taken over by packrats. My daily driver (a deuce and a half) just decided to blow...

    Chasing the prime!

    I also use the nylon fuel lines for diesel. It's the stuff from the Depot that will swell over time and fail. Not sure what that's made of. . . . sent without me knowing . . .

    Smoked AC compressor

    ok, have a bypass pulley and want to pull the compressor. (yes the bearing was bad, making grim noises, . . .) Did some searching and found nothing. What am I going to need to do when pulling it? None of my books want to tell and I haven't found a good thread here. If someone knows of one and...

    What happened to the updates? I love these kind of threads, . . . being that I have a house truck building fetish. :)

    Smoked AC compressor

    Thanks Chris and Ican. No concerns w/ something that simple, now opening up an E40D that's concerning ;) No yards around here so I just practics on my own. Mostly I wrench on my M35A2, lots of room to work in. I do know that the plastic plug on the compressor was not melted in any way, so...

    Smoked AC compressor

    Which bearings are we talking about here? Are you saying the it may still fail even w/ the compressor off?
