Robert Holloway Holder Yes sir...miss that joint! We used to hang out at the Yellow Rose too....where George Strait and Merle Haggard would be the dance band....great memories.

Steven Briola Sorry I missed this earlier Steve - was off to the MVPA Convention. Did you pack those bearings well when you installed them? Let's chat through this on a Friday Office Hours.

Robert Holloway Holder We can't get that non al-key-haul gas here in the People's Republic of NJ😳

Luke Jones That is a great tool to have and would do a perfect job Luke. I have had several opportunities to pick one up... a little tight in the shop. 😎

Andrew Lang Funny you should ask....it is cleaned and ready for reassembly....so yes!

Thank you sir! Intermittent fuel pump is a real head scratcher....hard to diagnose that one. The glass bowl is a great idea. We usually have one in the shop for that purpose..... switch them back out after things are working to keep the rivet counters at bay! 😀 

No sir. The People's Republic of NJ doesn't allow the sale. There is a place up near Port Jervis...about 30 miles away....I should get gas there...but.....Maybe we need to purchase a WW2 CCKW gasoline tanker! That's the ticket!

This! I had a customer call up because he had just purchased a Sherman tank. Big $$$. He thought $400 for about 10 manuals (including a two volume 1000 page parts manual) was crazy. I had to ask him how much he paid for the tank. He was a good sport, laughed and bought all the manuals. More importantly for him...no second chances playing with a tank. These systems can hurt you or the machine. 

Thanks John! Excellent description - we will be getting into this in part 2. Turns out that not venting causes all kinds of strange problems!

Always a delight to hear from you Jay. I enjoy your comments. Yes...on that getting things right. Many times, I stop and ask myself why I tolerate something that isn't right. There are usually "good" reasons, but man it feels better to be a guy who ditches the excuse and just gets her done! My ongoing shop cleanup.......is going to happen!  As for those fording systems...extremely cool...but a mess that I really don't generally want to subject my vehicle to.....I had a friend who took a beautifully refurbed deuce/5ton though a flood and as "fishing" fishes out of the cab along with about 50lbs of sediment. Cheers and thanks for supporting!
