do you mind bringing that MIG? I have a exhaust bracket that needs some TLC.

As far as everything else needed for your job, it should be up there.

Can you hold off a few weeks? Wanna get some crap cleaned out of there first.

 

[PRattenbury]

I can bring the mig. I'll bring the smoke wrench too, if you want. Both need their bottles filled. I can stop at ABCO during the week and do that.

 

[PRattenbury]

Oh that just hurts!

 

[PRattenbury]

Eh, the truck runs, so I guess it's no emergency. Scott didn't make a huge deal of it when I was up there. He just said replace it at my earliest convenience. So, I guess it's not convenient yet.

 

[Latenight6]

no problem marc ill hang onto it gives me a few weeks to build it anyways i had no time. did you call up dan (DMcPherson) at metro power in rocky hill im sure he can help you out with the lift pump. I have his number just ask me for when i come up tonight

[Moose Truck]

It looks like the moose is getting a new lift pump for Friday Oo. It's a GDP GFS-392 Lift Pump System '98. 5-'02 90 GPM Good bye Mr. Carter!!! Should have bought a FASS or this GDP a year and 1/2 ago!! Any rate, Should be quick Install. Just need some one w/ small hands and two elbows to get the orginal fuel line off of the tank and the new one on Moose00

 

[JSienkowski]

Looks like truck is getting fixed while I'm on vacation!!! Hopefully I'll be able to stop down the 2nd friday in August!! Just gotta find a wrecker to follow me!

 

[TClemens]

Moose thats a nice system, I have benn eyeing it myself, I ended up doing a pusher pump along with my stock pump, once I decide to get rid of this setup the Glacier pump kit will go in

 

[PRattenbury]

I want to replace the plug in the front end of my P-pump with a different one. Is there a way to get the top of the front case out of the way to get the plug out? Or does the pump have to come off?

 

[PRattenbury]

Oh, yeah. Lots of trucks probably lose a little oil between changes. Mine seems to gain it. Must be fuel gettin in somewhere. Anyway, the truck was about a quart over full, so I decided it was time to do a change. That's when I discovered there must be some sort of special tool or a trick required to get the oil filter out, because it's definitely not in a nice spot. Is there a particular filter wrench I should be using, or one of those filter sockets?? I ended up just leaving the filter in place and putting in new oil for now. I have 5 gallons of Royal Purple coming, and I need to find a place to get Fleetguard filters. Probably just as well I didn't put that POS Fram in anyway.

 

[JSienkowski]

I found removing the air intake off of the turbo and using a strap wrench seems to work OK

 

[PRattenbury]

I have a strap wrench with a short pivoting handle. I'll try to get at it the way you said when the Purple gets here and I find a Fleetguard filter. Thanks.

 

[JSienkowski]

The hardest part will be getting the wrench under the filter, it just takes a few minutes of fiddeling
