Ideas and thoughts: Maybe make it a skid-mounted unit and put it on a trailer and take it on/off so it is not a single purpose trailer. I would use some hard pipe and put some distance to the tank from burners so if you have a flame up you can turn the tank off and or master valve. I have had...

I use a home made single burner and have a store bought one. Here is home made one.

Looks like a nice truck. I have seen some old power wagons and square bodies that I would have liked to have. There was a guy near where I use to live that restored an old Coke delivery truck pre WWII. I like those old original restorations.

This one?

Another version of the above.

Or you could be referring to a gripping wrench like this. I have seen them in open end and a boxed end style. Both the ratcheing and these type I sorta felt like they had better be high quality steel - same with adjustable wrenches needed to be good quality or they could easily round off stuff.

I have seen similar speed or ratcheting open end wrenches. I have never used any but have been curious about them. I'll give a plug for the adjustable wrenches with the tightening or locking adjustment mechanism. I received some for an xmas gift and have found them useful. They get a good...

A solenoid generally will burn itself to a short if it can't travel to the point the induction flux is balanced reducing current thru the coil just like inrush current of an electric motor if it can't reach synchronous speed soon enough. Sometimes motors are limited to certain starts per hour...

The fuel metering solenoid has to be set to the proper depth so it strokes correctly. I think the window is pretty small. The "cone/needle" and seat of the closure mechanism has to seal and the solenoid has to be at the complete stroke or it would burn out trying to continue to draw higher...

What do you want to do with the timing? Having messed with the timing its a lot of electronic manipulation. You move the IP to set base time and then check top dead center offset. My understanding is the ECM then makes adjustments to timing due to programming. I am not sure you could...

Curious what regulation is forcing it off road? Or is it just pain of $ to keep it passing “smog tests”.

My gut tells me .... Looks like reworded and rebadged Cetane improver. Its just different verbage for improving ignition similarly like improving Cetane number.

No way to test PMD for continuity that I know. I did see a website a long time ago that talked about looking at the output on an oscilloscope and checking its waveform. But I don't know procedure or pin or what the waveform looks like. Sorta a test you have to know its injecting fuel to think...

Yep, PMD/FSD - pump mounted driver or fuel solenoid driver is a prime suspect. It was a weak link on these trucks. They failed in a number of ways with many doing just that engine stalls or dies like you cut the key switch off then IP won't send any fuel to the injectors. No OBD codes are...

So was this an occasional driver and has been parked for too long (a season) and just doesn't want to start up and run but cranks over fast. Or was this all of a sudden running fine driven regularly but turned into a no start situation in last couple of weeks?

Score

Welcome to the forum. Yep fuel in doesn't guarantee fuel out of IP. Look over the diagnostic checklist posted on here for ideas and all the stuff we need to know to give targeted ideas. Broadly RPM, temperature, fuel are key but details needed including introductions etc...

Are there any brake codes in older trucks like the later years? There are a few different codes listed for later years depending on brake build. ie 6 lug vs 8 2500's I believe are different for the 90's. Can you find the part numbers looking them up on rock auto or a GM parts website to see if...

1 tire same brand etc. 10k miles shouldn’t be a problem. Probably difference in air pressure and or front to back bias. Wife has a BMW X5. It’s full time all wheel drive with traction control. I was able to patch a tire but asked in case it’s not repairable would I have to get 2 or 4...

Stoney that is not the case. I think you are thinking of conservation of mass. Yes, the same amount of water or air will pass through something that goes from round to oval and back to round (just measuring individually) but the drag through a change of shape is somewhat like a direction...
