I didn't change out the tank but I did drop the tank and gave it a good cleaning and drying with a shop vac blowing air into it almost over night. Checked it in the morning and it was dry as a bone.

I do have a fuel pressure guage. If I keep the throttle going, I have positive fuel pressure. If I let it idle, I'm guessing the motor uses up any available fuel and kills itself from fuel starvation which is why it probably takes a good cranking before the motor starts again. I suppose I could...

On going saga... I guess the slime wasn't the main cause.... Took it for a test drive and began to experience a drop in fuel pressure so I pulled into an O'Reilly's and checked out my fuel filter. It could've used a change so I swapped it out for a new part and bled the water line and bled the...

I definitely have Leroy's in mind for the pre filter set up but I needed my truck running right away.

My truck did sit for a good 60 days while I was away for training in California and then 3 days later, the Big Island of Hawaii.

Veggie oil never went into this tank... At least not that I know of. I forgot to mention that since I had the tank out, I have it a good cleaning.

Funny thing is I know I ran some Power Service Clear Diesel a few months ago.... My O'Reilly's didn't have the Bio Kleen.

This past week my fuel pressure guage went from being ~1.5 psi to a vacuum of over 20 psi! Figured it might have been the OPS or the lift pump since I had nothing coming out of the air bleed screw on the fuel filter. Gave me a good opportunity to install the OPS extension hose from Leroy's...

My driver side plastic end tank blew while on a road trip from NC-CA attempting to go up to Yosemite during our PCS to Hawaii. Limped it with plastic weld until I got the truck in Hawaii and had a Griffin full aluminum drop in replacement ordered. Love it!

I've got no lift on mine but do you think a 4wd actuator going bad could also be a contributing factor?

I would agree that the 6 lug shaft was a breeze. I'm a pro at it at this point. Only help I needed was someone on a pry bar on the front sway bar so that I could reconnect the sway bar link. Another thing that threw me for a loop was that the reman unit that I replaced used a different hub...

O'Reilly's was nice enough to honor a warranty return!

There very well could be.... But most likely brought in from the mainland...

Good to know! Thanks again!

Thanks Thefermanator! I'll keep that in mind. I've already driven it with the busted half shaft still in place for quite a while before parking it yesterday. I definitely don't intend to keep driving it until I get the half shaft replaced.

Thanks for the advice Will. I'll do that but the question is, is it worth getting under the truck twice? I would have to remove the broke part and drive with no passenger side half shaft which I suppose will be fine as long as I don't use 4WD, take both parts to O'Reilly's deal with them and...

When it comes time for replacements, where would you get them? Since our wouldn't make sense to get them from O'Reilly's if they are shorter than what is needed.

That's the plan. I wouldn't want others to experience the same thing as me as well.

Yep Kaneohe is on Oahu the main Island of Hawaii

Yesterday while helping a friend move barrels of veggie oil from one location to another I managed to break the outer joint of the passenger side half shaft while turning full left in 4WD. Mind you that this is a less than a month old reman unit from O'Reilly's Master Pro branded. The only...
