That part will be easier once I get some flat plate around it to stand on!

I've been using a B&W Turnover ball hitch for gooseneck pulling for a while. I like it. I added some additional mounting bolts in the frame mount to fill some available holes that were there. This pulled the mount snug along the frame rails. The bed was off due to damage from an...

I haven't experienced any problems with vehicles I run local. Except for a water problem in a tractor that my cousin provided off road diesel while I was working on his property. That's a story unto itself. My fuel problem has only been with the truck I travel the roads in. This has been an...

It's been almost 4 years since I replaced the original factory fuel pump with my first Walbro fuel pump. I posted about that installation, but didn't about the adding the pre-pump filter and checking the condition of the tank. The original fuel pump was NASTY looking inside, which led to...

I actually got to drive the truck today. Engine started right up just bumping the key. That first gear in the 5spd is a stump puller! RPO code MW3, 5.61 first gear. GK9 rear axle, 4.63 ratio. Ran out nice. Engine is nice and dry above and below, with some dampness at back of oil pan...

DeeJaaa, mine looked alot like that. Will, I'm SERIOUSLY considering putting my 100 gallon transfer tank on and filling into it while out on the road and pumping out of it through my Fill-Rite and a doubled filter system into the stock tank. Picking up too much water and trash and biodiesel...

The TSU was rusty, upper parts of the tank looked rusty and the lower part looked as if a coating was peeling off of it. Lots of 1/4 inch and smaller metallic looking flakes. Puddles of muddy looking water were apparent when sloshing it back and forth. It didn't look anything like this when I...

Well, I got bit. Was loaded up at a site with a fifth wheel trailer, warming up to pull out for the trip home and my 6.5L just quit. Turned over just fine but no start. No fuel to upper filter. Folks there carried me to a parts store, no Walbro pumps in stock, and I wasn't about to give $185...

GM Guy, that could get really interesting if true.

Yes, this is a GMT400 C3500HD, with the 8.1L gas engine that the propane distributor pulled the propane conversion unit off the motor switching it back to gas only. It has the 5 speed manual transmission that was rebuilt a few months ago before they started switching the crane and equipment...

From what I here from the propane fleet truck guys, they love the 8.1 in the Kodiaks with direct propane injection. I have a friend that bought one of them and put a rollback bed on it and he absolutely loves it! The 3500HD that I'm looking at had an add-on dual fuel unit that has been removed...

Thanks for the input. The truck is priced right, so even if it turns out to be a project, it will be an affordable one. I couldn't build the base truck bed with the outriggers for the price. I would like to be able to drive it a while before I start pulling it apart though.

Looking at a 2001 Chevy C3500HD 5spd former propane powered propane company service truck. The propane unit has just been removed from it. The transmission has been rebuilt about 6 months ago before the truck was replaced with a new one. Engine performs well. The overall condition of the...

I can see you grinning here in Alabama!

To aid hose insertion, lubricate your fittings! Get your mind out of the gutter. It's just a fact of mechanic'n.

A big thanks to GM Guy for the lead! Sending you a PM with the request!

Would you still happen to have any of those LED lamps, and if so how much for them?

I'll jump in on this.

Have you pulled the block heater out and inspected it yet? I'd be willing to bet it has a cracked/exposed element in it. Saw that happen years ago in a Detroit Diesel engine in an OTR truck. BTW, check your bottle of water wetter for warnings, I want to say its actually flammable, but I could...

Made a 260 mile run that duplicated a previous trip before the thermostat change. Same trailer and same size load. Mileage improved from 13mpg to 16mpg, not exceeding the posted speed limits. Hopefully, an injector change will offer more improvements. Overall, I'm still pleased with my 300K...
