Well I know some of you seen my firewood video now here is a short video clip of the life of my BHAF... My first BHAF last 7 years and 135K miles before I finally gave up because the media was finally darkening on the inside of the filter but the filter minder never moved. I've check the filter minder several times and it still functions just fine...

Thank you ISX you always had a good way of handling videos... Nice one for oil changes...

Talk to DieselAutoPower... (The post above)

I totally agree there is no reason for that...

That's what your looking for...

Yeah... Being about 20 miles up a dirt road going from 1,800 ft and climbing to 7,500 feet to cut firewood and then wonder back down loaded takes time. Being the friends I was with got all there trucks loaded and I done a double trip I'd say I did rather well. But that still isn't enough for me... I need to do this kind of weekend 2 more times... My problem is my lower back is absolutely singing this morning and MoparMom is like "you better get rolling soon or you'll be unloading the truck in the heat of the day." Yeah its suppose to be like 96*F here...

Here is what I got in my RV... Really good power converter / battery charger...

Well if you turn on the pump before you start the truck you'll have hard starting issues. Then if you forget to turn on the pump after you start the engine then you VP44 will be ruined... During cranking the lift pump is modulated at 50% duty cycle till you release the key to prevent excessive pressure during starting.

This might be true... But had no idea about the condition of the forward belt being it hidden against the deck. But yes it would of been smart to ball all belt and replace them all. I'm just a bit goofy...

OMG... The weird thing you guys have got out there in the midwest...

Not to highjack the OP's post I'm curious of prices on the RV275 nozzles?

Those brakets are worth gold. You might try and find someone like Prowelder or JL Welding willing to reproduce those brackets... I see people enjoy my idea of tucking up against the transfer case for 4WD applications...

Suction problem rarely every leak... But another idea is to use a blow gun and pressurize the fuel tank with 1-2 PSI and have a buddy look the fuel line over for wetness.

Like going out and mow the lawn to find yourself getting smoked out by the drive belt. SNAP! Ok park the lawn mower driver 320 miles for 1 $25 belt. Install it to mow the other half of the yard SNAP! and find the forward drive belt in same condition... :banghead: So I understand your day really well.

That is the style of alternater I got its rated for 166 Amps @ 6,000 RPM's (hardly doubt I get that much rev on the old girl)

I was worried about the very same thing but after a little working on my trailer I found out that all my plumbing has plastic collars around them and the trailer is rather air tight. I quite literially have to leave the door open to get the slide out. If I leave every thing closed (windows & roof vents) then try and open the slide it stuggles to open against the vacuum plus air is whistling in drains in the windows. So far no signs of critters...

Well the injection pump is dead... Why? Because the fuel pressure was most likely too low and could keep it properly cooled and lubed... So this means the lift pump is most likely the cause of the VP44 failure... Why? I know that these truck don't come with a fuel pressure gauge but should have... But strangly enough a simple $40 dollar fuel pressure gauge could of saved you $1,500 bucks worth of repairs bill now (VP44 replacement and lift pump replacement). http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/2ndgen24v/fuel-pressure/fuel-pressure.htm

Even more fun to replace tappets...

Welcome to the family...

Wow! That is a project...

I tend to enjoy this parting phrase from your link...

IfI remember right Edcasey is a RV mechanic at one time you might try and get a hold of him...

The second 2 pics are rather fuzzy and I can't tell what I'm looking at...
