  1. I might suggest looking up the torque amount for those bolts and maybe add addition 5 ft/lbs more. Just a crazy idea?
  2. BOLT, Hex Flange Head, M14x2.00x80.00, Shock Mounting,
  3. Here is a trick for next time I found the bolt part number and also the bolt size... BOLT, Hex Flange Head, M14x2.00x80.00, Shock Mounting, Then go back to Google to look up the part... Then select a supplier for the part. I see Amazon and a few others...
  4. True, the crank sensor has to show the crank turning to keep the power turned on for the lift pump and injection pump. If there is any loss of tach signal, it will drop the fuel pumps. Any error codes?

    My adventure of having a second run at bladder cancer and going back and forth to chemo treatments and surgeries. "Titanium" the character, kept me going and helped me with depression and stress of the idea I might not make it. I've made several new friends and found a new way to enjoy life as I continue to dress up and do my Titanium makeup. I'm always taking my adventure out into the public and share my artwork with everyone!
  6. I'm still experimenting with makeup artistry. Been more focused on the dirt work in the yard, but there are a few days I was messing around. @Tweety Bird wanted to see a few new colors of hair for me. How about fire red? Then I've even been to a funeral for one of my friends, I was dressed in full black and black makeup. The fire red hair, I really enjoy wearing when you get comments about being seen all the way across the store, like Walmart. I love to dress up and interact with the public. The black was a way for me to dress up for a funeral for my friend Dan Catherman. Just after the landslide, he was down helping me hike up the mountain to look at the landslide from top down. Rest in Peace, my friend.

    This is a collection of photos of what happened to my shop that I've worked out of for over 35 years doing mechanic work. This all took place on May 29th 2025 at 6:00am. A massive chunk of the mountain and 9 trees slammed into the back of the shop / guest house and destroyed the building. This is a photo blog of what has been happening for clean up and clearing the debris off my driveway to gain access to the main house which still standing.
  8. Yeah I'm finally getting this cleaned up and can focus on getting my driveway back. As of right now the driveway is rough but accessible for vehicles to the front door. After I clean up the trash pile we will have parking area for all the vehicles here on the property. I'm racing against winter time to make sure I can keep my driveway cleared and open. The videos are while I was digging for the shop stuff and Mark personal stuff, if I got lucky but most everything in the house and shop was crushed by heavy slabs of concrete. Finally, I got my driveway cleared in a rough method. It has been long days and a lot of diesel fuel for digging like this. I've had to double-stack all my dirt and debris pile against the mountainside. This is only a temporary place for just the wintertime. I've still got to rebuild a shop at some point so I can even maintain my own vehicles. The driveway is clear but I've got a huge trash pile to sort out, hopefully before the snow comes. Take the wood and move it to the lower yard to be burned this late fall.
  9. @Mace could you build an article for the electric vacuum set up?
  10. Basically, the pump section pulls out of the reservoir, and there is a large o-ring. As for the pump vanes, I've never opened up. Rest is just o-rings. Be sure you can get the o-rings first before opening. I would check with Blue Top Steering for pump and steering box supplies. https://bluetopsteeringgears-com.3dcartstores.com/
  11. Double check the black/white wire that grounds behind the starter. This is the ground lead for the lift pump and fuel heater. If you bump the starter there should be power on the the other wire in the plug but the ground might be dead.
  12. Closer to paint. I dying to see the final product.
  13. Power Steering fluid should be changed every 30k miles. You can pull the reservoir housing off so you can rebuilt most of the power steering pump. There might be screens inside. Make sure to get a new o-ring first. Vacuum pump seal you can get for like 20 dollars at Cummins supplier. I get mine from Rocky Mountain Cummins super cheap.
  14. Last time I bought a roll of 1/2 inch line from DAP. Can't remember the price but it was about 20 feet on the shipment. Mine just found out in the landslide the other day.
  15. So you have the JIC type push loc fittings? Still, you should check the mating faces to make sure there is no grit or damage to the mating faces. I just had a hard start on Beast just yesterday, and my head is already processing. Suction side never leaks out but will continue to allow air in. Yeah, I've got the same fittings as well. The mating face if damaged or rusted, will typically start to leak (loose prime or leak outwards) Thor on the other hand has the plastic quick connects. On these you can grease the smooth bore tip and the grease will aid in sealing.
