Yep! That's me!

Mid-Liners can be a bit troublesome to get parts for, as I understand. I saw several which could be bought cheap, but the parts deal made them less attractive for me. I would assume you could weasel any type of mid-size diesel into one...with enough time and money. The first thing that pops into my mind is a Cummins out of a mid-sized truck (ISC?). Those were used in pretty much everything at one time or another, it seems like. Ford used them in their F650 line, and of course Dodge used a butt-load of them. I'd bet the Sterling (still a Dodge) trucks had a few, too. Or, how 'bout one of the Cats out of a GM medium-duty?

Actually got a little road time in this morning. Wow! Can't believe what a difference those insulators made. The bumps and jolts from the road are FAR less noticeable through the steering wheel...and the seat! Makes the whole front end of the truck feel tighter and more stable. Best bang for the buck you can do to the front of one of these rubber-mounted trucks. By the way, the old ones were worn down to the point that the retainer caps could be bolted on with virtually no compression of the rubber whatsoever. When I put the new ones on, they started compressing as soon as the bolts started in the holes. So, there is a LOT more rubber under compression in there now. No wonder it's tighter, huh?

Sounds like we may need some Geek help...

Different computer works okay.

I tried it again. Same result. Won't show the quote. Maybe just this computer...

Why the hell can't I use the "QUOTE" function today?

Zenon Clayton Raymond Hansen. May he rest in peace. Without him, we wouldn't have what we have today. He was the man!

Come on! Make me an offer! All I can do is say, "No." Can't cook ya' and eat ya'...

"...let us redefine progress to mean that, just because we can do a thing, it does not necessarily follow that we MUST do that thing..."

When you pumped it, did you hear fuel going back to the tank?If you remove the supply line beyond the primer, at the injection pump, can you pump fuel out of this line with the primer while hot? The manual I have shows no temperature shutoff device. So, if it has one somewhere, I don't know anything about it. I hate to be of no help, but I'd try cranking it over when it dies, and see how far along the system it gets fuel. Maybe the bypass in the injection pump is bypassing all the fuel? Again, sorry. I'm being worse than useless now.

Maybe pump up the primer, & see if it'll restart hot...

Like maybe a lift pump going bad?

If I can remember this evening, I'll look at the fuel system section in my old service book, and see if they mention any kind of gizmoid device which could be a temperature-related fuel shut-off.

If there's a circuit, I would think it would have to go to the fuel pump. Isn't that a mechanical pump, with the "pull knob to shut off"? If so, the pump wouldn't have any wires on it normally? Maybe some added fuel shutoff valve somewhere? Beats me!

There you have it! I thought the "plus 4" cab shared some panels with the Super.

Mmmmmm.......

is the rear panel on the Superdog the same as a R? If so, Watts may still have some.

...enough that it is noticeable... I'd say an inch at least. Feels "tighter", too.

Thanks!

Ouch!

Rusted roofs usually lead to rusted floors, rusted cab corners, and such. I wish Mack had discovered galvanized metal a few years earlier.

A "B" with a Cummins is cool...

That would definitely qualify it as a "project", wouldn't it?

I've got clean rails, too. Make me an offer?
