Then the PR moved in and pulled the tire off the wheel by doing the prying thing and scratching up the wheel all to heck and back!

Then, using the new tire iron/spoons the first bead is pried off the wheel lip
21904
« on: May 10, 2016, 09:47:32 AM »
We used a vise to break the beads off the lip, which was a bit of a chore since the tire had been on there since 2012

And pulled out the rear wheel/tire
I'll be replacing it with a Shinko 805 Cross Fly which is a 40% highway/60% off road tire. The Shinko is a 130-17 whereas the stock Bridgestone is a 110-17, so I'll be getting a bit more cross-section.

I like the looks of that +2 mag extension.
I was shooting Duane's a couple weeks ago. Nice gun, but way too small for my big hands. Functions well, and recoils a bit more than my G19. Seemed about as accurate as any short barreled Glock pistol, and 9 mm hydra def packs a sufficient punch

Ephesians 6, 11-17
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

So something happened in bible study this past Sunday We were finishing up Ephesians, Chapter 6 That's the really important part that talks about the armor of God I was reading through the words when all of a sudden one word stood out and stuck hard in my mind. I do a security job there as well, and later on during the actual service, I just couldn't get the concept of standing tough out of my mind. Heck that's what this site is all about. Standing together, standing up for God, standing up for what's right, standing up for our wives, and children, standing with fellow brothers when they are in the fire We Real men, Stand! Well, all this came to me and I was writing it all down. Some I researched later, but the idea occurred to me that this ought to be a movement for men of real courage and a boldness for Jesus to stand. What do you think? Is this something we should move on? I think the timing is perfect and the message is solid rock in a sea of shifting sand... So here it is: S T A N D 1 Corinthians 16:3 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Exodus 14:13 13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today 2 Chronicles 20:17 17 You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you Job 11:15 15 then, free of fault, you will lift up your face; you will stand firm and without fear. Psalm 20:8 8 They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm. Psalm 33:11 11 But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. Proverbs 10:25 25 When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone, but the righteous stand firm forever. Proverbs 12:7 7 The wicked are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the righteous stands firm. Isaiah 7:9 9 …If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all.’” Matthew 10:22 22 You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. Matthew 24:13 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be save Luke 21:19 19 Stand firm, and you will win life. 1 Corinthians 15:58 58 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 16:13 13 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong Galatians 5:1 5 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Ephesians 6:14 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place Philippians 1:27 27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel 1. Stand one's ground: to maintain one's position 2. Stand for: to be a symbol for 3. To tolerate without flinching: bear courageously 4. To hold a course at sea 5. To perform the duty of <stand guard> 6. To exhibit courage, strength, or calm especially in the face of adversity 7. Usually implies the power to sustain without flinching or breaking 8. Implies continuing firm or resolute through trials and difficulties 9. Emphasizes even more strongly the ability to bear without flinching Stand on The Truth of God’s word Stand Against evil Give up No ground Stan D God ^ Stand Stand Stand Stand Stand Stand Stand Stand Stand Stand Stand Stand Stand Stand Stand On God’s Word

At the air show this weekend I think my grandsons favorite craft was a toss up between the Chinook doing ferry duty for the jump crews and the B25 "Paper Doll" that he got a special tour through because Grandpa knows people LoL
The one Chinook they were giving walk through tours with, that aircraft saw some serious foot traffic. There was a line two blocks long for most of the day. Grand islands Air Guard did a stand up job of hospitality and educating folks on the Chinook. You'd be proud Don.
Cool!

Aircraft thing
I put a totally new dash in my Piper Comanche 250 airplane. We made that from .125" aluminum. Pretty easy to work with. Sprayed it with my favorite Lycoming gray paint...looked 50's classic. Since my Comanche was a 1960 model, it worked quite well.

Those batteries did pretty good for 6 months!!! I think if you do the fuel can setup its going to run, let it charge all night and try it in the morning.
Sorry, but you'll have to wait just a bit Leaving for the farm today, be down there for awhile...

Good how-to going on here Sam
I like how you are maintaining this well used example of a modern truck and operating it in one of the most extreme environments of anyone on this site.
My truck sees weekly off road antics down at "The Farm", but with that the undercarriage has never been that dirty. Yours shows the conditions you operate in and a good testament to the durability of the design

Not so sure about the rain all the time part. I can take every couple 3 weeks for a day or so. All the time, no.

There are 4 pumps of the piston variety for this application. For our purposes the only facts relative is if you have the thick spring, then you should be making around 28 psi ish at idle. The spacer is required and is there because the same piston pump is used on other Cummins series. The B series requires the spacer.
It's possible you have a bad pump, it's happened before. It's possible you have a bad relief/pressure valve on the pump, that happens also....but the reason behind eliminating the entire fuel system other than the piston lift pump is to determine if you have a issue with the piston pump or if your fuel system is the issue.
I run these engines almost daily, a can of fuel, a fuel line and a OEM lift pump, and they will perform perfectly. If yours doesn't when isolated, you know the issue is lift pump related.
On a side note... if those electric pumps are not producing the volume of fuel the lift pump needs, it will be limited to producing only whats available. A suspect issue when you see no rise in fuel pressure with RPM initially.
A further example: Patch has a high pressure lift pump and a boost referenced bypass regulator and OEM fuel lines. I just looked at the fuel pressure gauge tonight. It idles at 29 psi and makes close to 40 at 2500rpm. I have it set to run the VE at 15psi but that said... your pump should act similar. Starvation could be affecting it's output.
OK, I'll get soaked in diesel AGAIN and see if we have a restriction
21942
« on: May 05, 2016, 08:30:53 AM »
interesting.
I would have thought my '89 VE would be the same as your 5.9. but.. since it's an aftermarket upgrade from a VE to PPump style.. no telling what that stroke actually is. or if the cam lobe is the same for each.. seems to be lots of variables. I know those cummins lift pumps aren't cheap.. but getting the pump that fits your serial number might be the most solid start..?
still.. great to hear that it's running.
if you think it may be the block lift pump, can always hook the kennedys up in series, bypass the block pump and run it straight to the filter. that should produce ~ 16psi, no?
I already have the Kennedy's hooked up in series and on different circuits...Part of the survival aspect of redundant systems and all that... The turbine Kennedy pumps only make 4 psi each or 8 psi in series. I'm seeing 10 psi so the mechanical lift pump is doing something
21943
« on: May 04, 2016, 10:12:44 PM »
I'll double check my '89, but I don't think there is a spacer at all between the fuel pump and block.
if it doesn't, and you have a factory VE lift pump with spacer, you'd be operating at the very bottom end of its stroke. so you're missing 3/16" of stroke..? so the reading you're getting is just from the Kennedy pumps pushing fuel through the block lift pump?
I'm just shooting in the dark here.. hahah
I think that may be it really Your 89 has a completely different design pump than I have or is used on a P-Pump engine. Apples/oranges thing... I purchased this pump for my VE motor The pump is intended for a P-Pump engine though, and is used as a high performance alternative for the earlier VE motors. It was designed to be run with a spacer, and the guy selling it replaces the high pressure spring with a lower press unit to be VE friendly. So I simply installed the original spring and bolted it on. From everything I can tell, the pump requires the spacer to stroke properly... However I am not sure since it started as this VE hi-po pump

21946
« on: May 04, 2016, 10:00:37 PM »
Bleed it and I like what Ken said. With the spacer did it come with a longer piston?
You cannot run the lift pump with out either the fuel heater flange or a spacer. Perhaps the gentleman who sent me the replacement spring sent the wrong one, but I can say that the replacement spring was thicker and more resistance that the VE spring that was in there. Nah, that's not it... Things that are suspect to me are 1. The dual inlet fuel line I used 2. A very loud "Crack" sound when I was pulling the front plug out of the Bosch injection Pump 3. The pressure relief valve on the return side of the pump possibly has failed 4. The lift pump is the wrong unit altogether.
21947
« on: May 04, 2016, 09:54:27 PM »
Don.... you must have a five gallon can you can use for fuel? Just run the mechanical lift pump off that temp like and see what happens to your fuel pressure. It will take maybe 30 min tops...you will have isolated the issue completely by doing that.
Your this close man
Now, why would I need to rewire off a 5 gal fuel can? Makes no sense I am coming off the tank through two Kennedy lift pumps whick by themselves supply around 8 psi fuel to the lift pump. I'd have even less pressure if I went around them! How could lift pumps, designed to feed a diesel engine be a restriction?
21948
« on: May 04, 2016, 06:08:45 PM »
OK, i ran it again.
At idle it is showing 10 psi pressure. Now as I rev it the pressure climbs to around 15 psi.
So
The fuel pump/lift pump is working
But
The pressure is much less than it should be
So, still thinking it through

21950
« on: May 04, 2016, 05:11:35 PM »
We may recall that I pulled it apart to install the heavier spring some time ago. I'm frying brain cells to sty and figure out if I left something out or amiss, but I don't think so.
But if the pressure doesn't change, that pump can't be working!
