We'll be using 1/2" fuel hose sourced from Summit, $29 for 25 feet, and simple hose clamps

Here the pump just got mounted and the supply and discharge hoses hooked up and routed. I added convoluted tubing over the hose anywhere it was near something it WOULD rub on!

Next up, is the return line from the fuel injectors line. Parker hose had a cool hose made for diesel fuel that could handle the higher temps of heated fuel without losing strength. I plumbed the return line back to the filter so that warm fuel would warm that unit for the really cold days. I am running the overflow from the P-Pump back to the tank so that warmed fuel will warm up the main fuel tank, again for the really cold days

Then I lengthened the wiring harness from the pumps and made up a new harness and ran it toward the drivers fender well where I plan to mount the solenoids to operate this stuff

Great progress Don!  Skunk stuff works really much better than your virgin bloody mary mix- why:  Dawn cut oils in spray, Baking Soda neutralizes stink and Hydrogen Peroxide floats and oxidizes stink further and more easily rinses it all away.

*sigh... it would be so much better without those empty spaces in the wheel hubs starting back at me.  I feel like tomorrow should be a problem solving morning.  Fuel system is top notch.  Good call on the "buck a foot" hose.  Did that on my Wagoneer too.

Norm,
Things aren't fitting just right
Tate is on it like white on rice
He'd have to state the exact details, but apparently Dodge had some minor differences in a couple of years, and JR and I might have just fallen into that spider-hole.
Anyway, you can see where Tate is trying to get this ciphered out in a post or two north of this one. We'll get it or I'll just weld the whole thing up solid!
Well maybe not...  ;-))

I'll be watching this one, my D60 axle will likely have the same issue.

Oh your meaning the wheel hubs with no outer snap ring groove? That's a common known issue with early internal hub axles. You can have it machined in if you feel it's required.

Usually those hubs were used on 89-90 trucks. Most often on Dana 61's in my experience. But as with anything Dana, some exceptions do apply LoL

I have about 10 Dana 60 fronts laying around, I should probably check and see if I have any sans outer snap rings.

I think mine have the outer snap ring. But for some reason the manual hub mechanicals won't seat in the bore far enough to use that ring...I mean the stuff is sticking out of the hub!
Maybe I put something together wrong...Heck I thought I already discovered every conceivable way of bolting it back together backwards!
On this one I just installed new bearings and seals, so I'm wondering if they are somehow not allowing things to "Seat", but really, I am just guessing as to what may be Obuma'd up!

Man, I'm not taking all that apart again if I don't have to!

Thanks for offering

Let's let Tate's man weigh in first and see if he knows something that is particular to those new hubs.

Don, if yours are sticking out you may have gotten ford hubs. That is what I am finding out.

The dodge and chevy hubs will crossover but the ford hub is shorter. All the other internals are the same with bearings and such.

Tate, am I on the right road here?

Take a look here at the spindle length overall. Dodge and Chevy use the same spindle regardless if external or internal.

As you can see the Ford spindle is much shorter, but the same bearing bearing spacing.

you're on the right track. in fact, 12.0" gm dodge stubs, 11.4" for stubs. but Don's hubs were in functional/in use prior to disassembly, stubs changed, but only in spline count. original axle measured up the same so I'm doubting the ford hub scenario. I'm leaning more towards the fact that these come with two possible spacer scenarios, one for dodge/gm and one for ford. originally he had these installed in the HP d60 destined for Cmax, a ford application. if he "lost" the other spacer that could create this scenario, but the main gear could also be mismachined. I'm hoping for a simple solution that involves me shipping a few extra parts and Don happily installing them. Stay tuned...

It's weird, but I removed that small spacer altogether and the assembly still sticks out.
I'll get some pics of it in the shop today and dump them on the thread tonight

Managed to get a little done today. It is very cold here and I was not feeling my best...I know what's the biggest difference between a turbine engine and a pilot? The turbine stops whining after flying!

I went over to Parker hydraulics today to pick up some more hose to finish plumbing the fuel system and score some vent lines for the diffs and gearboxes.

They also hooked me up with the right fittings and we talked about making up hoses for the power steering and hydraulic brake system which in my application will become one unit.

Here's the various hose I picked up. The blue stuff can handle over 300F while the gray stuff is good to 212 degrees

Now, I still hadn't hooked up the filler neck to the fuel tank, so time to get on that

I reincorporated the back flow preventer/anti slosh valve, so I cut that sucker down to size and fitted it right back in the new neck assembly

With that done I fitted the vent hose then realized I need a 1.5" 90 degree rubber elbow to go any further. I'll have to pick one up from an auto parts store. I'll likely just find a radiator hose and cut it to size and make all that fit, but not today.

About now my stomach started saying "You really need to stop this working on your back stuff or I'm going to reintroduce you to your morning quoffee...

So I stopped for the day then quickly got pulled into one of the little Ranger's homework project...Sa' la-vie'

That oversized collar has retention ridges on the inside of that collar. The almost completed hose assembly is then placed into this hydraulic squeezer thing which would make quick work of any body part that got stuck in there by mistake

Being a pro at anything lies in the craftsmanship and the details. Anson has all that covered. Here after shrinking the sleeve around the high temp, 4000 psi Parker hose, he checks the size of the crimp with a micrometer...YES A MICROMETER!

Good workmanship here!

I temporarily installed the inner fender, then clamped on the low pressure return line from the brake module

Both return lines will be routed to this filter head, then a single line will return to the pump

These just answered a few of my questions in seeing the lines hooked up in earlier posts. Plus the last couple showed you have the same PS pump I have and running a "T" for the Brake/PS boost as I have reading up on it a little.

Luckily I do live in an area where farm equipment is used a plenty and many shop will build those hoses. Hopefully I will find a tech as good as yours!!

Great work as normal and looking good!!

Yup, just plumb in a filter and you have your "T" connection solved and get the bonus of having that fluid filtered while adding some additional capacity (Cooling)

Good find on the hydraulic line fabricating shop.  I'll be using them as well.
