AZB755V8

Nice job on the restoration. A Speedo would be the last thing that I would think hard to find. I have a few all are different but will work. which one are you looking for? What condition is acceptable? Might be able to fix you up. I had my Speedo and Tack rebuilt... big bucks... don't know if it was worth it but looks good.

First what year, model and engine are you asking about? What is in the screen? That would be my first though to figure what is in the oil and if it is in the screen where else is it going or coming from? What type of hoses and how old are they? If this crap in in the pan what shape is your oil pump. What is your oil pressure? If it is causing back pressure to blow the tank it is restricting flow to the engine, not good at all... Just a note some of us need glasses but you don't need bold print for us to read it.

Dremel tool with the thin cut-off wheel works good for the rectangle switches and a stepped drill for the round, touch up with a Dremel with carbide burr. Once you got it you will use it for more stuff. Cheap at Home Depot or Lowes. Battery one is cool but the battery is dead most time I go to use it and have to plug it in anyway, Get the 120 volt one.

I have had a rash of fuel issues with my trucks. It may not be your lift pump at all. I don't know if your truck is mechanical but a gauge in the line between the lift pump and injection pump sure helps, Pressure should be 10-20 psi. Low pressure can be a bad return restrictor valve. Bad lines, crap in the tank, clogged filters can all restrict or block flow. It can even be sucking air through a bad hand primer.

I understand what you are saying. The thing is that the the other tank was shut off with the cross over valves on the bottom of the tanks and no fuel transferred into the right tank I have been running on. That right tank was sucked dry and the problems started. If anything the right tank had the crap in it, and it does have some black stuff sticking to the walls about 1/8 the way up from sitting for 20 years with fuel in it before I started the restoration. Just have to keep an eye on it and change the filters more often. Thing is that the unused tank is the clean one... I would have to get different hoses to get the fuel pump supply and return lines to that tank. Thanks for all the help from you all, it comes down to crap in the lines, getting it out with all the air as well. I need to remember too fill the right tank next time.

If still looking there is a Yellow LT listed in Wheels of Time this month. Looks nice and complete for $30k Another "complete" one for $1800 too. Looks to be in pieces though.

That is a real nice dump bed on that wheeled Buro, works real good. Looks like the driver has done that before.

I lived back in the midwest for most of my life so I can relate to Chicago driving. It is predictable. Out here in Arizona everyone is from somewhere else. You don't know what they are going to do but go wherever whenever they want and it is alway in front of you. Even merging on the highway, had a motorcycle coming down the entrance ramp and tried merging in a 100 foot opening in front of my truck at 65 MPH.... Life doesn't mean too much to him, doing that stupid crap, then gives me the Bird. Sort of like a bug that is about to hit the windshield flipping you off. You don't dare blow the horn, people get gun shot out here for being so Rude to signal them to wake up. Road Rage to a whole new level!! Had a guy roll down his car window and tried stabbing my tires with a 6-8" knife at 45 MPH because he wanted in and I just kept moving. I call it Zoning in Zona here, everyone is in a daze driving, everything else is more important than actually driving. Just like the people that run in your blindspot. They come up and pace you but will not pass but stay right there. It is like Ducks and Geese flying in a V the next one is just behind and out of sight, you know they are going to do it... Putting on the occasional turn signal gives them the right to cut in without even looking... in front of you of course... drives me crazy.

I did have air in the lines as well. It took several times to get it all out. It may have been something in the supply line that is blocking flow. We went over most of the things that can happen in another post here, Running out of Fuel, Airlock. It should help.

The last time that is what I did. Disconnected the line going to the lift pump and tank. Blew through it and a steady stream of fuel on the ground. Opened the tank valve and stead stream as well. Maybe there was something just big enough that got sucked in at the bottom of the tank to stop flow and it came out then. looked in the tank and just little stuff the primary would filter out. I haven't had the problem sense. I try to keep the tanks on anything above 1/4 full to prevent crap from getting sucked up. The problem started when I ran it empty. Ran out of fuel about the same time each time. About the amount that would be in the secondary filter, about a quart of fuel, 2 miles worth. Thanks for the help.

That is what I thought too but it still was getting what i think was airlock in the line between the primary filter and lift pump. It did run on all cylinders until the next time it ran out of fuel. I did replace the filters, they had 2000 miles on them and did have some sediment in the primary filter but not much. I need to get some fuel additive as the fuel is starting to smell old. So far it is running like nothing happened without using the primer. It was strange that it continued to run out of fuel for 3 times. I never had that much problem getting a diesel running after working on the filters, pump or running out of fuel. Tanks have working vented caps.
