Gudday and welcome as said above people on here seem to be able to help with most things Paul

You will be giving these blokes here wet dreams with these photos and stories glad its working out good for you not that I ever doubt it would Paul keep the happy snaps coming

Fuel is meant to drain back to the tank its the way it is designed to work the fuel gets siphoned back thru the return line when the truck isnt running hence the fact it looses prime The so called check valves in in the transfer pump arent to hold the fuel up to the motor they are just to supply fuel when running Paul

gudday Andy Dont know much about them 8 stud rims most people use spiders (daytons I think you blokes call them) out here plenty of power for dragging a dozer around Oh yeah welcome mate Paul

mate I didnt read it all what hope has the US got when the people at the top are to spineless to call things what they are surely with events unfolding around the world these gutless wonders at the top need to stop pussyfooting around and call a spade a spade and to hell with what the rest of the world thinks and lead with whats true and right Yeah yeah I know Im not a yank but this crap gives me the jimmy brits and we have the same weak people running our show I was talking to a good friend the other day about how to fix the show and he and I agreed look back to when we were going good replicate it !!! After all it worked and worked well it made countries like ours the envy of the world and I can tell you it wasnt done with weak spineless leaders it was done with men yes men (and Im not sexist but it was men) that had vision on how things should and could be done to benefit all sorry for my rant but Im getting a bit dagged off with these so called wanna be leaders Paul

I was told by some one much smarter than me that when this happens its the return line to the tank as there is no check valve in system and it siphons back around till the pressure is equal when its not running if this makes any sense Paul

welcome mate Paul

dunno the old quad box is pretty tough not a patch on the maxi torque though they had the quad box behind the 325 and 375 V8's out here on road train work so they gotta be pretty tough 325 was a Maxidyne and 375 Thermodyne pretty sure thats the way it went my 20 cents I reckon it would be ok Paul

thats some pretty good fuel economy 8.5 MPG the American trucks or should I say trucks fleets are a pretty plane Jane looking thing these days no special paint work just the one colour no scroll work nothing pretty boring when you compare them to what people used to expect Paul

Welcome Justin The trans top cover on the high low should be able to fit out between the cab floor and the top of transmission I have the bolt the holds the selector on the high low drop out once and had the same thing as you describe happen to me Paul

we have a few dirt roads all main highways are sealed bitumen Australia is very flat with a long way between towns once you 150km in from the east coast 100's of km between towns But Australia has a bigger area of snow then Switzerland !!! a fact I only recently learnt Paul

lazy axels arent very common in Australia all suspension must be load sharing and I believe (but could be wrong) that back in the days of lazy axles and the load sharing requirement too many trucks would get stuck in driveways as lifting axles werent allowed because the load sharing part of the rules wouldnt have applied and since those days in the 70's they have never really caught on a few got sold but not many maybe 1 in 50 or 1 in 100 trucks at the most Paul
