  1. I deal with alot of 425 tires. They can be tricky. Try putting 14 oz of counter balancing beads in the tire if you can. I had a truck I just 425's on and two weeks later the driver he has a bad wobble in the front. The first thing I did was check the runout and sure enough, the tire had bulge on the inside and after i replaced it no more wobble.

  2. And here we have the answer- Why do they call Detroit's "road oilers?

    I like that one ROAD OILER. It is an 8.2 non turbo 4 stroke, but she does scream and when it screams she blows the oil. I had a guy pull up beside me and flick me off because i sprayed oil all over is white car. It's wierd it blows oil out at a certain RPM mainly around 2500-3000. :banana:

  3. My 1996 CH 613 with a 300 wont start outside but will start inside. All of the fuel lines are good with no leaks, New fuel filters, New hand primer. Once it fires up its good all day long. Wierd thing is that the primary filter sounds empty and the secondary is full. Any questions???? :idunno:

  4. I am working on a project. I recently removed a cab that was layed over and removed it from its chassis. I put a new cab on the same chassis. It is a 1996 CH 613 with a E-400 Manual fuel pump. Now this cab was a test cab and I finally got the girl running. I took the V-Mac computer out of the old cab and put it in the new cab, and also changed the computer harness outside of the firewall. The electronic malfunction light is on and stays on and the truck runs fine. Wierd thing is that it wasn't on with the old cab. So I got the fan on all the time and every wire is connected. So feel free to help out.

  5. I'm having the same trouble on my CH. All of my headlights work, trailer lights work, and TURN SIGNALS WORK. I traced wire by wire for hours and found a wire corroded in the back of the relay box on drivers side engine firewall in cab marker lights relay.

  6. Check the fuel return jumper (from head to head)between the valve covers. They have rubber o-ring/seals that start to leak after many years and can let air in and let fuel drain back to tank on some types of injector pumps(depending on the type of overflow valve on the injector pump) I think it takes a 7/16 wrench, just tighten the 2 nuts usually they are really loose.

    I will check that out and I will send back what I discovered. THANX

  7. My 1993 CH613 starts fine inside. Leave it outside and well you have to put either to it to get it going. When it gets going it will run rough for matbe 10 seconds, then it clears up. It has a new starter, fuel filters and a drainback valve. I'm puzzeled any ideas would be a great help.

  8. Stand directly over the front over your motor and look down between the front of the head and water pump, you'll see a small fuel return line running from there down to the fuel lines near the injection pump. Follow that line (maybe 2 feet long or so) and see if there's any signs of seepage.

    I had that problem with mine...cranked and cranked it till it would finally start...it was seeping where it hooks to the head...it wasn't dripping, just damp. I replaced that line and it was good as new.

    Thanxs for the help i found the problem. The starter was dragging not letting the engine crank faster. and the actuator was messed up

  9. If you have a manual priming pump does it feel as if there is resistance, or like your compressing air? Both of your filters should remain full when the engine is shut down. If they are draining back you could have the check valve inoperable, or an air leak in the system. Do you notice any seepage leaks from fuel anywhere?

    The manual priming pump has resictance, and i am checking the lines for seepage right now. and also trying to figure out this check valve
