Thanks Pedro!!

It was a nice truck, it was a fun one to drive

I appreciate the suggestion! 2 years has passed and it's been holding up really well, if I ever break the truck down again to paint the frame I'll add some plate to the top and bottom flange. Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your experience!

Thanks for the info!

You just need the bypass spring to open sooner and allow the fuel to return to the tank. You would need a softer spring to accomplish that. I am sure you could call fass and let them know what pressure you need and they probably make a spring that's rated for what you need.

@@frostydoesit I called them today and the tech support guy that answered the phone didn't have an answer. He said he could sell me a regulator. So I took the spring out and clipped 1/2 of a ring off the end of it, made sure the cut end was the end inside the fitting for stability, put it back together and voila 30psi.

@machinesnmetal I'm shocked they didn't have a spring for you but great job resolving it on your own!!!

Yes sir! Ended up being low compression in one cylinder. I suspect cracked rings or cracked piston.

Yeah they were very quiet, interesting engines

It's solid core with 75/25 gas

The cutoff wheel ate right through it, I think the ranger frame was 1/8". I do have a torch and plasma but the cutoff wheel really was the right choice for me. I had two frames that I needed to duplicate the cut perfectly on. If I were cutting something heavier than 1/8" I'd agree with you on the torch

Thank you

oh yeah

Most of their hand tools are

I took these off! I hated it, I did just put on a nice set of BFG K02 235/75/15 this weekend and they look so much better

Thanks so much for the kind words and I am glad that you enjoy the videos I make. I have been daily driving this truck lately, I am about to make a follow up video on it soon!

it's 1/8" thick, it welded great. Frame was prepped to shiny metal where I welded, video didn't show it that well but 2 years later I daily it every day and it's perfect! Thanks for watching!

Thanks ✌️I miss it now that it's gone

I always run synthetic in my cars and trucks & change oil and filter every 5000 miles. Everyone has their own way of doping what they feel is right. I am a believer that good oil and frequent changes are the best thing you can do for an engine.

@@frostydoesit cheers mate

​@frostydoesit me to man...I work on riding mowers and it drives me nuts how much people don't care. I tell every one oil is the #1 maintenance you should think about.

I could see those being a pita! may be easier on the back ones though with the dog house removed! You can do it!!

No problem 👍Thanks for watching!!

You're right, I should have just taken the whole truck to the scrapyard!

Glad you enjoyed it!

This is a super clean frame for up here in the rust belt. I like it how it is, can't make them all look brand new.

I have not! This little hyster only has a 1700lb lift @ 24in. If and when I need to pull one of my super duty cabs I'll put a forklift on either side of it, I have another small old Yale as well. I have pulled an OBS crewcab with 2 engine hoists, that was pretty sketch.

You could try shimming the spring so that it can't open the relief/return as far. I guess that's what I would try. Make sure you are also getting an unrestricted flow from the tank to the pump. I put a bottom sump in my tank with 1/2" line as the supply to my fass. Why do you have a driven diesel regulated return setup when your fass is self regulated and returns to the tank? Your setup doesn't sound ideal for what you are trying to accomplish.

that's the key with them, torque/check/torque

It sure is, was a very nice carrydeck.

I'm real happy with how it turned out, 2 years and it's still perfect!

I am sure there are a ton of guys down in Texas that could help you out. Join some groups on FB you are bound to come across someone that can help you out!

Thank you very much!

All the memories and feels...

Sound similar?

@@frostydoesit yes

Thank you!

Blow by is combustion pressure/gasses that make is by the rings. Basically causes the cylinder/piston to have low compression and those gases pressurize the crankcase. You can check blowby by taking off your oil fill cap and see how much pressure is coming out of that location, or your crankcase vent. Some blowby is normal especially on diesel engines, but anything excessive is a bad sign of overall engine health.

Best truck ever made!!

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!!

It sold quite a while ago, was around 20k I believe.

It's listed in the description of the video, amazon link

1/4 goes into the fass gauge fitting ?

Thought the size was 1/8 that fits in the spot guess I’m wrong

sorry about that, I had the incorrect link. I used this 1/8npt to 1/8npt to act as an extension so the gauge would clear the body of the pump. amzn.to/3JKP3il

I'm not restoring it, just fixing a rotted out rear frame. If you lived in the midwest like I do you'd think it was CLEAN!!

Made it very easy for me to line up perfectly straight, more weld area too.

Those 2 are favorites of mine as well!

I get them off school buses. I have a bunch of them, if you want some email me.

I was aiming for it to be undetectable from the outside frame rail (=

Thanks Scott, I appreciate that! Thanks for the sub!! -Frosty

Glad to help, thanks for letting me know!!

That's awesome that you haven't had to!

I think you did a good job here. I also never used silicone grease until the last couple times.

😆 😂 😆

That's a great idea, I'm sure it'll hold up pretty well! I'd like to get my hands on those parts, where did you buy them?

Thanks Mark, I appreciate you taking the time to watch it and for commenting! I feel like I've heard that from an old timer, good saying/advice.

I have a few Miller machines, I used a 140 and a 252 on this project. I also have a syncrowave 250dx that I use for tig and stick. The little 140 would have been fine for this whole project.
