Hi Dave fun video

[@HelicoolsHelipad]

@@markwilliams7088 thanks Mark. It’s been one of those days for trolls on KZbin… not this video, but others. So, your kind words are very appreciated!

[@BrokeOverLand]

That sounded like Air in the fuel line. might be time to look into a replacement set of fuel lines if it keeps doing that. Good to see you are going to get some shop space again. :)

[@HelicoolsHelipad]

@@BrokeOverLand I have a set of fuel lines I have been saving. Though I think it might be something else, as the truck did sit for a while…long enough to kill the batteries. But I’ll take any advise, thoughts and prayers at this point! 😁

[@Porsche_Past]

Also get a NOCO on your batteries. Way cheaper than new batteries. NOCO Genius GENPRO10X2, 2-Bank, 20A (10A/Bank) Smart Marine Battery Charger, 12V Waterproof Onboard Boat Charger, Battery Maintainer and Desulfator for AGM, Lithium (LiFePO4) and Deep-Cycle Batteries

Good to know!

[@madderanger7838]

I agree with Brokeoverland. Check out your fuel/water separator and priming bulb also. You may have a small leak at the drain.

[@HelicoolsHelipad]

@@madderanger7838 if this happens again, I certainly will. The shameful thing is that I have four new batteries that I bought almost a year ago to replace the batteries in the truck. It is almost embarrassing to say! I need to actually take some time and do some maintenance on Malachi. I hear that coming from my own lips, however, to find the time is quite another task.

I'm looking for a M1078 Cab Dave, if you happened to have one in your backyard or know someone that has one?

[@HelicoolsHelipad]

I have a partial cab... no doors, seats, dash... just the metal cab (more or less). Does that help?

[@TheEagleRising]

@@HelicoolsHelipad thanks, I need one with at least with doors and windshield. I have to replace the entire cab, it's totally crushed.

[@TheEagleRising]

The cab I thought I was getting was leaving the yard as I was getting there. How much are you asking for your cab where is it located?

[@MrMikey4026]

Dave I just have to ask, why didn't you use the air/hydraulic pump to lift the tire?

[@HelicoolsHelipad]

@@MrMikey4026 because I could not get the truck started to get any air into the system since the batteries were dead. Oh, I would have loved to have that assistance!

[@MrMikey4026]

@@HelicoolsHelipad why were your batteries dead?

[@Porsche_Past]

Hmm doesn't sound like you have been driving her Dave =)

[@HelicoolsHelipad]

@@Porsche_Past busted! Yeah, I know. Been real busy. Shameful, I know.
