Apparently we are having problems with the fuel tanks. Seems that the reserve tank isn't supplying to the main tank and if there is space in the reserve tank then the fuel from the main tank is going over into it. So now we have a reserve tank that is full of fuel but the truck can't use it because it won't go into the main tank...Any suggestions?

    It sounds like your fuel tanks are not venting. Most trucks have the vents in the caps. Loosen the caps and see if the fuel level evens out. I have had to replace the caps or drill a small hole and install a brether,similar to the breather on the diffs.
    If that does not work, there is a junction valve that needs to be replaced usually over top of the transmission that has 3 hoses coming out of it,one to the engine,the other two to the tanks.
