    If you put a 42"sit down flat top bunk on You can put a tank in the middle between the cabinets(side boxes) and leave the a/c heater in place. Out is a 8X12X18 inch area if I remember right

    I mean my frame space is pretty limited. Don't really have the length to fit a sleeper and a service body.

    Welp. Troubleshooting a no start.

    Fired up after I put filters on yesterday. Now it just cranks and tries to kick off every once in awhile.
    Both filters are full of fuel.
    Bled air out of the bleed screw on the engine filter.
    Tried cracking a line up on the front of the engine up by the head but it wouldn't budge and I didn't want to break anything.

    Don't have any glow plug in a can and I've got the pickup hooked up to the batteries putting some more charge in em.

    Im probably a few hrs late, but you probably got some air in the system. You need some ether to get the motor to fire off enough to suck fuel.

    I went and got some ether. Itd fire off with ether but wouldn't stay running. I blead some more air out of the line. Since the batteries were fairly weak I put the charger on and decided no time like the present to throw a gear reduction starter on as well since it cranks pretty slow as is so I went and got one along with a coolant temp sensor and am headed back to try try again.

    Got the starter in. Cranks alot faster. Now I've got to find this fuel issue. I've got fuel to here.

    Next place to crack a line is up front behind the lift point and I cant get to it without taking that off. Is it possible that the secondary filter is letting it drain back to the tank through the return?

    Or somehow the difference in micron ratings is causing it to not feed enough fuel. I'm not getting any smoke out of the stacks whatsoever when cranking

    The fuel that I poured from the filters I just put on was clean and clear.

    I've got fuel coming out of the filter bleed screw

    I've got fuel coming out of the fitting just before the head.

    I've got fuel coming out of the return line from the back of the head.

    There's no bubbles coming from any of it.

    There's no smoke black or white coming out of the exhaust.

    It'll hit a little off ether but won't kick off running on its own.


    My next idea is to see if the injectors are getting the signal to fire or if the ecm might be dead. Neither of which I know how to do.



    I also got some biocide to shock the tanks with.
