[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 821157, member: 484"] Sat I had a sup drop the lid to some fuel treatment into the tank. Thought nothing much about it. But within a day or two, I started to have breakdowns. The truck would just about stop. No power, top speed about 2MPH. The shop would haul the brand new 1000 in, and find no problems. I would be on it two days, then it would do it again. AFter about the third time, they showed me how to crawl under the package car and loosen some nuts, Prime it with fuel treatment, then tighten it again. Usually it would run OK for a while, and then have to do it again. AFter the first day, I had a set of coveralls in the truck, because it was a messy job, and some days it would be raining. . After about 4 months of having to do it at least 4-7 times a week, they held it out, and dropped the tank. And sure enough there was the cap. Just big enough that when the conditions were right, it would cover the intake and stop most of the fuel. HAving the coveralls also came in handy the day I got stuck going up a long drive, and the right side of the truck was 2 inches from a rock wall. Had to crawl under the package car to put chains on the inside wheel on the right side to get it out, then crawl back under to take them off. No way a wrecker could have gotten me out without damage to the truck I also carried a back pack with a selected tool kit in it. Never had use for a shovel, but in east Texas, I could see the need. d [/QUOTE]
