In this exciting episode, we take on the challenge of reviving a classic 1978 F350 dually, a former Uhaul rental truck with a storied past. Last time, we discovered a significant issue: a leaking carburetor flooding the crankcase with fuel. Today, we’re diving deep into a complete fuel system overhaul to bring this vintage beast back to life.
Will our efforts pay off? Can we fix the fuel leak and get this truck ready for its first drive in years? Join us as we tackle the repairs and see if we can turn this old workhorse into a reliable ride once again.

Great job brother " Let's Go "
Heck yeah brother thanks for the comment and support
Man its getting hard to wait for it to start can't wait to see what you do to it
Well it a freaking fight from start to end brother. She faught the whole way. Can't wait for your thoughts on it. Thanks for comment and support
Someone probably already told you but that top hose is just a bowl vent. It from the factory would have gone to the charcoal canister to catch excess fumes
Good to know and no one has yet. Thanks for comment and support.
LET'S GO!!!
I've wondered so many times why you never ran the fuel line direct to the pump instead of messing with the electric setup you had. I bought a 66 Galaxie in college, that was how it was setup, the fuel was a gallon jug wedged in the corner 🤣I did the same thing when I got the 68 Cougar I had running since the fuel line to the back of the car was rusted out.
If you haven't figured out a fuel tank you like yet, what about a tank from like a 78ish F600 or another big truck? I watched a show once where they used an old beer keg as the fuel tank mounted on the side (not my style of build) but something like a small semi tank (round, horizontal)
Well, thanks so much for the comment and thoughts. I can't come up with the great ideas without you giving them. Seriously, I try and use all the ideas and store them. I usually don't use the system on the truck out of fear that it has some level of junk sitting in it.
The fuel tank i ended up with was 100 bucks. I do like the belly tanks you're mentioning, but they are 600 plus. The issue I was trying to figure out was twofold. One to fit in the location and one that the sending unit fit in and worked. So thankful I got close. Def appreciate the feed back keep the ideas coming.
Could a radiator shop dip that tank and get it clean?
My thought on the F600 tank was it might fit the spot and you could find a used one (if it’s not in the same condition as what you already have)
Kinda crazy the factory pickup tanks don’t fit that truck.
thats a good suggestion have to see maybe. Thanks for that
You guys are awesome- Let’s go does not work should try a new paraphrase. Other than that you guys Rock on. HD.
Well I fortunately love it. I get not for every one. Thanks for comment and support.

Nice job sir Nice truck Ford good show 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍😃
Thank you for the comment support. We appreciate it
Let’s Go From Kentucky. The state government repair facility where I retired from had several of the GMC & Chevrolet 2,1/2 ton dump trucks in which after those trucks got a few years on them, The tanks would very badly rot out due to the rock salt and calcium chloride that we used to treat the roads with during the snow and ice events. We had a horrible time trying to find replacement fuel tanks for those trucks especially. Another problem was the mild steel oil pans that would pour out engine oil which was quite messy as you could imagine. We found a very good source for stainless steel oil pans that solved the leaking issue.
I have worked on and also fabricated several of the mounting brackets for both the fuel and the hydraulic reservoir tanks which were also mounted on our trucks.
On my 1990 F-150, There’s either the steel fuel tanks or the plastic fuel tanks which look pretty similar to one another. Do you think that in the long run that the plastic tanks may be less problematic than the steel tanks? For the small engine stuff, I think the plastic tanks never have any issues unless they have the molded fittings which were bad about snapping off. There’s a quick and easy fix for that too.
All new vehicles have plastic bladders so gotta be good for sure. That's awesome. Thanks for the comment and support
@@JMRRebuilders I’m very strongly considering replacing my steel gas tanks with the plastic version tanks. What engine was that in the truck that was in the video, I didn’t catch that. I do remember that the older Fords could be very cold natured and could really drink some gas. I had a F-350 with a 400 bored .030 over that seemed like it could use a 1/4 tank of gas from town to home about 7 miles away.
Yep she got the 400 also. Have you seen our other content. We got a few of these
@@JMRRebuilders Actually, I stumbled upon this video earlier this evening and was naturally curious. I will look for some of your other videos with this truck in it.
When I had my Ford F-350 I had considerable difficulty with the valve seats eroding away because of the difference between the leaded gasoline cylinder heads vs the cylinder heads intended for use with unleaded gasoline. I think that I pulled the cylinder heads off about 2-3 times which was a costly proposition each time. When the engine ran well, It was pretty strong - But unfortunately it just wouldn’t stay that way. When my truck ran its best, I sold the truck to a farmer who loved the steel flatbed that was on back and the dual rear wheel. That was the only Ford that I owned that had a lousy heater.
Ole ford on the road
Let's go brother
New sub let’s go great content
Heck yeah thank you so much for the sub and the comment. We really appreciate the support.
Actually she sounded pretty good at first even though she needs a little more lovin'
Heck yeah she alot closer for sure. Thanks for comment and support
that's where your gas is coming from
I was never using the stock motor pump.
the diaphragm on your fuel pump is shot
I replaced it. Stay tuned.
Engine should be really clean inside 😄
I hope that's a good thing.
It’s amazing that back in the day U-Haul didn’t order trucks with Air. That truck never had AC. Can you imagine having to move across country without air conditioning
Yeah some would say that would make ya tougher. But dang it man I am thankful for ax
@@JMRRebuilders I had a 1949 Plymouth business coupe, and I bought some stuff at the local parts store and lined it myself. It worked and was still running when I traded it off
Motorcraft oil filter will improve oil pressure over that fram
change the fuel pump
I did in this video it was the fuel filter being backward s. Thanks for comment and suppirt
