I don't know about the R, but a group 51 battery works...I have three in
service now.

Rubber hoses should be where fuel tank sender connects to main fuel line
headed toward the engine, where the main line connects to the steel line
in the engine compartment that supplies the fuel pump, and then any
place else that someone has cut the lines (like for a fuel filter).

Hello FCers...

I have asked this one before, but it is time for a new battery for the
recently completed/repainted Rampside. Is it a Group 51R battery that we
use? The old one is currently not really holding much of a charge, and
it has been in there a while.

Also, I have a great deal of trouble restarting the Rampside once it is
warm. I think it might be sucking too much air at a deteriorated fuel
line hose. I am going to get it on a lift to check things out just as
soon as it is inspected. How many fuel line hoses are there that could
be causing this trouble? I know the truck has one added where an in-line
fule filter was added, but I am not sure of all of the stock locations.
Anyone have a quick primer for me?

I am looking forward to driving it again. It has been off the road since
January . I did drive it home, and it ran fine (once restarted!!! that
was work!), but it still does not have the sticker in the window. I
would like to enjoy it a bit before the snow starts flying and I have to
park it for a few months.

Thanks to all!

Ben
