Thanks! That site yielded the following NAPA part numbers:
Engine Paint:
DE1618 "Detroit Diesel Alpine Green"
Filters:
FIL1138 Oil filter
FIL3540 Secondary fuel filter
FIL3552 Primary fuel filter
Does anybody have a cross-ref for the air filter? It'd be convenient if
I could order that from NAPA, too.
After spending a few hours cleaning enough rat's nest out of the engine
compartment (particularly around the fan and belts), I installed a pair
of group 24 batteries and fired up the Goat. Even after sitting for
around 2 years, it started up immediately! It's been a long while since
I've heard that wonderful Detroit rattle.
Those %!%$@$##!@@ rats completely filled the space under the
transmission hump with nettles or thistles or whatever the heck they
are. Up to the top!! Packed like a wheel bearing!! Grrrr.
There was no brake pedal pressure, so I'll need to check the fluid and
see if anything is leaking before I try moving the truck. Oh, and I'll
also check the transfer case oil pump priming, too.
Once I can drive the truck, I'll move it to another location where I can
pull off any hull plugs and access covers, and then start attacking it
with a shop vac and a pressure washer.
