Anyone have a no start after opening the water separator plug? I drained the water yesterday and got quite a bit of sediment out. I drove 5 miles, turned it off, started fine and drove another 5 miles then turned it off. It sat for a couple of hours and it won't start. Is there a way I can clean the filters before new ones arrive as they will take a couple of days to get here?

Good choice Chris,

I have bought a couple of trailers from Tim at Kelley's Trailers, also have done some Glass work for him on his building, it was a pleasure to do business with him.

The 2000 PSD drove flawlessly (almost) to Macon GA where I am now awaiting my brother to show up in his Nissan (car) from NC to go the rest of the way. Have a nice hotel. I got here about 6pm. And wouldn't you know? There was a corner within walking distance from the hotel so the three-five could sit and rest with his trailer while I went and drank about what I've done. Tomorrow at 6am I pull out of here, hit Weeki Wachee FL and head back to MI to be home Sunday. And at work Monday.

Ok, so the (almost) is this: I was running him pretty hard through the mountains. Only pulling an empty 26' enclosed trailer. But running 75-80 mph and at times it'd downshift to third and be about 2800-3000 ish rpm. If I run it up there for a while and then come to an idle, say in that traffic jam they call Altanta, it was saying knock....knock....knock...knock... the dots are for pause. A little fuel and it went away. From the mountains to Atlanta I notice a knock when it idles. When I got here to Macon, no knocking at all. And not a LOUD knock, sounds like a single knock per RPM so like a rod bearing or something. I think I'll just put some MOTOR HONEY in it. Ok. Back to the corner.
