The reason I posted this on the last page wasn't to use it with their batteries, but to use it with the 24V in the truck.

If you paint some towbars in greenscreen green, you can connect a dozen non-runners to one that does, and in editing they can make it look like they're all just driving very close together.

When you're solo, the engine hoist helps with getting the hood off safely, as well as pulling the rad out once it's loose. I did not pull the big fiberglass tub, just unscrewed the rad from it and left it in place. I think the manual wants you to pull the tub and rad as one unit. I should...

I did not. I capped the hard-lines and the hoses as soon as they were disconnected. Topped up the fluids after.

I pulled mine to get the radiator out to take it to a radiator guy for repair. It's a lot of work, but not too bad. I did it by myself. If you do end up pulling the stack, stop at Harbor Freight and pick up some of these.

Somewhere there's a farmer who has a barn, and in that barn is one of these being used as a big table. I just have to find that farmer...

Reminds me on mine, except your wires aren't burnt. Crawl under and look up.

You never said what you wanted a picture of, and I don't know what a turret hatch latch is, so here's the ones I did get.

Some easier than others. One of the vehicles has zip-ties around the door handles, holding the doors latched closed. They do that if the hinges are suspect, because if you open one of those doors and the door comes off- you'll need an ambulance. Two are open the last time I was there. Let me...

The general consensus is the keyed switches destroy the start box, which is an expensive repair. There are better options.

Uh, you know they don't have keys right? ;)

New additions to the DRMO yard.

The last thing you did before it died seems like it involved that slave port. Take it out.

The AC Delco ones I got from a supposedly reputable dealer were individually boxed, and 10mm. The 10mm ones build character because you get to do the job again in a few months or less; the turbo trucks with the 400amp alternators build exponentially more character than the NA trucks. :mad:

Call Retired Warhorses - I think he does these sorts of orders.
