Under $30 for a Cat keyed battery disconnect plus a cable to mount it will stop 99% of these cases. Easy on a 939 series to mount it on the side of the battery box.

CUCV's have 12v to the trailer wiring circuits.

We usually got piece of pipe insulation and wrapped them around the bottom edge of the bulkhead as a seal. More for cold air than water but it blocked most of the water stopped too once you pushed it down into place and bolted it on.

No. Lots of aluminum electrolytic capacitors use a wet type electrolyte. In fact most of the ones you will see are of the wet type and therefore subject to a drying out process. The first few paragraphs here lay a lot of it out.

"Restored" is such a loose term- almost always these dealerships flipping it say "restored" when it means they slapped fresh paint on it and fixed the bare minimum needed to make it drive well. When I think restored I think all major assemblies taken down and refurbed from the bottom up. Not a...

This kind does real well at a good price. I have used it in other applications with good results.

If you want to actually use it for its intended use, get a kit like this and send it in. If you test at regular intervals after an oil change you can get a better idea of how often you actually need to be changing your oil and also what kind of shape your engine is in. For example with some...

A better option than all those, and the one I would go for, would be to add a separate 12v system with an additional battery and alternator. Without knowing what kind of truck you are talking about its hard to say how hard or easy that would be, but in general its not too bad to fabricate a...

Best way would probably be get a set of the towbar adapters used on the front and also mount them on the rear. The inside plates probable won't fit but you can use the outside ones and fabricate some inside ones. I have used them like that to mount shackles on all kinds of things.

This will eventually bite GL in the rear end. They can use their terms to cover the occasional mix up, but when it becomes a matter of routine from them to give the product other than listed, as it sounds like it is now there, then they are violating multiple state and federal laws regarding...

They have more than a few parked there.

They are most likely going to an from Sierra Army Depot in Herlong CA, just north of 80.

This one seems to work sometimes for injectors. This stuff in great for injection pumps. Especially in cases where the governor is sticking causing the engine to die when the throttle is let off. For both I deviate from the manufacturers instructions and instead I fill a new fuel filter with...

I figured injectors or IP may be the blame. The thing about worn injectors is that it is such slow gradual process that you never notice performance going away so gradually.

While running at load will "clean up" the evidence of wet stacking, it won't undo that damage that was done to the cylinder rings and walls while the wet stacking was happening, nor will it get the unburned fuel out of the oil that will become diluted. So its is kind of a misnomer to say...

Data plates with blank dates of manufacture are pretty common. Nobody in service cares about the date of manufacture, only the serial number and registration number matter, so when plates get replaced they don't bother stamping that. You have found the original auction showing no year was...

I stand corrected.

I have a forklift with headlights that are marked DOT approved. Why? Because there are a lot of parts that are DOT compliant already on the market that manufacturers use. Just because someone puts some DOT compliant parts doesn't mean it was done for the purposes of compliance, it could have...

There is designed for road use from strictly an engineering standpoint, saying that the mission meant the vehicle would be used 60% of the time on the road so was designed for that. That means it will perform as the specs say. Then there is designed for road use from a legal and regulatory...

Properly maintained, and that means treated with the proper wire rope lube, winch cables do not need a cover. Use a product like this.
