    Mystery of the Clicking Solenoid - M1009

    Well then I'm not telling you anything that you don't know. But when jumping the two large terminals on a GM solenoid NOT THE BATTERY TERMNIAL AND "S" TERMNIAL, but like described Trust Me there will be a BIG SPARK. You will be connecting the battery to the starter motor directly. The starter...

    Mystery of the Clicking Solenoid - M1009

    No it will only eliminate the wiring to the solenoid itself. If you jump the large battery term to the large starter motor term with a "BIG" screwdriver (INSERT WELDING GLASSES HERE) then it will eliminate the solenoid. The solenoid is just a large relay that also extends the starter drive to...

    Mystery of the Clicking Solenoid - M1009

    While I have no problem hitting a starter with a hammer or for all you power window people with it stuck down in the rain (HOLD UP BUTTON, BEAT ON DOOR PANEL). It would seem that his truck has had many electrical problems in the past. Search for his other posts. I doubt that leaving the...

    Wet stacking after startup

    I understand that it gets hot in Texas, But it gets hot in Connecticut too. We have a fair share of 90's in the summer. BUT hot to engine oil is 200+ and flows different at that temp than at ambent temp when your at start up. Cold oil is thick oil and makes more pressure than thin hot oil. That...

    Defroster issues

    I was thinkin of tring that, but wasn't sure what else was up there. Is the upper vent stamped in the dash sheet metal? Or does the diverter box just favor the right side?

    Mystery of the Clicking Solenoid - M1009

    When your taking you voltage readings what are you using for a ground? The body or battery? If it's the body check your ground connections at the block and inspect the negitive cable for a small pigtail to sheet metal ground on the radiator support. Also check for a ground strap in the rear of...

    Defroster issues

    It has lots of heat and air on the passenger side inner vent and there wasn't any snow on windshield overthere, I even tried blocking off the vent overthere thats why I was wondering if something was messed up or plugged by a mouse. As far as a front end cover, not yet. The engine runs at 185...

    Defroster issues

    Ok so we had the first crappy snow/rain storm of the year today and I was foolish enough to go for a drive before it started. Needless to say I found out that I do indeed need new windshield gaskets/seals etc. but I had my trusty roll of duct tape and after a short stop on the side of the road...

    Run do NOT walk!!

    Why bother with the ramps. Once the front end of the Deuce hits the tail of that trailer it's gonna pick up the back end of the Dodge. I hope to hell that I don't end up in front of him going down hill or at a stop light. A 3/4 ton Dodge no doubt it can pull the Duece while on the trailer BUT he...

    installing a turbo with small exhaust

    Small pipe wont allow your turbo to spool up as fast as larger pipe. Turbos rely on pressure differences in the exhaust system. A turbo creates backressure between the engine and the exhaust inlet of the turbo, without this the compressor will not spin. The greater the pressure difference...

    My new Deuce

    It's quite at idle and under light throttle, but under a load or at speed (40-55 mph) the turbo has the nicest sound and you really can hear it spool up and down well. I was planning on using it as a work truck so the nosie level had to come down a notch. With the muffler on the truck the next...

    My new Deuce

    Well I figured that, but where did it go before? Or are all M35's life this. I never looked that close before. Seems to me it could have been done a little neater.
