    Wiring Accessories and Battery Switch

    It's all so confusing..As electrons flow from negative low to positive high. convention says t'other way round! But if you disconnect the batteries totally they tend not to 'deflate' as quickly.

    anyone ever moved a steering tube "up" on an m35a2 dash panel?

    EEZY PEEZI, Just take out the bolts on the original holding bracket, Lift the column to the max, Mark and re drill. Then fit nuts and bolts. I have done thus to all my trucks, And I am 152IBS. I also moved the seats back after grinding out the cab back strut. I am really comfy in all my trucks...

    24-volt to12-volt converter recommendations

    Use 24 volt accessories. The higher the voltage the lower the amp draw.

    Some things to check, Could be, Starts, Has fuel. Runs a while. Stops. No fuel. Vacuum or blocked pipes? Fuel in limited supply. Blocked filters? Piping? Remove the pipes and blow air through them. Fuel tank pickup, strainer ,blocked? check flow from the fuel pump.
