If you measure between the hot terminal of the rear battery and the negative terminal of the front battery you will get 24 volts so you can hook it up to those terminals. The problem is what Doghead said is true in that the only thing 24 volt on the vehicle is the starter, and radios in a 1009...
Dredging this one up from the past, I just found some stuff that would be perfect for the situation we were talking about with the wet boards.
Dang, I just realized it is a E-bay link! Give me a bit if time to figure out how to get the info to you all without violating the policies here. This...
Did the requirements change for pm's? People are getting a message that my inbox is full and yet when I check it is not. I just deleted a bunch of stuff and still the pm's that were sent are not there.

That sensor is located in the head is it not? These are air cooled motors, have you checked for air flow over all of the cylinder and head surfaces? My guess is mice have clogged up the works. The bottom end will not get hot for a long time on these, especially without a load. You are going to...
People keep mentioning spray pattern on the injectors and I cringe every time they do! Diesel injector will inject fuel right into the skin, Instant gangrene!!!! Chances are good you will lose the finger. Be very careful when checking diesel injectors, that is why diesel shops have machines that...
When you say quite capable off road but not a heavy duty four wheeler that is a direct contradiction of terms. I can tell you right now that if you are planning to go off road fairly often then you are going to be doing more than light duty wheeling, go with the 60. I have done a lot of heavy...
A lot depends on what you plan to do with the truck also. If you are mainly street/ dirt road driving and not romping on it a 44 is fine. I have run a 44 with 44's for many years as have many of my customers. It is all in how you drive it. The one main issue is brakes. If you go with the 14 in...
Now that I see what it is parked next to be SURE to drop the transmission pan and see what is in there. Hopefully nothing, but it is due for a fluid and filter change anyway because I can assure you they showed it no mercy towing that trailer. "Think we will make it on time Sarge? It ain't your...
I think you have to move the perches, You will probably need an adapter u-joint that fits the shaft and the rear. These are a common number that I do not remember but someone will have it. The E-brake cables I honestly do not remember. It has been a long time since I did a swap and the old...
That is not a bad tranny after some upgrades and if you don't beat on it then it will last a very long time as is. Put a BIG transmission cooler on it. Best insurance you will ever have.
Not as the crow flies but I would have to go 295 and 55 to get to you or the shore route. Either way is a hike. Now of coarse some of the western guys are looking at the map and thinking " My driveway is longer than that!" :lol::lol::lol:

Keep in mind that you will have grossly mismatched brakes also. Your best bet is to go with a matching 60 in the front. Then get a master cylinder for a one ton.
Do you have the stock filter arrangement? If so have you opened the drains on the filters to see if there is and water? It would take a lot of water to get to the pump though. Are the screens in the pumps clean? When you have it in the prime position are you getting fuel back to the tank? When...
I NEVER use those easy outs! They are designed to do just the opposite of what you want to do, they tighten the bolt in the hole. The best trick I have found is to place a nut over the offending broken bolt and crank the mig way up and weld through the hole in the nut directly to the end of the...
He is planning on driving it not parting it. The 6.5 is not a bad engine, like the 6.2 it is underpowered but they get fantastic fuel mileage. Does it have the 700R4 trans?
Sorry,I didn't see your post from the 18th. Yes camber is adjustable. The body being bent down will affect steering going down the road but not in the way you describe. You seriously need to look at the underbody and check the uni-body rails! If they are rotted out, which is what will cause what...
Thanks for risking your equipment for this test. I am not in the slightest bit a generator engineer so I get to sit back and soak this all in. Is it possible to do damage on the DC side by running to slow? Also, another thought, If there were a load on the generator at the time you idled it down...
