The hoses and fittings are dry. It is for sure internal. Not sure what happened but there is no way a rock could have hit it. It could have been from the body flexing when on the rocks or just a poor design of the cooler. I have a new one on the way.
It was interesting… because I put the oil...
Took a trip up North Meadow. The new Derale Oil Cooler blew out on me… took 10 quarts of oil to get her back home. Barely made it back. If it was not for the oil temp gauge, I would have lost another motor. Anyhow, it was a fun trip!
Getting ready for paint, exo cage and rocker panel replacements, I took off the bushwhacker fender flares and Arb Snorkel permanently. They are for sale.
Since I had to remove the blower fan to get access to one of the Arb Snorkel bolts, I decided to upgrade the blower fan to an more quiet and...
The only time I had problems with the th400 was when the Vacuum Modulator got fluid in it. Instead of buying a new one every year, I take it off and simply clean it with brakekleen and compressed air. Then I would adjust the screw on the inside of the Vacuum Modulator to give me the desired...
My Warn M12,000 24v motor went out this last winter. I did a lot of research and watched a lot of rebuild videos and decided not to drop another $2,500 on a new winch but to simply just replace the motor. $350
This new motor is an upgrade for the M12,000. Even though it is a 12volt, the...
I did the resister override years ago, about 8-9 years. It is great and has given me better starts and longer lasting glow plugs.
Jump starting with the 24v has worked well many times over the years. It’s like a quick instant start of whatever I’m jumping. Usually only 5 seconds is needed. It...
My 24v winch motor went out and I bought a replacement 12v which motor has more HP and in return making it go from 12,000 pounds to 15,000 pounds. About 30% more power with the new 12v motor.
My 24v starter went out too and I replaced it with a junkyard 12v one.
So currently, there is no...
Being extremely careful not to break one of 3 led strips mounted to the bottom of the DIY4X dash.
I went into O’RILEYS and with luck they had the exact part number Mr Doghead recommended for a starter relay.
Mock up of the wire connectors and pillaging threw my pack rat mountains of screws…
I...
My starter ran away from me last week. Luckily I had installed quick disconnects on the batteries and got it turned off before any serious damage happened.
I started with doing the doghead starter relay mod. The OEM relay lasted me 13 years.
I removed the passenger 1/2 of the DIY4X dash. It...
Does anyone have one of these kits as seen in picture? If so, how nice is it?
Anyone got other ideas on how to convert a k5 m1009 to a truck cab without replacing the body?
I am looking for winter ideas to heat cab better and a quick replacement that is lighter weight then the fiberglass...
