They are low point drains, you leave them open for storage so water that accumulates in the tub can drain out. You are supposed to install them before operation, and most importantly before fording.

Superman if you find an extra that works pm me the price I might want an extra since I used the one I had

I have one that is kind of bad, it works for a while than out of the blue starts with the 5 lights after a while. I know the controller is the problem, because I swapped it with a spare I found in my truck when I got it. I was always able to shut the truck down for a few minutes and re start it...

I would replace the thermostat first if they stick it can do the same thing, right now it sounds like its stuck open.

I did that once and blew out the differentials. the times I have used that trick I also had it in 4wd lock.

I have no written documentation I'm just going by my cat over the road buddy who gave me the 100k overhead interval, but it isn't hard to stick in a set of feeler gauges to check and verify if an adjustment needs to happen sooner.

I would suggest changing fuel filters first, you should have a series 60 Detroit in it, they are a pretty reliable engine you may have to have someone with dedac plug into it and look into the electronic controls, see if its derating for some reason,

I have the whole kit to do all cat engines, but you can just get the one for the 3116 from your cat dealer, its a bolt with a spring loaded tip that will drop in a hole in the flywheel when you hit tdc.

The valve lash is a simple thing to do don't touch the injector rockers with out the fuel system kit. My cat guy says the valve adjustment interval is 100k so if you want peace of mind maybe get a feeler gauge set and check it.

It could also be the cold advance not working, a timing issue, or some marginally bad injectors. I would start with glow plugs first

ACDelco 10-2010 RTV Engine Sealant - 5.3 oz Cartridge This is the gm stuff I used, I used my last tube on my oc-12 steering diff on my snow groomer. I really need to get some more because if you don't want something to leak this stuff will seal it. Like I said it sticks better tann any other...

The old oem black made by gm was pretty good stuff, always seemed to be a bit stiffer than the commercial available silicone sealers. the best stuffi have used is the gm duramax grey silicone you do have to use a razorblade to get it off.

That is something I might want to add to mine. The door latches are another part that could stand an upgrade I have had mine apart they look pretty wimpy.

When I was in the sand box every thing was jp-8, in the 80's we still ran gas and diesel. the duce was used for fuel support in the field, we had lots of gas for generators and almost none for hmmwv's. We pumped the duce tank, loaded it with mogas and took off to get more diesel. As a young...

We call them diesel engines the correct name is compression ignition engines. Regardless of the fuel type the testing is the same cut your fuel by 50 percent with mogas and your exhaust will dramatically clean up. I would not go straight gas as it can score the cylinder walls and it will be hard...

Read your manual before using the cold starting aid, it does not have a pressure switch in the system to keep you from giving it a squirt with out cranking the motor over. The way I do it is depress the cold start switch, crank the motor and release the start aid switch and it comes right to...

There are 2 different size threads, so take your can in to napa and they can hook you up with a new canister. You will cuss a bit pulling the old one out S&S really shoe horned it in between the spare tire and air filter.

I installed a new quick start bottle in mine temp hasn't got below 0 yet, but with a press of a button she fires right off

If your starter is dragging look at the batterys, or starter, a gear reduction starter is a good upgrade. If your motor isn't sinning fast enough it wont build the heat to start.

you aren't going teo rev a 3116 that high with out floating the valves. 2500 is about all you can get out of them with maybe the ability to see 2600
