I am going to be doing a dual setup soon when money is available with tax returns. I planned on using a six way valve to switch my supplies and returns manually. I would like to keep a manual lift pump and not convert to electric. Any input on this? I would like to avoid going to a pair of...

The indicator was indicating a proper indication... With squeals, you typically want to listen at the rotational speed of the squeal. If it is really slow with vehicle speed...axle/wheel/brake problem. If it is much faster (around 3 to 4 (3 in the case of an M1009), it is usually a...

The switch I believe is towards the bottom of the column. Without getting too in depth, all you need to do is apply 12v to the purple with white tracer wire on the starter relay. This bypasses the safety switches and key. A simple momentary contact switch with a 12v feed will fix this issue if...

All you need to do is bypass the park safety switch wires by connecting them together or rewiring the doghead mod so it doesn't need the safety switch for protection. Not a difficult task by any means. The other thing is you may be able to use the old TH400 parts to get the Park position back...

That is scary. The more seat time you get with your rig the more you will become familiar with working on it. I have 13 years experience in the field but had zero time fixing diesels. Once you do your research and dive right in, these things are very easy to work on. Lots of knowledge to be had...

I'm sure whatever you can't get anymore you can find in McMaster or Grainer, it is just a compressor if it's like my M1031. Nothing fancy on mine.

No problem. The radiator shop may be able to source individual parts. I would rather spend $100 fixing the OEM one than $20 on a junk aluminum unit which doesn't fit. There is enough room under the dash to install and plumb a mojave unit if desired.

Turn the boost down on the blower motor or rotate the fuel screw counterclockwise a 1/4 turn...

I just pulled mine after seeing a pool of antifreeze on my passenger floorboard. To anyone that is searching how to do this...you DO NOT need to pull batteries, fuel filters, inner fender liners, etc. If you have a long 1/4" drive extension and swivel you will be living the dream. Only a...

Sounds like a shorted battery is dragging the charging voltage down which is probably causing that fusible link to get very hot. What is the open circuit voltage of the battery with the engine off? If it's 12.4, then it sounds like nothing is reaching the battery. That doesn't explain why the...

Isn't stock but looks fine! I think the saving grace is that they are still black steelies and not some yo yo bling alloys. Only the cool kids with smoke stacks run those for some reason. What did they come off of?

Highly doubt someone or something (like wind) pulled the door open too far. Usually when that happens, it pulls the door hinges out from the A pillar. Then when you shut the door it sticks out quite a bit. My vote is someone tried prying there way in.

Not to be a thorn but I really have to disagree with you. The D44 is pretty much maxed out in this application and that is with stock sized tires doing nothing but street duty. This is also going to show with your maintenance items such as TRE's, balljoints, bearings, brakes, etc. wearing out at...

Wouldn't you place them in front of the tires in an emergency situation???

Unit is some type of composite, not steel. You get what you pay for. In the FM100's defense, so far have had no luck with steel Racor's twice the price. They seem to be no better at sealing the filter element than a plastic unit. I really wanted to add a petcock assembly to make bleeding easier...

Interesting So really home heating oil, offroad, and on road these days are pretty similar except for what the man takes out in taxes? It seems like fuel these days are getting so complicated whether gas or diesel. I'm only 29 and I can remember back to the good ol' days of MTBE (well not for...

I understand offroad now is all ULSD with dye. Would home heating oil be more comparable to diesel fuel before we switched to ULSD? What do you recommend for 2 stroke oil? The only thing I typically buy is Amsoil but my KDX200 consumes far less fuel than my M1031:D

From what I understand, you need a wire that is capable of carrying 100 amps of 12 volt current to the back batteries? If so, you would need 6 gauge which is good for 23 feet. I would probably go with 4 just to be one size larger which keeps voltage drop to a minimum. I have to disagree with...

I haven't tried running anything but street diesel in mine but you are telling me that the DB2 will hate life if you feed it offroad diesel, home heating oil, or K1 with a lot of additive from Stanadyne, Diesel Kleen, etc.?

Probably 12/21/12 :) Sorry, I know the rules but I couldn't resist! Something tells me he isn't going to make it. You will lose sleep thinking about your DB2 choking on some post-apocolyptic alternative fuel.
