My two cents...... For tight maneuvering, get power steering. Single 1100-20 NDTs have a rating of 5,900 lb/ea. Get lower aspect ratio tires if you need to lower the CG. Singles will reduce turning circle. For superior traction in mud (building sites), use chains. I can install mine in 20...

I have seen them with and without the filter "pads", don't think it's critical, but the spray pattern is, so the more pure the fuel is, the better. The fuel is supplied from the IP boost pump and is filtered by the vehicle primary fuel filter and the in-line filter only, so the filter pads...

The coolant filter is a "bypass" filter, so only part of the coolant is filtered each time around. Eventually all of the coolant will be filtered. If you are concerned about pressure loss by having the heater in the same circuit, add a petcock and turn off circulation through the heater, it...

Using a thread as a log is what I do sometimes also. For improvements, trace out the wiring for the head lights and put them on a separate circuit breaker, so that a non-related problem won't leave you without lights. What kind of turn signal unit does your truck have, do you have 4-way flashers?

See, it pays to look at the specifications....

Good job, thanks for posting. LED tail lights are great for slow moving MVs. EIKO makes a lot of substitute stuff, wonder if the life expectancy is the same as the Tungsram bulbs....

The pressure rating is the clue, the deuce switch should be rated 3,000 psi plus since its operating pressure maxes out at about 2,000 psi.

Ernie, spend a few bucks and get a hydrometer and check the specific gravity of the cells. That will tell you if your batteries get fully charged, just follow the instructions and adjust readings to room temp. If they do not get fully charged, non-reversible lead sulfate could be the problem and...

That looks like a good unit, the only thing that's not clear is if it can handle two batteries in series, which should be addressed separately. It appears to be for 24 volt batteries. In other words, if your series connected batteries are not discharged at the same rate or otherwise not...

Check the specific gravity also, if it doesn't agree with the state of charge indicated on your DVM, there may be some sulfation present. So, a fully charged battery should read 12.6 volts, open circuit after short load (like running the head lights for a few minutes to remove any surface...

Jason, it doesn't prevent sulfation, it removes it, so that the battery can perform as new, but it takes time. Like you state, keep the battery fully charged and keep sulfation from taking place. Problem is that most batteries are allowed to run down some, so sulfation will occur. I like the...

Mark, I didn't edit your post above....hit the edit button instead of the quote... What you state is the correct interpretation. I have a solargizer panel here and would estimate the power output to be 1 Watt max. My Chargetek puts out 5 amps (more than 100 times the current of the solargizer)...

Batteries need to be fully charged in cold weather. Self discharge is much less in the cold so batteries last longer, but they must be fully charged. Use a charger maintainer, Solargizers won't help, read the small print, they will restore sulfated batteries, which occurs when they are stored...

Any rust in the fuel system can cause problems with metal-to-metal seals within the injection pump, so be aware, I know from experience. The micron sized particles will not be stopped by the filters and will score or jam vital parts. Have the tank professionally cleaned and/or recoated on the...

Welcome to the site! This illustration may help. Watch your engine temp closely if you think you may have a lube problem. The pressure regulator located on the block below the turbo may have to be checked. There are two spring loaded plungers within it and they need to move freely. Not a big...

The fitting on top of the tank is only that, a fitting. The extension is needed.

I had a similar problem a couple of years ago (?!!) and with a set of left handed bits from Will, I was able to clean out the broken bolt. Bottom line, use LH bits at all times for this, starting with 1/8" or so, every turn of the bit applies pressure in correct direction.

Not sure which "rod" you are referring to...here is a different view of the IP, the two rods/plungers circled are lapped to fit (metal to metal).

Well, a roller could serve many purposes.......

Thanks again for the eyedeers...I have pretty much ignored it and it's amazing to see how much attention one little thing can get when brought up for discussion. :-)
