You have it backwards. The front battery negative goes to ground. The rear battery positive is 24 V.

Might work. Best is slave/NATO cables. But IF you know the wiring circuit, you can jump from the batteries, looking at the interconnect between the batteries (largest wire). Jumper cables are rated for current, not voltage and you could jump off the negative of the front and positive of the...

You might reconsider the Yellow Tops. While they deliver great CCA, their poor reserve capacity might not be the best thing for North Dakota. While you won't have a glow plug load, the lack of reserve capacity will lower the overall cranking time, especially in cold weather. With a 24 volt...

Exactly. The terminology for that application is "freewheeling diode". When repairing circuits, most printed circuit boards have component identifications listed to a bill of materials so "R27" just means a resistor off the BOM line 27. Actual values and tolerances are not printed on the PCB.

Check the oil pan. THM400: pan_thm400.gif 700R4 pan_thm700r4.gif If you indeed have a 700R4, salvage yard for a trade.

Definitely dedicated negative lead of same gauge and length. Loom and grommet through the firewall. HEAVY loom, not the cheap corrugated polyethylene. Abrasion resistant woven, available from McMaster-Carr. I know, you already purchased. Would have been easier to use the existing wiring for...

An inverter that size should not be enclosed, they generate waste heat and need ventilation. Installing it in the duct/register would potentially obstruct air flow. Get a radio mount that fits above the transfer case lever. When you want to hose out the interior, cover it in plastic. A...

The THM400 was designed to be used on throttled engines. Diesel engines do not develop a vacuum so also check the vacuum pump. This is solely for the transmission modulation.

If you don't want to drive to the other side of San Antonio, Thrash is on West Avenue. They rebuild and balance. But they just might have one in stock.

You want me to give the brakes a looking over? 26k means they should be fine, if that is all highway. But if not highway miles, the rears could be toast. These vehicles have a ride height proportioning valve so the rear shoes could be gone. Probably due for a front bearing pack too. The...

Now is the time to fix that leaky left front. If the shoes are slimed, make sure to clean out the rivet holes first, these collect slime. Then use paint thinner to clean the shoes, finishing off with brake cleaner.

So the fuel pump MUST be good. No "water in fuel" light means we got all of the water. Time to change your signature line :-P

Stand by for good news...:-o

Most welcome! There is a different "taste" to DOT 3. DOT 5 is like olive oil. You don't swallow it, just a bit on the tip of your tongue will tell the difference...SPIT IT OUT!!! But your method is much better. Now, as far as the brake fluid level...it has to go somewhere. Since the...

The bleeder on the airpack is mid-body in the hydraulic section, the smaller diameter portion forward of the air section. It looks like a wheel cylinder bleeder. I bet you have the wheel cylinder cups sucked back off the pistons. Like I stated above, this is due to weeping cups which are due...

You probably have rust/slime clogs in the fuel filters. Or have an inop tank pump. With master switch on, you should hear it running in the tank. If not, fix that first. Yes, it will run without a tank pump as long as the system is primed. Changing the fuel filters would be a good idea...

Exactly. Which is why you need to disconnect the big battery lead and do the test light procedure.

While you may get away with burning waste motor oil, used deep fryer oil etc, it isn't a good thing for the high pressure side of the system. Multifuel was designed to burn anything from #2 heating oil to mogas, including most jet fuels, kerosene as an alternate. But all motor vehicle fuels...

It was fun...well, all but the pain of GoJo on open cuts. I looked on the MAC of the -20 and it shows 1 hour for fuel tank replacement? Impossible. Now for the good news. Two parts: To prevent the engine from running when priming after a fuel filter change, pull the pink wire going to the...
