    Temps will drop drastically tomorrow here-What type of engine heater do you use ?

    I've worked in WY and traveled extensively through MT. Very familiar. In fact, that is exactly where I plan to revisit. Of course Winter #1 is best for polar regions. Not available everywhere, but yeah. For my money, I will use the Hot Shot winterizer. I do like PS Dieselkeen for summer, but PS...

    https://youtu.be/n8gDN_6esfs You may want to look at this video. Diesel 911 is questionable.

    Survey...... "oil line of death 3116" (governor oil feed line)

    I ran the thermometer along the flex tubing and it was in the 160's F at the block and 170's at the governor. Probably would go higher with warmer ambient temps and engine load.

    How many have had their driveshafts balanced?

    You are WAY off base here. If people are timid, so what? All of us can operate a hammer frankly. If people want to help others learning these machines, so what? This place is a mess of information, and it is mostly disorganized. If I make a easy to digest pictorial to help others reduce the risk...

    Survey...... "oil line of death 3116" (governor oil feed line)

    I.D. diameter is was one of my concerns when the fix was documented. Using the documentation that you provided, it would appear that that the hydraulic hose as a more consistent I.D. The I.D.. on tubing appears to be more of a nominal number, varying significantly with O.D. Based on that info...

    Building charge / jump cable / "connect whatever you want" set. Upgrading stock 4 gauge wire to 2/0 gauge-15 feet. End of cable can be adapted by connecting various types of connectors with like male connectors (i.e. clamps, battery charger maintainer connections, generator connectors...

    How many have had their driveshafts balanced?

    So we should jack up the back of the truck and watch for movement? I also note that it is recommended that the Ujoints have safety straps, but my search has come up empty. Would loctiite work?

    How many have had their driveshafts balanced? THE POLL

    I'd be curious about the how many have tube deadeners replaced or deleted, per Awesomeness's guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lO81iwFDxHaCD2QMAyim7YneaE2Sr3J58OUeQY-RjdU/edit#heading=h.tbqchn2sf8dy

    waste oil stove

    I don'r know about JP-8, but I would definitely NOT use WMO in this application. Way to many toxic substances. I would use a waste oil boiler such as Murphy's, or one at least one that the fumes are vented.

    Interesting. No warning. Just read your write up. Excellent. So when they redid the driveshafts, did they balance them? (Designation "D")
