No, H2 wheels. I still haven’t figured out a way to paint them flat black that I think will last through the first rainy drive.

Loop them. Otherwise no oil to the engine.

Tire stores, tire manufacturers and the government all say 3-5 years is all a tire should last. Of course, they want to sell new ones or act like a nanny. So consider 3-5 years a minimum independent of tread wear for tire life If run at proper inflation with a properly aligned suspension. That...

I gets spooky when you leave the fan on and turn off the engine. The light will slowly dim as the fan motor spins down. most of my Gen 1 lights have done this. But not all.

I have had the Cowdog on the road a little over 3 years now. 4 years ago when I bought the H2 wheels off Craigslist. They had BFG all terrain tires on them with reasonable tread. Except they were 2007 or date coded. I have needed new tires from the start but life kept eating the money needed to...

Think of it this way. The first owner had a budget in the trillions. They threw lots of money at hundreds if not thousands of people to figure out a way to diagnose, test and repair anything that could go wrong on your truck. Then they threw more money at people to make several thousands of...

Why the cross member mount square tubing? Mine bolted on without issues. What are your rear drive shaft angles now?

Get your batteries load tested. They should be 800 Cold Cranking Amps each. If below that. Replace. Next is all the connections of the 24 volt path from the batteries to the starter motor. Undo, clean, sand, tighten after inspection. Then you have your starter motor itself. If everything else...

Tire size. 9.00 means 9 inch tread width and 100% side wall ratio. So, the side wall is also 9inches. 9 + 9 for each sidewall plus the 20 inch rim means 38 inch tall tire. 11.00 x 20 should be 42 inches. 2600 rpm with 9.00 tires should have you indicating 56 mph. What are you indicating at...

I enjoy all the above sounds as well. I kind of also like the air control valve popping a release of air about 15 minutes after shut down. I hear “aren’t we going to play anymore today” when it does that.

A volt meter is much better than a magnet for voltage diagnostics. I suggest you read the electrical troubleshooting guide in the -20 manual. Then follow the steps exactly.

I was writing about the air compressor.

Maybe bad ignition switch or a switch that needs to be adjusted.

Pull the caps for the unloader valves off. The springs are probably broken. Mine were. I found some springs at a hardware store of about the same size and wire diameter. Been working great ever since.

Reach up behind the gauges and feel your way to where the cable meets the speedometer. You can look first, but your left hand will go by feel only. You will be able to feel the release to pop it off. Once off, you can pull the cable below the dash and work standing up.

If the gauge moves with fuel then it is about as good as the stock system ever was. 3/4 tank indicated should be considered no more than 1/2 tank of actual fuel left. 1/4 tank indicated means you will be walking soon. It will still run at E. Probably. But not on slopes or inclines and not...

The gear in the 1122 picture is the one he was talking about.

Second the ORD dominance of the Square body. I don't think your rear tires will have any issue fitting. The fronts will for sure. I have 35's (315/75r17) tires on H2 wheels under my Cowdog Suburban. I had to use an ORD 1 inch add a leaf plus trim the front and rear of the wheel openings in...

If just the square drive slot of the yellow gear is bad. Putting aluminum foil around the square end of the speedometer cable will work. However, you probably have a very high drag cable housing and more than likely a hard to turn speedometer. Pulling the cable out the speedometer end of the...

Do you have a good bit of lift and or fender trimming planned?
