Truckers in the high sulfur #2 diesel era used 10% gasoline in their diesel to prevent gelling without any problems. This was because the sulfur in the diesel provided enough lubrication for everything to work ok. If #1 diesel (similar to kerosene) was available that was a better choice in cold...

Yes. Everything that is powered from the switch went dead. Fuel pump solenoid closed and truck died. Voltmeter showed nothing and the gen 1 and gen 2 lights would not light up. Heater fan quit working. The fusible links looked ok but when I pulled on them slightly and one stretched and pulled...

No. All fusible links are no longer than 9 inches. The original fusible links are connected to the wire by a hard plastic connector. All you have to do is cut these off and replace with the same size fusible link. I was just trying to point out which one might be burned into. I had this one to...

I would check the Diagram E-3-1 Red2R-12 volt engine wiring harness block-12 volt to ignition switch- 16 ga. fusible link. This is one of the fusible links that comes off the 12 diamond on the firewall by the glow plug relay. It goes to the ignition switch on the column. These fusible links can...

According to the American Petroleum Institute Arizona has 27 cents State tax on diesel and 24.4 cents federal tax on diesel for a total of 51.4 cents. This should be reflected in the difference in off road and highway diesel pricing. In Oklahoma there is 14 cents state tax and 24.4 cents federal...

That's confusing. What is the advantage of even having off road diesel if it is higher priced?

Thanks for sharing this info! Nice job on the install with excellent pictures.

Dielectric grease can be one of your best friends on any electric connection. Makes plugging and unplugging a lot easier as well as making a better connection that will not corrode!

Do not run offroad diesel in your truck if used on public roads!!!

Karl, Are you not making any more cards period or are you coming out with another improvement??

And yes #2 will work if done properly. I have used this trick a lot when others fail.

Heck, I have a nice original M1009 from Ft. Sill that would be a bargain for $14,995 compared to a modified one. I could probably find you some ocean front property in OK to go with it!

The m1009 has a real short rear driveshaft to start with. If this ride has always had this vibration the rear end yoke angle may not be matching the rear of the transfer case yoke angle. A transfer case mount or the rear springs could be causing a problem with this. Sometimes the correct shim...

LOL!! It makes a big difference all of a sudden when it is "their" truck!

My trucks all cost a lot less than $400,000!!!

I had the same thing happen on a tractor one day with two 12 volt batteries in parallel. I turn the key to start and one battery exploded very loudly. Never did know what the cause was. I washed tractor real good with water and then sprayed liberally with a multi purpose spray lube to kill the acid.

Nice! What kind of headers are you using on this 383? Also what is the purpose of the t's in the heater hoses?

Welcome from western Oklahoma!

I agree 3 gallons is not enough fuel in tank to prime system. I have experienced this on a M1009. More fuel in tank will probably help.

I would highly recommend Mystik JT7 gear oil. It stands up to heat really well and still performs like it should. Better than most Mil Spec Mil-PRF-2105E lubricants. It will last twice as long in a tractor rearend without the heat breaking it down and it lubricates better all the time.
