I have been told you can run a 12v winch on 24v if you change out the relays. I've seen videos where people in off road racing run their winches on 24v to make them winch faster. If you watch the videos, it does speed them up quite a bit.
I've also been warned if you do this to be careful...
When you start a thread, scroll down to the bottom of the screen, and you'll see "manage attachments". Click on that and it should take you to the photo upload screen.
If you're trying to upload from a mobile device, it's my understanding you can't do it without the Tapatalk app. Other than...
The OP has logged on as late as today but hasn't responded to the thread so we can help.
I'm locking the thread. If the OP wants it opened back up, he can PM me or one of the other moderators.
If you put a 5.9 and a NHC-250 side by side, you can see why this wouldn't be a upgrade. A look at the internals side by side would be even more of a eye-opener.
I would imagine the sliding clutch is stuck. As Fasttruck pointed out, don't try to force the lever to un-stick it or you'll be buying more parts. Pull the side cover and see what's going on.
I've seen that happen when the valve is sticking in the guide. It's a light hit because it doesn't take much force to push the valve back shut.
This is usually seen on engines that have been sitting for a long time and the valves have gotten sticky from lack of lubrication or the valve guides...
Are those good for high voltage? The reason I ask is because I've only seen them used on low voltage connections, usually on electric forklifts, jumper cables, winches, and such.
They also don't seem very secure as far as somebody sticking their finger into a unplugged end.
I was speaking to a younger fellow the other day that didn't even know what a bumper jack was. I guess they went away when the bumpers went to plastic.
High-lift jacks have a place and will work when others won't. They are also real handy.
The problem with them is they can be very unstable. You've just got to be careful with them.
From somebody that barely knows how to wire a CB radio into a truck, what is this load bank used for and why is it needed?
I've dabbled in CB linears and we never used anything like this running some pretty big linears.
High lift jacks work but are kind of dangerous. The best part is you can have one jack for several vehicles.
If you're going to have a weld on or bolt on jack, you can't hardly beat the Bulldog brand.
The weight issue won't be a problem. Traction might be, it just depends on if the trailer has enough tongue weight to load the truck enough and if the driveway is solid enough to support the weight without sinking up.
The ones I got were from the first batch, maybe a year or more back. Still working good.
I tend to believe the jimc frequency gauge is more reliable that the stock gauge. The stock frequency gauges and associated transducer are known to fail fairly regular.
Sounds like a R2 crash truck. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?38403-Just-got-an-R2-crash-truck
Post up some pics and we will know for sure.
