    Engine losing prime

    When I got mine the fuel filter was off side of block and starter was in floorboard. Figured out the fuel lines from tank to separator were shot. They were so brittle they snapped like sticks when bent. Thats where they lost prime and burned up starter trying to get running.

    Dual voltage alternator compatability question (1505 vs. 1506)

    I think it will work. The one that came on my truck was a 1506. I replaced it with a 1505. The only difference I saw was the regulator for each was different and would not swap from one alt to another. The 1506 had the regulator with led lights on it. 1505 regulator did not have leds.

    DIY camper box construction- what sizes/wall thickness steel or alu have you used?

    I have noticed the Blue Bunny ice cream trucks have a really nice box on them as they would be hella insulated as well. I have seen some selling cheap on auction sites.

    Cooling system hoses

    Should be able to take them to a plastic and rubber company and they can hook you up with new ones. The one around me is Hanna rubber. I have seen similar when getting other items.

    Air dryer

    After reading this I don't think my new dryer is purging. I have been wondering but had not had time to check it out. So the small air line is what triggers the purge? Does it take pressure or lack of pressure to trigger? Sorry new to air brakes.aua

    The correct response to "Why do you need a military trailer?!!!"

    You have to have all the accessories. Its like Barbie only for men.

    Just bought a 1998 lmtv

    The spiking to 230 then going down slowly sounds more like a thermostat or water pump issue.

    That makes sense as long as you don't change where shims are.
