I'm late to the thread and don't know if this has been covered but electrolytic capacitors don't tolerate long term storage. When de-energized the insulating oxides inside break down and cause the capacitor to short circuit internally. The general rule of thumb is that electrolytic capacitors...

The seal is reusable as well.

Phillips has LED H6054 framed lights that are DOT approved. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/phl-h6054led?seid=srese1&ppckw=pmax-vf-philips-auto-lighting&gclid=Cj0KCQiAh8OtBhCQARIsAIkWb6-fNrCDjp24a4L_thDla2u85s1wr2ApEYRJbfhCicOwgldH0U2L4y8aAjV1EALw_wcB Truck-Lite uses some weasel words in...

If you have algae it means you have water. Good luck getting the water out without a bottom drain. The additives don't make more algae. They simply don't get rid of what is already there. The algae lives at the interface of water and fuel in a very thin layer. There isn't much of it because the...

I like the Dakota concept but I'll have to finish some projects around the house before my wife will let me drop that kind of dough. I'm shooting for $300-500 to get two pressure and 1 temp reading with rpm optional.

Ideally with gaskets you should use some type of compression limiter. A piece of thin tubing cut slightly shorter than the thickness of the gasket installed around each bolt would allow the gasket to be torqued properly without squishing the gasket to oblivion or causing it to extrude.

I was thinking something like this except that it's OBD2 only. Maybe this is a start. It can output to OBD2. https://www.justraceparts.com.au/car-multi-gauge-base-unit-sensor-package?gclid=Cj0KCQiAh8OtBhCQARIsAIkWb69Y7wRKEvWWhVGN5C_Vr7JLIjcH7GVvVeSFMcN5kPO2TI0WEqya7QgaAqO8EALw_wcB

Joist tape sounds like it would be ideal. https://www.homedepot.com/p/1-5-8-in-x-50-ft-Butyl-Joist-Tape-for-under-Decking-Board-398228/311992207

Which RTV did you use? The Right Stuff in black is the best to use. Make sure the surfaces are clean bare metal. No paint. Trying to install the valve covers in chassis can be tricky. Those rear rocker arms like to scrape the RTV off while you snake the cover between the brake booster or fuel...

Depending on the location and extent of the damage, I would also consider an epoxy patch. Cut out the rusty area. If it's on a flat area I would use preformed flat sheets of Garolite G-10 and 3M DP100NS adhesive. Ok a curved surface I would lay up some fiberglass biaxial tape with West System...

How much waste oil does everyone have? You can blend it with diesel and it doesn't require any treatment. I have dumped oil changes straight into my tank on my M1008. That's 2 gallons into less than 20 for the 6.2 liter diesel. It ran no differently than normal and made no smoke. It did not...

Good evening. I have not done any research yet and am wondering what is already known. I have installed a 2001ish center mount turbo 6.5 engine in my CUCV. I installed the DB2 pump and did not carry over any of the later electronics. I would like to get some gauges on the truck and have all of...

If you don't think your switch will handle it, add a relay.

I drove the heck out of my M1008 when it was 100% original and it seems that the more I modify it the less I drive it. I drove it over 800 miles in one day but don't really trust it to go 8 miles right now. Now, I have had some failures in that time. The original radiator failed and cause the...

Rubber is not damaged by sand blasting.

Zig zag is single phase.

How does it drive? If it's shifting hard you may need to do some adjusting/repair. If the shifting is correct you're good to go.

I meant to say that it has been cracked for some time before it broke. That's what the corrosion on the fracture face indicates.

How did it get bent? It looks like it had been fractured for some time. There is corrosion in the break.

We run 99 and 125kW John Deere generator sets at 10% load for 95% of their lifespan. We get 35k+ hours out of them and don't have wet stacking issues. Lube oil consumption was outrageous on the 8.1L 125kW units so we downsized to 99kW 4.5L units. If you have motor loads with high inrush make...
